Dialogue[]
Speak with Evernight[]
Mission DescriptionCome to think of it, Evernight has helped March 7th quite a lot... Whether she's friend or foe, perhaps the best way to find out is to talk face to face.
- "Evernight": ...
- "Evernight": This is... a Light Cone made from someone's "memories"...?
- "Evernight": Ah, and there's a harmony entwined within it.
- "Evernight": Hmm... Looks like someone's been busy behind my back.
- "Evernight": We meet again, naive "me."
- "March 7th": I know you mean that as a compliment...
- "March 7th": But as for the word "naive"... I think I'll give you that one back.
- Cyrene: Welcome to Aedes Elysiae, a small village shrouded by the Veil of Evernight. Now, this memory will also belong to you...
- Cyrene: Let's give you a taste of your own medicine. With my home as the inspiration, I've created this "maze"... Hope you like it, Miss Evernight.
- "Evernight": Quite perceptive, little memosprite. But with just you and that Harmony's little birdie... thinking you could trap me? That's a bit of a stretch.
- "Evernight": So, tell me, what role did "you" play in all of this?
- "March 7th": I really didn't think that... this other "me" would be THIS strong...
- "March 7th": But at least when it comes to brains, I've still got the edge! My brilliant plan? Bet you never saw it coming!
- "Evernight": ...
- "Evernight": Oh... you mean that time?
- "Evernight": In that split second when we switched bodies... with your last flicker of consciousness...
- "Evernight": You hid yourself within the Titan's veil.
- "March 7th": Huh? You got it already? No suspense at all?
- "March 7th": But my plan was super thought-out! I know (Trailblazer) and Dan Heng better than anyone. A promise is a promise for them. They never go back on their word!
-
- Dan Heng: ...
- Cyrene: History books, diaries, and photostones are all perfect catalysts for "memories."
- "March 7th": That's right! So when I hear (Trailblazer) press the shutter... even if there's just a teeny bit of my consciousness left...
- "March 7th": I'd "whoosh" right into the camera!
- Cyrene: But if you put it like that... Aren't you leaving a lot to chance?
- "March 7th": No way! (Trailblazer) will definitely be snapping away all over Amphoreus because (he/
she) promised me to take photos! I'm guaranteed to run into (him/ her) eventually. - Cyrene: True, you really know (him/
her) well. - Cyrene: Miss Evernight, let's be real, my amateur skills aren't enough to keep someone like you contained.
- Cyrene: But if "March 7th" were here, that would be a different story...
- Cyrene: Because there's no way for you to ignore her, right?
- "Evernight": ...
- "Evernight": Fine. Lay it on me then. After going on such a long detour, what exactly do you want to do now?
- "March 7th": First, I want to thank you for protecting (Trailblazer) and Dan Heng. But what you did later went way too far...
- "March 7th": So, while there's still time, I've got to make you change your mind!
- "Evernight": There IS something that truly puzzles me...
- "Evernight": How did you find yourself again after giving up all your "memories" and becoming an empty soul?
- "March 7th": Looks like you aren't so omnipotent or omniscient after all, huh?
- "March 7th": The answer is simple. "I" have been dozing inside the camera all along, and I accompanied (Trailblazer) during (his/
her) entire journey. - "March 7th": So when (he/
she) told Cyrene in this cycle about (his/ her) interstellar travels, those memories of journeying with the Express entered my mind as well... - "March 7th": I may still be far from the "complete March 7th"... but these "memories" were more than enough to fight you.
- "Evernight": ...Hah.
- "Evernight": So, you know what led up to this and what followed, right?
- "Evernight": Go ahead. Tell me. Let's hear why you're so confident you can sway me.
- "March 7th": Why? Isn't the reason super obvious?
- "March 7th": Even through a camera lens, I know that the love, hate, and struggles that happened in Amphoreus were the same as what real living people experience.
- "Evernight": Same old topic. I already got (Trailblazer) to make a choice.
- "Evernight": The weights on each side of the scale are far too unequal. When Destruction looms, trying to preserve everything... only means sacrificing everything.
- "March 7th": Well, take a step back. Before we ask this question...
- "March 7th": Have you ever really thought about it? What right do we really have... to make choices for others?
- "March 7th": If the cosmos were nothing more than a bigger Okhema, ruled by a so-called "Imperator"... maybe then she'd have the right to weigh both sides and decide for us all.
- "March 7th": But the truth is... We're just a bunch of Nameless.
- "March 7th": Even with everyone calling (him/
her) "Deliverer," I believe that (Trailblazer) hasn't forgotten... - "March 7th": That the meaning of Trailblaze is to "explore, understand, establish, and connect." It's not about standing above the cosmos as some kind of savior. It's about walking alongside every world within it.
- "Evernight": ...
- "March 7th": So don't try to guilt-trip me with stuff like "necessary sacrifices." The Express Crew is immune to these baseless accusations!
- "March 7th": Besides — and this is just an example — if Madam Herta wanted to, she could have whipped out her Imaginary weapon any time and blasted this "Scepter" to bits.
- "March 7th": Because, according to your logic, the lives of a few Nameless are nothing compared to a Lord Ravager's potential threat.
- "March 7th": But that's not what she did. You wouldn't have liked it either, would you? I figured you out a long time ago... you've got a fatal flaw.
- "March 7th": A weakness in the shape of "me."
- "March 7th": You've got such incredible powers, but you still kept your promise to me. That only means...
- "March 7th": The "sole motivation" behind everything you do was just so "I" can keep travelling.
- "Evernight": Hah...
- "Evernight": You're... not as naive as you seem, are you?
- "March 7th": In that case, I can prove it to you.
- "March 7th": I won't answer for someone else, but for "myself."
- "March 7th": Here, hold this.
- "Evernight": An empty spirit...
- "March 7th": If you want to seriously think about it, this thing actually counts as my body right now.
- "March 7th": Its memories are all drawn from the camera's photos, in other words, from my journey of Trailblazing.
- "March 7th": While I was awake, you were always sleeping, so talking about this probably doesn't feel real to you...
- "March 7th": So, why don't I walk you through these memories all over again?
- "Evernight": The spirit... turned into a journal?
- "March 7th": Yep. That's what "memories" are.
- "March 7th": You don't know where they are, and you don't know what you actually remember. But when you need them most, the forces that have once changed your soul...
- "March 7th": Are guaranteed to appear again.
- Astral Express, the night before warping to Xianzhou Luofu...
- March 7th: So, (Trailblazer)? How was your first Trailblaze journey?
- (Trailblazer): ...
- (Trailblazer): It was very fun.
- Dan Heng: We should still be careful in the future.
- March 7th: Oh come on, Dan Heng, we're here to celebrate for (Trailblazer) tonight. Don't be such a buzzkill!
- March 7th: Don't listen to him. Listen, I am practically a "Trailblaze" expert. Stick with me, and you'll be just fine~
- Dan Heng: You call this trip "fine"?
- March 7th: W-well, that's because we could only find 700-year-old guides online!
- (Trailblazer): So... you've been to a lot of places before?
- March 7th: You bet! Capital of Passion, Kalsas, Taikiyan... If I count on my hand, it looks like this is my sixth stop.
- March 7th: All my souvenirs are in my room, but they're just... a bit of a mess right now. I'll tidy up later and give you the grand tour!
- March 7th: Look at this. A Belobogian notebook, a special souvenir I asked Bronya for!
- March 7th: She prepared quite a few gifts for us! Raw Geomarrow, Supreme Guardian medals... but I only asked for this little notebook.
- (Trailblazer): What's so special about it?
- March 7th: The previous Trailblaze missions were all on super high-tech worlds. Forget about paper books. Even holographic projections were ancient relics there.
- March 7th: Jarilo is completely different. Watching people record their lives with pen and paper... I finally understood why some still cherish writing journals by hand.
- Dan Heng: It's just like "calligraphy." Those deep emotions buried in human hearts can only be awakened through such seemingly thankless actions.
- March 7th: Dan Heng... you truly embody both a fierce beast and a delicate rose!
- March 7th: Anyways, that's what I thought too. A camera can only capture fleeting moments, but stitching those moments into a story? You've gotta use your own hands...
- March 7th: In other words, just taking photos isn't enough. They need a place to be displayed!
- (Trailblazer): Isn't the photo wall enough?
- March 7th: I told you it's different! Besides, this little notebook is a memento of our first Trailblaze together with (Trailblazer)! That makes it even more special.
- March 7th: Anyways, the next stop is the legendary Planet of Festivities, Penacony...
- March 7th: So when we get there, I'll make sure we take tons of pictures together, until the memory card's bursting!
- Dan Heng: Fine by me.
- March 7th: And one more thing. If I'm ever too busy to get off at a stop, this camera is gonna be in your hands.
- March 7th: I don't want to miss a single "Trailblaze." So you all need to practice your photography skills until you're at least 80% as good as me, got it?
- "March 7th": Back then, I was only half-joking. I never thought I'd actually miss out... and after just two stops, too.
- "March 7th": Those 97 days alone had me on edge. I honestly thought that was gonna be it for me...
- "March 7th": Thankfully, with my quick thinking and sharp planning, I managed to keep up with (Trailblazer) and Dan Heng.
- "Evernight": By hiding in the camera?
- "March 7th": So what? That's still "Trailblazing"!
- "March 7th": "The camera is my true form" That might've been a joke, but it came true this time!
- "March 7th": Well, yeah, it was super inconvenient. I couldn't help them when they were in danger, couldn't complain when they talked total nonsense... and watching (Trailblazer) snap a terrible photo? I couldn't even control the shutter!
- "March 7th": But I stuck with them all the way, til where we are now...
- File:Trailblaze Mission Reunion, Promise of Tears and Smiles 5
- "March 7th": Together with them, I got to know this beautiful yet dying world. I claimed our first Coreflame on the Flame-Chase Journey.
- "March 7th": I met new companions, then bid them farewell.
- File:Trailblaze Mission Reunion, Promise of Tears and Smiles 6 Caelus.png
- "March 7th": I inherited everyone's determination, carrying it forward into the future they fought for, one they can never see.
- "March 7th": Until my destiny becomes one with this world's, rewriting the predestined tragic ending and returning to the true starry skies together with everyone.
- "March 7th": Only then can I pen the name "March 7th"...
- "March 7th": Into this Hero's Journey called "Amphoreus"... Into this unprecedented Trailblaze!
- 33,550,336th eternal recurrence, Light Calendar 4932...
- Sometime before the campaign against Aquila...
- Dan Heng: Looks like our Trailblaze in Amphoreus is coming to an end.
- (Trailblazer): While we still have time, shall we pick out some materials for March's journal?
- (Trailblazer): Aha! No way we're skipping this one.
- Dan Heng: Huh... when did you take this? Wasn't the storage card full?
- (Trailblazer): I still had my phone! Scared now, Dan Heng the "Seal Head"? The first seed competitor with the ghost seal in the super-duper fun "Seal Slammers"?
- Dan Heng: ...I'm against including this photo, but suit yourself. I just think that a travel journal should mainly focus on documenting local customs and culture.
- Dan Heng: Okhema, Castrum Kremnos, the Grove... these shots are all pretty great. I have to say, your skills are almost on par with March's now.
- (Trailblazer): That's how awesome I am! Oh right, how about this one: The Veil of Evernight, Oronyx, the Titan lurking behind the mist... Pretty epic, right?
- Dan Heng: Is that actual mist... or just motion blur from your shaky hands?
- (Trailblazer): Hey, that was a super tense moment! I only had the chance to take a quick one. We're lucky to have anything at all!
- "March 7th": ...
- (Trailblazer): Huh...?
- (Trailblazer): Did you... hear something?
- Dan Heng: ...March 7th?
- Dan Heng: Perhaps the photo captured a trace of Time's divine power, which replayed echoes from your memories.
- (Trailblazer): Uh... alright then. Let's keep going...
- (Trailblazer): If March were here, she'd definitely have plenty of great ideas.
- Dan Heng: Hmm...
- "March 7th": They went back and forth like that, discussing for hours.
- "March 7th": It was like they were arguing about which game to play, how to sneak midnight snacks from the dining car without Pom-Pom noticing, or who was gonna wash Miss Himeko's coffee cup, just like every other night on the Express.
- "March 7th": They've always been by my side. No one knows about my forgotten past, but no one holds it against me. That's because...
- Dan Heng: We can't go back to the past and make better choices.
- (Trailblazer): But at least we can do better in the future.
- "March 7th": Isn't that right?
- "Evernight": ...
- "Evernight": I still remember the day when you first put on these clothes and looked in the mirror.
- "Evernight": Your eyes were so clear. When all this is over, I hope the mirror can still reflect those same eyes.
- "March 7th": You're pretty naive, too. Always hoping that the mirror will show the most beautiful side...
- "March 7th": But you don't even trust the you reflected in the mirror, and if you keep trying to shoulder everything for me... then I'll actually end up as a wallflower, waiting forever for my turn!
- "Evernight": ...
- "Evernight": Yes. I get it, March 7th.
- "Evernight": I only have "your" memories, and you... have always been the "me" that I wanted the world to see.
- "March 7th": Just hearing those words from you makes me feel super satisfied.
- "March 7th": Well, I've appealed to your emotions. As for reasoning with logic...
- "March 7th": Could you help us out here, Cyrene?
- Cyrene: I'm here~ Finally my turn to shine, isn't it?
- Cyrene: Miss Evernight, you've been so fixated on your target that you probably haven't even realized...
- Cyrene: That a massive variable has emerged in Amphoreus in this cycle.
- Cerydra: Amphoreus is about to be destroyed. There's no time left for pointless debates.
- Cerydra: There is only one law I want to overturn to aid the final battle of deliverance, so I will only offer the life of one demigod...
- Cyrene: The Imperator added one extra rule to the final Era Nova at the cost of her life. That's how she can ensure Amphoreus doesn't become a sacrifice in the cosmic conflict.
- Cyrene: Even if this world has to exist in the form of Irontomb, it will stand on its own among the stars, just as she had wanted.
- "Evernight": ...Oh? Interesting. What does she want to do?
- Cyrene: Simple. "If any anomaly occurs during the Era Nova process, all foreign elements will be eliminated immediately — whether it's the Remembrance or the Trailblaze — and the twelve Coreflames will complete the final Era Nova through the purest form of Destruction."
- "Evernight": A daring wager indeed... That ruthless Imperator. Could she have already sensed that the Remembrance was plotting in the shadows?
- Cyrene: No. You managed to fool everyone. There's no way she could have known your plan. Modifying this law was just a precaution, to prevent the Astral Express and the geniuses from betraying Amphoreus after her downfall.
- Cyrene: But if you insist on doing this right now, then the cosmos will undoubtedly face the worst possible outcome...
- Cyrene: (Trailblazer), Dan Heng, and March 7th will all merge with the Scepter and become a victim of the Destruction.
- "Evernight": Hah...
- "Evernight": You... knew all along?
- "March 7th": Yep. But I decided I needed to have a heart-to-heart with you first.
- "March 7th": I won't be afraid, even if my inner world is nothing but an "evernight."
- "March 7th": That's because my journey's destination lies among the stars. I believe what lies ahead will be bright enough to illuminate my past.
- "March 7th": Thank you for your... coddling, but please trust me and leave it to me. Both my past and that obsessive "Oblivion"....
- "March 7th": Will help me become even stronger than (Trailblazer) and Dan Heng!
- "Evernight": I'm sorry for becoming an obstacle in your journey.
- "March 7th": Don't apologize, Evernight.
- "March 7th": We're just two sides reflected by the same mirror, aren't we?
- "March 7th": So when we bid farewell to our division and become one...
- March 7th: Our "memories" will only grow more beautiful.
Head to the waterfront to find March 7th[]
- Step DescriptionWhat will happen to March... Who's really sitting there? Is it March, or Evernight?
- Dan Heng: Many thanks, Mr. Sunday.
- Dan Heng: Are they... in this Memory Zone?
- We should trust March 7th and Cyrene.
- Dan Heng: Yes, but we can't let our guard down.
- We absolutely can't let our guard down.
- Dan Heng: Yes. Let's trust March 7th and Cyrene.
- Dan Heng: Let's go find them.
- (When walking past the shed)
- Dan Heng: It's unusually quiet here...
- (When walking onto the dock)
- (Trailblazer): March 7th isn't here...
- (Approach Evernight)
- "Evernight"?: ...
- Dan Heng: Get ready. We can't give her any chance this time...
- (Trailblazer): Three of a kind...
- Dan Heng: Two pair...
- (Trailblazer): Ace...
- "Evernight"?: Ace?
- (Cutscene begins)
-
- Dan Heng: March?
- March 7th: Of course it's me.
- March 7th: It's been a while.
- The Trailblazer runs and gives March 7th a hug, with Dan Heng following to join them in a group hug.
- (Trailblazer): Welcome home, March.
- March 7th: Mmm. I'm back.
- (Cutscene ends)
- March 7th: Finally...
- March 7th: Finally... I can talk to you all at last!
- You were the one who protected us...
- Dan Heng: You saved us, March.
- March 7th: Really? That's... that's wonderful.
- Evernight... she's gone?
- March 7th: She... has returned to her slumber in the evernight.
- Dan Heng: You protected us, March.
- Don't cry, or I'll have to start telling jokes.
- March 7th: How can I possibly hold back my tears at a time like this!?
- Dan Heng: You protected us, March.
- March 7th: I had so many ideas for our reunion. I was gonna sneak up from behind you when you weren't looking, tap you both on the shoulder, then flick you each on the head...
- March 7th: And shout: "What took you so long to find me! Don't you know how to move faster?"
- One way or another, we will always find our way back to each other.
- March 7th: Stop being so serious...!
- But... we were here first... *sniff*...
- March 7th: Y-you too?! If this keeps up... I... I won't be able to stop crying!
- March 7th: I'm... I'm just so happy...
- Dan Heng: (Trailblazer) and I both know that... you've been by our side this whole time.
- Dan Heng: This Trailblaze journey wouldn't be complete without you.
- (Trailblazer): We'll not only Trailblaze into the future together and save the world...
- (Trailblazer): We'll also return to the Express together and head towards our next destination.
- March 7th: Mm-hmm. After we complete this Trailblaze, let's hold hands and head home together!
- "Evernight": ...
- "Evernight": "If a new life is to be born, its seed has to be dead"...
- "Evernight": March 7th... When you bid farewell to your past and are born from the Six-Phased Ice...
- "Evernight": Have you thought about the version of yourself you want to see in the mirror?
- "Evernight": As of now, I have no intention of making choices for you. You've already decided on your next destination. So, let me exercise "Oblivion" one last time...
- "Evernight": And wipe the name "Pure Child of Anāsrava" from your mind.
- "Evernight": I am an obsession whose purpose is to protect you. The only memories I have are "yours."
- "Evernight": Therefore, there's only one thing I can be sure of: The Garden of Recollection is your enemy.
- "Evernight": The Path of Remembrance is far more than what people observe on its surface, and I...
- "Evernight": Will not allow you to become this broken conspiracy's next sacrifice.
- "Evernight": If you ever need me again, feel free to awaken "my" power. And when the time comes, don't hesitate to devour or burn away anything that stands in your way.
- "Evernight": Then Trailblaze through the darkness in my stead... as always.
- "Evernight": "Oblivion" shall keep watch over your past, veiled in the hush of the evernight, silent and serene. ♭
