Dialogue[]
Talk with Dan Heng[]
Mission DescriptionDan Heng, your most trusted Express Guard, and the most reliable companion on your Trailblaze journey.
He accepted Earth's divine authority, solely to stand alongside you and the Chrysos Heir friends, facing the new world and the impending final clash together. Just knowing he's back in Amphoreus gives you not just one, but a hundred times more peace of mind.
When his consciousness delves into the memoria tide where no one else can reach, he is the bedrock, the waves, and the frosty gales...
He is the Earth and all that exists upon it.
He came for you, and now you will both go for March.
The blazing sun has shown the way. Press onward.
- Dan Heng: Finally...
- Dan Heng: I've found you, (Trailblazer).
- Dan Heng, it's been a while...
- (Trailblazer): It really has... been a long time.
- Dan Heng: Don't be so sentimental. That's not like you.
- Dan Heng, did you... get taller?
- (Trailblazer): Long time no see. Did you... get taller?
- Dan Heng: Heh. While you were trapped, I experienced... a lot.
- I've been waiting for you for so long, Dan Heng.
- (Trailblazer): Dan Heng, I knew... you would come back.
- Dan Heng: Heh. While you were trapped, I experienced... a lot.
- Dan Heng: Thankfully, "Evernight" did not try to stop me. Looks like we've managed to stay ahead of her this time.
- We must save March 7th.
- Dan Heng: Rest assured, we won't abandon her. We'll all return to the Express together... No one will be left behind.
- What about Cyrene? Where is she?
- Dan Heng: You mean "Mem"? Sorry, I haven't seen her at all on this journey. Perhaps you were not the only one being held captive by "Evernight."
- How's the Express Crew doing?
- Dan Heng: They never once stopped worrying about us, about you, me, or March 7th. They never gave up on trying to save us, even from outside this world.
- Dan Heng: Miss Himeko, Mr. Yang, Pom-Pom, and even Sunday, Black Swan, and the two geniuses... They are all doing everything in their power to aid us.
- She was everywhere in the memoria tide...
- Dan Heng: I understand. Her power... shouldn't be underestimated.
- Dan Heng: It was only when I personally stepped into the maze of "Time" that it suddenly struck me... She and I had crossed paths once before.
- Dan Heng: I'll only warn you once. Leave her body. Now.
- Dan Heng: I feel like I've seen these floating black things somewhere before...
- Dan Heng: I had an unexpected encounter with her when I left Amphoreus. Perhaps to avoid exposing her whereabouts, she stripped that memory from my mind.
- Dan Heng: That power called "Oblivion"... it's just like an Emanator's.
- (Trailblazer): (Oblivion...)
- She wants to erase "Worldbearing's" memories.
- She planned to make me forget everything...
- Dan Heng: I know. But you still remember me and our companions for now.
- Dan Heng: Do you have any clues about the memories you may have lost?
- Nothing seems out of the ordinary...
- Dan Heng: If I'm not mistaken, Evernight's plan is to make you forget Amphoreus, including the Chrysos Heirs who have journeyed with us up till now.
- "Mere mortals. Flawed individuals. Failed heroes..."
- Dan Heng: Are those "Evernight's" exact words? If I'm not mistaken, she intends to make you forget Amphoreus, including the Chrysos Heirs who have journeyed with us up till now.
- Dan Heng: But it seems you still recognize Lady Hysilens.
- "Hysilens": If I made that much of an impression on Little Gray Fry, then I am naturally delighted.
- "Hysilens": But I fear your escape from that power they call "Oblivion"...
- "Hysilens": Is thanks to someone else.
- Castorice...?
- Was it you... who protected me?
- "Castorice": Nice to meet you, or... maybe I should ask, how have you been since we last saw each other?
- "Hysilens": Along with you, this little butterflyfish's memory was also salvaged from the depths of that whirlpool.
- "Hysilens": Just as a pearl is cradled within its shell... the power of Thanatos surrounds you, shielding your soul from corrosion.
- "Castorice": Miss Cyrene has spoken of you often to me, (Trailblazer). Though we never met in this life, I believe... there's a kind of warmth that can transcend time itself.
- "Castorice": Through the endless flow of time, I guarded the secret passage between Styxia and the Vortex. When the memoria tide flowed backwards into the River of Souls, even in deep slumber, I could feel that warmth...
- "Castorice": And with all my might, I protected that warmth.
- "Castorice": I apologize if that seemed improper. I hope you'll forgive me.
- Thank you, Castorice.
- In the end, you were there for me.
- See, I really am a heartwarming (guy/
girl) deep down. - Dan Heng: She was just speaking metaphorically... This conversation feels familiar somehow.
- "Castorice": Haha...
- "Castorice": I understand that your mission is still unfinished. The path ahead is treacherous, and even though my body is bound to these dark currents, I'll do everything I can to watch over you both.
- "Hysilens": The little butterflyfish is right. There is still a pair of eyes watching from the shadows, but we won't let them get anywhere near you.
- "Hysilens": Go forth, golden dragonfish, and you, "Deliverer," seek out your companion...
- "Hysilens": Go forth and illuminate the lightless "Evernight."
- Dan Heng: I cannot thank you enough. Accept this promise from the Nameless: Amphoreus will definitely write a brand-new ending for itself.
- "Castorice": Of course, we'll write it together.
- Thank you, Hysilens.
- Thank you too, Castorice.
- (Trailblazer): The Nameless will never stop...
- Dan Heng: Until all of us stand side by side in the true new world.
- (Unlock Achievements Here I Stand, Shouldering All Lives and Souls Recognize Each Other Through Recollections)
(Optional) Talk to Castorice and Hysilens[]
- (No matter who you chose to talk to first, the dialogue for the other will immediately follow. Each will fade after their conversation.)
- (If Castorice is talked to first)
- Castorice
- "Castorice": "At the end of the sea of flowers, the souls of the living shall warm thy fingertips, and after an embrace, there shall be eternal separation."
- "Castorice": If I hadn't met you at the end of the world, I would've thought Lady Trinnon's prophecy was wrong.
- Goodbye, Castorice.
- "Castorice": Goodbye, (Trailblazer).
- "Castorice": If I could, I'd want to stay a little longer, but... Amphoreus is yet to reach the end of the sea of flowers.
- In the new world, the sea of flowers will surely bloom.
- "Castorice": As Lady Trinnon used to say, fate is not the flowers that bloom at the end of the road, but where people tread beyond the gate...
- "Castorice": Thank you, (Trailblazer). My own path... has finally come to a gentle end.
- "Castorice": Take all beautiful wishes with you, march forward with determination, and don't look back.
- (Continue with Hysilens' dialogue)
- (If Hysilens is talked to first)
- Hysilens
- "Hysilens": Go forth with courage, Little Gray Fry. My ocean currents will guard your arrival, and my songs will accompany your journey ahead.
- Goodbye, Hysilens.
- "Hysilens": Farewell, Little Fry.
- When I return victorious, I'll throw a bonfire feast for you.
- "Hysilens": Hehe... You still remember how much I love fire and feasts. All right then, it's a promise. Go find your companion and see your journey through.
- "Hysilens": I'll raise a glass while I await your triumphant return, and then...
- "Hysilens": When we reunite in the ocean at the boundaries of this world, let me play a song for you beneath the glow of fire.
- (Continue with Castorice's dialogue)
Keep moving forward deep into the cave[]
- {Approach the Hidden Passage leading back to the Grove, optional)
- A golden light that can destroy the world pierces through the sky, the Sacred Tree, and the mountains. Looking from where you are, you see that the light behind that scar burns still.
- Dan Heng: Phainon is still fighting against the Destruction. Hysilens and Castorice remain on watch, guarding the path that led us here.
- Dan Heng: Only by moving forward can we honor the efforts of all Chrysos Heirs.
- (Upon entering the cave)
- Dan Heng: This place was once Mnestia's altar...
- Dan Heng: Could the golden thread be leading us to the world's deepest secret?
- (Approach the marked location)
- Dan Heng: Is this...
- Dan Heng: A symbol in the shape of "Amphoreus"?
- I've never seen it anywhere in this world before...
- Dan Heng: Naturally. How could a world enclosed within the scepter have a way of knowing what it looks like from outer space?
- I feel like I've seen this somewhere before...
- Dan Heng: Where was it? Can you remember?
- Oh right, it was in As I've Written...
- I think... it was in Tribbie's memories.
- Remember? The Eye of Twilight's mural...
- Dan Heng: Which Titan is this?
- (Trailblazer): It's very similar, yet somewhat different.
- Dan Heng: That doesn't make sense. How could a world enclosed within the scepter have a way of knowing what it looks like from outer space?
- Dan Heng: Unless... the mural isn't a drawing of Amphoreus... but rather someone saw the mural and shaped the world in its image?
- Dan Heng: Could that someone be "Zandar"?
- Dan Heng: ...No. His concession proves that this place where "Evernight" is hiding must be a blind spot of the experiment.
- Dan Heng: I'm afraid not even "Zandar" knows about the existence of this great tomb, or the secrets buried within it.
- Finally, we've found his weakness.
- Dan Heng: Best not get carried away. For something to be hidden even from him, it must be either extraordinary... or unimaginably dangerous.
- Did his creation go out of control again?
- Dan Heng: It's hard to tell right now, but this definitely isn't the outcome he wants to see. For something to be hidden even from him, it must be either extraordinary... or unimaginably dangerous.
- He's using me to dig up these secrets.
- Dan Heng: He must be calculating something. But this time, with the Chrysos Heirs giving us their full support, we've had the upper hand from the start.
- Dan Heng: This forbidden realm remains undetectable to "Zandar," and even Phainon's strike merely opened the entrance, yet "Evernight" can freely swim through it as she pleases...
- Dan Heng: It cannot be reached by the Erudition, nor can it be erased by the Destruction...
- Dan Heng: Be careful. What lies dormant beneath may well be Amphoreus's final Path —Remembrance.
Keep moving forward, deeper into the vortex of memoria tide[]
- (While descending the elevator)
- Dan Heng: It's endless... It feels like we're plunging into an abyss...
- (Upon approaching the vortex of memoria tide)
- Dan Heng: Are those distant structures... all entombed data?
- (Approach the marked location)
- Dan Heng: The whirlpool of Remembrance, bottomless and unfathomable...
- Dan Heng: Behind this mist must be "Evernight's" domain.
- Dan Heng: Ready, (Trailblazer)? Once we step inside, I'm afraid there'll be no turning back.
- Let's go! For March 7th.
- (Trailblazer): March 7th is surely waiting to see us again.
- (Trailblazer): Let's go! On the Trailblaze, no one gets left behind!
- (Continue to next section)
- Let's go and save this world.
- (Trailblazer): For March 7th, and for Amphoreus...
- (Trailblazer): Let's go! On the Trailblaze, no one gets left behind!
- (Continue to next section)
- Let's wait for a moment...
- Dan Heng: This is important, so make sure you're fully prepared. I'll be waiting for you, (Trailblazer).
- Switching to Black Swan's POV...
- Walking alongside Evernight, Black Swan would witness how Remembrance weaves itself into the fate of Amphoreus...
- Black Swan: This maze is full of... memory loss...
- "Evernight": Your voice sounds different from usual. I only hear a hint of curiosity...
- "Evernight": The rest is all fear, beautiful Memokeeper.
- Black Swan: ...
- "Evernight": I know exactly where that fear comes from. The "evernight" is a memetic entity's natural nemesis... They will swallow you whole with just a flick of my pinky finger.
- "Evernight": I am the Garden's enemy. I have never denied that fact.
- Black Swan: I have to say, Miss Evernight... you've certainly got a unique way of "protecting" people.
- Black Swan: (At least she's still willing to talk. Is it because I disobeyed the Garden's rules? Maybe I still have a chance...)
- "Evernight": No.
- "Evernight": I don't think you do.
- Black Swan: ...It's not very elegant to spy on someone's thoughts, you know.
- Black Swan: Well, before you get rid of this "beautiful Memokeeper," the least you could do is answer some of my questions.
- "Evernight": Why should I do that? So you can buy more time and send a message to your companions?
- Black Swan: And here I thought you were already watching my companions' every move.
- "Evernight": I am. Earth's stirrings have ceased. They have defeated Terravox and are heading here as we speak.
- Black Swan: Don't tell me that's a part of your plan, too.
- "Evernight": It's not, but I'll make good use of it. Fighting alone against an entire world, even I might miss something. But I know how to adapt to the circumstances.
- "Evernight": Just like right now, how I've decided to let you go. I like you, little bird. Your longing for "memories" remains pure... unlike those Memosnatchers.
- "Evernight": Your most precious quality is how you've yet to be tainted by the Garden's dark side.
- Black Swan: I'll take that as a compliment.
- Black Swan: But I still don't understand why you've kidnapped me here.
- "Evernight": Well, seeing is believing, so why don't we take a stroll together?
- "Evernight": This ruin buried deep underground is called the "kernel" in the language of Erudition, but I gave it a friendlier name...
- "Evernight": The heart of Amphoreus, the great tomb of the nameless Titan.
- Black Swan: The nameless Titan...?
- "Evernight": You'll see with your own eyes just how important the Remembrance has been in this world...
- "Evernight": And how we will stir up the waves of "Oblivion" to douse an Aeon's ambition. ♭
- Black Swan: You've been hiding here all this time?
- "Evernight": That's right. Curious about how I discovered this place?
- "Evernight": It's actually not all that complicated. The road we just walked was the beginning of March 7th's "journey in Amphoreus."
- Black Swan: The beginning?
- "Evernight": Do you still remember how Three Paths are said to intertwine in Amphoreus? That three entities, each comparable to an Emanator, left their marks in this world?
- Black Swan: There's Zandar, Irontomb, and...
- "Evernight": That's right. To this day, there have been no signs of the entity corresponding to the Remembrance.
- "Evernight": The Garden of Recollection was curious about that, too. So the Memosnatchers spent an unimaginably long time chiseling out a tiny channel to peek into this world.
- "Evernight": But there was always a power in the Memory Zone that kept them out.
- "Evernight": And when March 7th's consciousness was seized, it was a ripple of the Remembrance that protected her and sent her in here.
- Black Swan: Can I assume, then, that this hypothetical Emanator of Remembrance was consistently protecting this world from the Garden's eyes... until the Astral Express arrived?
- "Evernight": That's correct. You're a smart one.
- Black Swan: But... why?
- "Evernight": Go see for yourself, little bird. The memories contain everything.
- March 7th: This gate is... really... impressive?
- Black Swan: These are... March 7th's memories.
- March 7th: ...
- March 7th: Didn't move at all, huh. I just got here, and I'm already locked out...
- March 7th: A journey of a thousand miles stopped at the door? That's terrible!
- Black Swan: Is she stuck?
- "Evernight": Keep watching. The fun stuff is just ahead.

- Black Swan: Huh?
- March 7th: Finally, it's stopped... Wait. Did you just mention (Trailblazer)?

She's) barely spent any time in Amphoreus, and (he's/ she's) already famous? - ???: ███ I ████ █████ █████ you ██████████
- March 7th: Um... I don't know what you're saying. Let's not speak in riddles, alright? Why don't we... start with an introduction!
- March 7th: I'm March 7th, and I'm (Trailblazer)'s companion. Sorry, I accidentally ended up barging in here...
- Scepter δ-me13: >>> Establishing communications—
- March 7th: Communications? Oh, does this mean I finally get to talk to someone real? I really, really need outside help right now...
- Scepter δ-me13: >>> Channel established. Proceeding to encapsulate—
- March 7th: W-Wait! What? Encapsulate? Encapsulate... me!?
- Scepter δ-me13: >>> Encapsulation complete. Initiating transmission—
- Scepter δ-me13: >>> Transmission destination: Recurrence #33550336—
- March 7th: H-Huh!? What's going on! My body—
- Black Swan: The memory stopped so suddenly...
- "Evernight": She was already lying in the Abyss of Fate the next time she woke up, and Oronyx was calling her "mother."
- Black Swan: "Mother"?
- "Evernight": Maybe that's just how the Titan calls all Remembrance pathstriders, like how they call Fuli "sky father."
- Black Swan: So March 7th had already brushed against the inner workings of this world at the beginning of her journey. That warning in her memories must have been the Scepter's safety protocol.
- Black Swan: But why did it mention (Trailblazer)? March 7th should have entered Amphoreus long before (Trailblazer) and Dan Heng did.
- "Evernight": An inexplicable contradiction, isn't it? Let's put that aside for now. The protocol didn't kill March 7th. Instead, it threw her deep into extrapolations.
- "Evernight": Over the next 97 days, she — no, the two of us — "trailblazed" through Amphoreus as memetic entities as she evaded the administrator's pursuit.
- Black Swan: It must have been a difficult and lonely journey for her...
- "Evernight": Yes. No one could see March 7th. She didn't belong to Amphoreus's "memories." She could only watch this world from the sidelines like a transparent shadow.
- Black Swan: Then when did you appear?
- "Evernight": On the day that she ran out of options.
- "Evernight": March 7th tried so many things to help her companions, but the only outcome of her efforts was a few Amphorean folk tales.
- "Evernight": In the end, she had only one option left. Just as she wished... I erased everything using the power of "Oblivion."
- "Evernight": Then I protected (Trailblazer) and Dan Heng and made sure that they were spared from the Memosnatchers' clutches when they broke through the seal.
- Black Swan: And you've been hiding in the shadows ever since, while manipulating "Time" and colluding with "Earth"... all the way till now.
- "Evernight": A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. The story of the Remembrance has just begun.
- "Evernight": Why don't we step into it together? As someone qualified to walk with me, you can now take in all the secrets behind this door...
- "Evernight": And witness how, in a blank space of Time, another futile journey across thirty million lifetimes was forgotten by this world.
- Returning to the Trailblazer's POV...
- When you have a chance to make a choice, make one that you know you won't regret.
Continue forward deeper into the Great Tomb[]
- Mission DescriptionBeneath the layered mountains lies the great tomb of the nameless Titan. Here, myth has been stripped away, revealing the unadorned workings of the "Scepter."
Evernight must be close. Keep moving.
- (Upon returning to Trailblazer's POV)
- Dan Heng: I thought Evernight would have done something to stop us, but it's been smooth sailing the whole way through.
- (Approach the marked location)
- Dan Heng: Are you ready, (Trailblazer)? I'm going to open this door.
- What's behind the door?
- Dan Heng: Absolute silence. I can't sense anything at all.
- Be careful. This could be a trap.
- Dan Heng: I know. Duck behind me if anything happens, okay?
- I'm ready.
- Dan Heng: Three... Two... One...
- Scepter δ-me13: >>> Warning: Object does not have access permission.
- A safety protocol... I saw it in the Exomyth too.
- Dan Heng: That means we're in the right place.
- We don't have permission. Looks like it's brute-force time.
- Dan Heng: The Scepter moved to block us. That means we're in the right place.
- What? Did I touch something I shouldn't have?
- Dan Heng: It's got nothing to do with you. That's the Scepter's safety protocol. It means we're in the right place.
- Scepter δ-me13: ███ ████ █████ █████ ██████████
- Dan Heng: Get ready. Incoming—
- ???: >>> █ Welcome back███(Trailblazer)███
- Dan Heng: What...?
- ???: >>> ▇▇I'll be ▇▇▇▇waiting for you ▇▇▇▇▇
- Dan Heng: It mentioned... your name?
- What it said... sounds so familiar...
- (Trailblazer): (I'm getting a feeling of déjà vu...)
- Seems like the threat is gone...
- (Trailblazer): (Also, I'm getting a feeling of déjà vu...)
- Someone's helping us out from the shadows?
- (Trailblazer): (Also, I'm getting a feeling of déjà vu...)
- (Trailblazer): (...Like the first time I opened As I've Written.)
- (Trailblazer): (Thankfully Evernight didn't take that book... Let's try using it.)
- (Take out As I've Written...)
- Scepter δ-me13: >>> Operation authorized, protocol name "███████"
- Dan Heng: The seal's gone. Didn't think this book would have a use here...
- (Upon walking through the gate)
- Dan Heng: Hmm...?
- Dan Heng: Is that...
- (Approach Ripples of Past Reverie)
- ???: ...
- ???: Hi, miss me yet?
- Cyrene? What are you doing here?
- Of course I missed you. Where have you been all this time?
- I didn't miss you. I never think about these things.
- ???: I'm just messing with you. This is the first time "I" have met you...
- Scepter δ-me13: >>> Executing Protocol λ003-097: Format object.
- Scepter δ-me13: >>> Formatting progress: 0.015%...
- ???: ...And it looks like it'll also be the last.
- Dan Heng: Something's wrong. She's not talking to us. She's not the "Mem" you know...
- Dan Heng: Could she be a... "Cyrene from the past"?
- Scepter δ-me13: >>> Formatting progress: 23.815%...
- Ripples of Past Reverie: ...
- Ripples of Past Reverie: Since we don't have all day, let's get started, shall we?
- Ripples of Past Reverie: As always, I'll read this book to you.
- Ripples of Past Reverie: That way, it won't just be "Cyrene's" memories alone.
- Scepter δ-me13: >>> Formatting progress: 45.147%...
- Ripples of Past Reverie: Where should I start this time? Lemme see...
- Ripples of Past Reverie: There. Shall we start with the meeting between...
- Ripples of Past Reverie: The "Helkolithist Sage" Mydeimos and the "King's Aegis" Anaksa?
- Scepter δ-me13: >>> Formatting complete.
- Dan Heng: ...
- Dan Heng: Did you hear that? She just said...
- Mydei the Sage? And... "Anaksa"?
- All the Cyrenes from the past should have died long ago...
- There's no one else here. Who's she speaking to?
- Dan Heng: This is obviously not the history we know. It might be one of the possibilities in the thirty million cycles, but...
- Dan Heng: Cyrene should have died at the start of every recurrence, so why is she here? And who was she talking to?
- Dan Heng: And that book she mentioned...
- Is it As I've Written?
- Dan Heng: That's very likely. That door reacted to the book as well.
- Dan Heng: Let's try copying what she did.
- (Take out As I've Written...)
- Scepter δ-me13: >>> Accessing: Recurrence #33550337—
- Scepter δ-me13: >>> Access failed. Error code: γ-13
- Dan Heng: That's it. As I've Written... is definitely connected with this great tomb.
- But the access failed...
- Did it say... "recurrence"?
- Dan Heng: Probably referring to the Eternal Recurrences. It also proves the previous hypothesis that this place is outside of Amphoreus's cycles.
- Do all these runes represent Titans?
- Dan Heng: ...
- Dan Heng: There are twelve chapters in As I've Written, corresponding to the twelve demigods.
- Dan Heng: Maybe the Nameless Recollections match these runes. Let's try linking them first.

- Dan Heng: I see. This As I've Written book...
- Dan Heng: Is a data terminal that has been modified by the Remembrance.
- Dan Heng: It might have looked like Cyrene was reading a story, but she was actually carrying out a "data transfer."
- Is that... even possible?
- Who's on the receiving end?
- Dan Heng: It's probably the entity deep within this tomb. The details... aren't clear yet.
- So it's actually a portable hard drive...
- Dan Heng: Right. That's a more direct way to think about it.
- Dan Heng: No wonder these facilities are reacting to it. This book is a "key."
- Dan Heng: But Cyrene could never have known about the truth regarding the Scepter. So where did she get this key...?
- From Lygus?
- Dan Heng: "Zandar" likely has nothing to do with this tomb.
- From Aedes Elysiae?
- Dan Heng: The oracle cards in Cyrene's memories do resemble the book...
- Dan Heng: But their external appearances are not exactly the same.
- From beyond this world?
- Dan Heng: ...
- Dan Heng: Do you remember? During her brief existence, Cyrene once encountered a certain Aeon.
- Cyrene: Yeah. So, I can only place my hopes on that childhood dream...
- Cyrene: And the god behind Oronyx that appeared in that dream.
- Dan Heng: It's no secret that Oronyx and Fuli are related. That Aeon also appeared when you encountered Mem.
- Dan Heng: We still don't know the role THEY play in Amphoreus, but if Cyrene accidentally stepped onto the Path of Remembrance, then her "sacrifice" wasn't just for resetting the cycle. There was another purpose...

- Ripples of Past Reverie: It's okay. I get it. It's just trying to remind me how precious time is.
- Ripples of Past Reverie: I want to share a story with you this time. I saw a little nymph on my way here. It was on a fallen wheat stalk, and it glowed under the sunlight.
- Ripples of Past Reverie: It was incredible. I forgot all my pains at that moment and just... stared at it in a trance.
- Ripples of Past Reverie: I wonder... did every "Cyrene" in the past feel that the nymph was beautiful?
- Ripples of Past Reverie: Would they also have recorded that scene into the eternal saga?
- Ripples of Past Reverie: So... could you give me more time, please? I want to leave behind more "memories" for the "future"...
- Scepter δ-me13: >>> Formatting complete.
- Dan Heng: As I expected. The answer is the Remembrance.
- Dan Heng: An Aeon appearing in her dreams, Three Paths intertwining in Amphoreus, and the Garden trying to infiltrate this world at all costs...
- Dan Heng: I have reasons to suspect that Fuli's gaze once swept over this world before the Scepter completely fell into Destruction.
- Dan Heng: And that Cyrene basked in that divine gaze.
- THEY knew what was going on, yet still allowed the Destruction to thrive?
- Dan Heng: Humanity cannot judge Aeons based on our own common knowledge. The Remembrance has always been an observer of the universe ever since THEIR birth.
- But the Garden knew nothing about her.
- Dan Heng: That's to be expected. The various factions are only followers of their Aeons, and Fuli was never known to be friendly with humanity.
- Dan Heng: But there's still something I don't understand: According to Black Swan, the Garden is internally fractured, and there is a party that craves the "Memory of an Aeon's Fall." They would do anything to achieve that goal.
- Dan Heng: Yet I feel as though those Memosnatchers didn't try to stop us at all. Instead, it feels like they were trying to cover something up.
- Would basking in an Aeon's gaze turn someone into an Emanator?
- Dan Heng: Most of the time, a gaze is simply a natural phenomenon, though some pathstriders regard it as a supreme honor. An Emanator, however, must possess power granted by an Aeon's blessing.
- Dan Heng: I know what you're thinking. That theoretical Emanator of Remembrance remains a mystery, but now I'm leaning towards the idea that what the Garden's mirror reflected... was a kind of "miracle" that Fuli left behind.
- So Cyrene's thirty million sacrifices...
- Dan Heng: Yes. We're thinking the same thing.
- Dan Heng: Legend says that Fuli sits in meditation in the Anāsrava pure land, spreading the seeds of Remembrance across the universe. And when the cosmos ends, all the different realms will be reborn in THEIR garden.
- Dan Heng: If this sealed-off world is also within THEIR gaze, then it's not too big of a stretch to surmise that THEY need a mechanism to save these incredible amounts of memories, and store them somewhere out of the Erudition's sight.
- Dan Heng: This mechanism was previously the Time Titan and their demigod, but after Amphoreus entered an endless loop...
- Time's divine authority stood empty.
- Cyrene acted on their behalf instead?
- "As I've Written" became the Remembrance's medium...
- Dan Heng: ...
- Dan Heng: ...It's that ceremonial blade.
- Cyrene: Now, I can say with certainty: "Time" is the page on which that Aeon records Amphoreus. If it fades from existence and all that it records is lost among the stars, that Aeon will surely direct THEIR gaze here...
- Cyrene: And it will be a glance that spans time and space, transforming each incarnation of me into the power you shall wield to reset time — imbuing my soul into this ceremonial blade, and creating an endless Flame-Chase Journey.
- Dan Heng: The ceremonial blade "killed" Cyrene at the start of every recurrence. And at the end of every journey, Cyrene's "soul" took the extrapolated memories stored within the blade and buried them in this great tomb.
- Dan Heng: That's how the "memories" of Amphoreus transcended the loop and were continuously stored, while the Scepter had to revert its progress over and over again, because of loss in its logic.
- Dan Heng: Fuli's blessing will not disappear as long as this process keeps going.
- Ripples of Past Reverie: "I knew THEIR gaze never left."
- Ripples of Past Reverie: "As long as I record every page of this story and tell it to you..."
- Ripples of Past Reverie: "Amphoreus won't be forgotten."
- Dan Heng: ...
- Dan Heng: Cyrene encountered the Aeon's gaze and regarded THEM as the hope to continue her world. That's why she offered THEM "memories" over and over, even if she had to turn herself into nothingness every time.
- Dan Heng: As to why she insisted on keeping her human form and offering the memories through "reading a story"...
- Dan Heng: It might have been the only way for her to maintain her sense of humanity and leave her mark in this world.
- Dan Heng: Even though everything was just her wishful thinking—
- It's not wishful thinking.
- We will witness those memories.
- It's time to keep going...

- Dan Heng: Maybe she's talking to her imagination? A hero "within"? But that wouldn't explain the "process error"...
- Dan Heng: ...
- Dan Heng: No matter who that "listener" is, Cyrene's storytelling is just a data stream for the Scepter.

- "Evernight": "Those who are lost remain lost, while those who have met will meet again."
- "Evernight": What a touching scene. The deepest place in this world is exactly the ideal location for the Trailblaze to reunite.
- Dan Heng: You're not the one we want to reunite with, "Evernight."
- Dan Heng: But you'd better explain everything to us: this tomb, and the "Thirteenth Titan"...
- Dan Heng: ...Tell us everything you know.
- "Evernight": You're too on edge, Dan Heng. I've always been honest with the two of you.
- "Evernight": Before we talk about Amphoreus's destiny, why don't we lay aside our differences...
- "Evernight": And take a moment together to mourn for the cruel "truth"?
- Dan Heng: "Truth"...?
- "Evernight": So you still haven't figured it out.
- "Evernight": Take another moment to look around. Look closely. You must be curious as to where the final Titan is located, right?
- "Evernight": What a good question that is. I, too, am curious...
- "Evernight": Because there is absolutely nothing here, except a cold, empty void!
- Black Swan: You mean... Cyrene was deceived.
- "Evernight": Indeed. Fuli planted a false hope in her heart, making her believe that she was special and that Amphoreus still had a chance.
- "Evernight": Then, that poor girl walked into the great tomb over and over again and willingly offered herself to the Remembrance.
- Black Swan: Why did THEY do that?
- "Evernight": Did you really think THEY would just save this crumbling world in the way Cyrene was praying for?
- "Evernight": Don't be naive, Memokeeper. In this game between Gods...
- "Evernight": The Remembrance chose to stand with the Destruction.
- Black Swan: Given your evident hostility towards the Garden, I find it hard to take anything you say at face value.
- "Evernight": Aren't the Memosnatchers' activities enough evidence? They did everything they could to help Irontomb reach completion, and it wasn't just to obtain some fanciful memories. Let me tell you the real reason...
- "Evernight": Irontomb is a perfect ark. If a seed can be planted within, then the moment the Lord Ravager blows the Erudition to pieces, the Remembrance will be spread to every corner of the cosmos.
- "Evernight": That masterless Path will be equally split between two Aeons. Fuli... will devour the Erudition.
- Black Swan: ...
- "Evernight": Do you understand now? The war among Aeons started long ago.
- "Evernight": Fuli did not glance this way to save Amphoreus. THEY will drain this world dry and turn it into a most poignant and tragic poem.
- "Evernight": But fortunately, that girl's sacrifices won't be wasted. I will give her another possibility.
- "Evernight": I promised (Trailblazer) that I would re-create the cause and effect of this world, and form a flawless Amphoreus.
- "Evernight": But the only way for a world that can't be turned back to be considered "flawless"...
- "Evernight": Is to burn it with a raging fire until nothing remains.
- Black Swan: You plan to... destroy all the "memories" Cyrene has ever recorded?
- "Evernight": That's right. I'll set fire to all the stories, all the emotions, all the futility... I'll turn the Garden's conspiracy to dust.
- "Evernight": Setting fire to this much material will be enough to completely annihilate the Scepter's operating logic. Irontomb will lose the soil upon which it grows, and Amphoreus... will be truly set free.
- Black Swan: The "freedom" you speak of is no different from Destruction. Everything this world ever was will disappear from the extrapolations, never to be regained.
- Black Swan: That would also include your "memories," by the way.
- "Evernight": That's right. That's why I needed your help, little bird. The more we walked together, the more I was convinced...
- "Evernight": ...That you have a beautiful dharmakāya. It fits me very much.
- Black Swan: So that's why you took me here...
- Black Swan: Your true form... is a bottomless obsession.
- "Evernight": Smart girl. You haven't disappointed me.
- "Evernight": This avatar is but a shadow cast by the candlelight. Discarding it invokes no feelings within me. What I must preserve is only my "wish"...
- "Evernight": My wish to kill the Path of Remembrance.
- "Evernight": "March 7th" will not find peace as long as THEY and THEIR fanatical henchmen exist.
- "Evernight": The road ahead is still long, and she needs a guardian to stand by her side. You... are my best choice.
- Black Swan: Allow me to refuse. That duty seems far too heavy.
- "Evernight": Resistance is pointless, my darling birdie. I will personally plant myself into your heart. And once I've calmed down (Trailblazer) and Dan Heng...
- "Evernight": I will head into reality and find the "true you."
- Black Swan: So... That wasn't enough to fool you.
- "Evernight": A genius's mirror trick and a protective mechanism of the Erudition. Is that right?
- "Evernight": Those layers of security do make things a little difficult.
- Black Swan: But unfortunately, those two Nameless are already right outside the door. Your plan... is about to encounter a few mishaps.
- Black Swan: Until we meet again, Miss "Evernight."
- "Evernight": Will you still not stand with me, my companions? We'll save the beautiful cosmos, and we won't leave even a single scar behind.
- We are confident that we can defeat Irontomb.
- "Evernight": Perhaps you can. But what will that cost?
- Amphoreus should not be discarded.
- I'll never agree to your means!
- I'm not your companion! Give March 7th back to us!
- "Evernight": Don't get caught up in your emotions, my dear (Trailblazer). The Hero's Journey in this world is just a narrative embellished with "memories."
- "Evernight": Its essence is nothing but a string of zeros and ones.
- "Evernight": For your own sake, and for the sake of "March 7th," I think my choice is a very reasonable one.
- "Evernight": Come. I hold the Coreflame of Worldbearing. Just fall asleep, and we'll save the cosmos.
- Dan Heng: If you honestly thought we would agree with you...
- Dan Heng: That just proves you don't understand March 7th at all.
- "Evernight": ...
- "Evernight": Seems like I really can't get along with people like you do...
- "Evernight": But in order to make sure you can still embrace tomorrow and continue this carefree journey...
- "Evernight": Some "memories"... must be set on fire as the sacrifice ♭
- (Cutscene begins)
-
- "Evernight": What can change a person's nature?
- "Evernight": Is it "memories"?
- "Evernight": Unfortunately...
- "Evernight": The result is just the opposite.
- (Cutscene ends)
- (Enter battle against Ichor Memosprite: Judge of Oblivion ×1)
-
- "Evernight": "If a new life is to be born, its seed has to be dead."
- "Evernight": Only through abandonment and "Oblivion"... can souls walk from emptiness towards rebirth.
- (After the battle)
- Dan Heng: It's time to end this.
- Dan Heng: Return "March 7th" to us and end this pointless conflict.
- "Evernight": ...
- How long are you going to stand there and watch?
- The Nameless always fight their own battles.
- "Evernight": Don't get the wrong idea. I just need some time to deal with some unnecessary trouble...
- "Evernight": The encryption key written by those geniuses is already invalid♭
- "Evernight": How about we play a game, dear (Trailblazer)?
- "Evernight": Don't worry. It won't take long. It's a simple multi-choice question. A? Or B?
- "Evernight": I understand it's too difficult for you to treat the Chrysos Heirs as extrapolated data. Then, why don't we assume for now that they're living, breathing humans...
- "Evernight": Now, the cosmos will face an unprecedented catastrophe, and your choice will determine the fate of countless planets.
- "Evernight": On the one side are companions who've weathered every storm with you. They fought with everything they've got and obtained a 1% chance of victory. However, should you choose that 1%, there'll be massive sacrifices no matter the outcome.
- "Evernight": On the other side, there's a simple button: The "Oblivion" will burn away all traces of their existence, as well as your entire memory of this trip. But it will also halt the brewing catastrophe, and spare the universe from Destruction.
- "Evernight": Those who are to be sacrificed will be fully aware of the decision you need to make. There will be no concealment or deception...
- "Evernight": Tell me, what will you choose?
- Don't try to trick me with that trolley problem.
- Such an outdated theme. Not worth discussing!
- What makes it only 1%?
- You're twisting more than just one concept here.
- "Evernight": You're right. This choice is meaningless and unimportant. The only interesting thing...
- "Evernight": Is the number of people making that choice.
- "Evernight": I've just posed the same question to Dan Heng. The answer doesn't matter. Let me see... Is this Trailblaze spirit truly as unified as you all claim it to be?
- "Evernight": Now, why don't you prove it to me?
- Cyrene: Wait!
- (Trailblazer): Cyrene?
- Cyrene: Another "damsel-in-distress rescue"... plays out again!
- "Evernight": Still think you can do something, little pink memosprite?
- "Evernight": What weapons do you have to stand against me besides your somewhat witty words?
- Cyrene: Don't underestimate me! Besides my charm and eloquence I can—
- Cyrene: "—and stir up ripples of past reverie!"
- "Evernight": What...?
- Cyrene: We don't have time for endless chatter at crucial moments like this!
- Carelessness is your greatest weakness, Evernight.
- What are these memosprites?
- No holds barred. Awesome move!

- Cyrene: Quick, (Trailblazer)! Take this—
- Cyrene: Take the shot! I can't hold on much longer!
- Do I take a photo of you?
- Cyrene: Of course not! Take a photo... of Miss Evernight!
- Do I take a photo of her?
- Cyrene: M-Make sure you get the focus right!
- Cyrene: No time to explain. Quick!
- Cyrene: Well done, (Trailblazer)!
- Cyrene: Now leave the rest to "us"!
