By Moon's Fated Light

After distributing some petals, a Priestess's oration catches your attention. Surprisingly, for a ceremony of such significance, Iuno isn't the one hosting. In fact, she isn't mentioned at all. Dispelling the Dark Tide's miasma, her role in the hunt, everything... The Priestess's oration of the battle attributes all of Iuno's contributions to you. No one seems to find this strange. It's as if all memory of Iuno has been erased from the world.

Your mind swirls with questions, but no answers come. An elder at the camp notices your unease and gently explains that what you're experiencing may be a side-effect of prolonged Dark Tide exposure—hallucinations, confusion, delusions. He reassures you that these symptoms aren't permanent, and simply avoiding the Dark Tide should let you recover. He suggests speaking with Augusta, who went through the Dark Tide alongside you and might offer some clarity.

Knowing how close Augusta and Iuno are, you look to her for confirmation. But what she says shocks you. She believes your memory of "Iuno" is a product of the Whisper's deceptions, a false memory to be resisted. You try to prove Iuno is real by showing her Iuno's Lunarum bracelet. During the hunt, you had tried to return it to Iuno, but she insisted you keep it as a memento. Did she somehow already know she would be forgotten? Just then, light spills from the bracelet to form a specter of Iuno. But Augusta sees nothing at all.

You're unable to accept Iuno's disappearance, but doubt flickers through your mind... Was it all an illusion? Now that even Iuno's last sliver of moonlight fades, your memories are the only proof she ever existed. Abby reassures you that it also remembers everything about Iuno and all the moments you shared. As the only exception left, you refuse to accept this ending. You decide to search Tetragon Temple for any remaining traces of her.

With the Sovereign slain, you attend the victory ceremony by invitation of Ceremonial Officer Bruno. The celebration honors the new Hero of Heroes and those who stood by their side. As part of the celebration's highlight, countless rose petals will be thrown into the air in a shower of glory. You accept Bruno's offer to become the first non-local Rosebearer and distribute petals to your allies in tribute to victory.

Lillibet reveals two important truths. First, Septimont's future is now veiled behind a white barrier. For the first time, none of the Priestesses can see any of Septimont's Auguries. Second, after hearing from Augusta about your unwavering belief in Iuno's existence, she uncovered a single record: a Priestess named Iuno who died three years ago. But death and disappearance cannot both be true. Your lone memory of Iuno has disrupted the causal chain, creating a reality suspended in limbo. Refusing to accept this ending, you resolve to bring Iuno back from the Chaos between life and death, between existence and non-existence, by using the same method that once gave form to Avidius.

The realm of Chaos isn't entered by location, but through a causal "knot," a specific intersection of circumstance and action. You and Lillibet travel to the site of Iuno's recorded death three years ago, but find nothing unusual. Just as doubt begins to creep in, you notice the corrupted moon above. Once again, a trail of moonlight appears, guiding you toward a specter of Iuno—and deeper into the Dark Tide. You don't hesitate. Though uncertain of what you're seeing, Lillibet knows she can no longer stop you. She offers one final piece of advice: "If you find what remains of her in the Chaos, follow her guidance."

You search the crowd, but she's nowhere to be found... A flicker of doubt crosses your mind. Didn't she promise to "meet you in the very end"? Then, under a beam of moonlight, a hand gently taps your shoulder. In that familiar, playful way, Iuno greets you. She's back, whole and real, and she begins to tell you everything—what happened three years ago, and what brought her here now. She explains that as a Priestess, she grew tired of simply watching. She broke free from fate's decree and became the arrow that defied it. Her disappearance was just part of the cost to anchor herself and rewrite what was meant to be. Now, you've given Septimont a future unwritten, and given her one too. As a gift, she gives you the Lunarum bracelet you returned once again. Besides you, the world may still have forgotten her, but she still has her present and her future. And that's enough. As the celebration reaches its peak, Iuno takes your hand and leads you into a glorious shower of petals.

Upon returning from Chaos, you discover some records in Lillibet's Book of Prophecies have been overwritten, proof that what you did made a difference. After hearing the Priestesses in discussion, you're certain that things have changed. They mention a girl with two blue ponytails. Could it be Iuno? Following their suggestion, you step into the celebrating crowd to search for her.
