Dialogue[]

(Enter the gateway)
You feel you body grow heavy, as if you're sinking beneath the water, and finally find yourself in an unfamiliar dream.
Art Manager: Master Zhezhi, have you made any plans for your next painting?
Ah, n-not yet.
Art Manager: If you don't paint, you don't earn! You don't wanna end up broke, do ya?
Art Manager: What about painting... what was it called? Ah, Winter's Serenade in Bloom
I've already painted that one...
I-I want to try something different.
Art Manager: So what? Your clients' preferences are what matter most.
Art Manager: Don't worry, Master Zhezhi! I handpicked you clients and know them like the back of my hand.
Art Manager: That painting was outstandingly popular, I would know.
Art Manager: Trust me. This will be another best-seller!
I-I need to consider it.
Art Manager: Of course. Take your time, Master Zhezhi. Let me know when you've decided.

Zhezhi: Ha... I need a walk. Maybe I'll find some new inspiration.

(Enter the gateway)
Zhezhi: This place...
Zhezhi: It's all so beautiful... I have to capture it.

(Head to the designated location)
Zhezhi: the landscape looks great from this side. It's perfect for planning my painting.
Zhezhi: Waters and mountains rest by the pane, valleys and peaks in the dream remain...
Zhezhi: The composition looks fine, but something's still missing...
Zhezhi: Maybe I should get closer to see the tiny details of the trees and rocks

(Cutscene plays)
(Cutscene ends)

Zhezhi: That place should be close enough.
Zhezhi: Waterlamp, Dewvetch, Pearl Leaf, and Bittberry
Zhezhi: These vibrant plans harmonize exquisitely with the cold stones.

(Talk to strange white cat)
Strange White Cat: Meow-

(Head to the designated location)
Zhezhi: Didn't expect to see Tacet Discords like that here.
Zhezhi: Hmm... They do complete the scene I had in mind.

(After defeat Tacet Discords)
Zhezhi: The details of the stones and trees... I got it.
Zhezhi: I can show this draft to my manager.

(Return to speak with your manager)
Art Manager: Master Zhezhi!
I-I'm no master...
Please, just call me Zhezhi.
Art Manager: Okay, Master Zhezhi! About the painting I mentioned last time...
Here's the draft.
Art Manager: Very well! Let's see!
(Give the draft)
Art Manager: ...
Art Manager: What? What's this?
I had new inspiration.
It's still a draft, but...
Art Manager: Zhezhi, you're a true master! Would a master present a client with a half-finished piece?
Art Manager: Your last painting sold for the highest price at auction! Give the people what they want, that's what I always say.
Art Manager: You just need to paint it again, and I'll make sure it sells well.
Paint it... again?
Art Manager: With all due respect, Master Zhezhi, not everyone will buy whatever you paint.
Art Manager: I've worked so hard to find a few clients who love your style. How can I sell your paintings if you can't cater to their needs?
Art Manager: Please focus on recre—I mean, creating tonight! I won't disturb you. I'll come and pick it up tomorrow.
Art Manager: No more indulging your every creative whim. All I'm asking for is another Winter's Serenade in Bloom. I'm counting on you, Master Zhezhi!

Zhezhi: I have to make another copy...

(Start painting)
Zhezhi: ...
Zhezhi quickly completes yet another copy of the Winter's Serenade in Bloom. However, her manager soon requests another one.
(Start painting again)
Zhezhi: ...
Zhezhi loses track of how many times she recreates the same painting, the stack of scrolls growing ever taller.
(Paint...?)
Zhezhi: ...
Perhaps I'm nothing more than a tool for copying paintings.

Zhezhi: Can I really call myself an artist then?
Zhezhi: In their eyes... am I only capable of copying my old work?

(Resist the nightmares)
(Rover): Zhezhi.
(Stop the nightmares from corrupting Zhezhi)
(Rover): What do you really want to paint?
(Rover): Do you remember when you painted the first Winter's Serenade in Bloom?
Zhezhi: Yes. I saw flowers blooming in the middle of winter, and birds were circling around...
(Rover): You worked really hard on it.
Zhezhi: And... that hard work should be noticed.
(Confront the nightmares)
(Rover): Believe in your judgment, your brush, and yourself.
Zhezhi: Believe in... myself.
(Defeat the nightmares)
(Zhezhi musters her courage and continues to work on the unfinished draft.)
Zhezhi: Waters and mountains rest by the pane, valleys and peaks in the dream remain. Colors of vanity washed away, the painted world fades, forgotten today...
(Impermanence Heron: Death Incarnate appears)
Zhezhi: This giant bird... It's... it's the one from Winter's Serenade in Bloom!
Art Manager: I keep telling you, your clients only want that one painting!
Art Manager: Don't be so stubborn, Zhezhi! A painting that doesn't sell well is meaningless!
Zhezhi: I'm the artist, not just the brush.
Zhezhi: It's the soul I put into my paintings that makes people appreciate them!

(After defeating the Impermanence Heron)
Zhezhi: Thank you, (Rover)..

(Leave the Somnoire)
(Quest returns to When the Night Knocks)
