Meimona: Whoa... the ceiling's so low!Aria: It's a lot smaller on the inside than I imagined...Reed: I'm willing to bet that's just the size of the entrance area.Nino: It's probably way bigger deeper in. Party: Survey your surroundings. Aria: This temple's interior is pretty intricate, huh?Five: Decorated with... sparkly gold! Meimona: Gotta say, I'm a big fan so far!Nino: There must be someone taking good care of this place.Meimona: Hummm, but it's so quiet, isn't it?Nino: Maybe there's no one here besides us?Nino: Including the temple's retainers.Aria: I sure hope that's the case...Meimona: Sooo, the rift we're looking for really is in here?Reed: Yeah. We just have to keep going forward.Aria: Let's go, then! Party: Proceed to the next room. Nino: Oh,…

Reed: ...I hope this isn't going to be a huge let-down.Meimona: The only let-down here is YOUR downer attitude!Meimona: Chin up! If you just believe, it'll be aaaall right.Nino: Mhm. You should especially never doubt things around Mei.Reed: Easy for you to say. I can't change my beliefs that quickly. Besides,Reed: Is her luck really going to suffer if I'm the only pessimistic douche around?Meimona: Oh, weeeell... nah! Not much, I don't think?Reed: Cool. You're got three other people to count on, then.Nino: It's actually four, remember? Like I said, Aurora herself counts too!Reed: Sounds like you've given Mei's ability even more thought than she did...Meimona: Heh! I'll cut ya some slack THIS time, Reed.Meimona: But you better not fail to come through for me in the future, you hear!?Reed:…

Reed: The rift here is partially how I found this place.Reed: After Aria ran off, I mean...Reed: I faintly detected something, and realized she was running towards it.Reed: So, lucky for us indeed, you two happened to be right where it is.Nino: Huh... so there really was a rift nearby after all.Nino: I'm glad that turned out to be true!Reed: ...Yeah, but... how did you know?Nino: Oh... I'm actually not sure.Reed: Amnesia again? That's getting old, man.Nino: It's not a bit! And I don't think it's that, but...Meimona: Ummm, somehow... Meimona: I just realized I knew that there might be a rift here too!Meimona: Buuuut I dunno who told me, really.Meimona: Maybe Nino did, and then we both forgot?Aria: That's even more unbelievable than the amnesia explanation!Aria: This is news…

Aria: Uuuu...Meimona: Whew... I'm so glad we didn't leave the room keys behind.Meimona: Oh, don't worry, guys!Meimona: She made it to the sink safely. :'3Nino: Whew! I'm saved.Aria: Aaaah, I can finally relax a little...Five: Aria, so tired... Aria, must rest now!Five: But Five's so happy, because everyone is together again!Nino: Yeah, I can tell...Nino: You haven't stopped clinging onto me since you got here.Meimona: Waaaaaah! I'm really happy too!!!Meimona: I missed you soooo much, my adorable little Boyfriend!Boyfriend: Meoooooooow!!!Five: Kitty miss Mei too! Kitty, so sad before...Five: But now, everything is better, for everyone!Five: Even Reed's baaad ouchies are all gone!!!Nino: Yeah, thanks to yours truly, of course.Meimona: Couldn't heal heatstroke though, could you...?Reed: ...So. Let me wrap my head around how this happened. Aria: Refrain from cursing heat.…

Nino: Crying? I'm not, I... what the-?Nino: Oh jeez! I really am tearing up!Meimona: Nino, you...Nino: Sorry, I-I don't know what it is...Nino: M-maybe something fell in my eyes.Nino: *Sniff*.Meimona: Huh? As if I'd believe that cliché excuse!Meimona: Were you affected by what I said...?Nino: ...Um. No.Nino: My eye pipes just leaked water.Nino: It's not tears. So no. I'm not crying.Meimona: That's the same thing, though.Nino: No! It's not!Nino: I-I'd never cry in front of a girl!Meimona: ...Awh.Meimona: You're very bad at hiding it. Nino: Why are you crying? W-who knows!? This is freaking you out! Was Mei's story just so sad that it affected you this much? Well, it is very painful picturing a tiny baby Mei fending for herself and her pet, but... you never thought it'd make…

What would it mean to accept the offer laid before you? If you do, Meimona might unquestionably go along with whatever you ask of her. But she would also clearly never treat you like she did before. If she wouldn't complain about anything you do at all... would she even joke around with you at that point? Wow, it'd be incredibly boring if Meimona behaved like that! Screw that noise! You don't want this at all. You never asked for to have any kind of power over her, and you most certainly will not accept it - even if she pushes herself into that sort of position. Nino: If she's so indebted to you, then she should listen when you tell her to be more true to herself in times…

An unsettling scene unfolds right before your eyes. A horrible sight you never ever wanted to see. Nino: What the hell is this!?Nino: Stop, stop it!Meimona: Auh... d-do you believe me now?Nino: ... Does that mean this'll just keep going if you don't believe it? That's... that's just insane. Why would Meimona be so desperate to gain your trust? And why use this method out of ALL options? Meimona - the Meimona you know - should really know better than do this! Regardless if it is or isn't her, this just has to stop now. Nino: Think back to Helios proving himself with just a small cut to the hand. Look at Mei's wound closely, to verify if she's real. That's right. At that time, Helios seemingly expected you to…

Nino: ...Ugh. I shouldn't have insulted you after all.Nino: It's just that... you made me so mad, okay.Nino: But I didn't really mean it, you know...?Nino: I lost control for a sec is all.Meimona: Oh, no, I understand!Meimona: I did do something reaaally stupid.Meimona: I totally deserve to be scolded for it.Nino: ...You really are okay with it?Meimona: Yep! It's all fine! Don't worry.Meimona: I can see where you're coming from.Nino: ... What's with this attitude? Seriously, nothing seems to phase her at all. And her easygoing mood really isn't helping here... Meimona: Anyways, I have an idea...Meimona: Maybe if I put the stick back in place, it'll become a horn again?Meimona: Lemme try it, Nino! Can I, can I?Nino: ...Uh...Nino: That couldn't possibly make the situation any worse than…

Nino: Um, so, I brought food...Nino: Wait, no, that's not important now!Nino: You're feeling better already, Mei?Meimona: Yup! I'm as good as new!Nino: You sure? It's, uh, kind of a quick turnaround.Meimona: Yeah, I'm totally fine!Meimona: I just needed a nap, really.Nino: ...Well, if you say so, then...Nino: Anyway, look, there's something urgent.Nino: You were asking what took me so long, right?Nino: Well... I almost got exposed as a human.Meimona: What!? By who?Nino: Helios. That's the guy who helped us.Meimona: Oh jeez! How'd that happen?Nino: It's a long story... we don't have the time to go over it.Nino: We need to get the heck out of here fast!Nino: That guy could return any second now.Nino: And I'm not sure I can slip by again if he does.Nino: Since Aria's illusion…

Yeah, you're done for. ...If you weren't ready to fight back, that is. There's no way you're dying in a place like this. Nino: Be ready to draw your sword at a moment's notice. If he's talked with you so much thus far while also suspecting you, then he may still be willing to do so. Yeah, yes... yes. It's okay. All you actually have to do is escape. Nino: What's the quickest way out of here? The nearest exit is right by this inn. That's where you entered from. You just have to book it there. Maybe hit the guy with your sword just once, and do it hard enough to throw him off your trail, and then rush off. You can do that. You can. However... You'd have…

There it is. He just came out and said it. Finally. No more beating around the bush. Now you can safely begin to address that little topic. Nino: Stop smiling so creepily! You're not actually doing that! You're only preemptively smugly celebrating your victory on the inside, okay. Because this is already as good as done. Really, how stupid can he be to just say it? Now he's the weird one for bringing up humans out of nowhere. It'll be so damn easy to use that against him. Nino: Isn't you avoiding your "possible" humanity to get him to admit it exactly what a human avoiding detection would do? Your continued dishonesty only raised suspicion, and pushing him on what he refuses to say only fed it more. Still, now…
