10 10 301 Your vision twirls and a dream-like scene unfolds before you.

12 12 301 The entrance is clean and tidy, with sunlight shining through the window from outside. You can almost smell the freshly baked bread in the air. The tiny speckles of dust spin and float in the light.
13 13 301 You can hear the girls' laughter coming from deep inside their room. Everything is calm and pleasant.
14 14 301 The bizarre vision takes you aback, but the sense that this has happened to you, that this is a real memory, is unmistakable.

16 16 301 1 This sensation is also transmitted to No. 21, who is fully synchronized with you. She almost stops breathing, and you can feel the angst and confusion in her boiling M.I.N.D.
17 17 301 As if unconsciously, she walks into the living room.
34 34 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Time has left its marks, the broken glass cutting across the photo. Your gaze goes through the dusty air, past the cracked glass, traveling through time, stopping at the faces on the photo. Faces that you recognize.
35 35 401 1 54
36 36 301 You have seen them before, in another M.I.N.D.
37 37 301 Jumbled thoughts fly in your head as you try to come up with the perfect answer to this, but it is all in vain.
57 57 301 1 Asimov? During a "memory flashback," you will be completely pulled into a memory spiral. This overload of information will make you unable to control your body and perceive what is happening around you. 1
58 58 301 Asimov? In other words, you will randomly fall into a chaotic storm of memories without warning. 1
59 59 301 Asimov? Some of your... repressed... or supposedly... forgotten thoughts... 1
66 66 301 1 Madness, hatred, the desire to destroy... The corruption on the mind from the Polyphage seeps into you—yet, so does the yearning from Luna.
86 86 301 1 "Bombard your consciousness. Bombard your consciousness. Bombard your consciousness. Bombard your consciousness. Bombard your consciousness. Bombard your consciousness." 1
112 112 301 DialogEnable Faces spin and merge and switch in your head, and you can no longer understand the broken words spoken by their gaping mouths.
113 113 301 Noises and images flood your consciousness like a dam burst, and you are lost in the memory current, floating aimlessly in the dead, dark ocean, your hands grasping in the air to no avail.

115 115 301 1 Lucia? Luna... 1

117 117 301 The invading darkness is picking up the pace, the only light in the air diminishing—
123 123 301 Your mind is dragged back to reality by a sharp pain. You open your eyes, and you do not find the Polyphage, nor Lucia, Asimov, or the dying Luna.
124 124 301 AniZhuanchangBegin You only see the reflection of a pair of gray pupils inches away from you.
127 127 301 AniZhuanchangEnd 1 No. 21 ...You were losing your mind. It was messy. I didn't feel good. 1

129 129 301 No. 21 throws away the piece of broken glass in her hand and roughly wipes away the vital fluid dripped on the floor, her reflection in it distorting and vanishing with her action.
130 130 301 It is then you can see what has happened—she has cut herself with a sharp object, and her vital fluid drips down her sleeves.
131 131 201 1 500328
132 132 301 1 No. 21 Pain wakes you. 1
133 133 302 ...I'm sorry. 134
134 134 204 1
135 135 301 No. 21 Sorry? 1
136 136 301 She repeats the word you just said, seemingly confused by what it means in this context.
137 137 302 I'm sorry you have to hurt yourself to wake me. 138 I'm sorry I lost my composure during a mission. 138
138 138 204 1
139 139 301 No. 21 shakes her head. Despite not seeing her wound, you can tell she has made a deep cut based on the speed she is losing vital fluid. But she still looks calm and composed, as if the pain is nothing extraordinary.
140 140 204 1 4
141 141 301 No. 21 It doesn't compromise my fighting. 1
142 142 301 No. 21 Do you know the people in the photo? 1
150 150 301 1 Rebecca You seemed to have found some interesting leads, didn't you? I noticed that you had stayed for quite some time at an unrelated location. 1
151 151 301 Rebecca After you deal with that, you'll return to where the leads were and continue your investigation. 1
156 156 301 The vague stance Kurono has been taking now makes sense to you. "Leads" no longer meant the fluctuating M.I.N.D. or the marks left by the third party since then.
164 164 301 Before you, the environment alternates between dark and gloomy, and bright and colorful.
165 165 302 (...Is this what you want me to see?) 166 (In that case... let's see what you've had in store.) 166
166 166 301 This is where Luna lived when she was still human, before the Punishing Virus even existed on this planet.
167 167 302 Let's investigate. 168

169 169 301 1 No. 21 Is this a mission? 1
170 170 302 Yes. 171

172 172 301 No. 21 I understand. Your mission. 1
173 173 302 Ready? 174
174 174 301 No. 21 ...Yes. 1
175 175 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin The heartbeat of the artificial heart in her chest and yours, situated thousands of miles away on Babylonia, miraculously sync.
