Dialogue[]
- Abby: (Rover), I'm hungry...
- Abby: Panhua's got a must-try dish for the Moon-Chasing Fest—heard about it? Can we go try it? Puh-leeze?
- Rover: Sure. Let's go try it out.
- (Head to the designated location)
- Rover: Hello? What's up, Chixia?
- Chixia: Hey, (Rover)! You've been to the Wishing Tree, right? What did you wish for?
- Chixia: Did it come tru— Oh wait, it can't be that fast...
- Yangyang's Voice: Just leave it here, Chixia.
- Chixia: Gotcha!
- Rover: Still busy with the preparations?
- Chixia: Almost finished! It's crazy here with all these people bustling around!
- Chixia: You hear the buzz from our side?
- Baizhi's Voice: Need to double-check the procedure. Hmm? Did I just see Madam Magistrate... Was it just me?
- Zhezhi's Voice: Sorry! I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you! Ugh, I should've just stayed home to avoid causing trouble.
- Chixia: Pretty hectic, isn't it?
- Rover: Indeed.
- Chixia: Everyone's really giving their all for this year's Moon-Chasing Festival!
- Chixia: Oh, and the Loong Dance performance is happening tonight! Come and watch it with us, (Rover)! I've secured the best seat!
Sure, I'll join you.
- Chixia: Hooray! That's settled then!
- Can I say no?
- Chixia: Seriously? What a pity... Okay then, I'll tell Yangyang and Baizhi you can't make it to the show...
- Wait, I'm joking!
- Chixia: You are? Whew... I thought someone else had beat me to it.
- Chixia: We'll be waiting for you then!
- Chixia: Before we hang up, anything you wanna say to (Rover), Yangyang?
- Yangyang: Me? But I'm not ready...
- Yangyang: Okay, erm... How're you doing today, (Rover)?
- Yangyang: I'm looking forward to enjoying the Moonlit Fair with you tonight.
- Chixia: And you, Baizhi?
- Baizhi: ...
- Baizhi: Please come early if possible.
- Baizhi: People have been preparing for the Moonlit Fair for many weeks.
- Chixia: (Rover), I just sent the coordinates to your Terminal! See you there!
Thanks. Can't wait for tonight.- Chixia: Haha, get ready to be blown away!
- Abby: Hmm... Are we not going to that restaurant, then?
- Rover: Let's eat there with Yangyang and the others later.
- Abby: Yay! ...Wait!
- Abby: I smell something delicious! It's the real deal for my empty tummy, I just know it!
- Rover: Isn't that...
- Xiangli Yao: Hello, (Rover). Can you come to the Moontree Lodge?
- Rover: Hey, you done deciphering that fourth wish?
- Xiangli Yao: Yes... As I suspected, Patty's malfunction was caused by something else.
- Rover: Understood. I'll be right there.
- Xiangli Yao: Thank you. I'll see you in the usual spot.
- Abby: More trouble to solve eh? Wait... didn't you just promise Yangyang we'd hang out tonight?
- Rover: Yeah, I did. Let's go handle it quickly so we can still make it on time.
- (Head to the designated location)
- Patty: Tacet Field... Hate... Pascar... The world...
- Xiangli Yao: Thank you for coming, Rover.
- Abby: Is that... the smell of Sonoro?!
- Xiangli Yao: Patty is now a portal to a Sonoro Sphere.
- Xiangli Yao: Its built-up frequencies likely resonated with something and created this.
- Rover: Should we alert the Midnight Rangers? But then...
- Xiangli Yao: ...Then people might think there's another TD outbreak... Since a major fight has just happened... I think we should...
- Rover: We'll handle it ourselves.
- Xiangli Yao: ...
- Rover: You're already planning to do so, I can tell. It's written all over your face.
- Xiangli Yao: Yes... I've thought it through. I believe that would be the most practical solution.
- Xiangli Yao: If the Sonoro is benign, we can all breathe a sigh of relief.
- Xiangli Yao: And worst-case scenario, if it turns malignant, you'll have no trouble handling it.
- Xiangli Yao: I just didn't expect you to bring it up first. Guess I wasted time hesitating.
- Rover: You hesitated... because of the name "Pascar"?
- Xiangli Yao: Yes. He was a close friend of mine...
- Xiangli Yao: He died from the Waveworn. I think... if this Sonoro Sphere is related to him, it must contain his messages for me.
- Xiangli Yao: This is my personal request, (Rover). Please help me.
- Rover: Sure thing. In fact, I'm also doing this for a personal reason.
- Xiangli Yao: You are?
- Rover: I promised my friends we'd enjoy the Moonlit Fair together tonight. Can't let this incident ruin the festivity.
- Xiangli Yao: Thank you, (Rover). Let's enter the Sonoro now.
- (Interact with Patty)
- Special objects detected...
- Recalibrating data...
- Retrieving visual environment...
- Unknown object detected...
- Xiangli Yao: It's simulating Patty's program... Well, like they say, you wouldn't know what's inside a Sonoro Sphere until you're actually inside it.
- Rover: What's happening?
- Abby: The Sonoro is pushing us out?!
- Xiangli Yao: (Rover), here! My hand!
- ???: Tacet Field... Hate... Pascar... The world...
- ???: Hate... Xiangli Yao...
- Abby: (Rover)!
- Abby: Whew... Thank goodness you're awake.
- Abby: I'm glad the Sonoro didn't throw us out.
- Abby: But why us? What did we even do?
- Rover: Maybe... it has something to do with that Pascar person?
- Rover: Anyway, we should find Xiangli Yao first.

When "the Genius" Meets "the Ordinary": An Exclusive Interview with the Mysterious Polymath
Q: This is your first time speaking to the public, right? Are you nervous? Everyone's been so curious about what the legendary "genius" is like.
A: Haha, actually, I've interacted with many of you on various topics without you even realizing it. Maybe you would recall discussing proton lifetime with someone named Cream Cat.
Q: That science writer Cream Cat? So it's also you! What a surprise! By the way, does this pseudonym have any special meaning?
A: It's from a little "aha" moment. Let me ask you this: ever accidentally dropped a cream cake? If you have, you've probably noticed the creamy side always hits the ground first, just like a cat always lands on its paws. Now, imagine this: stick the non-creamed side onto a cat's back, and voilà! You've got yourself a cream-cat perpetual motion machine, spinning 24/7—a true scientific marvel.
Q: It must take a whimsical and creative mind to come up with such an interesting idea. I wonder if your research on Automata Mechanics is just as imaginative.
A: To answer that, let's raise our heads and look at the starry sky through the window above. What do you see at first glance? And if you look further, what do you see next?
Q: First, the moon and stars. Beyond that, maybe planets crashing into each other or the starry sky mirroring the world we live in.
A: Now, are these just your imagination or scientific facts waiting to be confirmed? You can't find the answer if you don't imagine it first, right? It's the same with my research: imagination is part of scientification. Researchers today often focus too much on the utilitarian side of science, abandoning imagination to ensure their work contributes to mankind and the world as a whole, even if it goes against their intuition. Applied research is undoubtedly necessary for post-Lament reconstruction, but that's no reason to give up imagination, the breeding ground of science. So, my advice is... just think about how to make the science work. As for what it might yield, well... (smiles)
Q: How enlightening! Speaking of advice, do you have any for your gifted son, Xiangli Yao? As a genius yourself, you must have high expectations for him.
A: That might be a lot for a young boy to handle, but... I just hope he inherits my way of seeing things. So that one day, when he steps out of his room and tries to make sense of this world, he can look up at the sky and find the answers there.

- Diary I
Today is the day of the Moon-Chasing Festival, and the teacher at school said that all wishes made on this day will come true.In that case... I wish that Dad could come home more often.
No, wait, in the magazine, Dad said that █████████
In that case... I want to be just as amazing as him. No, I want to be an even greater scientist than him. I want to find out what the world of truth is really like with him.
- Leader Kid: Oops, sorry! We didn't mean to hit your door! We're just playing cornhole here.
- Frail Kid: Please don't blame our boss. It's my bad, I threw it!
- Polite Kid: No, no... It's my fault... I wanted to play cornhole...
- ???: I-It's okay...
- Leader Kid: R-really? You aren't angry at us? Thank you, you're so nice...
- Pascar: Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name's Pascar. They're Modi and Ryan.
- Pascar: What's your name?
- ???: I'm Xiangli Yao.
- Polite Kid: Xiangli Yao? Geez... You're Mrs. Xiangli Yan's son!
- Pascar: Wow! So you're that genius everyone's been talking about?!
- Xiangli Yao: Em...
- Pascar: Wow! I heard you've never been second to anyone in school!
- Xiangli Yao: Mm-hmm...
- Pascar: No way! I heard you finished an entire school year's classes in one week!
- Xiangli Yao: Mm-hmm...
- Pascar: That's amazing! And you've solved a century-old problem for the Academy too?!
- Xiangli Yao: Huh? Is that what they've been saying about me?
- Pascar: YOU'RE SO COOL!
- Modi: Chill, boss. You might scare him.
- Ryan: You're just like my big sis when she meets her idol.
- Pascar: Shush!
- Pascar: Ahem... Sorry, I got ahead of myself.
- Pascar: By the way, we're going to the Moonlit Fair. Care to join us?
- Xiangli Yao: Are you sure...?
- Pascar: 'Course you can! We can make you the new boss even!
- Xiangli Yao: The... boss?
- Pascar: Yeah, like, our leader... But that's not important. The real question is, do you wanna play with us?
- Xiangli Yao: I...
- Xiangli Yao: Sorry... I think I'll stay at home. I must wait for my dad...
- Ryan: Your dad? The big inventor mentioned in the headlines? Said he's gone missing...
- Pascar: Hey, shut up!
- Xiangli Yao: ...
- Pascar: W-we gotta go now. Come find us anytime you wanna play!
- Pascar: I don't like being alone. Don't know if you feel the same.
- Pascar: Anyway, we're here when you need a chat or someone to hang out with.
- Xiangli Yao: Okay...
- Abby: That looks like something from Xiangli Yao's childhood. Could his memories be affecting this Sonoro's frequencies?
- Rover: Maybe it's not just his memories.
- Xiangli Yao: Wait!
- Abby: We can go through that door now. Let's move.
- (Follow the childhood Xiangli Yao and leave)
- Abby: What is this place?
- Rover: A Wishing Stall? But the decorations don't match this year's theme.
- Abby: Do we need to touch anything or read anything here, like we did in the last room?
- Rover: There are some wish tags on the floor. Let's read them.
- (Go through the Wish Tags)
- View the neat Wish Tag
- Wish Tag
Failed experiments, unmet goals... I've had enough! I just want to be heard...
- View the crumpled Wish Tag
- Wish Tag
I promised my boy I'd witness the Ovathrax's defeat and the peace he had fought so hard for.
- View the folded Wish Tag
- Wish Tag
I wanna be a great hero like Flame Ranger from the hero plays. He's strong, he's brave and tough in the face of despair, and he has a squad of awesome friends. We need everyone safe and sound together to truly protect what we care about.
- Rover: Hoping to be heard, missing a departed son, wanting to become a hero... These are the wishes of the people I've helped.
- Rover: There are two more wish tags.
- View the creased Wish Tag
- Wish Tag
If people want food, they pay. If they want pay, they work. But what should I do, if what I want is EVERYTHING about this world?
- View the smooth Wish Tag
- Wish Tag
Father, what is your wish? To help people make their wishes come true?
- Abby: It worked! Your intuition can be really sharp.
- (Head to the designated location)
- Pascar: Can't believe I actually got a zero. What a bummer... I'm not even in the mood for wishes now...
- Xiangli Yao: Still upset about what happened in class?
- Pascar: I mean, aren't we supposed to learn by doing? That's what we've been taught since day one.
- Pascar: We know next to nothing about the the Waveworn Phenomena and our equipment is useless. Shouldn't we go explore it firsthand?
- Xiangli Yao: But how? Shall we set up a lab by a Waveworn site, like you said in class? It's too risky. If something goes wrong, the staff won't make it.
- Pascar: But this is the martyrdom of science, the necessary sacrifice! Like chemists who sampled unknown substances, we must risk it all for the ultimate truth.
- Xiangli Yao: Really? Do we have to risk it all?
- Pascar: Of course! You want food, you pay. You want pay, you work. Give something to get something.
- Pascar: When the truth of this world—the ultimate knowledge—is on the line, one must be willing to give up everything they have.
- Xiangli Yao: ...We'll discuss it later. Modi and Ryan want to catch up. How about meeting them today?
- Pascar: I have no time.
- Xiangli Yao: You've been avoiding them since they failed the entrance exam.
- Pascar: It's necessary. As intellectuals, we must walk a solitary path.
- Pascar: Those who can't keep up will only hold us back. It's best to leave them behind sooner rather than later.
- Pascar: Why would a genius like you care about their feelings anyway? With your father as a role model, distractions should be beneath you.
- Pascar: Come on. What if they drag you down?
- Xiangli Yao: But... I don't think we have to be lonely as intellectuals.
- Pascar: ...Remember that old Moontree Lodge tale from a decade ago? Write a wish, hang it on the Wishing Tree, and presto—your wish comes true.
- Pascar: But let's be real, there's gotta be a person running that show. Because when the word got out, it just stopped working.
- Pascar: More wishes were made, but how many actually came true? Not many.
- Pascar: See? Not even that "Unsung Hero of the Lodge" had time to grant every wish.
- Pascar: Our time in this world is limited, so let's focus on the truth, not trivialities.
- Xiangli Yao: ...
- Pascar: Trying to organize your arguments to refute me? ...Go ahead if you must, Mr. Genius.
- Pascar: You know, I only said that because I value you as my only friend and opponent.
- Pascar: I just don't want you to get distracted. It's not satisfying to outdo someone when they're not at their best.
- Pascar: Well, that's enough talk for today. I'll make my wish now.
- Pascar: Let's see... Well, Wishing Tree, please make the Waveworn happen. Then I can finally study it up close.
- Xiangli Yao: Pascar!
- Pascar: Haha, chill, dude. Just kidding.
- Xiangli Yao: As an intellectual, I must prioritize my pursuit of truth, even if it means a life of solitude...
- Xiangli Yao: Then, father... Why did I find driveshafts of your design in the Moontree Lodge...
- Xiangli Yao: You were never home during Moon-Chasing Festivals... Were you busy helping other people?
- Xiangli Yao: If that's what you did... Does it mean I don't really have to be alone...
- Xiangli Yao: What should I do...
- Pascar's Voice: Hey, Xiangli! What are you doing there? C'mon, we gotta go now.
- Xiangli Yao: Okay.
- Abby: The festival must mean something different to him. Is that why he's running the Moontree Lodge after his father's passing?
- Abby: Is that a form of human connection too?
- Rover: Sort of.
- Abby: Are we sharing that kind of connection right now?
- Rover: I'd say you've been haunting me. Like a ghost.
- Abby: Haunting? Hmph! No way. Admit it, I'm just living rent-free in your head.
- Rover: Sure, if you say so... Now back to the topic. We've been seeing Pascar and Xiangli Yao's past exclusively so far.
- Abby: So? Isn't that pretty normal in a Sonoro like this?
- Rover: But why can't we get through the "doors" before Xiangli Yao opens them?
- Abby: Hmm... Strange indeed. It's almost as if he owns this place!
- Rover: Or maybe... he holds the key? Is it similar to what Scar did to me... No, I can't tell for sure yet.
- Rover: Let's press on. We need to go deeper to uncover the truth.
- (Head to the designated location)
- Abby: Hmm? This room isn't empty.
- (Head to the designated location)
- Meticulous Researcher: Our research has been great. Hopefully we'll keep this momentum going into the next year.
- Optimistic Researcher: With the progress we've made so far, we'll surely figure out the Tacet Fields one day.
- Easygoing Researcher: Well, we have Pascar and Xiangli Yao to thank.
- Nervous Researcher: Yeah. Where did Xiangli go? He's never here with us during the Moon-Chasing Festival.
- (Inspect the researcher's log)
- This is the initial trial of the 11371A Automated Observation Machine.
- It successfully recorded all data observed in Tacet Field HL-057. Upon extrapolation and comparison with theoretical data models, the fitting accuracy remained between 0.8 and 0.85, demonstrating high precision.
- The initial trial of the 11371A Automated Observation Machine conducted by ███ and ███ was successful.
- Data Recording Summary:
- Wavelength ranging between ███ and ███ nanometers...
- A Researcher's Diary
Day 21... Oh no, it's 22 now. Got too thrilled to remember the correct date. The experiment yesterday was indeed invigorating.
"When people are hungry, they work to earn credits to buy food. But when my mind hungers for knowledge about this world, what can I offer to satisfy that craving?"
The words of that researcher have been echoing in my mind ever since then...
By observing the Tacet Fields, we will definitely be able to find the cause of this disaster and redefine the science of our times.
- Abby: Did we just end up back in the same place?
- Abby: Something feels off here...
- (Head to the designated location)
- "Meticulous" Researcher: Another failed experiment! When will we invest in better equipment for accurate results?!
- "Optimistic" Researcher: This is pointless! The Waveworn has destroyed all our theories. There's no pattern at all!
- "Easygoing" Researcher: Our research has been a waste of time! It's all your fault!
- "Nervous" Researcher: We need Xiangli Yao... Pascar, where is Xiangli Yao? Where the hell is he!
- (Inspect the researcher's log)
- This is the ███th observation on Tacet Field HL-057, conducted by 11371A Automated Observation Machine.
- The constant value for measurement ███ has been adjusted to 3.7426, showing a significant deviation from the previous constant value of 7.6587.
- System analysis indicates the following reasons:
- <<< Theories III-001, III-002, III-003... have completely failed.
- <<< Theories II-037 and II-056 show conditional limitations.
- <<< Theories IV-396, IV-452...
- <<< Waveworn Phenomenon seriously affected the accuracy of data observed...
- A Researcher's Diary
Same research conditions and same observation procedures, but how could the result change this time? It was ███ in the last experiment.
No, it can't be. There must be a malfunction with the automated observation machine, or perhaps we made a mistake in one of the procedures.
Gotta try again, just one more time...
We've put so much effort into building this system! It can't be wrong!
- Abby: This is the third time we've circled back here!
- Abby: Let's look around and get out of here quick.
- (Head to the designated location)
- ██████ Researcher: I can't do this anymore... It's over... I'm useless...
- ██████ Researcher: Nonsense... It's all nonsense... Countless errors... No solution!
- ██████ Researcher: It's not me... It's them! No, it's the world! The whole world is wrong! Hahahaha!
- ██████ Researcher: Where is Xiangli Yao?! You're nobody compared to him, Pascar!
- (Inspect the researcher's log)
- This is the ███th observation on Tacet Field HL-057, conducted by 11371A Automated Observation Machine.
- Recorded content: None.
- Because everything is utterly devoid of meaning.
- A Researcher's Diary
More researchers have left... No one's going to continue the research on the Tacet Field.
It feels like everything we've been studying is akin to planting a seed in a Petri dish out in the Tacet Field. And guess what? That seed might germinate, dissolve into the culture solution, or even mutate into a monster and burst out.
Our research is just as chaotic. Experimental data that should remain constant at 3.74 can suddenly skyrocket to 7.65 the next moment. Is this the truth we've been pursuing? How bitterly ironic!
I would feel somewhat relieved if such an impossible error was due to my own incompetence. But if the Lament has already overturned the very order of this world, what's the point of scientific inquiry?
- <<< Reading data, Researcher: ███ and ███ have withdrawn from the research
- <<< System message, Researchers: ███, ███ and ███ ...
- <<< I still can't accept it. If the incorrect theory was because of my own lack of ability, that would almost be a relief. But now...
- <<< System message, Researcher: Pascar
- <<< No... Your wishes, my wishes... I will carry them to the destination we've all been longing for.
- <<< Keywords found: Wishes, visual environment recalibrating...
- Abby: Finally, we're out... but this new place looks even creepier.
- (Touch the illusion)
- Shifan's Illusion?: So tired... I wanna disappear... Screw everything!
- Abby: Hey, ain't that the Shifan guy?
- Abby: He smells delicious... Ahem! I mean, he looks even worse than yesterday, when he wrote down his wish...
- Rover: The others are probably no better than him...
- (Touch the illusion)
- Heying's Illusion?: My son... I miss you so much... Take me away with you...
- Rover: She's been affected too...
- Abby: Even that granny has gone crazy...
- (Touch the illusion)
- Mahn's Illusion?: Ahaha... I'm the best!
- Mahn's Illusion?: Watch me take on anything! Let the world burn, I'll still come out on top!
- Abby: ...Well, this one doesn't sound too depressing...
- Abby: But if it ever comes true, I have a feeling it's gonna be hella dangerous!
- Rover: Hmm... I think I know who the remaining two will be.
- (Touch the illusion)
- Pascar's Illusion?: Science doesn't exist...
- Pascar's Illusion?: We knew it! We knew it right from the start! The Waveworn Phenomenon defies all laws of physics!
- Pascar's Illusion?: And the worst part? It's completely random! We need more data!
- Pascar's Illusion?: How are we supposed to study the Tacet Field in this chaos?
- Pascar's Illusion?: I knew it... We never have enough samples! Now, if we could make Waveworn disasters happen more often...
- Pascar's Illusion?: Don't you try to stop me, cowards! You don't even have the guts to sacrifice for the truth!
- Pascar's Illusion?: You all despise me, thinking I'll never surpass Xiangli Yao, right?
- Pascar's Illusion?: Ha! If this were his idea, not a single one of you would object!
- Pascar's Illusion?: Fine! I'll do it myself!
- Pascar's Illusion?: Hahaha... I did it! Now I'm just a heartbeat away from success!
- Pascar's Illusion?: Stay back! Stay away from here!
- Xiangli Yao's Illusion?: His wish... achieved... He is not guilty...
- Xiangli Yao's Illusion?: Must... trigger... the Waveworn... Tacet Field...
- Abby: He can't be serious!
- Abby: So he's gonna trigger the Waveworn disaster like Pascar planned to?!
- Rover: We shouldn't jump to conclusions yet. Not based on a few broken words.
- Rover: He's willing to go to great lengths for other people. He wouldn't want to do that.
- Xiangli Yao's Illusion?: My friend's quest for truth was genuine till his last breath!
- Xiangli Yao's Illusion?: I will not let you... tarnish his goal like that!
- Abby: It's Xiangli Yao! He's right behind this door!
- Abby: But it won't budge...
- Rover: Then I'll smash it open!
- Abby: By brute force?!
- <<< Detected spikes across multiple environmental parameters...
- <<< [System Message] From Research Fellow, Pascar:
- <<< ...vision... See! We've finally made a dent in Tacet Field studies. All was not... for nothing.
- <<< Is that... the Waveworn phenomenon? Xiangli Yao, I...
- <<< Confirming final message: Xiangli Yao
- <<< Coordinates and object info redefined, visualizing...
- Xiangli Yao: The innermost area of this Sonoro Sphere... Pascar, are you there?
- Xiangli Yao: Sorry, Rover... I must go and face him myself.
- Xiangli Yao: Stop hiding, Pascar. We can talk it out.
- (Defeat the TDs)
- Twisted Obsessions: Hate... The world... Rest... Turn back time... Destruction...
- Twisted Obsessions: Science doesn't exist...
- Xiangli Yao: These frequencies... They belong to more than one person...
- Twisted Obsessions: A genius like you will never get it!!
- Twisted Obsessions: The Waveworn... Show me the Waveworn...
- Xiangli Yao: Pascar, listen to me! This isn't what you wished for!
- Twisted Obsessions: Tacet Fields... must be finished... by us... by me!
- (Twisted Obsessions at 50% HP)
- (Cutscene plays)
- (Cutscene ends)
- Xiangli Yao: Rover?!
- Rover: What did I miss? Am I too late?
- Xiangli Yao: No, you are right on time.
- (Twisted Obsessions at low HP)
- Twisted Obsessions: Hahaha... I made it! Almost there... So close...
- Twisted Obsessions: Replicate the Tacet Field! Replicate the Waveworn!
- Xiangli Yao's Voice: My friend's quest for truth was genuine till his last breath!
- Xiangli Yao: I will not let you... tarnish his goal like that!
- (Defeat "Twisted Obsessions")
- (Cutscene plays)
- (Cutscene ends)
- Pascar's Illusion: Stay back! Stay away from here!
- Look, Abby. You've got a fellow ghost.
- Abby: Again, I am NOT a ghost!
- Abby: The Waveworn gobbled up and then spit out some weak frequencies, but this one smells... strange. Was it affected by something else?
- Xiangli Yao: Pascar, It's me, Xiangli Yao. Do you recognize me?
- Pascar's Illusion: Stay back... The Waveworn's coming! Stay away from here!
- Abby: Huh? Didn't he set it off in the first place?
- Xiangli Yao: Calm down, we are safe here. No Waveworn or Tacet Field around.
- Xiangli Yao: Nothing's happening to me. See?
- Pascar's Illusion: Xiangli Yao...
- Xiangli Yao: Yes, I'm listening.
- Xiangli Yao: Pascar. What do you want me to know?
- Pascar's Illusion: I... I should've stayed at the Academy. Shouldn't have taken anything without permission...
- Pascar's Illusion: But I did it! I figured it all out! The Tacet Field's frequency!
- Pascar's Illusion: Made a prototype detector too! It predicts where the Tacet Fields are forming!
- Pascar's Illusion: I-I should've kept the documents... Should've informed you...
- Pascar's Illusion: I was thrilled... blinded by the success...
- Pascar's Illusion: But then my prototype... gone. Everything... gone...
- Pascar's Illusion: The margin of error was too big... not enough time, not enough range...
- Pascar's Illusion: When I got there, the Waveworn had already...
- Pascar's Illusion: Ah, I see... So the Waveworn had devoured me... and the last person I saw was...
- Xiangli Yao: You saw me.
- Pascar's Illusion: Yes... Yes, I remember... It's all coming back to me now...
- Pascar's Illusion: I didn't trigger the Waveworn! That's what I've been trying to tell you!
- Pascar's Illusion: And, what else... Pen! Give me a pen!
- Pascar's Illusion: I must write down my research results! I must show you!
- Pascar's Illusion: I need a pen! Hurry!
- Xiangli Yao: Pascar...
- Pascar's Illusion: I've been trying to tell you for so, so long... I just want to let you know...
- Pascar's Illusion: I identified the Tacet Field's special frequency! I never hated you! I just... I wanted to save the world...
- Pascar's Illusion: It's all in vain... Now everyone must see me as the culprit...
- Pascar's Illusion: Ha, can't blame you... After what I said, of course you'd...
- Xiangli Yao: No... Your sacrifice was not in vain.
- Xiangli Yao: Your research has inspired many, even attracting interest from the Black Shores, that mysterious organization. They've actually sent one of their Consultants to learn about the theory.
- Pascar's Illusion: Even the Black Shores...
- Xiangli Yao: Their faces couldn't hide the shock. It was truly a sight to behold. Even I burst out laughing.
- Xiangli Yao: We're still searching for a way to recreate your prototype. But the 'Pascar Spectrum' theory has gained global recognition, and is advancing Tacet Field research.
- Pascar's Illusion: Pascar... Spectrum...?
- Xiangli Yao: Yes, it's your theory. We named it after you.
- Xiangli Yao: Our classmates and I... We found your notes after the Waveworn receded.
- Xiangli Yao: After filling in the missing information, we restored this theory and named it after you.
- Pascar's Illusion: R-really...?
- Xiangli Yao: Yes, and we all know it wasn't your fault.
- Pascar's Illusion: So... my research actually helped others...
- Xiangli Yao: It did, and it will keep on benefiting people.
- Pascar's Illusion: That's great to hear...
- Pascar's Illusion: Thank you, my friend. Please... Please witness the world we've protected... on my behalf...
- Pascar's Voice: My wish has come true... Thank you, Wishing Tree...
- Xiangli Yao: Rover... Let's witness Pascar's wish. Together.
- (Read)
- Pascar: When I'm older, I'll be the best scientist ever! I'll help people and everyone will love me! I'll lead the way in making lots of cool discoveries!
- Xiangli Yao: Pascar... You've been here with us all along...
- Abby: Wow, so that's the real story... We've helped make four wishes come true now!
- Rover: Or maybe... It's actually five.
- Abby: Five? But we only have four wish tags here.
- Rover: That must be the exit. Let's get out of here first, Yao.
- Abby: Hey! What did you mean? Tell me, tell meeee!
- After the consciousness space fades, you and Xiangli Yao return to reality.
- Xiangli Yao: Are you alright? It's not uncommon to feel a bit queasy after leaving a Sonoro Sphere.
- I'm fine. Not feeling off at all.
- Sonoro Spheres? More like my playground.
- Xiangli Yao: I'm glad to hear that.
- How's Patty?
- Xiangli Yao: Given the situation is now under control, it should be fine. I will check on Patty, just to be safe.
- Rover: (He might need some time alone to process what just happened...)
- Xiangli Yao: Don't worry about me, (Rover). I can handle the rest myself. It's just a quick checkup on Patty.
- Xiangli Yao: Go join the celebration down the mountain. Remember those kids you promised to meet up with? They must be waiting for you.
- Xiangli Yao: Besides, I need some time to prepare a small gift for you, as thanks. I'll... catch up with you later.
- See you later.
- (Head to the designated location)
- Shifan: Oh, hey. Good to see you again.
- Hello.
- Shifan: Thanks to you, Jiuli and I can restart our Tacet Discord research. With our past experience, I'm sure we'll get better results this time.
- Jiuli: We've been busy moving the equipment to our new lab.
- Jiuli: Speaking of that, can you please clean your room? Only been a few days and it's a mess already. Piled high with papers, devices, and take-out...
- Jiuli: I can't even get it, let alone find what I need...
- Shifan: Have you seen Xiangli Yao's room? It's a perfect example of "order out of disorder." I learned it from the genius.
- Shifan: And you always find things no matter where I leave them. Man, you know my room better than I do.
- Jiuli: Well, can't deny it...
- Are you here for the Moonlit Fair too?
- Jiuli: Yes, our colleague Zhixiu organized this event called "Swim, Gulpuff, Swim." We're here to show support. Plus, Shifan never misses Tacet Discord events.
- Shifan: Haha, you know me. Zhixiu's interested in those monsters too. Should we invite her to join our research? More brains, better ideas.
- Shifan: Let's get the creative juices flowing!
- Glad to hear you're having fun.
- Shifan: Thanks! Happy Moon-Chasing Festival!
- Jiuli: Happy Moon-Chasing Festival!
- (Head to the designated location)
- Li: Boss, look! (HeHe/
SheShe)'s back! - Mahn? Why are you kids here?
- Mahn: Well... the Moonlit Fair was starting, but we saw you were busy with something else... so we...
- Xiaomo: We followed you up the mountain and saw you chatting with someone, and then, poof! You two just vanished into thin air.
- Xiaomo: We tried to ask for help, but all we found was a rabbit robot.
- Li: Mr. Rabbit said you're tough and will be okay. He told us not to worry about you.
- Mahn: But... Come on, there's no way we wouldn't worry! How can people just disappear? My mom said it only happens in hero plays.
- So you've been waiting for me all this time?
- Li: Yeah! We had a plan! If anything went wrong, our boss and Momo would run super fast downhill to get help from the grown-ups.
- Li: And I'll keep watch in case anything goes down. My eyes don't miss a thing!
- Thank you.
- Mahn: Hehe, you're welcome. Since you're safe now, can you show us... the hero play you mentioned earlier?
- You show the footage recorded in the Sonoro Sphere to the children.
- Mahn: Hm? The hero in this video... is that you?
- Hero (Rover), reporting for duty.
- Mahn: (Rover)... This name sounds so familiar.
- Li: Oh! I know! Grandpa told me you are the hero who saved Jinzhou!
- Mahn: That's awesome! No wonder you beat that monster with only a few moves! You're a true hero!
- Li: And the guy fighting with you is incredibke! I don't recognize him, but his mecha arm looks SO COOL!
- Mahn: I want to be just like you! But... I don't know how to use Forte... or what it takes to be a hero...
- I think you're already a hero.
- Mahn: Huh?
- Rover: Despite wanting to go to the Moonlit Fair, you chose to stay here and protect us.
- Rover: You walked the walk, sacrificing your own enjoyment for the sake of others.
- Rover: This is exactly what the Flame Ranger would do.
- Mahn: I see...
- Li: A-are you saying that... We are the Flame Rangers now?
- Rover: Yes. With your swift feet and keen eyes, you'd make a formidable team, ready to face any challenge together.
- Rover: Just like me and my "mecha-arm" partner.
- Mahn: So, I'm a hero now... and I have my hero squad, with Li, Momo, and Mr. Rabbit! The Moontree Lodge really made my wish come true!
- Mahn: Hehe! Thanks, (Rover)!
- (Head to the designated location)
- Wenyu: I made it! Whew.
- Heying: No rush, child. Take a breath.
- Shangyun: What took you so long, Wenyu?
- Wenyu: Packaging. I wrapped the pastry up to keep the warmth. It'll taste better...
- Wenyu: Please have a bite, Mrs. Heying, I made this myself. And this one's for you, Shangyun.
- Heying: Thank you, dear.
- Shangyun: Mr. Xiuyuan made this pastry for us during previous Moon-Chasing Festivals...
- Wenyu: ...Yes, I really liked it, so I asked him for the recipe.
- Heying: But... My son never learned to cook... When did he make this for you?
- Wenyu: He learned it in the military. At first, the food he made was... um, average, but he got better over time.
- Wenyu: He could make a feast out of even the simplest ingredients. That's how good he was!
- Shangyun: Cooking's not that hard. I can do it too.
- Shangyun: Shall I make a meal for you when I get some leave, Mrs. Heying?
- Heying: Thank you, thank you...
- (Mrs. Heying's not alone. It's good to see.)
- (Head to the designated location)
- Zhezhi: You are... Whoaahh! Sorry, I couldn't see you! My glasses were smudged...
- Zhezhi: A-Are you... still looking for that researcher named "Xiaosheng"? I asked around but... no luck...
- Zhezhi: I'm so sorry for being so useless... I... I can ask more people if you want!
- Zhezhi: Y-You can pick any of my paintings, as an apology? Please choose one, I insist...
- It's okay. I've already found Xiaosheng.
- Thank you, but I've already found Xiaosheng.
- Zhezhi: Really? Whew... That's good to know...
- What are you doing here?
- Zhezhi: I'm painting...
- The view's nice indeed.
- Zhezhi: Yeah, lots of people. I can see all of Taoyuan Vale from here.
- What do you want to draw?
- Zhezhi: Um... I guess it's everyone down there... I'm not good with people, but... their smiles make me feel warm inside too.
- Zhezhi: It's like... when I pick up a paintbrush... the warmth just spreads through me.
Looking forward to your stunning artwork.
- Zhezhi: S-stunning... No, you flatter me. It's not that good... just average...
- (Head to the designated location)
- Xiangli Yao: Sorry I kept you waiting, (Rover).
- Rover: No worries. Is Patty alright?
- Xiangli Yao: I found some unusual frequencies inside its body. Not sure if that's the Sonoro Sphere's influence.
- Xiangli Yao: Out of safety concerns, I locked it up for the time being.
I thought you'd dive right into studying the cause.
- Xiangli Yao: Normally I would. But not this time, because I promised you a gift.
- Xiangli Yao: Here, please take this.
- Xiangli Yao: I know you're going to the Moonlit Fair. Here's a camera to capture memories for you to keep.
Is this a perk of working for the Moontree Lodge?
- Xiangli Yao: It can be. Maybe I should include it in the employee handbook.
We have a handbook already?
- Xiangli Yao: Not yet. That's why I'm about to write one.
- Xiangli Yao: I couldn't have solved this so fast without you by my side.
- Xiangli Yao: Those wishes were their cries for help. Someone had to act fast and save them, or there could have been severe consequences.
- Xiangli Yao: Thanks to your help, people can see their wishes come true.
- Xiangli Yao: The fulfilled wishes bring warmth and comfort to be shared by many more.
- Xiangli Yao: In the end, the Moontree Lodge kept its promise... to everyone, including Pascar.
- Rover: What about you? What is your wish?
- Xiangli Yao: My wish? I haven't really thought about it in a while... But I may already know the answer to your question.
- Xiangli Yao: It's the same reason why I'm taking care of the Moontree Lodge: I want to follow in our pioneers' footsteps.
- Xiangli Yao: Those who forsake everything in pursuit of truth, and those who dedicate their lives to the welfare of others.
- Xiangli Yao: My parents each embodied one path. They were my role models, and I have strived to emulate them both.
- Xiangli Yao: Their passing left me searching for answers, for a way to find balance between the two.
- Xiangli Yao: That was why I inherited the Moontree Lodge. Still, I've often questioned: how closely should I follow my parents' paths?
- Xiangli Yao: Should I abandon all social connections in pursuit of the elusive ultimate truth, like in a certain story?
- Rover: But in the end, you didn't do that.
- Xiangli Yao: No, I didn't. Because Pascar found me and brought me out of my room. Without him, I never would've known about my father's ties to the Moontree Lodge.
- Xiangli Yao: When Pascar left the Academy, I considered going with him.
- Xiangli Yao: Perhaps we are the same kind of people after all.
- Xiangli Yao: I wanted to give up everything for the ultimate truth, but I still craved companionship. That's why I hesitated.
- Xiangli Yao: Seeking truth can be futile. It's like constantly pushing a boulder uphill, only for the Lament to send it back down every time.
- Xiangli Yao: In this disaster-stricken world, our beliefs, innovations, even entire societies risk falling into oblivion in an instant.
- Xiangli Yao: Still, someone must push the boulder of curiosity and explore uncharted territories beyond that hill.
- Xiangli Yao: I've longed to push that boulder, Rover. Perhaps one day, I'll give in to the urge... Even if it means leaving everything behind.
- Xiangli Yao: Because it's there. Hard to resist the temptation when truth feels so close, almost within reach.
- Pascar's Illusion: I've been trying to tell you for so, so long... I just want to let you know...
- Rover: It's alright. You can venture as far as you need to. You will always return to open arms.
- Rover: The way how you've always tried to clear Pascar's name, how he's done his utmost to tell you the truth. That's what we call a human connection.
- Rover: That's why your memory worked as a "key" in the Sonoro Sphere.
- Rover: Have more faith in humanity. The hero who pushed the boulder of truth for us all will be remembered, and the bond between people will endure.
- Rover: Because we are here for you, always.
- Chixia: Hey, (Rover)! Over here!
- Xiangli Yao: Your friends are calling out to you.
- Xiangli Yao: Go. Don't keep them waiting.
- Yao.
- Rover: (They say some vendors offer discounts to people visiting together?They say some vendors offer discounts to people visiting together?/
They say the Moon-Chasing Festival is a time for reunions?They say the Moon-Chasing Festival is a time for reunions?) - Xiangli Yao: (Yes... Some of them.Yes... Some of them./
Traditionally, yes...Traditionally, yes...) - Rover: (Come with me, then. Make it another perk of working for the Moontree Lodge.Come with me, then. Make it another perk of working for the Moontree Lodge./
Come with me, then. It's not a reunion when you're left alone.Come with me, then. It's not a reunion when you're left alone.) - Xiangli Yao: But I...
- Rover: You have a promise to keep, remember?
- Pascar's Illusion: Thank you, my friend. Please... Please witness the world we've protected... on my behalf...
- Xiangli Yao: ...Yes, I do.
- Abby: What's up with you two, (Rover)? C'mon, let's go!
- (Cutscene plays)
- Abby: Oh!
- Abby: Looky that!
- Yangyang: This word puzzle... Is the answer "Friend", maybe?
- Chixia: There you are!
- Chixia: Hehe.
- Chixia: You done?
- Chixia: Lemme see!
- Chixia: Wow, Baizhi actually smiled! She really should smile more often.
- ???: The painting...
- ???: It's so beautiful. What a stunning piece of work.
- Chixia: Hmm? What's that?
- Chixia: Let's go check it out!
- Zhezhi: P-please, I'm not photogenic...
- Encore: Hahaha... Dat-tat, dat-tat, dat-tat, dat!
- Abby: Oh wow! Let me try! Lemme!
- Xiangli Yao: It's about time.
- Xiangli Yao: Behold, the Moonlit Fair's final show!
- ???: That's the Loong Lantern!
- Chixia: Hey! Over here!
- Chixia: You've been snapping all these pics, but why aren't you in any of them?
- Chixia: Aha!
- Chixia: There you go, the time-lapse mode.
- Chixia: C'mon! Let's all take a picture together!
