Camellya:
Aha, you're finally here.
Camellya:
It's been a while, my sweet seed of fate.
Camellya:
Are you here for the flowers? Perfect timing. They're about to bloom.
Camellya:
Consultants roam all across Solaris, and when they return, they always bring rare flower seeds as souvenirs.
Camellya:
Nah-uh, I just enjoy planting them.
Camellya:
Watching them grow, waiting for them to bloom—you know, waiting makes the fruits so much sweeter.
Camellya:
Of course, I have my own special seed.
Camellya:
Every day, I'm consumed by the urge to see it thrive, trembling with excitement for its bloom, the soft touch of petals unfolding in my palm... This feeling… I can't wait to make it mine!
Camellya:
Hehe, it's the best thing ever to watch and protect it as its breeder.
Camellya:
Just a little fun of mine. Well, how's it going, Rover? Enjoying your time here?
Camellya:
I heard you got the Shorekeeper and all of us out of a huge mess, huh?
Camellya:
Hehe, I expected as much. You've shown great potential since you arrived in Jinzhou.
Camellya:
Didn't know the Shorekeeper would entrust a newcomer with such important tasks... She trusts you. A lot.
Camellya:
You are…
Beatrice:
Hey, Rover. It's Beatrice. Remember me from the Error Cell?
Beatrice:
I hate to ask, but could you come back to the Error Cell?
Rover:
What happened?
Beatrice:
We've run into some trouble, and honestly, you're the only one the Shorekeeper trusts to handle it.
Beatrice:
I'll explain everything when you get here.
Beatrice:
Thanks a lot! And don't worry, there'll be a reward for you.
Camellya:
"Oh, congratulations, {Male=Mr.;Female=Ms.} Popularity!" Whatever…
Camellya:
If only you could be mine… I'd root you in my garden, where only I could savor your sweet, robust vitality… Hehe, just kidding. Hope you don't mind.
Camellya:
…How strange.
Camellya:
I've felt this way before…
Camellya:
Hehe, interesting.
Rover:
I guess I have no choice but to catch up with Camellya first.
After catching up with Camellya, she reveals that she is Lady Flora, but like you, she has lost her memories. She appears indifferent to everything except you and proposes a game in exchange for handing over Flora's items.
Camellya:
Oh, you're quick! I knew you wouldn't keep me waiting.
Rover:
Were you following me?
Camellya:
Yeah, is that a problem?
Camellya:
I followed you to the cell on a whim. Then I heard something interesting.
Camellya:
Plus, this thing is just finding its way back to its owner. I see no wrong in that.
Rover:
To its owner… Are you that "Lady Flora"?
Camellya:
Yes and no.
Camellya:
Just like you, I've completely forgotten about the past! All of it! So, I guess I'm not the Lady Flora you're looking for.
Camellya:
Of course, I did some digging, but… a little accident stopped me.
Rover:
(If Camellya is Lady Flora, then we were supposed to be close, but neither of us remembers…)
Rover:
(The fact that I used to be the leader... This should only be known to the Shorekeeper.)
Rover:
(Maybe I shouldn't mention it to Camellya until I'm sure she's not a threat.)
Camellya:
Rover, if you want to use that trinket to find the problematic matrix, then play with me! Entertain me, and I'll help you.
Camellya:
Since you handled the Threnodian, a little game of battle shouldn't be too much trouble for you, right?
Camellya:
As a Bloom Bearer, I need to pick the perfect seeds for the Black Shores and give them my utmost care.
Camellya:
All these years, I haven't met anyone intriguing—not one person!
Camellya:
You're MY seed of fate. If I let you go so easily, all my efforts, my yearning, my hunger will not be satisfied.
Camellya:
If you get taken or killed by somebody else...
Camellya:
...I would be very, very, very unhappy.
Camellya:
Why? It's pure instinct!
Camellya:
Flowers thirst for water; beasts hunger for flesh. It's nature, just like my craving for you.
Camellya:
I want it, and I get it. That's how I live.
Rover:
That fleeing Stellar Matrix might affect the Necrostar’s functioning. Worse, it could threaten the Black Shores.
Camellya:
So? I don't care! If this island's gonna blow up, so be it. Unless, of course, it ruins my fun.
Rover:
…
Camellya:
Are you angry? Hehe, your anger is sooo delicious…
Camellya:
Fight me. I can't wait to see who'll be the winner. I've been itching to get a taste of your blade.
Camellya:
Hahahaha! Fantastic! Let's get started!
Camellya enjoyed the game and gives you the bracelet as promised. Recognizing that her help is vital to resolving the current crisis, you ask her to stay. Camellya finds your assertiveness intriguing and agrees to help. In a discussion about self and her lost memories, Camellya claims her instincts define who she is. To gather more of Lady Flora's items, you decide to split up.
Camellya:
What a show. You never disappoint me. With you around, the days ahead will be so much fun.
Camellya:
The game's over. Here you go, the thing I promised you. Let's keep going, my hero~
Rover:
The info in that matrix is related to you. With you by my side, I should be able to locate and capture it faster.
Camellya:
Hehe, alright. So...?
Rover:
We need to solve this accident as soon as possible, and you promised to help if I played the game with you.
Camellya:
Haha! Guess I have no other choice, huh?
Camellya:
...Well, it's lovely to see you being a little pushy too! I like your serious side. Sure, I'll go.
Rover:
What else do you know about Lady Flora? You said a small accident happened during your investigation...
Camellya:
Yeah, ended up stuck in a boring medical pod for half a month and almost died from severe Overclocking.
Camellya:
Sure, it's no big deal, since I survived.
Camellya:
Hmm... My memories were sealed by Lady Flora somehow. No matter how much I try to recall, it doesn't work.
Camellya:
I only remember waking up in a cave, my mind completely blank. Drifted aimlessly for years, until I stumbled upon the Black Shores.
Camellya:
And guess what? Turns out I had lived here before! Naturally, I wanted to investigate further and figure it out.
Camellya:
So that's what I did. I'm sure I uncovered the truth behind my memory loss, but… when I woke up in the medical pod again, I'd forgotten everything.
Camellya:
Guess somehow I almost died from Overclocking when I learned about my past, and I had to seal my memories away again. That's pretty much what happened, I think?
Camellya:
I still don't know why Lady Flora did that though... Well, I don't really care. I can have fun with or without those memories.
Rover:
It doesn't sound like you're talking about your past self.
Camellya:
Hello~? Are you listening? Told you I remember nothing, so... Lady Flora is more like a stranger to me.
Camellya:
It's like watching a movie. No matter how happy or sad the story is, it's someone else's story, after all.
Camellya:
Don't you feel the same? Tell me, what was on your mind when you witnessed those stories, staring at every frame on the screen?
Camellya:
Haha, you don't care, do you? I knew we think alike.
Camellya:
Anyway, I'll trust my instincts over some distant memories.
Camellya:
As long as my instincts remain, I'm still "me."
Camellya:
Yeah, and what's wrong with that?
Camellya:
My instincts rule me, and I rule them. I feel great joy when they are fulfilled, and when I ignore them, I suffer in return.
Camellya:
They guide me like how duty and responsiblity guides you... Who says one is better than the other?
Camellya:
Hehe, let's drop this boring discussion. Shall we split up to find the other stuff?
Rover:
Sure. Whoever finds it first will go meet up with the other.
Camellya:
Ooh, then it's a competition—I'm in! Let the search begin!
You continue searching and find a forsaken Blake Bloom in a cave.
Rover:
This Blake Bloom is…
Camellya:
While you were handling the troubles at the Black Shores, I was stuck in a medical pod and missed the whole show.
Camellya:
What a pity I couldn't witness it in person… Show me. Your blade, your strength.
Camellya:
Hehe, you should always stay focused in a game.
Camellya:
{Male=He's;Female=She's} sooo slow. Hehe, looks like I'm gonna win.
Camellya:
Ah, I can sense my prey deep inside. So many of them…
Camellya:
How wonderful.
Camellya:
Pathetic! Get out of my way, you weaklings!
Camellya:
Hehe, finally, something that gets my blood pumping.
Camellya:
Hahaha!
Camellya:
Good, good. Please me! Delight me! Entertain me!
Camellya:
Oh yes, that's what I want! Keep struggling! MORE!
Camellya shows signs of Overclocking from battle, yet she appears unconcerned. She is accustomed to enduring pain and explains that savoring each present moment is her way of coping.
From the Blake Bloom's frequency, you discover that Lady Flora disappeared around the same time as the Black Shores leader. With enough items gathered, you head to the Modulation Hall.
Camellya:
Ah... Wonderful…
Camellya:
The way you fought really makes my heart race… Such power, such vitality…
Camellya:
Ugh, I wish I were the one dancing this deadly, bloody, beautiful waltz with you…
Rover:
…I wanted to help you up.
Camellya:
Hehe, I know. I was just overwhelmed with joy… Cough! Ugh…
Rover:
You're on the edge of Overclocking. And you were in a medical pod before... Does this happen often?
Camellya:
Yeah. Oh, are you worried about me?
Camellya:
Aww, you're sooo sweet. I'm almost blushing.
Camellya:
And I'm good at dancing on the edge. I won't let myself Overclock that easily. But if it does happen… I'll just accept it as my fate.
Rover:
It's very dangerous. You know the risks, right?
Camellya:
Of course I do. But once severe Overclocking symptoms appear, they can't be cured, can they?
Camellya:
And I'm happy!
Camellya:
It's been a blast competing and taking down those Tacet Discords with you... That's all I need to have a good time.
Camellya:
If one day I die from Overclocking, so be it! The Black Shores will make sure there's no Tacet Field generated from me.
Camellya:
I've always followed my instincts, ignored anything that didn't interest me. No regrets, even if I died now.
Camellya:
Carpe diem, enjoy the moment… Life is boring if you're stuck in the past or consumed by the future.
Camellya:
Anyway, what have you found? I got a stack of damaged photos. To locate that Stellar Matrix, we'll need three or four items tops.
Camellya:
The remaining frequencies... Yes, it belongs to Lady Flora.
Camellya:
It's been almost 20 years since the last frequencies were recorded.
Camellya:
Blake Blooms represent a Bloom Bearer's identity. They always have one on them. These frequencies can help us track Lady Flora's last activity.
Camellya:
She and the leader of Black Shores vanished at the same time, no longer appearing in records.
Rover:
(Around the same time? The two cases might be connected...)
Camellya:
Oh, right. I just remembered what that strange feeling I had earlier was.
Camellya:
When I saw you in Jinzhou... It felt as if I'd seen you somewhere else before.
Camellya:
Anyway, have you told Beatrice that we're ready?
Beatrice:
How impressive, Rover! That's fast!
Beatrice:
Please head to the Modulation Hall. I'll meet you there.
Camellya:
The fresh, pulsating despair from my enemies is always delightful...
Camellya:
Found you!
Rover:
Something's on the ground? I need to check it out.
Rover:
Another camellia... She's never tired of these little games.
At the Hall of Foreign Affairs, you discover that Camellya has already taken Lady Flora's belongings. Now, you must find Camellya.
Black Shores Member:
Hello, Rover, what brings you here?
Black Shores Member:
Oh? But Lady Flora's item was already picked up by another Bloom Bearer.
Rover:
Who took it?
Camellya:
You looking for me?
Camellya:
Hehe, if you want it, try to catch me!
After Beatrice completes the modulation, you and Camellya dive into the stars to locate the escaped Stellar Matrix.
Beatrice:
Rover, please give me the things you just found… Oh, you want to come along, Camellya?
Camellya:
Rover begged me to go with {Male=him;Female=her}, and it looked fun, so I agreed.
Beatrice:
Well, that's rare. The Camellya I know was only interested in going out to find candidates.
Beatrice:
Rover, kudos to you for being able to get her to cooperate with you. Awesome.
Beatrice:
Yeah, normally, Camellya doesn't seem to care about anything.
Beatrice:
With Camellya on this mission with you, you should be safer.
Beatrice:
Don't worry. I'll be keeping a close eye on you.
You hand the three items to Beatrice. She records the information and then returns them to you.
Beatrice:
Hold on. I need some time to process the data. Once that's done, you can dive into the Stellar Matrix with our portal.
Camellya:
Past, present, future… All the possibilities in the universe change within this swirling starry sky.
Camellya:
I'm starting to get a bit interested~! What kind of "me" is hidden in there?
Camellya:
Let's go, Rover. A new adventure awaits.
Upon crossing the Stargate, you find yourself in a simulated Black Shores from many years ago. There, you encounter a nervous robot, KU-Riri, who tells you that Lady Flora is Overclocking and has fled her medical pod to hide in a nearby room. This suggests you are not in the correct juncture, but rather a distorted version of history.
(KU-Riri is pacing back and forth, seemingly eager to say something.)
KU-Riri:
Master, the Overclocked Resonator known as "Lady Flora" has breached containment and left her medical pod.
KU-Riri:
The target is currently located in… located…
KU-Riri:
Target is in the room ahead. Your need to calm her down and transfer her back to the medical pod.
KU-Riri:
"Lady Flora" is dangerous—her mind and language skills are impaired, making her prone to reckless behavior. She is a threat to the Black Shores' internal facilities.
KU-Riri:
As for the other residents of Petalfall Village, we have confirmed that they have all perished.
KU-Riri:
We couldn't save them in time. The situation worsened too quickly after we received the unusual signal until you arrived.
Rover:
(The previous recording mentioned a few survivors from the Tacet Discord Outbreak, but in this Petalfall Village, everyone perished except for Camellya.)
Rover:
(The situation here seems to differ from my timeline.)
KU-Riri:
Two weeks ago.
KU-Riri:
Master, master, m-master...
KU-Riri:
Please calm her down as soon as possible. Prolonged Overclocking will put greater strain on her body.
KU-Riri turns and looks at the door a short distance away.
You find Lady Flora covered in vines, struggling against her Overclocking. As her condition eases, she gazes at you with a faint smile and offers you a flower.
Camellya:
…
Camellya:
It's you…
Camellya:
Restraints… I… AHHHHHH!
Camellya:
Voices… so many noises…!
Camellya:
It... hurts...
Camellya:
My head… My whole body... hurts...
Camellya:
Petalfall Village…
Camellya:
I see… Ah, it's over…
Camellya:
You… defeated… me.
Camellya:
I seem to… have seen you… much earlier…
Camellya:
This… is...
Camellya:
…for you.
Rover:
Camellya disappeared… So, does that gate lead to a new juncture?
Rover:
Lady Flora once Overclocked so much that her mind was heavily damaged, and her language abilities degenerated… Then, the Camellya I know…
Crossing the Stargate again, you meet another version of Lady Flora at the Black Shores. Unlike the previous Lady Flora, she appears healthy and slightly bashful, yet her admiration for you remains unchanged. She mentions that meeting you feels familiar.
Thanks to your timely arrival, Petalfall Village has survived the disaster in this juncture, even though that is not how it truly happened. Like she did before, Lady Flora smiles and offers you a flower.
Camellya:
It's really you!
Camellya:
Heard I can find the Black Shores here. Glad I didn't come to the wrong place.
Camellya:
I'm Camellya. Or call me "Lady Flora" if you want. People from Petalfall Village like to call me that.
Camellya:
You left in such a hurry. We didn't even get a chance to talk.
Camellya:
I felt... off, like I missed out on something important, so I came here alone to find you.
Rover:
How's the situation in Petalfall Village?
Camellya:
The injured have been transferred to other nearby villages. Most of the villagers are safe and sound, thanks to your timely rescue.
Rover:
(Most of the villagers are safe… and with the way Camellya looks now… It seems I'm in an alternate timeline again.)
Rover:
(But even if the history is changed, we still met each other.)
Camellya:
You're the Black Shores leader, aren't you?
Camellya:
Yes.
Camellya:
I-I snuck in here, but please don't drive me out! I have my own Forte now! I can work for you.
Camellya:
I… don't know.
Camellya:
Those Consultants said my Rabelle's Test showed I awakened my Forte. But in the village, I didn't feel anything special.
Camellya:
… And I don't remember anything before coming to the village.
Camellya:
Yes, villagers said I appeared in the woods by their lake one autumn morning.
Camellya:
That's all I remember. Didn't have anywhere else to go, so I stayed in that village.
Camellya:
Can I stay with you here? At the Black Shores? I-I want to serve you. Make me your Bloom Bearer.
Camellya:
Hmm…
Rover:
Join us if you pass the assessment. The Black Shores welcomes those who protect the world.
Camellya:
Great! But... I-I still don't know your name. Tell me, please?
Camellya:
Ah... It's a beautiful name. I'll never forget it.
Camellya:
I'm so happy, really, really happy that my vines feel so light…
Camellya:
How strange... This is our first formal conversation, but...
Camellya:
It feels like I had heard your name before...
Camellya:
Look, this is my Forte. I quite like it.
Camellya:
I want to shadow you, see how a strong person like you moves forward.
Camellya:
This flower... is for you. I'm looking forward to the days ahead.
Rover:
These Tacet Discords… The Stellar Matrix must've noticed us. It's trying to hold me back.
Rover:
Camellya is trapped deep inside... She must be in danger now. I need to find the correct juncture fast.
After passing through the Stargate for the third time, you finally reach the correct timeline juncture.
The Lady Flora you meet resembles Camellya in the real world and, like the others, she does not hide her feelings for you.
Camellya:
Oh? It's you.
Camellya:
Done with the work? You should get some rest.
Camellya:
I've been super well-behaved these past few days! Did everything as you said! Didn't cause any trouble or go to places I shouldn't!
KU-Riri:
KU-Riri reporting in! The infrastructure damage in Petalfall Village is severe. The rebuilding will be difficult in the short term, and it requires reassessment…
Camellya:
You need some discipline, robot. How dare you interrupt my conversation with {Male=him;Female=her}?
Camellya:
You wanna know the situation in Petalfall Village? I can tell you. I was there, remember?
Camellya:
It's been… a few months since the Tacet Discords attacked the village.
Camellya:
I turned into a flower tree due to Overclocking and trapped those feeble creatures in an underground cave.
Rover:
(KU-Riri's recording mentioned that Camellya was found in an underground cave. Looks like this time, I jumped to the right juncture.)
Camellya:
Oh, I threw them out of the village when I started transforming. They would have died if they stayed.
Camellya:
Not many survived, but some did. They managed to hold on until you showed up, and they guided you to find me.
Camellya:
What a surprise. Thought they'd run away when I threw them out.
Camellya:
I have no interest in those crybabies… but since they took me in for a while, I owed them a favor.
Camellya:
Hahaha! That's a cute way to put it.
Camellya:
What? I'm speaking from my heart. I don't wanna spare a glance at those weaklings.
Camellya:
I despise weaklings. Myself included. I was a sorry sap when I turned into that plant!
Camellya:
But you saved me. You pulled me out of Overclocking and brought me back to sanity. I should thank you.
Camellya:
I don't remember anything before I arrived in that village. I don't care anyway. You're the only one who's ever made me feel so excited.
Camellya:
So, how about making me your Bloom Bearer? You see... who else can keep me from causing trouble elsewhere?
Camellya:
Right? Making me yours exactly aligns with the interests of Solaris, and as you just said, would make the world a safer place.
Camellya:
Just so you know, when I was doing the Rabelle test, the staff said I'm still prone to Overclocking.
Camellya:
I may have great power now, but I might lose it or fall prey to my emotions again someday.
Camellya:
If that day comes, then… I'll embrace it as my destiny! Fate's already brought us together, and I'll pay any cost for that.
Camellya:
It's led me to the most exquisite flower in this world. I'll give anything for it, no hesitation!
Camellya:
Did you know? Climbing plants are obsessed with big, gorgeous trees. Clinging onto them like their life depends on it, sucking up all the energy they can get from the sun.
Camellya:
They're driven by an insatiable hunger to savor their beloved tree, down to the last bit.
Camellya:
One day, we'll have plenty of time together. You can definitely, rigorously... train me!
Camellya:
This flower is for you, to express my…
Beatrice:
It's the correct timeline juncture. Initiating jump now!
Rover:
It's locked... So Camellya, in her Overclocked state, damaged the locked door's security system, when her mind was unclear?
Rover:
I need to restore the security system first.
Rover:
I'm... back on the surface of the Black Shores island?
Rover:
I should go look around.
KU-Riri:
Master, master, m-master...
Rover:
The mutated plants have grown so large… Camellya in this timeline has severely Overclocked.
A notebook, a stack of photographs, and a portable water bottle are strewn on the ground. The warmth of the water suggests the owner left only moments ago.
The photos depict various landscapes of the Black Shores, indicating the owner's passion for photography. To your surprise, one of the photos is a candid shot of your own silhouette.
Black Shores Consultant:
This is odd... Where could they be hiding...?
Black Shores Consultant:
Well, a group of newcomers arrived today, but I just got word that there's one more than what was on the list.
Black Shores Consultant:
We're not sure if someone slipped in unnoticed, so we're doing a full sweep of the area.
A malfunctioning screen flickers, displaying a log of recent visitors to the Black Shores.
From the data, you discover that Lady Flora was brought here only recently, and her condition has deteriorated rapidly over the past days.
Debris and broken equipment are scattered across the floor, the aftermath of uncontrolled chaos.
Unlike the composed Camellya you once met in Jinzhou, her current, uncontrolled state has left her struggling to manage her Forte.
Cracked bricks line the room, where massive vines coil through the space, their roots plunging deep into the walls and floor.
As you observe more closely, you notice the vines subtly pulsating, as if they were veins.
With the Stellar Matrices back in order, Camellya invites you to Veiled Rock.
Beatrice:
Welcome back! Glad to see you safely return. Thank you for your hard work.
Camellya:
A Stellar Matrix is no match for us. Easy peasy.
Rover:
Have you received the coordinates?
Beatrice:
Yes, thank you. Leave the rest to us.
Beatrice:
By the way, Camellya, Shorekeeper asked me to remind you. Please use the medical pod in good time.
Camellya:
What? My symptoms are already gone… Alright, I'll go later. She really worries too much.
Camellya:
But she helped keep my bracelet safe too. Heh, I owe her that.
Camellya:
Rover, shall we go?
Camellya:
Hmm, let me think... To the surface. Veiled Rock, the starting point.
Camellya asks you to take a photo of this moment as a way to capture her current feelings.
Camellya:
When I found those photos, I made a decision.
Camellya:
Photos are great for capturing memories. Take some photos of me.
Camellya:
In the past, others recorded us, but now we'll have to do it ourselves.
Camellya:
Consider it... a tangible keepsake.
Camellya:
They last longer than our memories. A moment frozen in frame.
Camellya:
As the Black Shores leader, a small task like this would be a piece of cake for you, I bet?
Camellya:
Rover, stay focused. Don't take your eyes off me!
Camellya:
Looks good. I wanna keep a copy of this too.
Camellya:
Excellent composition. Quite the photographer, aren't you? Hehe…
Once trapped in a labyrinth of memories and possibilities, Camellya has lost much. But now, she tells you she no longer wishes to recover her lost memories, believing the seal left by Lady Flora will naturally break when the time is right.
What matters to her now is enjoying this reunion with you.
Just as she did in previous timeline junctures, Camellya smiles and extends her hand, offering you a flower.
Camellya:
Rover, do you still have that bracelet?
Camellya:
Good. You can keep it, so... a piece of me always stays with you.
Camellya:
Since the past between us is a secret now, consider this bracelet our witness.
Rover:
What exactly is this bracelet…?
Camellya:
Hehe, it's an old one. It was… a gift.
Camellya:
Got it for monitoring my Rabelle spectrum, as an Overclocking warning device.
Camellya:
But I don't really need it anymore. Told you I'll never lose control again.
Camellya:
Except in a special situation like this, in most cases, nothing can even leave a scratch on me.
Camellya:
I hit jackpot finding the matrix. It was a blast! But that's all in the past now.
Camellya:
No, I'm quite happy with things as they are right now. No need to risk opening the floodgates and winding up in another medical pod.
Camellya:
Since Lady Flora—the past me—chose to seal away those memories, I'm fully behind my decision.
Camellya:
As for the memories we used to share, if fate decides to reveal them, they'll resurface naturally as we continue our journey together.
Camellya:
Plus… does it really matter? No, it doesn't!
Camellya:
Fate has already brought us back together.
Camellya:
I bet we'll have more wild stories to share, and more games to play.
Camellya:
No point dwelling on the past. I'd rather live in the moment.
Camellya:
…Speaking of which, I have a question for you.
Camellya:
Rover… Are you happy now? Having lost all memories, living a new life...
Camellya:
Is that so? Good to know. I'm happy too. Every moment dancing with you brings me immense joy!
Camellya:
This is where I first set foot on this island, where everything began. The stars lie beneath our feet, where the Tethys System resides.
Camellya:
Tethys records all data on Solaris, capturing countless possibilities born and fading away.
Camellya:
But in every possible scenario, we always find each other.
Camellya:
All paths in the stars converge towards this single endpoint, so—
Camellya:
The universes where we didn't meet must have all perished! Only this one survived!
Camellya:
If the universe were a flower, then yes…
Camellya:
...This must be the perfect world for a gardener like me.
Camellya:
Ah, the breeze here... It feels so perfect against my skin.
Camellya:
The waves crashing, the light shimmering on the water's surface...
Camellya:
Hehe, don't you think? Maybe we used to sit here like this, together...
Camellya:
Feeling the wind, watching the night unfold before us, again and again...
A corrupted Stellar Matrix has escaped and could endanger the Black Shores. To retrieve it, you seek out the Consultant who previously accessed the Matrix's data.
Beatrice:
Rover, there you are! It's been a while, and you still look great.
Beatrice:
Since you came to the Black Shores, so many unexpected things have happened… Even the Shorekeeper made an appearance.
Beatrice:
Anyway, let's get to the point. Do you remember what the Error Cell is for?
Beatrice:
Great, your memory is as sharp as ever.
Beatrice:
The problem is, one of the "prisoners" has escaped.
Beatrice:
It's headed towards the Necrostar and seems to be trying to go even deeper.
Beatrice:
The Shorekeeper is tied up with modulation and can't leave.
Beatrice:
That's why I need your help to recapture it and prevent any more incidents. You're the best person for the job.
Beatrice:
The escapee is hiding, but we can use the remnants of its data to track it down.
Rover:
(…I think I heard something.)
Beatrice:
What's the matter?
Beatrice:
While investigating, I discovered that a few years ago, a Consultant accessed these data.
Beatrice:
She was out in the field recently and just returned to the Black Shores. You should check in with her first.
Rover:
Alright. I'll call if I get anything.
Beatrice:
Thank you. I'm counting on you!
The Consultant reveals the data was intentionally erased, but it involves the leader of the Black Shores—your past self—and a Bloom Bearer named Lady Flora. You learn that you once saved Lady Flora from Petalfall Village and shared a deep bond, but she vanished twenty years ago.
Black Shores Consultant:
Hello, you must be Rover, right? Beatrice filled me in on what happened.
Black Shores Consultant:
The reason I looked into that Stellar Matrix is because of this little guy I found in the wild.
A small, damaged, and slightly old-looking robot quietly rests at her feet.
Black Shores Consultant:
When I found it, it had been non-functional for a long time.
Black Shores Consultant:
I tried to fix it, but I couldn't salvage much data… I only got this damaged recording:
KU-Riri:
…May: Majority of buildings in Petalfall Village damaged from Tacet Discord invasion. Heavy casualties. Survivors have been transferred…
KU-Riri:
Threat level extremely high according to the Tethys System. The Black Shores leader has decided to handle the issue {Male=himself;Female=herself} and has departed to…
KU-Riri:
(Static)… The village's remaining structures covered by highly mutated plants. Rescuing is difficult. More time needed…
KU-Riri:
A… (static)… was discovered in a deep underground cave. One Overclocked Resonator named 'Lady Flora' was rescued and taken to Black Shores. Biography pending...
KU-Riri:
Rabelle's Curve, this subject tends to enter the Overclocking state… currently stable… (static)…
Rover:
(The Black Shores leader handled the issue {Male=himself;Female=herself}… So I brought this Lady Flora back to the Black Shores?)
Black Shores Consultant:
The recording ends there. I had just joined the Black Shores back then, feeling curious about everything… especially about our leader.
Black Shores Consultant:
Everything about {Male=him;Female=her} was shrouded in mystery, and only a select few had ever met {Male=him;Female=her}.
Black Shores Consultant:
But I didn't give up. I started looking into the other name mentioned in the recording: Lady Flora.
Black Shores Consultant:
The Stellar Matrix you're hunting down contained information about Lady Flora.
Black Shores Consultant:
But… I found nothing. Someone deliberately erased the data, and I'm locked out from any remaining traces.
Black Shores Consultant:
Yeah. That piqued my interest, so I asked—well, pestered—my seniors to see if I could get anything.
Black Shores Consultant:
Lady Flora was said to be very close to the Black Shores leader. They were inseparable and carried out many missions together.
Black Shores Consultant:
Unfortunately, Lady Flora has been missing for nearly two decades…
Rover:
Missing… Seems like I can't use this clue to locate that matrix.
Black Shores Consultant:
Not necessarily. You're a trusted Bloom Bearer of the Shorekeeper, right?
Black Shores Consultant:
The Hall of Foreign Affairs stores a lot of information about the Black Shores personnel. Try your luck there. Maybe you'll find something.
Beatrice informs you that Camellya is still trapped in the Stellar Matrix. To rescue her, you must enter the Matrix once again. Beatrice warns you that multiple jumps might be needed to reach the correct timeline juncture.
Beatrice:
Rover, I'm sorry. That matrix is more cunning than we anticipated… My mistake.
Beatrice:
Camellya is still inside that Stellar Matrix.
Beatrice:
She was trapped inside and started to sink deeper—that's why you couldn't go any further.
Beatrice:
Besides, Camellya has found the matrix core. Without her, it might have escaped again.
Beatrice:
Now, we'll create a symmetrical Stellar Matrix, and that will allow you to reach the previously inaccessible areas.
Beatrice:
There will be various simulated areas. To reach the destination, you need to find and jump to the correct timeline junctures.
Beatrice:
Due to a mutated Stellar Matrix, you may not reach the destination in one go.
Beatrice:
Multiple jumps might be required to get there. Rover, please stay safe!
Camellya:
Shall we head to the Modulation Hall now?
Camellya:
Really? Fine... I'll be a very good girl, waiting patiently for your return, hehe.
Actor No. 1:
Before I passed the assessment, I went ask the Gardeners about some key things we should know.
Actor No. 2:
Wow, you really think ahead, don't you?
Actor No. 1:
So this whole place has been covered in mist... that explains a lot.
Actor No. 1:
So what, just sit here, doing nothing?
Actor No. 2:
Seems like it. The Gardener mentioned someone might've slipped in unnoticed...
Actor No. 1:
So beautiful...
