1. Hollow Tremors, before the fight

35 lines

The sea monster has been repelled, but your mood is not light.

Keeper

The villagers of Celephais have all turned into... such monsters?

Salvador sighs, but Sanga smiles lightly.

Sanga

Living in harmony with the sea, in my eyes, is also a kind of "perfection."

Doll: Inferno

Yes. All things in this world end in illusion. What we await... is the end.

Keeper

...

Salvador

Daughter of the All-Father, my sister, can you tell me why these monsters are attacking you?

Sanga takes out an ivory sculpture from her pocket and gently shakes it.

Sanga

I think they want this.

That is a vague, strange, and blasphemous ivory statue. Though it is broken and incomplete, its original form unrecognizable, it still leaves one feeling dizzy after just a glance.

Keeper

This feeling...

Doll: Inferno

That's right, it's a sculpture used in rituals. And it's for an Evil Ritual.

Salvador

Evil sacrificial rites?! Original All-Father, in your boundless compassion for all beings, please grant me the power to cleanse this place.

Keeper

Sanga, where did this sculpture come from?

Sanga

Lovely... do you want to know? But why should I tell you?

Your choice

Try to persuade Sanga

Keeper

You'll tell me. Sanga, you're always so accommodating when something piques your interest.

Sanga

Materials... so you already knew.

Ah yes... I don't mind sharing news with someone who understands my aesthetics.

Attempt to trade with Sanga

Keeper

I'll provide you with some special sculpting materials.

Sanga

Are you referring to yourself...? Heh. May I choose which body part?

Keeper

Of course not!

Sanga

What a pity. But for the sake of those special materials, I'll tell you.

This sculpture was a "gift" from a lovely child just a few days ago.

Keeper

Aurita?!

Sanga

Oh? You know Aurita? She still needs a little polish, but she's clearly close to true "beauty."

Sanga chuckles, and at the same time, Salvador and Doll: Inferno look at you.

Keeper

I still don't believe Aurita would do something like this. She's a good child.

Doll: Inferno

Heh, how "rational" of you. So your task now is to find Aurita?

Salvador

I respect that decision. The Divine Scripture dictates, "Do not judge hastily. Wait for their repentance."

You look at Sanga, silently inquiring about Aurita's information.

Sanga

I don't know where she is, but she might.

Keeper

She?

Sanga does not respond, just walks ahead. You think for a moment and follow her steps.
