The Lost Melody
A melody, once scattered to the winds, is now sought by Soliskin who yearn to hear it whole again.
Follow them to a place heavy with memory. Work with the Soliskin to restore the lost "music sheet." If the music returns, the story it holds may finally awaken.

Chu, chuuu! Chulu. Chululu...
Actor No. 1:
Chu...Chuu! Chulu...
Moss clings to the flying-fish statue in the tranquil woods, as if time itself and all the past secrets have settled quietly over them. Before the statue, you notice this...
???:
Chu, chuuu! Chulu~ Chululu...
???:
Chu...Chuu! Chulu...
A Giant Soliskin is murmuring to itself. Its sound is crystalline, carrying a unique quality Soliskin normally never have.
"Chuuu! Chulu..." After a few tries, you finally catch what makes the sound special—
There's a rhythm to it, a kind of pattern. It's almost like… singing.
Rover:
(This is very far from anything humans call "singing.")
Rover:
(And… can a Soliskin even sing?)
The Giant Soliskin suddenly freezes when it notices you, a flustered, nervous look in its wide eyes.
Nervous Giant Soliskin:
Chu?! Chuuu?! Chululu!
Nervous Giant Soliskin:
Chuuuluuu… chu—%#…@lu… chululu…
Tumbling around with its round body, it lets loose a rapid, bubbly stream of "words."
Abby:
Roger, I got you here… Hmm… Should mean this…
Abby:
Hey, don't give me that look! I'm not actually a Soliskin, okay? Of course I can't give you a perfect word-for-word interpretation!
Abby:
But don't worry, you'll get the gist loud and clear!
Abby:
Anyhoo, I'll do my best to tell their stories and feelings in a way you'd understand. Abby's interpreting service is always online for ya!
Abby starts interpreting Soliskin's words simultaneously.
Nervous Giant Soliskin:
"Eek! I-I didn't know someone was here… Huh? You're not that blonde girl—"
Nervous Giant Soliskin:
"W-wait! Y-you didn't hear me singing, did you? Oh no… I was so off-tune…"
Nervous Giant Soliskin:
"Matthew taught me how to sing, but I just can't do it right… No, no, it'll all be fine once everyone finds the Melody again! Nothing to worry about!"
Nervous Giant Soliskin:
"You… you can understand my words?! Yay! You can do this even without a Shepherd nearby—just like Matthew!"
Nervous Giant Soliskin:
"But... you don't give the musician vibes the way he did. Still… it feels calming to have you here. Hmm… I guess I can tell you what happened."
Fa:
"The Melody is a gift Matthew left for me and my friends. We... we don't have much time now."
Fa:
"Before we return to where we should be, we want to see these flying fish soar through the sky again. Just like they did when Matthew was still with us."
Fa:
"Stone? Oh—no, no. They're not statues. They only turned quiet after losing their power for too long. They're part of the woods now."
Fa:
"But Matthew's Melody can resonate with them, strongly enough to awaken them and let them fly again. My friends went out searching for the music pieces… but I haven't seen them in a long time."
Fa:
"Please… can you help me find them? They're Soliskin like me. You'll find them in the places shown in these photos Matthew left."
The Soliskin named Fa hands you three old photos.
Fa:
"Please... I... I think you're trustworthy."
Fa:
...Chu? Chuuu! Chululu?!
As usual, Abby steps in to interpret the Soliskin's chirping.
Fa:
"...Ah, it's you again!"
Fa:
"Y-you're back… Have you made up your mind? My friends still haven't returned yet, or we could've watched how the flying fish soar together."
Fa:
"Really? Th-that's wonderful! I knew I could trust you!"
Fuffy holds out the three old photos once more. This time, you take them from it.
Rover:
(So, now I just have to track down these spots in the photos.)
Rover:
(But... what exactly does this Melody look like?)
Actor No. 1:
Chululu! Chu—&%#￥@—chulu...
Actor No. 1:
Chulululu...Chuuu!
You arrive at the barren field that looks exactly like the spot in one of the photos. A stream of Soliskin cries rushes toward you from afar, and Abby is already interpreting in perfect sync.
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"Shame on you for bullying a poor Soliskin! Stop running and come back—"
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"I spent so much effort restoring that music sheet! How could you—Aaarrghhh! Give it back!"
Rover:
Melody, music sheet… are you Fa's friend?
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"Fa? Yeah! W-wait… you can understand me?!"
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"Yayyy! Please help me! Those lemmings just snatched my music sheet! Please get it back for me!"
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"They're hiding somewhere just up ahead!"
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"THANK YOU SO MUCH!!"
You recover a piece of paper from the lemmings. Though the little Soliskin calls it a music sheet, it has no musical notes, only a scattering of colorful marks.
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"Yes! This is it! You got it back for me!"
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"I've stayed here for so long, trying to remember where the Melody begins!"
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"Of course it is! Matthew said anything that can record Melodies counts as a music sheet!"
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"You see... red, green, red. This is the opening of this Melody…"
As the Soliskin chants the colors in a faint rhyme, something inside you stirs. The pattern resonates like an echo, and with it comes a glimpse of Matthew and the Soliskin's shared past.
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"That was a long, long time ago. Back then, the lemmings here were even peskier, gnawing at everything in sight."
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"Fa and I were running from them nonstop, until—BOOM—we crashed right into a man."
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"That was how we met Matthew. He was standing under a tree, holding a strange little gadget that made beautiful sounds with just a flutter of his fingers."
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"Everything was in chaos, but somehow, his notes cut through all the noise. Even the lemmings went quiet and tilted their heads, like they were trying to listen."
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"That was the first time I learned that sounds could be that beautiful."
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"Later, Matthew helped us chase the lemmings away. He stayed after that, saying the note he accidentally played when we bumped into him had sparked a new idea."
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"He beckoned us over to sit beside him, and he started writing and playing something on that gadget of his."
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"He couldn't understand us, but it didn't matter. We just sat there… quietly listening through the night."
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"The next day, Matthew finally finished the opening. He introduced himself as a traveling musician looking for inspiration, and said he'd stay here for a while."
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"We decided to help him find what he sought… and we also wanted to hear those beautiful sounds again. Maybe even learn how to make them ourselves!"
The little Soliskin lifts its head. Light spills softly from the seams of its body. Its voice turns gentle, almost weightless, as if it's cupping the memory in both hands.
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"Matthew was always a good teacher, but to him, everything we said probably just sounded like 'Chuu' or 'Chulu.'"
Helpless Small Soliskin:
"We couldn't talk to each other, not really… but the Melody let us see the world the same way."
Do:
"For example, the sound Do is red, the same red as the sun and the morning glow. Morning glow is my favorite, so Matthew and my friends just called me Do!"
Do:
"And they—oh no, Fa must be waiting for me! I need to go back and meet them!"
Actor No. 1:
Chulu? Chu... lu... &%#￥@...
Actor No. 1:
...Chuuu? Lululu....
A small Soliskin stands among decorations shaped like musical notes, letting out soft chirping sounds, as if muttering to itself.
Once again, Abby is already interpreting in perfect sync.
Boisterous Small Soliskin:
"Hmm, this should work. I remember Matthew placing them in this exact pattern when we were together…"
Boisterous Small Soliskin:
"Hee-hee, I'm trying to recreate the moment when Matthew taught us to sing the climax of this Melody!"
Boisterous Small Soliskin:
"But now I'm a bit lost… Where was my part again… the sound of Mi…"
Boisterous Small Soliskin:
"Wait—Aaaahhh! Who are you?! When did you show up?! I-I shouldn't have said all that!"
Mi:
"Oh, so you know our plan! You must be the lifesaver Fa found for us! Yay!! Please help me, {Male=Mr.;Female=Miss} Lifesaver! I can't do this alone!"
Mi:
"You know, since we couldn't communicate with Matthew through words, our way of writing music was... well, to stand under the decorations that matched our colors in the correct order, and touch them one by one…"
Mi:
"The correct ones are hidden among all the notes here. If we touched the right one, Matthew would understand our signal and play the matching sound, letting the Melody continue."
Mi:
"But if we got the order wrong, the Melody would stop, and we had to start all over again."
Mi:
"Back then, even though we'd only been with Matthew for a short while, Do and Re always remembered the sequence better than I did. But I kept messing it up, making everyone restart again and again…"
Mi:
"But Matthew never got upset. He would just smile and encourage me: 'It's alright. Try one more time. Melodies can be a little shy, but they'll come out if you call them again.'"
Mi:
"But now… now I'm not sure anymore…"
Mi:
"That's right! Just like the game Matthew used to play with us! Pretty please!"
Mi:
"I remember it now… the climax of this Melody. The sound of Mi is green, the same green as sprouting branches, breathing mountain forests, fresh young leaves…"
The Soliskin fills the empty space on the paper with green marks, as if completing a piece of music that had been scattered and lost.
As it keeps filling in the marks, you seem to catch fleeting glimpses of its time with Matthew.
Mi:
"…It was just like back then."
Mi:
"We tried so many times and only pulled it off once. It was exhausting, but Matthew just watched us with that gentle smile of his."
Mi:
"'We've got to hurry a bit. If we take too long, the flying fish will be too tired to soar,' he joked."
Mi:
"He never got upset. Instead, he slowed the rhythm down even more, guiding us patiently. The Melody drifted through the air like seawater, and with it, we moved as if we were the flying fish themselves."
Mi:
"He taught us how to follow the music's flow until our hearts beat in the same rhythm, a moment that would always stay in my mind."
Mi:
"And when we finally follow the rhythm perfectly, he said, 'That's the sound of green. Little, but steady, like growing grass.'"
Mi:
"So Mi isn't just green. It means growth."
A breeze stirs the grass, filling the air with a soft rustling. In Mi's eyes, the light gathers once more, brightening into a vivid, verdant shade.
Mi:
"Maybe… maybe Matthew was preparing us for the day he'd leave. He really wanted us to learn…"
Mi:
"Not to get trapped in notes and rhythm... Not just to memorize it, but follow the feelings inside. It's about learning to see the 'colors' in each other's eyes."
Mi:
"Thank you for helping me remember what that moment felt like and find the climax of the Melody again."
Mi:
"Then let's search for them together! Trust me, you won't be disappointed!"
The last trace of green light flickers out across the grass. The wind hums a faint "Mi—mi—" before fading into silence.

Lulu... chu... Lulu... chu!
Actor No. 1:
Chuuu... lu... Chuuu... lu!
Once again, Abby is already interpreting in perfect sync.
But in front of you, there's nothing except a Spacetrek Explorer quietly sitting in sleep mode.
???:
"...Eeeeeyaaaa—one more time! You can do this, Re!"
Re:
"That's me! Ah, f-finally, someone's here! Yayyy!!"
Re:
"Hello! I'm down here! Oh… right, you can't actually see me, can you? Umm… I'm under the Spacetrek Explorer!"
Re:
"Well, isn't it obvious? I was trying to find the rhythm of Re and, um, ran into this tiny, teeny problem…"
Re:
"He… hehe… Anyway, I have you to help me now! Can you please charge the Explorer with that Zip Zap over there and get me out first? I'll explain everything properly later! Promise!"
Re:
"Uwah! Finally out! One more minute and I would've been flattened into a Soliskin pie!"
Re:
"My friends… Oh, so you already know our plan! I'm trying to recreate the ending of our music sheet, especially the part of 'Re'!"
Re:
"This is where Matthew created that part with us, so I came here hoping I could mark the right sequence and color from memory…"
As it speaks, you seem to catch fleeting glimpses of its time with Matthew.
Re:
"Back then, when Matthew played, he would sometimes pause on purpose, and we had to use our feet to 'fill' the beat back in.
Re:
"He used to say, 'The rhythm isn't mine to play for you. You have to step it out for yourselves.'"
Re:
"Every time he played a key, one of us with the matching color had to move to the right spot and tap the ground. 'Re, re, re—' Just like that. He said I looked just like a string of bouncing light."
Re:
"I was so happy, and thought those days would last forever. Until one day, Matthew told us he'd finished composing the ending."
Re:
"Finished… meant it was over. And that we'd have to say goodbye to each other."
Re:
"Once I realized I might never see him again, I… I couldn't step to the right spot anymore. Something jammed inside me, and the Melody… it became something painful."
Re:
"But Matthew noticed the 'Re' near the ending carried a certain strength, like sparkling currents and flashes of light. To cheer me up, he even brought an Explorer."
Re:
"He tapped the beat with me along the Explorer's blinking lights. 'Re, re, re—' As I watched them flash, it felt like I could keep going again."
The bright pulse flickers across the grass in a steady tempo. Its low hum softens, blending into something warm and gentle.
The Soliskin fills the empty space on the paper with yellow marks, as if completing a piece of music that had been scattered and lost.
Re:
"So I thought… to restore the music sheet properly, maybe I had to use the same method! But the Explorer is too big to be handled all by myself!"
Re:
"Still… the words Matthew said didn't quite make sense to me. But now I think I get a little of it."
Re:
"He said, 'Music fears losing the beat the most. As long as you can link it back, no matter how long the gap is, it's not truly broken.'"
Re:
"So as long as the Melody can sound again someday, our bond won't disappear. We just need to be patient."
Re:
"Right. Before we parted, Matthew took us to the high place where the flying fish lived. He wanted us to see how the Melody we made together drifted on the wind, and how it lifted those flying fish into the sky."
Re:
"He also left the music we need to restore in the places filled with our memories."
Re:
"The wind will scatter beats, scatter sounds… but it will also piece them together again, and carry them back."
Re:
"And this time, it's our turn to make that happen!"
Re:
"Everyone! Look at this! I brought the ending part of the music sheet!"
Fa:
"You two took forever! I was worried sick!"
Re:
"Hehe, sorry about that!"
Do:
"Alright, alright. Keep your voice down, or you'll startle the wind."
Fa:
"Never mind. I'm just so glad you all came back safe… thanks to this, um…"
Do:
"So what should we do now? Maybe… put the music sheets together?"
Mi:
"Mmm-hmm. The opening, the climax, and the ending. Once we fit them together, we can sing the whole song! Can you hit the right keys for us, Rover? Let's do it together!"
Do:
"The red Do!"
Re:
"The yellow Re!"
Mi:
"The green Mi!"
Fa:
"The blue Fa!"
You piece together the three parts of the music sheet the Soliskin restored, forming the full Melody and its color sequence.
Re:
"We sing, you play! The song begins whenever you're ready!"
Fa:
"Look! They're really listening to our song!"
Do:
"Then keep it going. Keep singing!"
Fa:
"This Melody… It feels so warm."
Do:
"If Matthew could hear it now, he'd be so happy!"
Re:
"Just like we are right now!"
Mi:
"Matthew once told us that when all the colors finally come together again, the wind would whisper this Melody's name to us."
Re:
"Yes, this is the song of Friendship."
Lynae:
Rover? What are you doing out here… Wait, those Jeyrays flying around…
Lynae:
Don't tell me you did all that?
Lynae:
Fa? Uh… not sure who that is, but "blonde girl" definitely tracks.
Lynae:
I've been here a few times, you know. The Jeyrays were always just stone. Every now and then I'd see a couple of Soliskin hanging around, chirping like they were dying to talk. But without a Shepherd, I couldn't do anything except watch them go "chulu-chulu" at me.
Lynae:
So this time I came prepared! I snuck this out of the Academy lab. Ta-da, the prototype Soliskin Translator!
Lynae:
I figured maybe I'd finally get to chat with these little ones… but looks like I'm a bit too late.
Lynae:
That beautiful music, the Jetrays flying again… Someone must have cracked the puzzle, huh?
Lynae:
Sounds like there's a lot to unpack. How about we talk it through… while riding on one of them?
Lynae:
Oh come on, it'd be perfect! When else do you get to sit on a Jetray while swapping stories?
Lynae:
By the way, I brought some spray paint with me. Think our flying friend would let me give it a brighter look?
Lynae:
Haha, you think so? Then I'd wait for the right moment to ask.
Lynae:
Alright, alright, I'll quit messing with you.
Lynae:
Now, let's go somewhere closer to the sky and the winds. You can tell me everything about your adventure with the Soliskin and the whole friendship story all the way up.
You fail to find the correct notes in the right sequence.
Rover:
(I've already checked every spot from those photos. The music sheet is also complete now.)
Rover:
(Time to head back to the stone flying fish and listen to the Soliskin's song.)
Fa:
"Thank you for helping the flying fish soar once more, Rover!"
Mi:
"Before we say goodbye, please take this. It's the precious song we all made together!"
Re:
"Matthew taught us the meaning of Friendship, and after performing this Melody with you—"
Do:
"You're our good friend now, too!"
