3 3 301 DialogEnable Senses are like a rock that has fallen into a torrent, corroded and washed away by the mud over countless years.
4 4 301 The numerous scars on your body are taking their toll on you. If this goes on, you will lose your sanity.
5 5 301 How did you manage to maintain your most basic form? The flickering light could no longer gather its thoughts to ponder such a question.
6 6 301 In the memories that you have collected, one thing is for sure... You are reliving Liv's past.
7 7 301 She too was once lost in the sea of memories and death, struggling, pierced, and torn apart.
8 8 302 ...Liv. 9
9 9 302 Liv... 10
10 10 302 ... 11
11 11 301 You have lost count of how many times you call her.
12 12 301 In this muddy torrent, every effort you make will end up in vain.
13 13 301 And things stay that way for a long, long time.
14 14 301 Following the muddy torrent of data, you drift toward the end of the world... until you feel the wind that carries a soft singing voice.
15 15 301 It is supposed to be a lullaby, but instead, it awakens those who lie dormant.
16 16 301 It is supposed to be a song sung in a cage, but instead, it delivers the key of freedom to the imprisoned.
17 17 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Following the singing voice to its source, you realize this empty world is slowly growing realistic. The souls drifting in chaos have finally found a safe haven to rest their weary minds.
22 22 301 AniZhuanchangEnd The summer breeze comes through the window and lifts the silk curtain, as warm as the day you left.
23 23 301 The bird Liv helped save remains in its cage silently, trying not to show its fear.
24 24 301 No matter how the wind blows on this night, it no longer dares spread its wings and fly again.
25 25 301 The house you once shared with your companions is as you remember it to be.
26 26 301 Raindrops fall on the exterior walls and the blossoming flowers on the windowsill, which silently remember how many days the girl has spent next to the window, waiting.
27 27 301 Those days that she dreams about have long turned into a cage of loneliness, but still, she remains here like a lantern forgotten in an abandoned house.
28 28 301 ...She is just like the bird in the cage.
29 29 301 The nightmare is never gone. She just covers it up with her own dream.
30 30 302 ... 31
31 31 301 The memories of awakening to reality and the echoes once lingering in the void are calling to you.
32 32 301 It is only by destroying her dream will the bird in the cage be able to return to its previous habitat.
33 33 301 But is that really something you should do?
34 34 301 You've been living in her dream for a decade, and every day is full of peace and love.
35 35 301 This is the world she longs for. The world that everyone wants to see. And one day in the future, it will become a reality.
36 36 301 But this future is far away and out of reach. Before you have a chance to get there, thousands of lives will be buried in the snow of winter.
37 37 301 If things are destined to end up in ruins, why not embrace this beautiful dream and stay away from the cruel reality?
38 38 302 But this is not my choice to make. 39
39 39 301 Before you are presented with this opportunity, countless people have to choose between life and death.
40 40 301 To realize this peaceful dream, they light up the dark and clear a way leading to that future.
41 41 302 If we give up now, their effort will go to waste.
42 42 301 This is Liv's dream. It is all the more reason to believe that she will not give it up.
43 43 302 AniZhuanchangBegin I should go talk to her. 44
47 48 301 Upon hearing someone knocking on the door, the girl quickly comes down from upstairs as fast as a cat running in the moonlight. She opens the door and jumps into the arms of the person she has long awaited.
48 49 302 Sorry that I kept you waiting. 50
49 50 301 Liv It's okay... I'm just glad you are back now. 1
50 51 301 She is slightly trembling, fearing that this phantom will vanish if she hugs too hard.
51 52 302 I'm right here. 53 (Hug Liv) 53
52 53 301 Liv Yes... Commandant... 1
53 54 302 ...Liv, actually... 55
54 55 301 Despite your reluctance, it is time to say goodbye.
55 56 204 1 14
56 57 301 Liv I know... 1
57 58 301 Liv I have always known. 1
58 59 301 With her eyes watering, the girl bids farewell first.
59 60 301 Liv ...This is but a remaining dream left in my M.I.N.D. 1
60 61 301 Liv And you have come to collect my M.I.N.D. shards. That's why you are here, Commandant. 1
61 62 301 Liv You are m... our Commandant. 1
62 63 301 This time, she addresses you by your title, but she cannot keep her emotions under control.
63 64 301 ...And she doesn't have to anymore.
64 65 301 Liv To find you and everyone else, I've been searching everywhere in this world. 1
65 66 301 Liv Though it took me a lot of time, I finally... found myself. 1
66 67 301 You look to where Liv is looking and find the white bird in the cage still dancing with the wind. 1
67 68 302 ...Is it that bird? 69
68 69 301 Liv Yes... That bird is my M.I.N.D. shard. 1
69 70 302 ...Then you are...? 71
70 71 301 Before falling into her dream, you have experienced many such illusionary realms in search of her shards. This is because Asimov used Spear of F.O.S. to visualize data.
71 72 301 Usually, Liv's M.I.N.D. shards are represented in her image as they wander where the memories intertwine.
72 73 301 Liv ...I am just a dream left in the M.I.N.D. I'm an entity imagined by that white bird. 1
73 74 301 Liv Do you remember what happened before you came here? 1
78 80 301 AniZhuanchangEnd You were searching for the sixth M.I.N.D. shard... And you thought it was what happened in the last memory.
79 81 301 When humanity is overwhelmed by the horde of Hetero-Creatures and the Corrupted, no matter how they struggle, the pathetic effort won't be enough for them to touch the light in the sky.
80 82 302 Liv! 83
81 83 301 The shout is lost in the crowd and unable to reach the girl who has vanished into the light.
82 84 301 Just like a bird that voluntarily stays in its cage, so long as the Empyrea frame can grant her the strength to change and save things, no matter how much pain that cage brings, Liv will face it.
83 85 301 Perhaps if you stay here, one day you will have the chance to see her?
84 86 301 But the enemies coming from behind do not think so.
85 87 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Upon noticing this, blood starts dripping down from where your head once suffered a trauma. The unbearable pain pulls at your Mind Beacon and plunges it into the ocean of chaos and corruption.
110 112 301 RImgBg1Shake The sound of that white bird flapping its wings comes from outside the window. Just like the cage, this space too starts to shake.
111 113 301 Before everything falls apart, Liv puts your hands on her chest. You can still feel the warmth of her teardrops in your palm.
112 114 301 Liv And it is time you leave. 1
113 115 302 What about you? 116
114 116 301 Liv I am part of this dream. I must stay for the dream to be completely destroyed. 1
115 117 302 ... 118
116 118 301 Liv The last shard is supposed to exist only after I have experienced "death." 1
117 119 301 Liv After all, that's how my memories played out... But you are here now. Take it with you. 1
118 120 301 The white bird finally opens its cage and puts a golden key in Liv's hand, but then it turns around and lands on the shoulder of the person who is about to travel far.
119 121 301 Liv Farewell, Commandant. I'm sure we will meet again. 1
120 122 301 Liv Even though reality is filled with challenges and pain, so long as you have friends fighting alongside you, this dream will come true someday in the future. 1
121 123 301 Liv I<//DREAM> will be waiting for you in the future. 1
122 124 301 The girl is shedding tears but smiling, waving goodbye to the light of her life.
123 125 301 Liv So, please come find me... when I'm all alone at the end of a snowfield. 1
124 126 301 Liv The last M.I.N.D. shard is right there. 1
