Find out what's going on[]
Mission DescriptionHowever, it's not just the guests who return to this beautiful dream... People discuss him without concern, for home is now no more than a deathtrap for this man returning to familiar lands.
Though the place remains as it was, people have changed. Take great care as you investigate the situation.
Mission Description
- Several weeks later, Golden Hour, Penacony
- Nightingale Family Member: Creating chaos is also a means to maintaining social stability, if you ask me.
- Bloodhound Family Member: If you have the time for mindless gossip, you're probably better off spending it on getting actual work done.
- Nightingale Family Member: They say this is all part of "ongoing investigations," but is there even any point to doing this? The threat's long been neutralized. They're just putting on a show.
- Nightingale Family Member: I mean, look at us, and this sudden surge in inter-Family cooperative efforts. It's nothing but a pretense for those outsiders, isn't it?
- Bloodhound Family Member: Sounds like you've got insider intel. Now I'm curious...
- Bloodhound Family Member: Are the stories going around true? Was the furor that broke out a while ago really a result of trouble within the Oak Family?
- Nightingale Family Member: Those are some difficult questions... Didn't I just say that creating chaos is also a means to maintaining social stability?
- Nightingale Family Member: Who knows who's been fanning the flames, but there are a dozen rumors going around out there, each one more outlandish than the last.
- Bloodhound Family Member: Oh, I've heard those. Conspiracy theories about how the IPC had orchestrated everything and... What was it again? That the chaos was only quelled because of an accident? Ugh, it makes no sense. So, what's the lowdown?
- Nightingale Family Member: The truth has probably been long buried under all the hearsay. All I can say for sure is that someone's taken the rap for it.
- Bloodhound Family Member: You mean... the former Oak Family head?
- Nightingale Family Member: Bingo! Most of the blame was pinned on him when the Charmony Festival was abruptly canceled. Since then, not a single soul's seen him.
- Nightingale Family Member: Heck, forget his whereabouts — nobody even knows if he's still alive! Talk about scary. For all we know, we might have watched something go down in history — like what happened to the Blackplum Family back then — without even realizing it.
- Bloodhound Family Member: I've heard another theory about that family head, though...
- Bloodhound Family Member: I beg your pardon, sirs. Dreamweavers are carrying out inspections on the routes around here, and all affected facilities have been closed off. Kindly take a detour in the meantime.
- Wonweek: What happened? Is this because of the Stellaron? Geez, are we Penaconians never gonna dream in peace again?
- Nightingale Family Member: There is no cause for alarm, sir. The Stellaron has already been sealed. This is just a routine inspection. A move to heighten security, if you will.
- Nightingale Family Member: Please rest assured that The Family will do everything in our power to protect the sweet dreams of every guest.
- Weary Passerby: I see. We'll leave the two of you to your work, then.
- Bloodhound Family Member: ...Hmm?
- Bloodhound Family Member: Excuse me, sir...
- Bloodhound Family Member: Have we met before?
- Weary Passerby: ...Oh?
- (The power of Harmony distorts the screen)
- Weary Passerby: Do you recall when or where we might've met?
- (The Harmony's distortions disappear)
- Bloodhound Family Member: ...
- Bloodhound Family Member: My bad, I must be mistaken. Sorry about that. Sweet dreams to both of you, sirs.
Speak with Wonweek[]
- Wonweek: You sure have a knack for stirring up trouble. Of all the routes available, you had to take the one that Bloodhound's keeping watch over.
- Sunday: We shouldn't run into any problems with you around. Even if they see through the Harmony's power of disguise, there'll be a way for us to escape.
- Wonweek: Spare a thought for me, will you? Just being in your company is plenty enough to get me into trouble, Mr. Prime Fugitive of Penacony.
- Sunday: And that is exactly why I need you with me. You're the only one I can rely on in Penacony now.
- Wonweek: Hmph, the only one you can rely on, huh.
- Wonweek: What about her?
- Sunday: ...
- Sunday: At least she was spared from the consequences of my actions.
- Wonweek: What a shame, huh?
- Sunday: Why do you say that?
- Wonweek: Just thought that being mean might be more effective than consoling you.
- Wonweek: I've seen plenty like you. Eager for everyone to take you to task after a setback because that's the only way you'll feel better. As though the more they condemn you, the more likely you can rectify your mistake.
- Wonweek: That said, if I'd really wanted to hit you where it hurts, I'd use a different approach... Like a show of sympathy, for example.
- Sunday: You're right. I won't deny that.
- Wonweek: She should still be in Penacony. Aren't you going to look for her?
- Sunday: That won't be necessary. I'm sure you already know why, considering your vested interest in reading my thoughts.
- Sunday: ...I can't bring myself to see her when I'm a fugitive.
Head to Aideen Park[]
- Wonweek: Alright, then let's keep going. Helping a fugitive return to their home... So exciting.
- (Approach the marked location)
- Sunday: I see two Bloodhounds... They appear to be on official business, unlike the pair from earlier.
- Sunday: What's happening at Aideen Park?
- Wonweek: Hey! Heeeey! In case you didn't notice, I can't see anything!
- Sunday: My apologies. I forgot that you're not very tall.
- Wonweek: ...
- Wonweek: Remind me... Why do I have to make this trip with you again?
- Sunday: We've been through this. You're the only one I can turn to now.
- Sunday: Besides, we once lived a cat-and-dog existence. Embroiling you in my affairs won't weigh on my conscience.
- Wonweek: You certainly don't have much of one if you can bring yourself to say something like that.
- Sunday: Yet you will repay this favor all the same. After all, you're only alive today because of me. You owe me that much.
- Wonweek: ...Holy moly! Can you get any more conceited?
- Sunday: When you were abandoned in the wild and near your end, I showed you a way to survive and helped you escape the jaws of death.
- Sunday: When you were at your wits' end and felt lost about your future, I did everything within my power to help you safeguard your position in The Family.
- Wonweek: Okay, okay. I get it already. You have a way with words, I'll give you that. Still, it's one thing to repay a favor, but quite another to knowingly put myself in harm's way.
- Wonweek: I don't understand. Why are you hell-bent on going back to Penacony? Is this an IPC mission?
- Wonweek: Did they make you a deal? "You can have your freedom back, but in return, you must turn against all whom you once called family" or something like that?
- Sunday: Regrettably, Lady Bonajade didn't drop so much as a hint about it.
- Jade: Go now. You are free — O chosen one, who dared to exceed his bounds. Sever your wings, descend to the mortal realm, and walk their lands. See what this world is truly like.
- Sunday: I will not accept your charity.
- Jade: As I mentioned earlier: It's a trade, and you don't have to give me an answer right now. Rewards are not reaped in a day, and if there's one thing I'm best at, it's waiting. The sweet dream still continues, and the night is still long — you have plenty of time to contemplate your answer.
- Sunday: She only left me with a most intriguing message before setting me free. As for whether I can afford the price of my freedom...
- Sunday: I'll only know when I find out what it is.
- Wonweek: But nothing good ever comes out of being in the IPC's debt.
- Sunday: I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. For now, there's still some time before that payment is due, so why not exercise the right to freedom that I've just regained?
- Wonweek: By walking straight into a trap?
- Sunday: Or by making amends for past deeds.
- Sunday: When it's time to go, this will be farewell for good. So, before I leave Penacony, I'd like to take some time to look back on all the events that have taken place.
- Wonweek: Can't you just look back on it from a distance?
- Sunday: There's something else I want to do, too. The Embryo of Philosophy may have fallen, but the Order in Penacony wasn't built in a day. This sweet dream is likely to still contain residual traces of the Oak Family's influence.
- Wonweek: Get off your high horse. The other four Families are more than capable of working things out on their own.
- Sunday: I might have gone astray, but others shouldn't have to clean up after my mistakes.
- Wonweek: Then you should also know that the IPC isn't going to help you a second time. If you fall into The Family's hands again, you're done for.
- Sunday: You know how it is — old habits die hard.
- Sunday: The tie should be on the center line, the shirt must not protrude from the vest, trouser creases should be perfectly straight, and always aligned with the tips of your shoes.... We should always ensure that everything is in order before walking out the door.
- Sunday: The same applies when bidding my home farewell, too.
- Step DescriptionSunday has lost his wings and fallen into the state you now see. He has come to realize that miracles are not to be carried out in the skies but on the ground. And, at the beginning of this precious freedom he had found, he hopes to make his farewells quick and orderly.
Bid farewell to this beautiful dream with the help of Wonweek. Make as many unreasonable requests as you need, and you can just owe him a favor for later. - Wonweek: But what has Aideen Park got to do with you? Don't tell me that the founder's one of your disguises?
- Sunday: I'm not that old.
- Wonweek: Oh, come on. Take a joke, will you?
- (Approach Tired Bloodhound Family Member)
- Tired Bloodhound Family Member: Sorry, but park facilities are out of order. Refurbishment works are currently underway. Please come back again later.
- Sunday: That sounds familiar.
- (The power of Harmony distorts the screen)
- Wonweek: Ahem. I'm aware of the situation. You can skip the report.
- Tired Bloodhound Family Member: Huh? What are you talking about? I—
- (The Harmony's distortions disappear)
- Tired Bloodhound Family Member: ...Mr. Wonweek? Please excuse me. I should've recognized you earlier. I must be more tired than I realized.
- Wonweek: I wanna know what's going on in there. You'll tell me, won't you?
- Tired Bloodhound Family Member: There's nothing much to say, actually. We Bloodhounds are just as baffled as you are. My guess is that it's simply part of the aftermath of the Stellaron incident.
- Sunday: Aftermath?
- Tired Bloodhound Family Member: You are...?
- Wonweek: Renowned workaholic, Mr. Workday. He works for me. You don't know him?
- Tired Bloodhound Family Member: Ah, I see. Pardon my ignorance, sir.
- Tired Bloodhound Family Member: Coming back to the topic of the park... Let's just say that it has been recently observed that certain behaviors are not tolerated around here.
- Wonweek: What happens if you violate the prohibitions?
- Tired Bloodhound Family Member: It's baffling, but corrective measures will be taken. It's kind of difficult to explain... Maybe you'd like to see for yourself?
- Wonweek: Yeah, that works. Can you keep watch over the entrance? We'll go in and have a look for ourselves.
- Tired Bloodhound Family Member: Please take these notes with you. They may come in handy.
- Sunday: You shouldn't have said that just now. It'll only make us look suspicious.
- Wonweek: Said what?
- Sunday: "Mr. Workday."
- Wonweek: Hmph, I was just telling the truth. I've always found this name to be more suitable for you.
- Wonweek: So, why are we here? You managed this park before?
- Sunday: You could say that. I was still a child back then. To become the Bronze Melodia of the Oak Family, I'd gone under Mr. Gopher Wood's tutelage.
- Sunday: We were taking a walk in the park like any other day when he suddenly hit on the idea to have me manage the park. Within the domain he demarcated, my every word would hold the force of law.
- Sunday: In hindsight, that was probably the first time that I enforced Order.
- Wonweek: You rose through the ranks soon after. I take it that you must have done a pretty good job?
- Sunday: Quite the contrary — I made a terrible mess of things. Fortunately, the tourists thought of it as nothing more than a spell of merrymaking.
- Wonweek: Was that his way of training you?
- Sunday: Perhaps he was just using an approach with lighter consequences to show me what he'd learned in life: That there is never an ideal paradigm when it comes to rules. If the enforcer is incapable of introspection, then even regulations once laid down with the noblest of intentions will eventually become defiled.
- Sunday: This place is no exception. The distorted Afterechoes of the Order... will only add to the chaos.
- Wonweek: Let's see what we have on these notes...
- (Quick read)
-
- Aideen Park Investigatory Rules
- I'll write down what I've noticed for now. I'll go over things when I meet the others later.
— No consumption of food other than burgers, especially ice cream.
— Only cast and crew members are allowed on the stage.
— Be kind to birds.
— Do not discard trash in trashcans.
— Please do not use SoulGlad bottle caps sold by the Dreamjolt Troupe while experiencing the attractions.
— Handstand walks around flowerbeds are prohibited.
Attention: Conducts that have not been mentioned are not necessarily safe. They just have not yet been reviewed.
Based on the rules, investigate the unusual occurrence[]
- Step DescriptionNo farewell ever goes smoothly... According to the Bloodhound Family members, something unusual has occurred here. What's more, it is likely connected to some kind of distorted Afterechoes...
Let's have Wonweek pull some strings and head to Aideen Park to investigate.
- Wonweek: "No consumption of food except for burgers." ...What?
- (Approach the flower beds, optional)
- Wonweek: "Handstand walks around flowerbeds are prohibited."
- Wonweek: Let's not worry about how the Bloodhounds figured this one out. Hm, I reckon the worst that can happen for this one is that they'll flip you back onto your feet. Say, why don't you test it out this time? I'd love to see you do a handstand!
- Sunday: No, thank you.
- (Interact with the street light, optional)
- Wonweek: "Be kind to birds."
- Sunday: Looks like some rules weren't distorted. That's a word-for-word account of what I said back then.
- Wonweek: Did you make this rule because your sister is named Robin?
- Sunday: No, it was for Mr. Gopher Wood. He used to stop by the park to people-watch and appreciate the vibrancy of life. This was his way of recharging whenever things wore him out.
- Sunday: I wanted him to rest undisturbed.
- (Approach the ice cream truck)
- Wonweek: "No consumption of food other than burgers, especially ice cream." ...Please tell me you didn't make this rule.
- Sunday: I have nothing against desserts. The only reason I made that rule is so that people can learn to wait in line in an orderly manner for things instead of shoving and jostling people around.
- Wonweek: What happens if I break the rule?
- Sunday: It's as the Bloodhound said: Corrective measures will be enforced.
- Wonweek: Hmph. Try me.
- Sunday: Wait, don't—
- In the blink of an eye, the ice cream vanished.
- Wonweek: Pfft. So, where are those corrective measures?
- Sunday: That's odd.
- Wonweek: Didn't I tell you? The Family can take care of the issue without you having to get involved.
- Wonweek: Next on the list is the stage. Let's go and check it out.
- (Approach the stage)
- Wonweek: "Only cast and crew members are allowed on the stage." Hm, a surprisingly reasonable rule.
- Sunday: And an easy one to test. Neither of us is part of the cast or a crew member. Let's try it out.
- (Approach the marked location)
- Wonweek: ...Huh?
- Sunday: Let's try that again.
- (Approach the marked location)
- Wonweek: What's going on?
- Sunday: "Guide those who have lost their way back onto the right path." Looks like this is an example of the "corrective measures" that the Bloodhound mentioned. It's exactly what I would've done back then.
- Wonweek: You've been iron-fisted since you were little, haven't you?
- Wonweek: ...Wait a sec. If this is how violations are corrected, then everything that I ate just now...
- Sunday: I tried to warn you.
- Wonweek: ...
- Like a drunkard commonly seen by the sidewalk, he vomited a sliver of rainbow—
- Wonweek: Ugh...
- Sunday: How do you feel?
- Wonweek: Now, I'm feeling murderous...
- Sunday: In any case, say what you will, but I can't sit by and do nothing. Not when I'm the cause of all this trouble in Aideen Park. There's no need to involve the Dreamweavers. I'll fix these distortions once and for all.
- Wonweek: What's the plan?
- Sunday: Nothing complicated. All distortions have their roots. We'll be able to trace them to the source once they manifest. Breaking a few rules will do. We just need to make sure that the corrective measures that will be implemented aren't too much for us to handle.
- Sunday: When a distorted Afterecho manifests to correct us, I'll be able to pinpoint its whereabouts.
- Sunday: Then I'll use the power of tuning to heal the Dreamscape.
- Step DescriptionThis is very reminiscent of the real world... The Dreamscape is starting to make completely unreasonable requests of people.
Try breaking some more rules to find the source of the Afterechoes. - Wonweek: So... Can I take it that rules are meant to be broken now?
- (Approach the stage again, optional)
- Sunday: "Guide those who have lost their way back onto the right path." Looks like this is an example of the "corrective measures" that the Bloodhound mentioned. It's exactly what I would've done back then.
- (Interact with the ice cream truck again, optional)
- Wonweek: Uh, I say we pass on this. Thanks to you, I never want to eat ice cream again.
- (Approach the flower beds again, optional)
- Wonweek: "Handstand walks around flowerbeds are prohibited."
- Wonweek: Let's not worry about how the Bloodhounds figured this one out. Hm, I reckon the worst that can happen for this one is that they'll flip you back onto your feet. Say, why don't you test it out this time? I'd love to see you do a handstand!
- Sunday: No, thank you.
- (Interact with the Trashcan)
- Wonweek: "Do not discard trash in trashcans."
- Wonweek: This is absurd! Did you make this rule too?
- Sunday: ...
- Sunday: Children tend to be fascinated by such paradoxes. I was no exception.
- Wonweek: Forget it, I don't even know how to joke about this. Well, what do you suggest we throw in?
- Anything will do.
- (Submit Credit ×1, Classic SoulGlad ×1, Trash ×1, or Clockie Pizza (Whole) ×1)
- Wonweek: Oh, something's happening.
- Wonweek: ...
- Sunday: ...
- Wonweek: What is this, a woodcutter's trashcan!?
- (Submit
Anything will do.
- (Obtain Pleasant-Looking Trash ×1)
- (Obtain
- I don't have anything we can use for now.
- (Exits dialogue)
I don't have anything we can use for now.
- (Interact with the Trashcan again, optional)
- Wonweek: "Do not discard trash in trashcans."
- (Submit Credit ×1, Classic SoulGlad ×1, Trash ×1, or Clockie Pizza (Whole) ×1)
-
- You attempt to insert some things, but no reaction is observed — This little trashcan has quite the personality, successfully grabbing your attention.
- (Submit Pleasant-Looking Trash ×1, first time only)
-
- You insert Pleasant-Looking Trash into the bin as a sign of consideration, and in the blink of an eye, more Pleasant-Looking Trashes emerge — what an inappropriate application of the Horn of Plenty concept.
- (Obtain Pleasant-Looking Trash ×3)
- (Submit Pleasant-Looking Trash ×1, second time only)
-
- You insert more Pleasant-Looking Trash. The trashcan is overjoyed and silently pay its respects to you. Before you left, you suddenly feel a sense of dignity.
- (Obtain Sanctity of the Trashcan ×1)
- (The Trashcan disappears)
- (Submit
- (Play Golden Capsule Machine)
- Wonweek: "Please do not use SoulGlad bottle caps sold by the Dreamjolt Troupe while experiencing the attractions."
- Wonweek: The Dreamjolt Troupe? Where? Are they hiding or something?
- (Talk to the Bubble Hound)
- Bubble Hound: Awoooo!
- Wonweek: Oh, there it is! Found a good hiding spot, didn't ya? Come on, let's buy some bottle caps from it.
- Sunday: Just one moment.
- Sunday places some Alfalfa credits in front of Bubble Hound.
- Bubble Hound: Arf, arf, arroooo!
- Wonweek: Ahaha, let me translate that for you: "Who are you trying to pay with your spare change?"
- Sunday: ...
- Sunday has placed even more Alfalfa credits.
- Sunday: I'm afraid you're going to have to handle this if it isn't enough.
- Wonweek: Handle this? Handle what?
- Wonweek: ...Wait, is that really all you've got on you!?
- Sunday: May I remind you that I'm currently on the run?
- Bubble Hound: Awoooo, awoooo!
- The Dreamjolt Troupe lets out terse shouts. It moves closer, pointing the soda bottle hanging in front of it towards the two.
- Wonweek: Whew, luck's on our side. Looks like we scraped together just enough.
- (Obtain SoulGlad Bottle Cap ×1)
- (Approach the Golden Capsule Machine)
- Wonweek: Shall we give this capsule machine a try and see what happens?
- Play Golden Capsule Machine
- (Submit SoulGlad Bottle Cap ×1)
- Wonweek: Nothing's off so far. Maybe we should open the capsule?
Play Golden Capsule Machine- (Investigate the capsule)
- (Quick read)
-
- Note in the Capsule Machine
- You shouldn't have done that.
- Since warnings have proven futile, punishment is now inevitable.
- Wonweek: Uh, they can't be seriously going that far, right?
- Wonweek: No, no, no! Hey, look out!
- (Enter battle)
- (After winning the battle)
- Wonweek: Did they have to do that!? They could've just recalled the capsule!
- Sunday: Perhaps making the attractions no longer just attractions is another corrective measure?
- Wonweek: Ugh, aren't the rules being too finicky with words?
- (After breaking one rule)
- Sunday: We're not breaking enough rules. We should look elsewhere too.
- (After breaking two rules)
- Sunday: Enough. The location of the distortion is nearby.
- The Afterechoes of Order, once distorted, only add to the chaos. As a tuner, Sunday can easily discern where the harmony of Dreamscapes has been disrupted.
The Afterechoes of Order, once distorted, only add to the chaos. As a tuner, Sunday can easily discern where the harmony of Dreamscapes has been disrupted.
Find the distorted Afterecho[]
- Step DescriptionThis is very reminiscent of the real world... The Dreamscape is starting to make completely unreasonable requests of people.
Tune the Dreamscape and eliminate the distorted Afterechoes of Aideen Park.
- (Investigate the marked location)
- Wonweek: Oh, there it is. Huh, it does look somewhat like you.
- Sunday: Time for it to disappear for good.
- (The power of Harmony distorts the screen)
- Sunday: "Reveal thyself unto me, as is customary — All creatures endowed with eyes bear souls of equal worth."
- (The Harmony's distortions disappear)
- Wonweek: Whoa, it worked! The IPC totally should've sent someone to keep an eye on you. Aren't they worried that you might make a comeback in Penacony and grow a new pair of wings?
- Sunday: So long as there remains a need for me to keep a low profile, I'm no threat to them.
- Wonweek: That's true. Come to think of it, you had always been in the spotlight, be it as a respected member of the elite or a leader. When was the last time you fell into the mud? All the way back during your childhood days?
- Sunday: Sometime before I turned six. Like most boys would, I tried to fly with my ear feathers, only to fall into a pit. I almost broke my halo.
- Wonweek: That was sarcasm, in case you didn't realize. But whoa, you actually remember something like that?
- Sunday: You never forget times of failure. It's only human nature.
- Wonweek: Bah, you're probably the only one who'd consider something like that a failure.
Tune the Dreamscape[]
- Step DescriptionYou've reflected on the past and eliminated the lurking danger. It's time to leave Aideen Park... Look back, then continue onwards. Perhaps these are the only two things a person can ever do in life.
- (Approach the marked location)
- Wonweek: What is it this time?
- Sunday: Just looking back.
- Wonweek: But nothing's there!
- Sunday: That's the whole point of revisiting a place. When I look at everything here, the memories are so fresh it's as if it all only happened yesterday.
- Sunday: When the younger me tasted failure here, I ran myself ragged to fix the mess. I'd thought myself no longer the same person as before... But it looks like I was just going round in circles.
- Sunday: I'm glad for this chance to look back on my past in this way. Come now, we should go. This will be a long farewell.
- (Approach the marked location)
- Wonweek: So, where are we heading next?
- Sunday: Oti Mall. There are Bloodhounds stationed along the way, though. It might be better to take a quieter route...
- Welt: I don't mean to meddle, but I'd advise you to stay away from that place.
- Wonweek: Did something happen?
- Welt: There isn't any concrete information yet, but anomalies have been reported around the area. The Family is currently investigating.
- Welt: ...You okay?
- Sunday: I'm fine.
- Sunday: The Stellaron incident may have been quelled, but who is to say that nobody has another agenda?
- Sunday: Thanks for the tip, sir. We'll make a detour. May you stay safe, too.
- Welt: Hold on.
- Sunday: ...
- Welt: Sweet dreams are technically safe, but it would be wise to look out for oncoming vehicles.
- Sunday: Thank you.
- Wonweek: Whew, that was no ordinary passerby. It's a miracle that he didn't see through your disguise.
- Sunday: The Astral Express should've departed a long time ago. Why is he still in Penacony...?
- Sunday: ...We needn't change our plans because of him, but be sure to keep your guard up.
- Sunday: I hope nothing terrible has fallen upon Penacony while I was in captivity the last few days.
Continue your journey of reflection[]
- Step DescriptionPerhaps Welt has spent too much time travelling with people, and they are starting to forget how it feels to face him as a foe... It's truly terrifying to have Welt as your "enemy."
Find a way to get away from him and continue your journey of reflection.
- Sunday: Come now, it's time we set off. Let's not stick too close to each other, just in case. A few feet or so between us will do.
- (Approach the marked location)
- Sunday: Seems I let my wishful thinking get the best of me. Will you at least give me a chance to explain?
- Welt: I will. But before I do...
- Welt: Put your hands behind your back and answer my questions in short sentences.
- Sunday: Short sentences?
- Welt: I need to make sure your words aren't concealing any dangerous incantations.
- Sunday: I can't believe I've left everyone with such a peculiar impression of me...
- Sunday: Please believe me when I say that I didn't come back here with ill intent. Penacony will never experience the Order again either.
- Welt: I'm afraid I won't be taking your words at face value. Not after how you wielded the power of Harmony.
- Welt: Answer me. What are you doing here?
- Sunday: ...
- Sunday: It looks like there's only one way to gain your trust.
- Sunday: Come on out, Wonweek. We've found ourselves an ally.
- Sunday unreservedly shares his story with Welt...
- Welt: So, it was the IPC that freed you?
- Sunday: My sister has likely made an agreement of some sort with them. As for how I'm able to move around freely in Penacony, I have Wonweek to thank for that.
- Sunday: As you can see, I've only returned to my home to bid it farewell. Would you be kind enough to give me a chance to say goodbye so that I may leave without regrets?
- Welt: ...
- Welt: Agreed, but until you leave Penacony for good, you are to stay by my side.
- Sunday: You have my gratitude.
- Welt: ...I left my home in a hurry, too... I know how it feels.
- Welt: That said, I can't make this call by myself. My companions need to know about this too.
- Sunday: The Astral Express crew is in Penacony, too?
- Welt: Come with me — we'll go find them. You come along too.
- Wonweek: Okay, okay. Boy, this is gonna be a party!
Go with Welt to see his companions[]
- Step DescriptionUnfortunately, there is no way to escape from Welt. Go with him to meet his Express companions and find a way to get some time to yourself.
- (Approach the marked location)
- Welt: We're here. They should be somewhere nearby.
- Sunday: Mr. Yang. If you don't mind, there's something that puzzles me.
- Sunday: Now that the crisis on the Planet of Festivities has been averted, shouldn't the Astral Express have departed to continue on its trailblazing journey? Why have you and your companions stayed behind in Penacony?
- Sunday: Could it be that someone stirred up trouble after I left?
- Welt: And if that were indeed the case?
- Sunday: I doubt I'm in any position to be proposing ideas, but I'm happy to defer to the Nameless and aid with any plans you may have.
- Welt: There's no need to worry, all is well in Penacony. Our reason for lingering here is a certain unusual passenger.
- Sunday: A passenger?
- Welt: The Express has been commissioned to send a passenger back home. We're just resting up in Penacony for a while before we depart.
- Welt: Hm?
