Talk to Grandma Shirley, an Egla Town local, and the researcher Vanderkolk to unravel the veil of dreams.
Quest List
Grandma Shirley:
Annis, O' Annis… the light in despair, the angel from the mirage…
Grandma Shirley:
Hmm? So, everyone's heard of Annis?
Grandma Shirley:
Annis is the angel sung about in hymns, a gentle light that appears to those lost in despair.
Grandma Shirley:
They take many forms, like someone dear, a flower, a bird… even a jellyfish, sometimes.
Grandma Shirley:
Oh, no, child. Annis is as real as hope itself.
Grandma Shirley:
When someone is in a bind, yet clings to the faintest glimmer of hope, Annis appears in the form of things they're familar with, guiding them out of the tight spot.
Grandma Shirley:
If you're strong enough to hold on, Annis will come to you.
Vanderkolk:
I've conducted over a hundred visits and interviews, traveling between Thessaleo Fells and Egla Town. Finally, I think I have a theory...
Vanderkolk:
It seems that these regions are experiencing a phenomenon—mass hypochondria, if you will.
Vanderkolk:
For example, many people claim to have seen an ancient knight they believe is still alive.
Vanderkolk:
Others speak of an angel named Annis, said to answer the call of those with unbreakable wills. Annis appears in different forms, helping those in dire need.
Vanderkolk:
From the records, she's often seen as a young girl, a flower, a bird… even a jellyfish.
Vanderkolk:
Yet, after combing through records over the past few centuries, I have yet to find any concrete evidence for Annis's existence.
Vanderkolk:
Medically speaking, it seems more likely that these are hallucinations brought on by intense mental strain.
Vanderkolk:
When someone is under severe stress or endures deep trauma, the mind might create an external figure to ease the pain, like a survival mechanism.
Vanderkolk:
Think of the pressures of strained family ties, the toll of years of competition, and hallucinations induced by toxins...
Vanderkolk:
In extreme cases, one's own identity can fragment, conjuring up an imaginary figure.
Vanderkolk:
So, when an entire community is facing intense pressure...
Vanderkolk:
Hmm, but I'd say that angel or not, true salvation lies within ourselves. Don't you agree?
Chloe:
Hi, Rover!
Chloe:
Thanks to you, we're finally back home, safe and sound!
Chloe:
And Jojo's fully recovered, too.
Jojo:
Ms. Rosemary at the Apothecary gave me this special medicine! Just a tiny dab, and the pain's all gone!
Jojo:
She said it was from Ms. Can… something… Oh, I can't remember. Grown-up names are always so hard to keep straight!
Jojo:
Anyway, it's from a very nice lady!
Jojo:
And anyone sick can use it, too! Yay!
Tess:
We survived, but at what cost? Is it a blessing? Or is it just more to carry?
Tess:
Sometimes, I wonder, when life is this heavy, could death be... an easier path?
Donnie:
But if you die, you lose everything. No more chances. No paths ahead.
Donnie:
Besides, as survivors, who are we to say whether the dead found peace?
Donnie:
Just being here, with thoughts and worries and even fears… That's its own kind of happiness.
"Mandra":
I never imagined life could feel this carefree.
"Mandra":
Just look at this vast scenery... It brings much calm to my heart.
"Hebe":
Yeah, I feel the same way. A simple and quiet life. There's a beauty in it.
"Hebe":
We have Cantarella to thank for this peace.
"Mandra":
I feel reassured with her as the head of our family.
"Mandra":
She's… she's everything a Maiden should be, more so than I could ever be. And as the head of Fisalia? She's unmatched.
"Mandra":
For us, I think it's our turn to make the most of the world she saved for us. Let's live every day to its fullest.
"Hebe":
Yes, and let's capture the beauty we find along the way! I'm sure she'll be happy to receive these photos!
