AideenOh, (Mr./Miss) (Trailblazer), my dearest festive superstar, how have you been recently? Your performance at the venue was so spectacular. It broke our festival's viewership record that endured for half an Amber Era!As a token of our admiration, we've prepared a special gift for youUnfortunately, this gift just caused an incident, and we really need your help. Do you have time to come along?I'll come right along
Gifts!Hold on. I'm coming!I'll have to decline thenAn incident?Sounds dangerous, I don't want it thenPlease don't worry. It was just an insignificant accidentI'll be at the Scorchsand Live Studio awaiting your arrivalAccepted MissionScorchsand Vacation
Talk to Aideen[]
- Mission DescriptionAideen has prepared a custom gift for you, but an accident has transpired. Go and speak with him.
Mission Description
- (Talk to Aideen)
- Aideen: (Mister/
Miss) (Trailblazer), you've finally arrived. - What happened?
- Where is the gift?
- Aideen: Patience, please. I'll explain everything in detail.
- Aideen: Here's what happened — To recreate your heroic performance in the competition, we have asked a cosmically-renowned artist to make a film dedicated to your name.
- Aideen: Just like a dream bubble, this film stores the memories related to the Scorchsand Festival. But during the review process, a staff member got lost in the film...
- Oh, no! Spooky!
- Aideen: Ain't that right? So many shenanigans in dreams.
- Is this a prank?
- Aideen: Maybe, but from what I've heard, that artist is quite the eccentric character. Perhaps they embedded some shenanigans in the dream.
- Serves you right. You lot didn't ask my consent first for all of this.
- Aideen: Well... It was all precautionary measures taken for your personal safety. Ever since that one time when the arena almost got blown up to smithereens by a suspicious package, The Family has explicitly demanded all items to be thoroughly inspected before they are allowed entry into the dreamscape. Please understand.
- Aideen: This film is dedicated to you. Perhaps only you can save that staff member...
- Aideen: That film tape is on the sofa. O, our heroic Festive Superstar, we are all counting on you.
What happened?- (Talk to Aideen again, optional)
- Aideen: This film is dedicated to you. Perhaps only you are capable of solving this mystery and saving that staff member.
- Aideen: That film tape is on the sofa. O, our heroic Festive Superstar, please save us.
Investigate the strange videotape[]
- Step DescriptionA videotape that can make someone disappear. What might happen if one touches it?
- (Touch the videotape)
- A gleaming tape, metallic in its luster, adorned with a peculiar design on its cover — like some kind of amphibian's eye, fixated upon you.
- As you gaze into the eye, peculiar whispers reach your ears...
- *croak* *croak* *croak* It was the sound of a frog.
- Touch the tape
- The strange eye blink thrice — no doubt, you saw it right, three blinks.
- Your head spins, as ripples cascade from the unraveling tape, transforming this place into an enchanting pool...
- ???: "Reality is a dream trapped in a cage, our destiny cannot be rewound. To propel the plot of life, one must constantly choose, only to be bound by their own choices, with no right to regret."
- ???: "But films are untamed dreams, predeterminded destinies can be freely stitched together, reconstructed, and replayed. In the films, prisoners of reality find solace, mending regrets between frames."
- ???: "(Trailblazer), my dear protagonist, thank you for your performance in this not-yet-finished art piece..."
- Warning: Non-protagonist actors who trespass on the scene will be demoted to nameless "supporting characters" and will unfortunately not be given any more scenes.

(Leave)Farewell Firefly[]
- Step DescriptionThe movie has begun. The other protagonist seems to be waiting for you ahead.
- Firefly: (Trailblazer), where were you just now? Time is of the essence. Please don't just run about.
- What's happening?
- Firefly: Why the sudden confusion? Stay sharp, we must pass the Festivity Auditions and enter the Penacony Grand Theater as soon as possible!
- Are you really Firefly?
- Firefly: Huh? Of course, why do you ask?
- Firefly: Get yourself together. We need to pass the Festivity Auditions and enter the Penacony Grand Theater as soon as possible!
- So, this is a memory film...
- Firefly: Memory? What do you mean? Now is not the time to reminisce about the past!
- Firefly: Get yourself together. We need to pass the Festivity Auditions and enter the Penacony Grand Theater as soon as possible!

- Firefly: He was right, we need to fill up first before taking on this final challenge. This time it's on me!
- Thanks. That's very nice of you.
- Firefly: Here you go, don't mention it. I'm not entirely sure if you'll like it.
- Let me treat you this time!

Dreamplay Fantasia: Action Challenge[]
Learn about the challenge from the guide[]
- Step DescriptionThe first choice! Firefly and you arrive at the stage for Dreamplay Fantasia: Action Challenge.
According to the guide, you'll face the trial of "action" here...
You can't possibly be more familiar with "action" — However, in a world where no one can jump, can you really perform real "action"?
- Announcement: The champion's crown awaits you on the stage! Welcome to the arena of Action Stars!
- Announcement: Please make your way to the stage and vanquish those malevolent scoundrels with your dazzling fighting techniques! The title of Penacony's next big action star awaits you!
- (Approach marked location)
- Guide: Competitors, allow me to introduce the rules of this challenge to you.
- Guide: There are a total of three stages up ahead, each with their own challenges. The enemies you will contend against are antagonists from the film Once Upon a Time in Dreams. Defeat them swiftly and decisively to set a new record!
- Firefly: The School of Action... Looks like we just have to be ourselves...
Pass the first "School of Action" test[]
- (Approach marked location)
- Judge: Contestants, you are about to confront the monsters of the Primordial Dreamscape! During this period, Penacony was nothing but a barren wasteland — the Dreamscape was fraught with strife and disorder, with Memory Zone Memes running rampant!
- Judge: As Dreamchasers who've come to Penacony, defeating them is your first step towards success!
- Bubble Hound who's been forced to play a monster: Aoo — Woo — Woof woof woof! All the SoulGlad™ is ours! Don't even think about plundering the SoulGlad™ from us!
- I shall... set you ablaze![Note 1]
- Remember, I am the one who will send you on your final journey![Note 1]
- Judge: Dear me, what powerful lines! I'm really looking forward to your spectacular performance!
- Firefly: Is this what they call embodying the role? I think I'm starting to understand...
- Firefly: But time is of the essence, so let's make this quick!
- (Begin battle against Dreamjolt Troupe's Bubble Hound ×2, Dreamjolt Troupe's Fortune Seller ×2)
- Bubble Hound who's been forced to play a monster: SoulGlad™... My SoulGlad™... Raawrr...
- Firefly: Pretty simple... I just hope these tests don't take too long.
Pass the second "School of Action" test[]
- (Approach marked location)
- Judge: Congratulations on becoming the first group of Dreamchasers! Answering the call from the Watchmaker, you are disappointed to learn that Penacony isn't paved with gold. Resigned to your current plight, you start from the hierarchical dredges, biding your time for a chance at success.
- Judge: Just as you're about to give up, a downpour sparks a business idea — you enter the umbrella business! But just as things are looking up, you encounter a competitor. Defeat them and emerge victorious from this trade war!
- Firefly: Why is our opponent... SoulGlad?
- Judge: Because, this is SoulGlad™ Enterprises' thirty-third Festivity Auditions of the twentieth season!
- Firefly: Isn't this just product placement...?
- Sweet Gorilla who's been forced to play a monster: To safeguard the integrity of SoulGlad™, I will soar high into the sky and become its shiniest star, whoosh!
- (Begin battle against Dreamjolt Troupe's Sweet Gorilla ×1, Dreamjolt Troupe's Fortune Seller ×2)
- Sweet Gorilla who's been forced to play a monster: The world kisses me with pain, and I provide with SoulGlad™ in return... Whoosh...
Pass the third "School of Action" test[]
- (Approach marked location)
- Judge: Congratulations to our two Dreamchasers for establishing yourselves as budding stars in Penacony. However, now you face a competitor selling at low prices, pushing you to the brink of bankruptcy.
- Judge: No matter how lengthy the battle, you always persevere. Topple this powerful opponent, and the tides will turn, paving a way to success!
- Lil' Beyond Overcooked who's been forced to play a monster: None will take my SoulGlad™ away from me! I will use the Transmutation Arcanum to turn into a dinosaur! *rawrr*
- Big Beyond Overcooked who's been forced to play a monster: O dinosaur, devour my enemies, grawwrr!
- The Beyond Overcooked who've been forced to play monsters: Grab a bottle of SoulGlad™, and make your dreams a blast! Grawwrr!
- (Begin battle against Dreamjolt Troupe's Beyond Overcooked ×2)
- Lil' Beyond Overcooked who's been forced to play a monster: Grawwrr... The body withers, but the SoulGlad™ name shall not...
- Big Beyond Overcooked who's been forced to play a monster: Grawwrr... You truly are a beast, more than I can ever be...
- Firefly: That should do it... Okay, let's go. Mr. Yang is waiting for us.
- Firefly: Isn't this fight way off from the actual storyline?
- Judge: Transforming into a dinosaur isn't imaginative enough for you? This is the sort of magic only seen on Penacony. Anyway, let's get back on track. Where were we? Oh, that's right—
- Judge: After an extended battle, you finally emerged victorious, but the companion who journeyed to Penacony with you chose to leave — having lost all hope.
- Judge: In the years that followed, you encountered each other once more on the prosperous streets of Penacony, but dared not call out to one another. Perhaps akin to the lingering regret of every Dreamchaser.
- Judge: Well done! You brought to life the thrilling action scenes from Once Upon a Time in Dreams with your fighting skills!
Dreamplay Fantasia: Acting Challenge[]
Learn about the challenge from the guide[]
- Step DescriptionThe first choice! You and Firefly arrive at the Dreamplay Fantasia: Acting Challenge arena.
According to the guide's instructions, your "acting" skills will be tested here...
What are acting skills exactly? You have no idea. For you, sincerety has always been the ultimate instrument.
- Transcription missing
Go to the second stage entrance[]
- (Approach marked location)
- Guide: Congrats to both of you for clearing the stage! But more importantly: Are you having fun? Fun is more important than success!
- Guide: Welcome to the second stage of the Scorchsand Festival, sponsored by SoulGlad™ Enterprises — Gunfire Time!
- Guide: You have the option to choose "Gunfire" and undergo Brother Hanu's trial, or "Time," where you'll face Clockie's trial.
- Guide: Now... make your choice!
Start clearing the stage[]
- Step DescriptionThere is a faint noise ahead. Prepare to head to the stage.
- (Enter the Audition Shuttle)
- (If the player had pick Gunfire Time: Gunfire Trial during Trailblaze Mission Seabiscuit, proceed to Gunfire Time: Time Trial)
- (If the player had pick Gunfire Time: Time Trial during Trailblaze Mission Seabiscuit, proceed to Gunfire Time: Gunfire Trial)
Gunfire Time: Time Trial[]
- Step DescriptionThe second choice! You and Firefly arrive at the Dreamplay Fantasia — Gunfire Time: Time Trial stage. According to the guide's instructions, you need to play the role ever-popular protagonist from the Clockie series — Clockie. Smash through the final obstacles together...
...Help this inauthentic Clockie overcome an existential crisis. The game can also be rather profound, can't it?
Step Description- Guide: Dear friends, welcome to the wonderful world created by the Watchmaker! Awaiting you up ahead is the titular character from the beloved Clockie animation — Clockie!
- Guide: It's said that the Watchmaker dreamed up the idea of Clockie when he was just a boy. Back then, he was merely an apprentice in a clock shop, and one night, he dreamt that all the broken clocks started sprouting arms and legs.
- Guide: Like a skilled navigator, he steered them towards the right path! As a classic figure who grew up with many, Clockie truly shaped a generation, solidifying the Watchmaker's pivotal role in popular culture!
- Guide: Contestants, may you have a wonderful time with Clockie!
- Firefly: The test of "time"... I hope it's a happy and positive casual game.
Investigate the talking Clock Statue[]
- (Approach the Clock Statue)
- Big Ticker: Am I... just a failed experiment?
- Firefly: That statue... Did it just speak?
- (Investigate the Clock Statue)
- Big Ticker: Am I... just a failed experiment?
- Big Ticker: ...I'm just an expendable failure of a clock, aren't I?
- Hello, I'd like to play Dreamscape Ticker.
- Big Ticker: "Play"... So, I'm not just a failed clock, I'm also a failed toy.
- So, this stage is requiring us to cure this thing with a whole therapy session now?
- Big Ticker: Don't be naive, buddy. Failure isn't a sickness — it's a sin, and sins can't be cured.
- We've got an urgent matter to attend to... Can you please let us pass already?
- Firefly: I know that this may sound like an exaggeration, but Penacony is actually in danger right now... We have to prevent it at all costs, sooner rather than later.
- Big Ticker: Oh, another group of opportunistic challengers. Sorry, though I may be a failure of a clock, I still have my principles.
- Big Ticker: You guys are just like the other challengers. You want to enter my inner self? Then please, be my guest. But you won't find anything worthwhile... I'm just a failed piece.
- (Enter the Dream Ticker)
- Big Ticker: See, I'm just empty inside.
- Clockie: Tick-tock, it's time for me to make an appearance!
- How come you're here too?
- Where did you come from?
- Ah, the plot thickens. Help!
- Firefly: Clockie? I can also see him... Is this character part of the show?
- Clockie: In Dreamville, Clockie is everywhere and can do anything! Like... right now, I could solve this problem with your Big Ticker pal, tick-tock!
- Big Ticker: I can't believe it's actually Clockie! Why would you come and visit a failure of a clock like me for no reason?
- Clockie: You see, we're all clocks, we're family! I want to help you be happy! Tell your pal Clockie what's troubling you!
- Big Ticker: I... I came across a startling revelation yesterday. Apparently, Dreamscape Ticker isn't the same as Clockie at all. It's just a discarded prototype from Clockie's early development.
- Big Ticker: Please... just leave me be, Clockie. I just don't know how to face you... because I'm just a failure.
- Clockie: Oh dear, seeing it like this is utterly heart-wrenching. But fear not! We're here to help it rediscover the missing parts of its inner self and guide it out of despair!
- Firefly: Ah... I guess even Troupe members can experience existential crises...
- Clockie: Don't worry, miss. I've already pinpointed its missing parts!
Find the Big Ticker's missing parts[]
- Clockie: Over here, my friends! Better be fast like Hamster Ball Knight!
- (Pick up Big Ticker's Broken Heart (I))
- Clockie: This must be one of the missing parts that Big Ticker needs. That's great!
- (Approach the edge)
- Clockie: We're here! There's a missing part on the opposite side... But how do we get over there?
- Firefly: There's also a "Dream's Eye" left here by a Dreamweaver... We're running out of time, we'll have to use it if necessary.
- (Approach the dinosaur)
- ???: Help, help, tweet! I'm about to end up as a roast dinner, tweet!
- Clockie: Tick-tock! Do I hear someone calling out for help?
- ???: Tweet! Help, help help, tweet! This fella's body is boiling hot, tweet!
- ???: Is anyone there, tweet? I can't take it anymore, tweet!
- Clockie: Oh dear, it's an origami bird! What's it doing in Beyond Overcooked's tail?
- ???: Is that Clockie, tweet? Please save me, tweet! I'm being roasted alive, tweet!
- Clockie: A roasted bird! This is horrible — let's save it, quickly!
- (Begin battle against Dreamjolt Troupe's Beyond Overcooked ×1, Dreamjolt Troupe's Fortune Seller ×2)
- (After the battle)
- (Yank the bird)
- Yank!
- Origami Bird: Phew... thank you guys, tweet. I feel I'm about seventy percent cooked, tweet!
- Clockie: Thank goodness you're ok! But why did you burrow yourself into that fella's tail?
- Origami Bird: Because that fella stole one of Mr. Big Ticker's parts, tweet! I wanted to help retrieve it, but I accidentally got myself stuck in the oven, tweet... Go ahead and get it, but be careful, it's hot, tweet!
- (Obtain Big Ticker's Broken Heart (II))
- (Obtain Fleeting Happiness ×1 and Credit ×5000)
Yank!
- Firefly: An inner self fragment belonging to the Sweet Dreams Troupe... This is just too surreal.
- (Pick up Big Ticker's Broken Heart (III))
- Firefly: We've gathered all the missing parts... Let's hurry back, we don't want to keep Big Ticker waiting.
Fix the Big Ticker's fragmented core[]
- (Investigate Big Ticker)
- Clockie: We're back! As long as you have these, you'll be able to find closure, tick-tock!
- (Attempt to leave the area)
- Clockie: Tick-tock! Hey there my gray-haired friend, we still haven't helped Big Ticker find closure yet!
- (After submitting the items)
- Big Ticker: Wow! This sudden surge of joy...
- Clockie: It's working, tick-tock! Next, we just need to enter its Emoscape, help connect its pathways, and we're done!
Adjust Building Blocks and Dream Mirror to help the Clockie collect gears.[]
- (Enter the Dream Ticker)
- (After collecting the first two gears)
- Clockie: Oh dear... What's going on in here? Your inner self is a mess!
- Big Ticker: I'm not qualified to be the real Clockie. Just give up, Clockie!
- Clockie: Hmph, no! This is unacceptable. You have to face your fears!
- Since it's come down to this, I'll have to use Clockwork...
- Clockie: Ta-dah, success!
Since it's come down to this, I'll have to use Clockwork...- (After solving the puzzle)
- Big Ticker: Thank you, Clockie... If not for you, I'd never be able to connect with people like this — you helped me find myself again!
- Clockie: No problem at all! As the guardian of Dreamville, it's what I'm here for! Tick-tock!
- Big Ticker: My friends, you still have other important things to do, right?
- Big Ticker: Go forth, my friends — when the moment comes, all the Dream Tickers and I will cheer for you!
- Firefly: It's all done... Victory is in sight. Let's head to the final stage.
Gunfire Time: Gunfire Trial[]
- Step DescriptionThe second choice! You and Firefly arrive at the Dreamplay Fantasia — Gunfire Time: Gunfire Trial arena. According to the guide's instructions, you need to play the role of the evil-retributing, charisma-overflowing character from the Clockie series — Brother Hanu.
"What is this competition supposed to be about?" You wonder. "Are we trying to see who has the coolest 'hmph'?"
- Transcription missing
Go to the third stage entrance[]
- Step DescriptionThe guide here vanished... Speak with Firefly about what happened.
- (Approach marked location)
- Firefly: Huh? Why isn't there a guide here?
- Firefly: Strange... (Trailblazer), let's go inside and take a look.
- (Enter the Audition Shuttle)
- (Select either Superstar Showdown: Arena I or Superstar Showdown: Arena II)
Investigate the "Something Unto Death"[]
- Step DescriptionThe missing "Dormancy" has appeared here... It seems to be trying to say something.
- Firefly: Huh? Why isn't there a guide here?
- Firefly: Strange... (Trailblazer), let's go inside and take a look.
- (Approach the first set of stair)
- Firefly: I think I hear something familiar...
- Firefly: Aeons. Look! There!
- (Approach the body)
- Firefly: On the stage, it's that meme...
- Firefly: What's this? Why would that thing be here?
- (Approach the meme)
- An invisible barrier parted you from "Dormancy." Due to slamming into the cage over and over, its body is coated with injuries.
- Even so, you can feel the rage, frustration, and despair emanating from the imprisoned lifeform...
- "Dormancy": Gal... lag... her
- "Dormancy": Gal... lag... her
- Firefly: Is it calling for Mr. Gallagher?
- The monster twists painfully as it roars and smashes... The cage, thin like wings made from light, grew weaker and weaker. With but two more... no, one more strike, it is sure to crack!
- Firefly: (Trailblazer), look out! It's lost its senses!
- (Begin battle against Memory Zone Meme "Something Unto Death")
- (After the battle)
- Firefly: Whew. Finally, we can have a moment of peace.
- Firefly: The Memory Zone Meme is very resilient. It didn't look dangerous, though. Without the influence of the memes, the two workers should be able to wake up soon.
- Firefly: But how did the meme get here? Mr. Gallagher probably wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
- Were all this the result of being in the film?
- Firefly: Film? You mean strange things like this can only happen in fiction, right?
- Did something happen to Mr. Gallagher?
- Firefly: He gave a lot in that last big fight... I'm a bit worried.
- I don't know what happened either.
- Firefly: Well, we don't have that much time to think it over. Let's go.
- Firefly: You are about to reach the end. The answers are just ahead of you.
Head to the finish line[]
- (Talk to the "Dormancy" again, optional)
- An invisible barrier parted you from "Dormancy."
- It is much quieter than before, as if it has become used to the environment here. However, you can still hear a faint calling...
- "Dormancy": Gal... lag... her
- "Dormancy": Gal... lag... her
- (Enter the Audition Shuttle)
Investigate the strange videotape[]
- Step DescriptionInvestigate the videotape again and bring the film to a close.
- (Go through the door)
- Announcement: Let's give a round of applause to our aspiring young guests!
- (Approach the main stage)
- Firefly: What's wrong? Why is there no one at the finishing line... Look. It looks like there's a tape there?
- (Touch the videotape)
- The girl who accompanied you suddenly dissolves, leaving behind the metallic gleam of a videotape before you. That enigmatic eye still gazes silently at you.
- "*croak* *croak* *croak*" It's again the sound of that frog.
- Touch the tape
- ???: Beloved protagonist, the end to this film will soon arrive. How do you feel?
- Pretty good.
- ???: Is that so? If your words aren't mere flattery, this evaluation actually leaves me somewhat disappointed — someone of your taste shouldn't have praised such a storyline.
- Pretty thrilled.
- ???: Hehe, this is not a reward for me. No creator would be satisfied by their work only offering cheap thrills.
- I want to keep watching.
- ???: Regardless of your perception, I must say this about this art piece: utterly mediocre, dreadfully dull.
- ???: The sponsor only wanted to capture the sensory thrill of the game through this film project, and they inevitably resorted to confining the actors' souls with many a tedious protocol... Honestly, I don't want my name to be attached to this project in any way.
- ???: Do you feel it now? Most people's lives are as uninteresting as this perplexing film, where they always follow some kind of "script." That script may be called "habits," or "rules," or "destiny"...
- ???: Outstanding actors are always pigeonholed into vacuous roles, forced to repeat monotonous lines and experience the same vapid scenes and beats over and over, making the same limited choices over and over again, before finally departing in numbness.
- ???: Only when the curtain falls upon life can they shed the tackiness of this script... But after leaving the stage, actors will often face an end worse than "death"... Being forgotten by the audience.
- ???: I hope you won't give such a boring performance. My lens is upon you... Don't let me down. And more importantly, don't let the audience down.
- "We will keep playing our roles, drunken and foolish in the moment, playing at life but never thinking to celebrate it."

- Aideen: No, no, no. Of course not. Looks like you still got more in you, huh? But these old bones of mine won't last a second against you.
- So, you're the director?
- Aideen: Haha, I'm just this film's sponsor. As for the director... that's someone else.
- What on earth is going on?
- Aideen: I'm ashamed to admit that we couldn't hold the award ceremony for you due to the technical issues. As such, I invited a cosmically-renewed artist to make a "Memory Film" just for you.
- Aideen: Through this, I hope to reignite the glorious moments of victory for you... and capture your exhilarating journey as it unfolds, etching it within the film. In the future, we can share this joyful time with all our esteems guests.
- Aideen: Just as you've experience, it's all about a thrilling blend of danger and excitement, the perilous memes of the Memory Zone, the delectable delight of SoulGlad, and an immersive journey through the Scorchsand Festival.
- Aideen: In the not-so-distant future, the Dreamscape stores will all have a film like this one, to let everyone know what it's like to be a Festive Superstar. The SoulGlad corporation will also use this moment to create new opportunities upon the tides of commerce!
- Aideen: Got any question, superstar?
- About that Memory Zone Meme...
- Aideen: Oh! What a wild, magnificent, and powerful existence. It's like a living nightmare! I'm very much tempted to design a new SoulGlad flavor based on it. I shall call it "DeathGlad"!
- Aideen: The strange thing is... This terrifying creature has somehow been rendered so fragile, and yet it managed to break into the Moment of Scorchsand. For the safety of everyone, we spared no effort to have it captured.
- Aideen: When shooting the film, we couldn't get the rights to that Knight of Beauty, so we had the director place this monster as the final obstacle. Isn't that a thrill?
- You shouldn't have kept it here.[Note 2]
- Aideen: Oh my, did it bring you any inconveniences? Truly sorry!
- Aideen: That make sense. I heard this one caused no shortage of trouble in the dreams. If the Hounds found out about it being here, it might bring no end of trouble to the SoulGlad corporation... Best to send it back to the edge of the Dreamscape.
- Letting it stay here is a perfect idea.[Note 3]
- Aideen: Haha, you're right. It'll definitely be the most popular mascot here!
- Aideen: But honestly, this guy just won't listen. Typical Memory Zone Memes are pretty easy to control, but this one just won't heed any warnings at all. I'm worried it might run off...
- About Firefly...
- Aideen: We once sent Ms. Firefly an invitation... A shame that her physical condition prevents her from participating in such an intense sporting event.
- Aideen: Thankfully, the director's skills were great, and he managed to simulate her likeness just from a few memory segments. It looks just like her!
- About that artist...
- Aideen: Oh! That great director. People call him "Mr. Reca."
- Aideen: He has outstanding taste in aesthetics and almost supernatural skill. It's just that he can be a bit eccentric...
- About Gallagher
- Aideen: Who? I don't think I've heard of him.
- A nameless hero.
- Aideen: Well, if he's a nameless hero, then it seems perfectly normal that no one should remember his name.
- A friend.
- Aideen: Never heard of him... Probably no one important.
- Forget it if you've never heard of him.
- Aideen: Haha. Sorry. I only remember superstars like you.
- No other questions.
- Aideen: In any case, congrats on clinching the Scorchsand Festival trophy yet again.
- Aideen: May the sweetness of SoulGlad be with you, and your future be as sweet as SoulGlad!
About that Memory Zone Meme...

- (Talk to Aideen again, optional)
- Aideen: In any case, congrats on clinching the Scorchsand Festival trophy yet again.
- Aideen: May the sweetness of SoulGlad be with you, and your future be as sweet as SoulGlad!
