Rinascita II Act VII

Dreamcatchers in the Secret Gardens

The Dreamer seals her heart and surrenders to a world of dreams beyond mortal sight. In this hidden realm built upon melancholy melodies, she walks a path of fragile hope and delusions without looking back. But the dreams she longs to realize have long been tangled up in shadow and deceit. Beneath the lofty facade of the Orchestrator, who seems to have everything, is but a wretched, pitiful soul, drowning in her own illusions. In the end, will this dream of blooming and withering be a sweet reverie or a haunting nightmare?
Quest List

Phrolova:
We'll descend from here. The path ahead should be safe.

Reach the lower level of the Energy Hub
Rover:
Safe, really?
Phrolova:
...I didn't expect this either.

Rover:
It's a mess here. How are we supposed to find the movement pieces?
Phrolova:
Try to think from the perspective of the one who concealed them.

Rover:
Echo Brooders, in here?... Stay on guard, just in case they break out and attack.
Phrolova:
They won't. They're not fully developed yet.

Phrolova:
...
Rover:
Oh? What was that you said?

An accidentally triggered security system separates you and Phrolova. She proposes splitting up to speed up the search. You worry that this might be a trap set by her and Fenrico. To ease your doubts, Phrolova hands you her baton, which holds her remaining Resonance Energy, her only support in her current state. After some thought, you accept her baton and go your separate ways.
Phrolova:
We should each go our own way.
Phrolova:
Fenrico likely hid the two music sheets separately to stall us.
Phrolova:
You're wondering if this was all a setup to trap you.
Phrolova:
Heh… Now I'm even more certain. Fenrico wanted us separated.
Phrolova:
If he could craft a snare for us to walk into, why wouldn't he?
Phrolova:
Searching together wastes time, but if we're separated, the fragile trust between us could crumble in an instant.
Phrolova:
Doubt, dispute, hesitation… such ruinous trappings follow us disquietly to our graves. That's his plan.
Phrolova:
But I won't let him win. Will you?
Phrolova:
It's tied to my power and the only support I have in my weakened state.
Phrolova:
Even if we're apart, you'll still hold my fate in your hand.
Phrolova:
Staying here will get neither of us what we want.
Phrolova:
Don't keep me waiting.

Rover:
An ambush?
Rover:
Ha, as expected.

Rover:
Pointless.

Defeat the enemies
Rover:
It's a bit tricky without a guide...
Abby:
Not if I'm here!
Rover:
Did you sleep well?
Abby:
Mhm! Feeling great!
Abby:
But where are we now? So many twists and turns, it's making me dizzy...
Rover:
Let's figure this out together.
Abby:
Roger! Roger!

Continue onward
Rover:
Come on, we need to find the music piece.
Abby:
What music piece?
Rover:
It's a long story…
Abby:
Alright then, I'll keep an eye out. Just make sure you fill me in later!

Continue onward
Abby:
Check out all this stuff! We might find the music piece here.

Continue onward
Rover:
"Tacet Discords generated by the Dark Tide consist of fragmented frequencies intensely fused together."
Rover:
"These subjects lack self-awareness. The collective consciousness formed through fusion is entirely shaped and controlled by Leviathan."
Rover:
"The Dark Tide cannot sustain or preserve original human consciousness. Research terminated. Recorder: Phrolova."

Defeat the enemies
Rover:
"The frequencies in Retroact Rain are essentially purer and more stable Remnant Energy. This shows potential."
Rover:
"The human consciousness retained within the rain is too weak, resulting in only brief, repetitive fragments."
Rover:
"Retroact Rain is unpredictable and cannot independently form Tacet Discords or Echoes capable of maintaining human consciousness on a large scale. Research terminated. Recorder: Phrolova."

Continue onward
You come across old research files on the Waveworn Phenomenon, which appear to be Phrolova's work. Your investigation reveals that she was searching for ways to preserve human consciousness, though you can't tell whose.
Rover:
"Artificial Sonoro Spheres have a short duration and are unstable. Additionally, the influence of Fortes can cause unintended changes to them."
Rover:
"Creating a large, stable Sonoro capable of sustaining a reality for all, would entail significant costs. Additionally, the process would demand the sustained application of my Resonance ability."
Rover:
"This research direction has gained solid support and will continue. Recorder: Phrolova."
Rover:
These records all link to the Waveworn Phenomenon.
Abby:
Why did Phrolova even study this?
Rover:
There's a pattern here... She was searching for a way to preserve human consciousness.
Rover:
And if Fenrico's recording is real, who exactly was she trying to save when she created the Lost Beyond?

Rover:
Why are there so many Tacet Discords?
Rover:
She can't defend herself. We need to clear the way for her.
Abby:
Wait, why would you even… Ugh, whatever. Maybe trying poking these control devices?

Continue onward
Abby:
Whoa, this can distract them!

Continue onward
Abby:
Look, this can take care of them!

Rover:
She's probably safe for now. Let's go.

Abby:
Huh? Is that Phrolova?
Rover:
She's talking to someone… but I can't tell who.
Rover:
Anyway, let's keep going.

Abby:
Are these guys guarding something?
Rover:
Looks like the music piece is nearby.

Phrolova's perspective.

Continue onward
Phrolova:
(I didn't expect you to act...)

Continue onward
Phrolova:
(More guards... and watchful eyes...)
Phrolova:
(I must find another way.)

Phrolova:
(There. My way out.)
Phrolova:
(When the melody beckons, their eyes may turn away... and in the hush, the shadow slips through.)
Phrolova:
(Well then... Show me how you conduct your symphony.)

Obtain the music piece
Phrolova:
(Patience. I will move when their gaze turns elsewhere.)

Phrolova:
(Heh... The more watchful the eyes, the louder their fear sings to me.)

Continue onward
Phrolova:
(Shall we let the music begin?)

Sneak your way forward
While searching for the sheet music, Phrolova encounters the Grand Architect of Fractsidus, who has taken the form of Triss. The Grand Architect suggests that with the unexpected turbulence in the sea depths, plans for the Lost Beyond should be set aside for now. Instead, trapping you to secure the Threnodian's residual energy has become the new priority. Phrolova considers this and then accepts the Grand Architect's command.
"Triss":
Phrolova, in a bit of trouble, hmm?
Phrolova:
Don't show yourself with her face, Grand Architect.
"Triss":
Oh? But you used to like it when "I" was like this.
Phrolova:
Why are you here?
"Triss":
"I" promised you, didn't I? To let the Elegy from the Beyond sing here, and see "us" reborn again.
"Triss":
The frequency in your eye... It hurts, doesn't it? So many voices, so many cries, all echoing in your head...
"Triss":
"I" know you can bear it, just like you always have. With your half-human, half-Tacet Discord body, can anything even hurt you, or kill you? But your mind? I don't want you to feel all that pain.
"Triss":
And now... the game has changed. After what happened in Septimont, Augusta's made her move.
Phrolova:
"Disdaining fortune, with Its power clutched in our grasp before Its fall, we shall wield It, and call forth every forgotten soul." That was your promise to me.
Phrolova:
But without Leviathan's power of Unity, I can no longer grant them all a rebirth within the Beyond.
"Triss":
Oh, but you still can. You're saving "us" now!
"Triss":
"I" just want you to finish Cristoforo's plan first.
"Triss":
The seabed is in chaos. Now isn't the best time to bring "us" back.
"Triss":
Merging Reverberations with Tacet Discords, keeping "our" consciousness alive while creating new vessels for "us"... Don't you want more time to make it perfect? A true revival, done the right way?
Phrolova:
Even if I agreed to help you first, Rover would never allow it. {Male=He;Female=She} would fight to the end to stop us.
"Triss":
The Beyond is merging with you. Once you gain the strength to open that gateway, you can keep {Male=him;Female=her} there. With "us." Forever.
Phrolova:
...
"Triss":
Oh? You're hesitating. Is that moment you two shared really more important than "us"?
Phrolova:
You misunderstand. A seat in the Beyond has always awaited {Male=him;Female=her}. Trapping {Male=him;Female=her} now changes nothing. In the end, {Male=he;Female=she} will fulfill {Male=his;Female=her} promise to me there.
"Triss":
Hehehe... Hurry up, Phrolova. The Beyond is holding onto you tighter and tighter. I'm scared you won't have much time left.

The Lost Beyond's influence on Phrolova intensifies. Visions of people from the past and promises fill her mind... Some voices urge her to yield, but she refuses to give in. Out of stubbornness, she believes the world is but a symphony of resonating frequencies. Humans may fall to be Tacet Discords, and Tacet Discords may rise again as humans—all are but vessels with no true boundaries.
???:
Phrolova, when this piece is truly complete, I'll come back.
???:
Is that a promise?
???:
Yes. No matter where I am, I'll return.
???:
Every promise matters. Once I make one, I'll see it through, no matter the cost.
Welcoming Neighbor:
Phrolova, don't forget! We're off to the neighboring city tomorrow!
Curious Audience:
Phrolova, could you tell us the story behind that tune you're conducting?
Close Friend:
Phrolova, we made a promise. Friends forever, through thick and thin. Neither of us will ever leave the other behind.
Pessimistic Scholar:
Phrolova, Reverberations from human death are destined to disperse or distort. If they become Tacet Discords, they're no longer human.
Phrolova:
What I couldn't do back then… I can make happen now...
Phrolova:
Your bones will no longer be marrowless. Your blood will no longer be cold...
Distressed Family Member:
Phrolova, keep living… We long to be by your side…
Relieved Tutor:
Phrolova, I've faith that the melody you weave with your baton will change the world one day…
Phrolova:
Yes, it will...
Phrolova:
The world is but a symphony of resonating frequencies. Humans may fall to be Tacet Discords, and Tacet Discords may rise again as humans... There is no divide between us.
Phrolova:
I have long erased that line. So can everyone else.

???:
The stars never blink... The sun never sets...

Phrolova:
(When did {Male=he;Female=she} come?)
Phrolova:
(That chaos clouded my mind. Did I just...)

An explosion blocks off the elevator to the upper floors. Phrolova instead decides to use her ability to amplify the blast, creating a greater shock wave to propel the two of you upward.
Rover:
Did you touch something? What caused the explosion?
Phrolova:
Fenrico tied the music piece to the security system.
Rover:
Heh. He'd blow up all the energy here just to stop us. He's really putting everything into this.
Phrolova:
May he enjoy the music we prepared for him.

Phrolova:
That was precise...

On your way to the Lumen Tower, some interference makes you stray from the correct path. You find yourself in somewhere unknown.
Rover:
We should be landing around the Gem's location, right?
Phrolova:
Correct.
Rover:
From what the Order's pursuers said, Fenrico will have his men guarding it.
Phrolova:
Even the most unpredictable story will one day welcome its conclusion. And when that moment comes, we must act.
Phrolova:
That will also be the time when you can turn your blade against me.

Orchestrate
Rover:
This device looks the same as the ones I saw earlier.
Rover:
We can adjust the water level and get out from the passage above.

Leave the area
Abby:
Hah, that wasn't so tough. See? We made it out.
Rover:
You were about to pass out.
Abby:
No way! Something like that ain't ever taking me down.

Continue onward and find the music sheet
Phrolova:
(Silence. I need silence...)

Continue onward
???:
No, I can't do it... I can wait, but when can we...

???:
When can we leave?

Continue onward

Rover:
Am I orchestrating the right way?
Phrolova:
...You have a talent for it.

Continue onward
Rover:
We can't take the elevator. We need another way up.
Phrolova:
Then let's make the quake spread further, shall we?

You find a piece of sheet music and prepare to meet up with Phrolova, but Abby warns you about her strange frequency. Given the unpredictable dangers of the underwater environment, you tell Abby to return to your Tacet Mark but to stay alert.
Rover:
Here it is. We should bring it back.
Abby:
Back? What do you mean?
Abby:
I don't know what's going on between you two, but maybe you should do this yourself.
Abby:
Her frequency smells… off.
Rover:
Off?
Rover:
It's safer for you to stay in my Tacet Mark and keep watch. This place is unstable, and the Threnodian is still at work.
Abby:
Copy that. Be careful out there.

You return Phrolova her baton, and in turn, she hands you all the sheet music pieces and entrusts you with the Orchestration. Taking the conductor's baton yourself is the only way to believe in what's unfolding in this place and decide how you both will move forward.
Rover:
Here, as we agreed.
You return Phrolova's baton to her.
Rover:
Can you still orchestrate?
Phrolova:
Of course.
After a short deliberation, Phrolova hands you all the music pieces.
Phrolova:
I'll leave the rest of the Orchestration to you.
Phrolova:
"Are the changes here truly coming from the shifts in the melody?"
Phrolova:
"Are there hidden plans woven into these pieces?"
Phrolova:
For all your little doubts...
Phrolova:
Taking the conductor's baton yourself is the only way you'll believe in what's unfolding here.
Phrolova:
And that's how we move forward.
