After taking refuge inside Alba's home, Gran and company listen to Lejos reveal his true identity. To their surprise, Lejos is actually Selka, his younger sister who took on his identity after his passing. Alba then divulges she was Lejos's partner on the Philos Institute disciplinary committee—she was the one Lejos sacrificed himself for. More surprises come when Hailak shows up and explains that he was once Alba's classmate at Philos.
Thanks to Alba, Gran and company make it to safety after breaking Lejos out of Central Theater.
They take refuge in Alba's home to rest and recuperate.
Alba
Sorry. It's a tight squeeze in here, living by myself and all.
Alba
And don't even think about peeking into that other room, okay? A girl needs her privacy!
Lyria
I'm sorry for all the trouble. First you rescued us from soldiers, and now you're letting us stay in your house...
Alba
Nah, it's fine. I can't let you guys hang out to dry.
Alba
Besides...
Lejos
...
Alba
Actually... let me go put on a pot of tea! You guys relax and make yourselves at home!
Alba clearly wants to speak with Lejos, but she decides against it for now and disappears into the kitchen.
The others make good on Alba's hospitality. They stretch out on the floor and calmly address the elephant in the room.
Lejos
I... I need to apologize to you, Gran.
Dialogue Option
Will you tell us everything?
Lejos
Yeah, I plan to. I can't hide anything anymore.
Dialogue Option
Tell us what you're comfortable with.
Lejos
Thanks. But I think I need to spill everything.
Unsure where to begin given the amount of secrets, Lejos stumbles to find a starting point.
Lejos
Hm... How should I approach this...
Vyrn
How about telling us who you really are?
Vyrn
Back at Central Theater, I'm pretty sure I heard the lady call you Selka.
Selka
Yeah... Because I am Selka. Lejos's little sister.
Selka
My brother... no longer exists in these skies.
Lyria
You mean the incident at Philos Institute?
Selka
Yep. Lejos was on the disciplinary committee.
Selka
During a battle against monsters, he fell from Magmell. That was the day he ceased to exist.
Lyria
Then from the first time we met you, it's always been...
Selka
Me, Selka. I'm sorry I lied to you all.
Vyrn
Why did you do it?
Selka
It's scary being alone. My brother and I had always been together.
Selka
When he was there with me, I wasn't scared of anything. But he's gone now—somewhere far, far away.
Selka
There was only one thing I could do: become my brother. That was the only way we could stay together.
The crew listens attentively to the steady drip of information.
Selka
I'm not a people person. I feel like I made it this far in life only because I had Lejos.
Selka
If I'm being honest, I think he's more important to me than I am to myself.
Selka
I had no idea how to talk to people or behave around them.
Selka
With Brother gone, it felt like if I didn't pretend to be him—by putting on his mask, so to speak—I'd never be able to do anything on my own.
Vyrn
But that's not really a good thing, is it?
Selka
No, it isn't. But to me, my brother meant everything.
Selka
Nothing could fill the hole he left when he disappeared.
Hearing the strain in Selka's voice, the crew opts not to push further and asks about something else.
Lyria
There was a woman with the White Knight. Amar, I think?
Lyria
She's the viceroy of Libertaria Island, right?
Lyria
It kind of seemed like you both knew each other...
Selka
She's my mother. Our mother—Lejos and mine.
Selka
My father died in a different skydom before we were born.
Alba
A viceroy's kid, huh... Yeah, I knew something was up.
All heads turn to the interjecting voice. It's Alba, coming over with a tray of tea cups.
Alba
Sorry to eavesdrop. Not only is my place small, but the walls are real thin too. I overheard pretty much everything.
Alba
On the other hand, I do have my own part in this story.
Vyrn
Oh yeah, you did a double take when you saw Lejos. Well, not Lejos, but Selka as Lejos.
Alba
Sure did. Imagine my shock bumping into an old friend who has apparently joined a resistance group and is being chased by the military.
Alba
Which should be impossible considering I saw Lejos's final moments.
Lyria
Huh? So you're...
Alba
Lejos's mentor. When we were at Philos, he was a first-year, and I was a sixth-year.
Alba
I was assigned to show him the ropes when he first joined the disciplinary committee.
Alba
But one day I screwed up bad, and Lejos took an attack for me.
Alba hangs her head in shame, finding it difficult to speak.
Alba
I blame myself for Lejos's death.
Selka
...
Alba
I'm sorry, Selka. I know an apology isn't going to magically make everything better.
Alba
But you deserve to know my side of the story too.
Selka
Alba...
No one can find the words to follow up Alba's confession. Finally, someone from the hallway pipes up.
Hailak
I knew about your guilt. Despite the front you put up, it never left your mind.
Hailak
The fact that you ended working on Libertaria Island is proof positive of your remorse. Please stop blaming yourself.
Vyrn
Yikes! It's that guy from the Istavion army!
Alba
Hailak?
Alba
Ah, duh. Why am I acting surprised? Of course you joined the military.
Lyria
Um, do you know him, Alba?
Hailak
First, let me clear the air. There are troops waiting on stand-by not far from here, but I haven't told them about your house.
Hailak
I came to talk, both as a former classmate of Alba's and as a former disciplinary member.
Astonishing revelations of the past continue to be unveiled in front of the stunned crew.
However, the unraveling coils of history are by no means mere coincidence.
