• Nino: Oh hey, the pot here has stuff in it!
• Five: Ooo, what's this... tiny stick?
• Aria: That's an incense stick!
• Nino: Did you miss this while checking earlier or something?
• Reed: No... it just didn't seem important enough to mention.
• Nino: No way, EVERYTHING here could be important, dude!
• Nino: Don't skip any of the details next time, you hear!?
• Reed: Then you should join the goddamned search instead of barking orders at us.
• Meimona: Hey, this makes no sense!
• Meimona: You use incense for good smells, like when you have guests over...
• Meimona: But who the heck would ever visit these super hidden rooms?
• Reed: I'm sure the big shots here are aware of their existence, at least.
• Nino: Aurora didn't seem to know THIS much, though.
• Nino: If she did know, then she sure kept it to herself.
• Five: I don't think Aurora lied!
• Five: Because... Aurora hates liars and lying, sooo much!
• Meimona: Yeah, agreed! She's a good, HONEST kid.
• Reed: Note that last part - kid.
• Reed: Not someone you'd trust with this kind of information, is it?
• Aria: Mhm. She probably has no real knowledge about what's hidden here.
• Nino: This is all likely top secret stuff...
• Aria: By the way, the stick does look like it's been used before.
• Aria: I can even smell slight smoke from it!
• Meimona: So there really are people coming all the way here? The heck...
• Reed: The other room had some more incense in it too, by the way.

Nino: Try finding a way to light up the unlit torch on one or both of the rooms.

• Aria: Could the sticks be some kind of clue?
• Meimona: I dunno! Try burning one of them and see what happens!
• Meimona: Auh, wait, how're we gonna do that, though...
• Nino: Wait, speaking of!
• Nino: Is there any way we could set the torches on fire, too?
• Meimona: Weeell, same way we could light up the incense with?
• Aria: I know! We can use one of the torches in the central room to do that!
• Meimona: Oh yeah! Alright then, let's go do that!
• Reed: Backtracking again?
• Reed: Nah, let's not.

Reed: Use LEVEL-03 HEATSTORM to light the torch.

• Reed: There. Way more convenient.
• Meimona: Woooaaaah!
• Five: Fire... big fire!
• Aria: Oh my, how convenient indeed!
• Nino: Wow! That's kind of overkill, though...
• Meimona: Who cares, it looks COOL as HECK!

Party: Light only the torch in the diamond eye room - leave the other room dark.

Nino and Aria: Stand on the diamond pupiled eye.

• Meimona: Nino! Go stand on the eye!
• Nino: W-what? Why me?
• Meimona: It's got your symbol on it, duh!
• Meimona: Aria, too! Get together now, you two!
• Nino: Huh. Alright, why not...
• Aria: What about Reed?
• Meimona: Oh, whoops. I forgot he's one of you too.
• Meimona: I tooootally don't think of him as more robo-boy than human sometimes.
• Reed: ...You can't be serious.
• Meimona: Eheheheheheh! C'mon, group up!
• Five: All humans... together!
• Five: Stand on big eye! And hold hands!
• Reed: What? No.
• Aria: Aww, c'mon! It's harmless fun!
• Nino: He's scared of your icky cooooooooties.
• Aria: I-I have gloves on, it's fine! C'mon.
• Reed: ...Not gonna deny the cooties thing...?

---->

• Aria: Ummm... what now?
• Reed: Well, nothing seems to be happening.
• Nino: Eh, it costs nothing to try stuff out.
• Reed: Other than wasting my time, sure.
• Five: Reed... is the evil cootie upsetting you?
• Reed: That is not real, Five. Don't believe everything weird these guys say.
• Aria: Reed, are you, possibly... upset that Mei forgot to include you at first?
• Reed: No. I just kinda hate this genre of dungeon, actually.
• Reed: Can't they design things more straightforward for once?
• Nino: Let me guess, you want a linear dungeon to play? A literal hallway?
• Reed: If the alternative is backtracking 10 times just to move to the next room?
• Reed: Then damn right I do.
• Nino: Hah! At least non-linear dungeons make you use your brains, for once.
• Reed: At least the hallway respects my damn time, you know?
• Aria: Stop getting sidetracked! We're not in a game...
• Meimona: Let's go light up the other torch! It'll probably do the trick!

---->

• Aria: Guys, wait... look at the mural!
• Aria: It's glowing!
• Meimona: What the heck? How's it doing that!?
• Nino: Oh! That corresponds to the torch we just lit up, doesn't it?
• Reed: So... lighting up the other one should complete the mural, huh.
• Meimona: Whoa, so this thing is like a DUNGEON MAP!!!
• Nino: Let's go try it out!

Ludwig: Stand on the crescent pupiled eye.

• Meimona: Ludwig, boy! Sit right here!
• Ludwig: Brork?
• Nino: Why Ludwig specifically?
• Meimona: Well, the symbol's neither human nor monster, sooo...
• Meimona: Maybe it stands for a secret third thing, liiike spirits!
• Reed: Oh, so that's why you brought him in this time.
• Aria: Hey! My Ludwig's no spirit!
• Reed: Eh. He looks close enough if you ask me.
• Aria: No way! He's a LOYAL boy. Not a filthy backstabber.
• Nino: ...Good thing your spirit buddy isn't here to get offended by that, I guess?
• Meimona: Now, Reed! Light up the torch, do it!
• Reed: On it.
• Five: Oooh! Here it comes, Boyfriend!
• Five: BIIIIIIIIIIG fire! Hahahahahahahahah!
• Boyfriend: MOAW...!?!?
• Aria: Hey, don't get carried away up there!
• Nino: You're raising her to be a little arsonist...
• Meimona: Blame his arm-cannon-thingies for being so dang cool!
• Reed: Yeah. Not my fault that burning things objectively looks cool, either.
• Aria: That's not true!
• Five: It is true! It's soooooo daaaaarn coooool!!!
• Aria: ... D:

Party: Check the mural again.

• Aria: Look, it's glowing on the other side now!
• Aria: But the door's still locked...
• Meimona: Siiiigh, that means nothing happened again!
• Meimona: And here I thought my eye-symbol-matching idea was soooo genius. :[
• Nino: I think the temple's just not on your level of puzzle design...
• Aria: Hey, doesn't the timing of each glow seem mismatched to you guys?
• Reed: Yeah. I think we missed the correct solution somehow.
• Meimona: Shouldn't we get a key as a reward for all that work, at least?
• Meimona: I mean, making this mural glow has gotta be part of the solution!
• Nino: If the glowing parts correspond to the torches, then...
• Nino: Maybe we just have to make the rhythm match up.
• Meimona: But how would we do that?
• Aria: Maybe we have to light them up at the same time?
• Nino: Yeah, probably! That's the only thing I can think of.
• Meimona: Oooh! So we should split up and try it again!
• Aria: First, we'll need a way to light up the torches on both ends...
• Nino: And a way to make sure we do it at the exact same time, too.
• Meimona: Auh, now how the heck could we possibly synchronize any of this?
• Reed: ...Sigh.
• Reed: If that's what it comes down to,
• Reed: Then I guess I can do something convenient again.

Reed: *POP*

• Nino: Woah! Your arm...!
• Meimona: I-it came right off!
• Reed: Look. We're going to split up. I'll be on one end,
• Reed: And someone else can take the other way with my other cannon.
• Reed: That ensures we can light up both of the torches on demand.
• Reed: You following so far?
• Meimona: Ummm... yeah.
• Nino: I... believe so, yep.
• Meimona: That is so cool though, dude.
• Aria: Reed... does that hurt?
• Reed: ...No. Not at all.
• Reed: Don't you guys know what a prosthetic is?
• Reed: You can just take those off and stuff.
• Aria: Ohh! Right, yes...
• Reed: This really shouldn't be mindblowing at all, you know.
• Nino: I think we're just... taken aback by how casual you're acting!
• Reed: It's just an arm. Stop overreacting.

---->

• Reed: Anyway, now for the communication part...
• Reed: My phone can connect to the embedded device in my other arm.
• Reed: So, someone on the other side will take both the arm cannon and phone.
• Reed: I'll establish a connection between the phone and the embedded device,
• Reed: And then we can communicate via voice.
• Reed: That way, we'll be able to control the timing on lighting up the torches.
• Reed: You got all that?
• Nino: Hang on, your arm's a SECOND PHONE too!?
• Aria: How... how supremely convenient!
• Meimona: Woooooooow, you don't even need to carry that mobile phone around!
• Reed: ...Uh-huh.
• Reed: Now to see which one of you is responsible enough for this.
• Reed: Err... Aria? Can you, uh... take the cannon?
• Reed: you're already a good markswoman, so...
• Aria: Yes, yes, absolutely! Leave it to me!
• Aria: I just have to light the torch with it, right?
• Reed: Yeah. I'll try to make this simple and easy for you.
• Reed: Just press this one button right here to make the cannon do a quick blast.
• Aria: Alright...
• Reed: Do not press anything else.
• Reed: And don't hold the button down, either.
• Aria: Oh, um, okay.
• Reed: Everything's perfectly set up.
• Reed: Do not try to change anything about it, ever.
• Aria: O-okay, okay! I got it...!
• Reed: And don't do anything with the phone besides talking into it, either.
• Reed: But, hm... handling both seems like a handful for one person.
• Reed: Someone should stick with you to hold the phone and give you the timing.

---->

• Meimona: Oooh, can I go with-
• Aria: Ah! Nino, could you come with-
• Meimona: Wuh... nevermind, then! That's okay!
• Aria: ...Huh?
• Nino: Oh?
• Aria: ...Oh my, you can come with me if you want, Mei!
• Meimona: Nonononono, it's alright! I'll be fine!
• Meimona: You can go with Nino instead, if you prefer!
• Aria: But, you spoke up first...
• Meimona: Naaaah, it's cool! I don't mind at all!
• Nino: Shhhhh, ladies, ladies!
• Nino: There's no need to argue like that.

---->

• Nino: The three of us can go together!
• Nino: That's all good with you, right, Reed?
• Reed: Huh.
• Nino: Sorry, dude, but as you can see,
• Nino: The girls are allllll over me today, apparently.
• Nino: Nothing I can do about that, you know?
• Aria: Eugh.
• Meimona: Wow.

---->

• Aria: Actually, Mei and I should just go together.
• Meimona: Ahaaa, that suddenly sounds MUCH better, yes.
• Nino: What!?
• Aria: And you two can take the other path!
• Meimona: Yeah! We don't want you no more, stinky Ninoooo.
• Nino: But- but you just-
• Aria: Besides, a two-and-two split seems more even, doesn't it?
• Meimona: Come on, Aria! Let's beat them to the other side!
• Meimona: It's girls versus booooys!
• Reed: Okay, glad that's settled.
• Reed: Mei gets the phone.
• Meimona: Lemme take care of the cannon instead, Reed!
• Reed: No. You'll do the communicating.
• Reed: I don't trust you not to play with fire.
• Meimona: Boooo! Fiiiiine...
• Five: I wanna... go with Aria! Wanna see big fire again!
• Aria: Hmmm... alright, just don't get too close to it, okay?
• Aria: This time, I'm going to teach you proper fire safety. ^^
• Nino: HEY, don't ignore me! Weren't you just asking to go toge-
• Meimona: LALALALALALALA, can't hear youuuuu!
• Meimona: LET'S GO, GIRLS! ONWARDS!

---->

• Nino: No, wait, c-come back...
• Nino: I didn't mean it, guys! I...
• Nino: I just wanted to feel POPULAR, dammit!
• Reed: ...You were saying?
• Nino: H-haha, sorry about that, Reed! I was joking!
• Nino: Between the two of us, we'll get this done way faster anyway! Probably...
• Reed: You don't have to sound that disappointed about it.
• Nino: I-I'm not! I just, uhhh...
• Nino: Hey, you're not really offended by that, are you?
• Reed: As if I'd care.
• Reed: Go follow them if you want to.
• Reed: I'm used to working alone anyway.
• Nino: ...Uuuh... nah...
• Nino: I think I'll stick with you.
• Nino: It'll be annoying if they started mocking me again.
• Reed: With the way you acted? Oh, they definitely will.
• Nino: Yikes! I'd better just preserve what's left of my dignity here.
• Reed: You reap what you sow, idiot.

Nino: Hide in shame.

Nino: Fix that! Talk about something, anything.

--/-->

• Nino: Wait... that's not true, though?
• Nino: Maybe with Meimona, sure...
• Nino: But I think you're way closer to Aria than I am.
• Reed: ...Uh?
• Reed: No?
• Nino: What do you mean "no"?
• Reed: What do you mean I'm "way closer" to her?
• Reed: You're out of your mind if you think like that.
• Nino: I'm just stating an observation...
• Reed: Get real and stop talking nonsense.
• Reed: It just seems so because we went through some dangers together.
• Reed: That's literally all it is.

Nino: START YAPPING, FAST.

• Nino: Uuum! I gotta say, it's crazy how well prepared you are, man!
• Nino: You sure do take visiting this world seriously, huh?
• Reed: You have to.
• Reed: Especially if you're doing everything alone.
• Nino: Right, of course...
• Reed: Now focus on the task at hand.

• Reed: First, we need to put this fire out.
• Nino: Let's see, how can we do that... wait, oh, crap!
• Nino: I just realized they're gonna have to do that on their side too!
• Reed: Yeah? They'll probably figure it out on their own.
• Reed: If not, then we can just tell them how we did it.
• Nino: Oh... you're right, yeah.
