Lyria and Orchis describe Yggdrasil's current state—overloaded with dark essence and on the verge of collapse. The crew grows even more impatient to return to Lumacie.
Katalina
Let's get started. First we should focus on the foe we need to overcome.
Katalina
It's a primal beast awakened with dark essence. Well, at this point, perhaps calling it a primal beast is not really fitting.
Katalina
Anyway, in order to save Rosetta and the Black Knight, we'll need a strategy to defeat Malice.
Eugen
It was a monster with unbelievable strength. But what made it like that?
Lyria
Rosetta said that Yggdrasil's core was overloaded with the dark essence's power...
Rackam
In other words, that essence stuff is making the primal stronger, eh?
Lyria
Yes... But she said one more thing.
Lyria
That the primal's on the brink of collapse.
Lyria
I think Yggdrasil was filled with too much power, and now it's ripping her apart.
Orchis
I'm sorry...
Katalina
Hm? What's this so suddenly?
Orchis
If only I hadn't awakened it... If only it had stayed asleep...
Orchis
Then Yggdrasil would never have been through any of this.
Lyria
...
Katalina
You're right... Then we'll just have to go and apologize to her, won't we?
Orchis
Huh?
Katalina
Orchis. If that's how you feel, then we ought to apologize. Don't you think so?
Katalina
Let's go back to Lumacie and let Yggdrasil know how sorry we are.
Orchis
O-okay!
Katalina
Hehe. I guess that's just one more reason we have to return.
Eugen
Aye. So no sense lollygaggin'! Let's get on with it!
The crew ponders what Rosetta meant when she said that Vyrn was the key to saving Yggdrasil. They set a course for Amalthea Island to ask the Crew of Enforcers for any information they may be willing to share.
Rackam
So how are we supposed to fight it?
Rackam
I guess we should find its corrupted core thing, right?
Io
Yeah, but no matter how we approach it, we'll get attacked before we can get to its core.
Lyria
Umm... Not to mention it seemed like Yggdrasil had already absorbed all of the dark essence's power.
Lyria
So we might have to separate it from her somehow...
Eugen
Can't you or Orchis do somethin' like that with your powers?
Orchis
I don't know. I've never done it before.
Katalina
Come to think of it... When Rosetta told you that she thought you could save the primal, did it sound like she was passing on a message of some sort?
Vyrn
About that... I've been thinkin' about it ever since we left Lumacie...
Vyrn
But I just don't get it. What was Rosetta really trying to tell me?
Rackam
In other words... You've got no idea what Rosetta meant?
Vyrn
No, that's not quite it...
Vyrn
The truth is... I don't remember anything that happened before Gran's dad picked me up.
Vyrn
So it's possible that... Maybe before I lost my memories, I was—
Dialogue Option
Probably a lizard.
Vyrn
Wha! We've already been over this a thousand times!
Vyrn
Quit messin' with me while I'm tryin' to have a serious conversation!
Katalina
Look, everyone! In either case, we'll have to gather more information about Vyrn's origins.
Rackam
Research, eh? In that case, we should pay a visit to—
Dialogue Option
A country with a long history
Orchis
A country with a long history... Like Erste?
Katalina
It is true that Erste's history stretches back to before the War.
Eugen
But headin' there now would be like jumpin' out of the pan and into the fire.
Io
Ah! What if we visited the Crew of Enforcers?
Io
They seem like they'd have a lot of info, and they're basically good people, so I bet they'd help us!
Rackam
The Crew of Enforcers, eh? Not a bad idea at all!
Katalina
Agreed. Besides, I bet the Crew of Enforcers has taken an interest in the empire's actions.
Io
Not sure if I would call them all of the empire's actions... More like just the prime minister's...
Rackam
Then our destination is decided! Full speed ahead to Amalthea Island and the Crew of Enforcers!
As the crew heads for Amalthea Island, Monika sits alone in a jail cell.
Gran and the crew are heading toward Amalthea Island.
But at their destination, in a jail cell located in the Fourth Hall of the Crew of Enforcers' base, Monika sits alone.
Monika
...
Monika
(Lecia... You better not overdo it.)
Monika
(Because, right now, you're our last remaining hope.)
