Perlica
Endmin, how are you feeling now? Are you alright?
Perlica
After all that's happened recently ... have any of your memories returned to you?
Dialogue
Perlica
Did you have any dreams recently? What did you see in those dreams?
Perlica
Is that so...
Perlica
It's alright, Endmin. You have a strong bond to this land. Those feelings will slowly come back.
Perlica
As we journey on, you will encounter more people and events connected to you. Perhaps a day will come ... when your lost memories return.
Endministrator
Hm? A flash of fire...?
Perlica
It's okay. Take a deep breath and close your eyes. Try and recall what's happened so far...

Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
You fight well, even though you don't look it.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
No wonder. I can feel that ... meeting you here is no simple coincidence.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Not only did I lose my memories ... my mind's filled with experiences that weren't even mine to begin with.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
This is a place constructed with memories. Everything we see is taken from our memories and transcribed by Originium.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
"Protocol Space"? That's the name, huh... What about you? Are you here looking for memories too?
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Only those who forgot their past end up in this place. And you happen to be one of them.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Worse than that.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Including those monsters.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Let's move. We'll search around for hidden memories, then I'll take you out of this place.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
So I found a way to come here. I'll figure out where I'm from, what I actually did, and ... who I'm *actually* supposed to be.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
What do you think? I came here chasing after them.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
This is my past. I ran to the middle of an icefield alone in search for buried truths.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Yes. A very long time ago — it almost felt like someone else's experience.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Dreams... They're like memories at times. Feel almost real while they happen. But when you think back on them later ... you'd realize how ridiculous they are.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Let's keep looking.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
A dream?
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
In those memories, I vanquished countless foes with fire and a greatsword.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
But why was I fighting? Who were the enemies? And are those memories truly mine...?
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Everything remains unknown.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
This prayer again...
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Yes.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
I have all sorts of memories ... where "I" was in different situations, had different identities, and did different things.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Hmph. I hope not.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Warriors of the icefield. I once stood alongside them as we faced something beyond our understanding.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Oh? Tell me more about it.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Yes. But ... I couldn't recall the outcomes of that battle.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Mission? Your memories are making me curious.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Those who pick it up will be granted tremendous power.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
But the sword shall burn on until its wielder turns to cinders.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
It's very quiet now, at least.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
I once saw a sword like this...
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Looks like it ... though not quite.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Regardless, this isn't important.
Radio
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Memories often hide deep here. We'll have a good look around.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Hmm. It seems something is still missing...

Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Tsk... Another battlefield.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
I always see sights like this at the end of the memory lane...

Time to look for her in Valley IV.

Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
A place you shouldn't be.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Leave now, for your own good.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Oh? How unexpected... Another intruder in this place.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
You're lost? Getting out won't be easy, unless you "remember".
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
You clearly don't understand, do you? Well then, follow me.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Until I find out who I am, there is no stopping me.
M
Mysterious Illusion (Illusion of Laevatain)
We meet again. You're actually slower this time.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Damn you. Are you trying to stop me again?
M
Mysterious Illusion (Illusion of Laevatain)
Ooh. You've got a companion? This feels rather refreshing.
M
Mysterious Illusion (Illusion of Laevatain)
Give up already. This is for your own good.
M
Mysterious Illusion (Illusion of Laevatain)
Then enjoy your aimless wandering ... till oblivion takes you.
M
Mysterious Illusion (Illusion of Laevatain)
Don't you understand? I'll never try to "stop" you. In fact, isn't my presence here the result you seek?
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Enough nonsense. There'll be no escape for you this time.
M
Mysterious Illusion (Illusion of Laevatain)
There are things you aren't meant to find... Let them disappear.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Stop right there!
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
It's an old wound. There's no way those creatures could hurt me.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
I will ... find you!
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
There were times when I came close to the truth ... but she had to ruin it all.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Chase her down. I must reclaim my memories.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Hmm... We shouldn't stay here any longer. In any case, thank you for your assistance, Endmin.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
It's not that hard of a guess. I can't think of anyone else who could enter a Protocol Space unscathed, fight Aggeloi, and run a pretty important mission...
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Meeting you has been fun...
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Someone who's always getting in my way.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
I've searched many places, but mostly in vain. This version of "me" always shows up at the very end.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Until next time.
Perlica
Endmin! Are you alright?
Perlica
What just happened?
Perlica
Who is she...?
Perlica
That does not sound normal...
Perlica
But I'm afraid we lack enough evidence to reach a proper conclusion.
Perlica
Did you just enter a Protocol Space...? This is quite unexpected...
Perlica
I'll try to look into this. Wait for my updates.
Fiona the Comms Officer
Hi, Endmin! We recently picked up a few strange Originium reactions across Valley IV. And —
Fiona the Comms Officer
Witness reports also mentioned some form of fire that accompanied those Originium reactions...
Fiona the Comms Officer
Wha? Endmin, you have a lead on this?
Fiona the Comms Officer
Then perhaps it is best to have you investigate this. I'll sync the coordinates to you.
Perlica
The Protocol Space is essentially a data shard within Originium... And if it includes data from past memories, they might be recreated within the Space as well.
Perlica
But finding the memories of a particular person is difficult. It's like hunting for a needle in a haystack.
Endministrator
Someone's up ahead...
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Over here. Be careful.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Looks like a certain memory of mine is avoiding me.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
However, I won't let it get away this time.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Come, let's get moving.
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Monsters again... You. Go hide somewhere.
Endministrator
They're Aggeloi...
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
Take out whatever's blocking the way!
Endministrator
Any thoughts?
Red-Haired Girl (Laevatain)
We silence these buggerloids.
