Dialogue

Laevatain

We meet again, Endmin. I wasn't expecting to run into you here.

Laevatain

Took the question out of my mouth. I had nothing to do with that big, noisy dude.

Laevatain

So you couldn't remember what just happened?

Laevatain

Memories aren't always true.

Laevatain

Sometimes they are replaced by deceptive illusions. And this place has plenty of false memories.

Laevatain

Don't you remember? I'm after the shadow that took my memories.

Laevatain

These twisted beings are created from your memories. And since you don't know how to tell the truth apart yet, things can get pretty dangerous.

Laevatain

Seems like you've learned of my identity.

Laevatain

You're the first person who managed to pull that off.

Laevatain

Very well. From this point forth, you shall be my fellow companion in this journey of memory search.

Laevatain

Mmhmm. Don't you want to find your memories?

Laevatain

But I gotta correct you on something. This isn't about "understanding your memories". It's more like "understanding your amnesiac self".

Endministrator

Is that ... my...?

Laevatain

"Memory of your own."

Laevatain

Anyway, you better stay with me.

Laevatain

Interested in me, huh? But isn't that because, deep down, you're curious and hopeful about finding your own memories?

Endministrator

Well...

Laevatain

Are those two ... friends of yours?

Laevatain

And does that make you worried?

Laevatain

Hmm... Then did you ever share these thoughts with others?

Endministrator

I'm afraid that Perlica, Chen ... and many others would be disappointed and lose faith because of my failings.

Endministrator

I'm afraid that Nefarith will be emboldened by my weakness.

Laevatain

That's why you kept "playing" the role of a powerful and resolute Endministrator... Even though you've got no idea who you actually are.

Endministrator

Yeah... I don't even know who I actually am.

Laevatain

You're doing a pretty good job already.

Laevatain

I'll be honest with you. I've been dealing with the same issue. I'm afraid I won't know who I really am.

Laevatain

I have the fire, a sword, and a name... However, I have no memories, no stories, and no past to speak of.

Laevatain

I'm afraid that the only thing I have is the name "Laevatain", and beyond that ... I have nothing. I am nothing but an empty shell.

Endministrator

An "empty shell"... Maybe I'm the same thing.

Laevatain

No, you're different! You have a mission and you fight for it, while I —

Laevatain

Heh! This feels like we're competing for... the title of Chief Amnesiac.

Laevatain

Two souls with lost memories, getting worried and trying to make the other feel better. Can't think of a sadder story than this.

Laevatain

That's why we're fellow companions, right?

Laevatain

So, my fellow companion. Time to finally reveal the answer.

Laevatain

Why's that...?

Radio

Endministrator

That's Tata!

Laevatain

"Tata"...? Now that's a lovely name.

Help...! Will Endfield come and save us...?

I

Illusion of a UWST Crew Mate (Illusion of UWST Crew Mate A)

We must call the Endmin...

I

Illusion of Rhodagn (Rhodagn)

Trash! Scream all you want! He'll never come!

I

Illusion of Rhodagn (Rhodagn)

No one leaves here alive! I'm burning you all to cindahhh!

Endministrator

Stop right there!

I

Illusion of Rhodagn (Rhodagn)

For the boss!

Endministrator

How is this possible...? I've defeated him already...

Laevatain's Voice (Laevatain)

Then we just silence him again.

Endministrator

...Laevatain?!

I

Illusion of Rhodagn (Rhodagn)

YOUR "SAVIOR" CANNOT KILL ME!

Radio

Endministrator

Hope I can find her...

Laevatain

Go take a look. We should be able to find some traces.

I

Illusion of the Endministrator

I planted this Oak to secure the continuation of life and civilization...

I

Illusion of the Endministrator

...to rescue your new homes from the brink of death...

I

Illusion of the Endministrator

...to pave a path that leads to the future...

I

Illusion of the Endministrator

Though years have passed, I remain bereft of my due... The seeds of justice and benevolence yielded nothing...

I

Illusion of the Endministrator

...nothing save your base instincts of greed and malice, and your perpetual propensity for envy and hatred...

I

Illusion of a UWST Crew Mate (Illusion of UWST Crew Mate A)

We have sinned...

Laevatain

Eww. That's the old you?

I

Illusion of the Endministrator

And why do you deserve the salvation I bring?

Laevatain

Seems like you're not ready for this...

I

Illusion of a Civilian (Illusion A)

Just give us a chance...

I

Illusion of the Masses

Are you still the savior? Have we lost ... all hope?

I

Illusion of the Endministrator

Pay for your sins!

Endministrator

What was my past ... actually like...?

Endministrator

...No.

I

Illusion of the Masses

Deliver us...! Help us escape this nightmare!

Dialogue

Endministrator

Hoo... Sorry. I hesitated a bit.

Laevatain

For people like us, facing the past can be ... quite a challenge. Don't blame yourself too much.

Laevatain

You figured it out at the last moment.

Laevatain

Hur. That's true. I would have hated that "almighty savior" and that stupid speech.

Laevatain

I'd rather have you like this.

Endministrator

Thanks, but I still have one question... Does this version of me ... count as the true "Endministrator"?

Laevatain

Then I got another question in return... Who am I?

Endministrator

I asked first...

Laevatain

Who. Am. I?

Endministrator

Alright... Laevatain...

Laevatain

Reconvener?

Endministrator

Yes. You are Surtr's...

Laevatain

Surtr... She left me nothing ... but a jumbled heap of memories.

Laevatain

Other reconveners, with their memories, know who they "could" be, what they "should" do. But I got nothing ... except delusional memories.

Laevatain

Like someone stranded at sea, parched. Got water everywhere, but none of it quenches your thirst.

Endministrator

...

Laevatain

I guess they woke you up, said you are their "Endmin", then instantly got you in all sorts of mess, right?

Endministrator

It really feels like I'm trying to become someone else.

Laevatain

Yet that someone else is but yourself.

Endministrator

Yeah...

Laevatain

Getting trapped by the past ... and doing everything you can to break out of it.

Laevatain

I got the same problems. So, since Surtr didn't give me an answer, I decided to look for it myself.

Laevatain

If you're confused, then just look around for the lost memories... Then you can see what the true Endmin was like.

Endministrator

Memories... Can they be found that easily?

Laevatain

If the two of us work together, the search might be a little easier.

Endministrator

Together...?

Laevatain

As your companion, I shall help you find your lost memories. Consider this a promise.

Laevatain

So, Endmin, have anything to say to that?

Endministrator

Where are we going next?

Laevatain

Next location ... next Protocol Space. Since you're around, we'll probably end up finding something for once.

Endministrator

Okay, then. Let's go.

Radio

Endministrator

The old me before the amnesia ... planted a Great Oak here.

Laevatain

So that's the old you?

Laevatain

But you probably should take a closer look.

Endministrator

That's Andre and Jenner...

Maymay

I remember her...

M

Maymay

I got a temporary assignment at the Quarry. I, uh, miscalculated the explosive payload. I was in a shaft with a mining crew, and we got trapped by falling rocks.

M

Maymay

Everyone got really depressed and began writing their wills. Lucky for us, the huge stone blocking the exit was cut right in half.

M

Maymay

That must've been the work of your red-haired girl. No mistake about that.

M

Maymay

Ooh, Endmin. You wanna talk?

M

Maymay

Here. The report of that incident.

Radio

Laevatain

Careful! The real enemies are behind the illusions!
