What's wrong with that Feranmut's Heart...?
Endministrator
What is this place...? Perlica? Chen? Arcane?

Endministrator
What...?
A
Ardashir
When your memories are gone, what of the duty you've always upheld —?
A
Ardashir
Is it truly a choice of yours ... or something forced upon you?
Perlica
I still can't find any of you...!
Chen Qianyu
Perlica! Endmin! Li!
Arcane
Where are you?!

Dialogue
A
Ardashir
Finally quiet. Now ... it's just you and me.
A
Ardashir
Come, Endmin.
A
Ardashir
Here, we keep nothing from each other.
Radio
A
Ardashir
You are trapped by a meaningless duty that was never yours — a path already proven to end in utter defeat.
Perlica
I will find you...
Perlica
...Wait for me, Endmin.

Dialogue
A
Ardashir
The power of Feranmut "Sui" is remarkable. I am honored to witness your dream, Endmin.
A
Ardashir
I said it many times. A proper conversation with you.
Endministrator
...About what?
A
Ardashir
Remember the choices I gave you?
A
Ardashir
Bring the Wulingers and leave. My aim is just to open the Very Large Rift.
A
Ardashir
To find the "Exiles" in the Ætherside.
Endministrator
Who are the "Exiles"?
A
Ardashir
Come with me. Return to the place 'neath the aurora's crown, the origin of all life. There lies the truth you seek.
A
Ardashir
If my words caused you grief, then I shall apologize.
A
Ardashir
Keep this dinar.
A
Ardashir
The conquered lord whose hoard I acquired escapes my memories, but not the friend who last held it...
A
Ardashir
It's always been my favorite dinar.
A
Ardashir
O the final lord I served...
A
Ardashir
...I beseech thee, change thy ways.
A
Ardashir
The very few Terrans who witnessed the Exiles call them...
Endministrator
This place... I saw it in a dream.
Endministrator
What do you want?
A
Ardashir
I do not know. Perhaps I should talk about myself again. Did I tell you about my home in Kjersch?
A
Ardashir
I lived by a cliff where I could gaze upon a valley completely covered in snow. It was a place that delighted me.
A
Ardashir
The valley was filled with shiny headstones ... they were like barnacles. They died for me. The wind and snow hosted their funerary rites.
Endministrator
......
A
Ardashir
Oh, yes, I had another home on the other side of the Cosmic Gate. A place of gold and windswept sands...
A
Ardashir
Beyond the gate they called me "Pasha".
A
Ardashir
Heh. It felt like a lifetime ago. That arrogant empire is probably broken to pieces...
Endministrator
Wait. The other side of the Cosmic Gate? Have you lived for more than a hundred years?
A
Ardashir
Yes. So, you are finally interested in me.
A
Ardashir
But life is fair. I only performed the despicable theft of lives from those I held dear ... for the cruel torture of my own longevity.
Endministrator
And now you threaten even more innocent lives...
Endministrator
Choices?
Endministrator
...For what?
A
Ardashir
They were once the source of your despair. Of course, you also became their nightmare.
A
Ardashir
The Foundation.
Endministrator
...The Foundation. The force that backs the likes of you.
A
Ardashir
See. You still understand this tongue.
A
Ardashir
Once we return, my life is yours to dispose, however you wish.
Perlica
Endmin...
Perlica
...I will find you...
Endministrator
I refuse.
A
Ardashir
*Sigh*... Alright, then.
A
Ardashir
Even without memories, your judgment remains unclouded by an alluring offer.
Radio
A
Ardashir
Be careful where you tread.
Endministrator
...Who are you?
A
Ardashir
Ardashir. A Phidia. And a traveler.
A
Ardashir
You should have directed that question ... to yourself.
A
Ardashir
You carry the future of Terra and Talos-II, yet no one cares about your sacrifice.
A
Ardashir
But I witnessed your disappointment and despair...
A
Ardashir
...multiple times.

Where are they?
A
Ardashir
No fear. They are safe. Your companions are exceptional.
A
Ardashir
...Still, after so many years, so many awakenings, barely a few stayed true to you till the end.
Endministrator
You know my past...
A
Ardashir
We last met ten years ago. When I learned of your reawakening, I left Kjersch to look upon your expedition from afar.
A
Ardashir
But it was yet another tragedy. Your wounds from betrayal were grievous.
A
Ardashir
Over a century of futile labor... Numerous lives at stake. Will this game ever end?

Keep hiding your secrets. Once I stop you, I shall reveal the truths myself.
