Reed: Yeah, this is fascinating, but she's right that neither of you can fix this and you've got more pressing things to deal with.

Reed: Okay... you're rambling again.Reed: That's a bad habit you've got.Reed: I'm not interested in knowing all that,Reed: Nor are we looking to solve an issue that large.Reed: But... I do want to tie up all the loose ends here as well as possible. Aria: Give up on this questioning. Reed: So, what do you think, Aria?Aria: ...It's a lot to take in.Reed: I think she's right that an issue that big isn't our problem to solve.Aria: Well, maybe not, but... ugh.Reed: So you're still worried...Aria: Reed, I honestly can't bring myself to trust a single word she's said.Aria: I mean, she could just be lying about being different and all!Spirit: Well... I'd assure you that I am not,Spirit: But I understand you have no way of verifying my words...Spirit:…

Aria and Reed: Question the spirit.

Reed: You said there was a rift nearby that would lead us to an exit.Spirit: ...Yes. There is one in the proximity of the capital.Spirit: Even now as we speak, it is still open.Spirit: I could lead you there right away, in fact...Aria: No! Not yet!Aria: We're going to find our friends first!Reed: Right. You already know we won't be going anywhere without them,Reed: Even if the exit was right in front of us.Reed: Now, since it would only make us leave faster,Reed: Are you going to tell us where Nino is?Spirit: ...Aria: Come on, talk! Aria: Ask if it knows where Nino and Mei are. You may not have an exact location, but maybe it can point you in the right direction. Spirit: ...Well, human.Spirit: I don't see any…

Solis: Listen in as you treat her.

Meimona: Umm, mister... the thing I saw...Meimona: That wasn't really who I thought it was, right?Solis: No, not at all.Solis: Spirits disguise themselves in convincing ways, Solis: All to lure unsuspecting people in.Solis: So it's not the same person at all, Solis: Even if it looked like someone you know.Meimona: ...I see... Solis: You shouldn't let it bother you.Meimona: Well... I know that, but...Meimona: The things it said... Meimona: Did they mean anything?Solis: Not in the slightest.Solis: A hungry spirit doesn't act in good faith.Solis: It was just looking for the most hurtful things to say, in order to trick you.Solis: Believe me, you can ignore literally everything it told you.Meimona: Oh... really?Solis: Absolutely.Solis: Don't waste your energy worrying about its lies.Meimona: I-I see. That's good to know... What... so…

Nino: It's a monster!

A monster... this big tall guy's a monster. You were saved you from that overwhelming horde of spirits by... a monster. Okay, okay, stay calm. This is fine! It's just a monster! Who is currently towering over you, with fire burning in his palm. ...No, no, really, calm down. Right now, you too appear as a monster! It should be fine if you just talk to him normally, monster to monster! Nino: Question the man, just in case. Meimona: ...Nino: U-uh... Yeah!Nino: We're fine...Nino: Wait, no! What if...Nino: This is just another ruse?Nino: A-are you real?Nino: Like, a real and safe person?Nino: Not a spirit again...?Solis: Oh. Certainly. Solis: Prove it. Suddenly, the big scary monster dude just cuts his palm. With a completely straight face. Not even slightly flinching.…

--/--> Meimona: ...Meimona: N-Nino... Nino: Open your eyes. Meimona: Nino!!! You gasp. You gasp so hard that it hurts. There's nothing. Nothing, besides Mei's warmth. You were expecting to feel some intense pain, but... There's nothing like that at all. In fact, you feel anything but danger. Nino: Look around you. It seems that you're completely unharmed... And, oddly enough, you smell smoke in the air. There's... fire? --/--> A ring of fire surrounds you. It looks like it burned all of the spirits that were here. Barely any traces remain at all. That overwhelming horde of danger... it's all gone, just like that? Avery himself is nowhere to be seen, too... And the two of you are perfectly unharmed. What in the world just happened? --/--> Solis: Jeez, this…

Nino: Look up.

...What the...? Did... did Avery just call over more spirits? What the fuck!? Was that screaming some kind of fucked up last-minute distress signal or something? And does it mean that this many spirits were hiding around for back up all along? Fuck, has Avery just been LYING this whole time, since the very start? If not, then... What in the world is this murderous trap!? --/--> AAAAGH, GAH... ...H-HUH? W-w-what... is THIS... WHY... why... W...h...y... is EVERYONE... h-here!? Nino: Steel yourself. YOU... you're still listening, aren't you? WHY? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? A-ANSWER ME, PROXY! Well, shit! Whatever they hope to accomplish here, you're ready to kill them all, and make their plans fail before they even start. Clearly, it's too late to dosh out second chances now. --/-->…

YOU... wretched HUMAN...Avery: Just like BACK THEN...Avery: You ROBBED what little HOPE I had left!Avery: I won't FORGIVE you!Meimona: Avery!Meimona: Does it really have to be this way?Meimona: You're still going to fight us after all that!?Avery: Y...

Miraculous Night - LOG #3.

...What time is it now? I lost track of how long I've been sitting here for. My throat's starting to hurt, too. Oh, it's so fun... I haven't gotten to talk to someone else for this much in a while! No, actually... I just haven't talked as myself in a long, long time. Nowadays, I feel like I can't be who I really am. What's the point of opening my mouth if I can't even say what's in my heart? Every day, I sit in the exact same spot, stare at countless screens, write report after report, and track tens of thousands of numbers. Every day is so drab. None of the results ever look promising. But today, it was so different. The warm light of the screen reminds me…

Miraculous Night - LOG #2.

{ Oceanfalls } Vol. Five by Ray "TheRadGuy" Mikey 01:02. I can't believe it's only been just a little over an hour. I've switched to voice-recording all my notes. Doing it any other way is a pain. I've also quickly discovered that I need a hard drink, or two, if I want to continue the experiment. So I went ahead and grabbed three bottles. Lucky for me, the professor doesn't care if I get a little tipsy. I don't think she even knows I do this. Either way, it makes my brain work better and my tasks get finished faster, so who cares. As for the "collective"... They've been saying all sorts of things. Interestingly, they often act like they can forseen future events with total certainty. And, even though…

Miraculous Night - LOG #1.

Oceanfables: Ethological by Witch's Cadence 00:00. 12th of Sapphire Ocean. It is now the 25th of the month. This experiment is concerned with "approximating the behavior of a hypothetical existence". More specifically, it shall be conducted with the goal of communicating with a "farther existence". Everyone has an idea of what a "higher existence" is, such as a Celestial. But a "farther existence" refers to anything hypothesized to exist beyond our reach, in a literal sense. Both of them could be seen as "existences beyond our comphrehension", in their own ways. I mean, I can't say I fully grasp what its like to exist as a celestial... but as great as they are, they still live in the same world as a weak little human like myself, governed by the…

Avery: Rest at last.

?????: What do you think you're doing? ?????: You dare turn your back on your master? Avery: !? ?????: Are you really in such a hurry to save yourself, ?????: That you forget what you owed her, and everyone else? ?????: I won't allow it. ?????: You can't be the only one who obtains salvation. Avery: P-proxy!? Proxy: To think you'd even take a piece from the living... Proxy: What a fool. Proxy: Shall I wake you up from your stupor? Proxy: Don't be selfish, and deny us the only hope we've got. Proxy: My suffering, their suffering, it all continues, Proxy: Without her, we're all dust. Avery: W-what are you g-going to do... Proxy: Oh, just show you the consequences, Avery. Proxy: You made a powerful spirit, almost as…

Nino: Use healing hands to help Avery.

You try, however... Nothing seems to change this time around. You don't even feel your healing energy reducing. Does that mean you can't do anything for him, anymore? He really is just going to disappear? Nino: Take his hand. Let him feel some sort of warmth, even if he chooses to fade. You hesitate to reach out. Your eyes meet Avery's again. He's still waiting for an answer. But, you find yourself at a loss for words. At a time like this... what are you meant to say? In part, you'd like to apologize for not being able to heal him again, but... perhaps that's just what you want to tell yourself, to feel better about the situation. You know it's not what Avery wants to hear right now. Mei:…

Nino: Can healing substitute his need for borrowing?

Nino: Then...Nino: Are you okay with disappearing, Avery?Nino: You agreed to what I asked, even though, going by what you said,Nino: I pretty much just asked you to die, didn't I.Nino: Is that really okay with you?Avery?: ...Nino: ...Of course not, huh.Nino: You were right.Nino: It's not easy to just ask anyone to accept something like that,Nino: Even if it's a spirit. Nino: So instead, how about... if we give you a reason to be fulfilled instead?Avery?: Huh...?Meimona: Right! You said spirits harm people because of their regrets, right?Meimona: Soooo, couldn't fixing what's making you all bummed out be the solution?Avery?: That's... true, yes.Avery?: But there has never been anyone who said they'd help us do that,Avery?: Much less, understood us enough to think of it...Nino: Well, even though I'm…

Why... be nice to me now...?Avery?: Even though I hurt you so much, why...Meimona: Um... well...Meimona: I think it's clear that we beat you hard enough that you're not a threat now,Meimona: And there's no need to go overboard if you're not gonna fight us anymore...Meimona: Since it looks like you understand the kind of situation you're in now.Avery?: ...Meimona: Sure doesn't smell like you wanna get yourself hurt again either, right?Meimona: Well, same here! So, wanna call a truce?Meimona: That way, neither of us has to worry about the…

Who am I?

Whoever it is, I don't think it's someone that brave, like I hoped I was. My few memories consist only of cowering in fear. I was a boy no one wanted, who didn't even have parents in his life. No family, no home, no love, and no purpose - because the moment I was born, I had already failed to qualify for anything I might have been useful for. The last thing I remember was a short-lived struggle in the darkness. At the end of it all, I cried out, alongside a thousand souls, all at once... "Your majesty, please save us". There are various saviours a lost soul could reach out to for a miracle. For me, I knew there was only one that I could plead with upon…

Nino: Stop crying first, and listen. Nino: Use forceful means if necessary. Nino: Read my memories.Nino: Then, show me what you see.Spirit: U...uua...?Nino: You can do that very easily, can't you?Nino: So hurry up, or, I'll do something worse than just killing you.Nino: Who knows, maybe I'll cut off an arm or two first.Spirit: G...GGGWAH!
