655301DialogEnableIn the absence of all the usual passersby, the quiet hallway appears more frigid than ever with the cold lights that illuminate the place. Standing alone in the middle of a passageway for a good few moments, you finally remember what you came to do here.
766302(It's about what I'm going to do after graduating.)7
877301Walking down the same passageway you've taken only too many times, you reach that certain office you can't be more familiar with before you know it. Right before you press the doorbell, however, you hear a weighty voice coming from inside the room.
988301???Come on in.100000428
10994012726
111010301Three green flashes later, the electronic lock unlocks, allowing the alloy door to part to either side.
121111302Good day, sir.

1413132011500299
1514143011Walking into the minimally decorated office, you see the man shutting off the sand table he was using for planning.
161515301InstructorI wanted to talk about your plan after graduation.1100000429
171616301He says without a moment's hesitation.
181717301InstructorI'm not going to stick my nose into your business, but I need to know your reasoning behind your decision as your instructor.1100000430
191818301InstructorWhy did you turn down Command Central's invitation and apply to be a frontline commandant at the Task Force?1100000431
201919301The shrewd eyes staring right at you now are the same eyes that have been watching every single student since you entered the school.
212020301You sense neither encouragement nor discontent from his tone—but solemness and gravity.
222121301There is no doubt that those eyes will see right through any petty lies and excuses you come up with.
232222302Because...23
242323301You can feel the world shaking violently as you open your mouth to speak.
252424301???C-Commandant... C-could you...100000441

333232301DialogEnable1Opening your eyes, you find yourself in the lounge with Liv standing right next to you. Looking at you with a worried expression, she has one hand on your shoulder while holding a medical device with the other.
343333301The screen on the table shows a report in the making. The first half of it seems normal enough, but the second half is littered with strings of garbled letters and symbols—a telltale sign that whoever was typing landed on the keyboard with their face.
353434302...35
363535301Rubbing your slightly numb face, you return your gaze to Liv.
373636301LivWhat are you doing sleeping here, Commandant? A little too tired, I guess?1100000442
383737302Don't worry. I was just taking a nap.38
393838204119
403939301Liv...1100000443
414040301None of the words put Liv's mind at ease. You put up your hands in defeat seeing Liv all concerned about you.
424141302And I thought I'd have a few check-ups done, too.42
434242302Liv, can I ask you to do me a favor?43
44434320411
454444301LivShift your head backward a little and remember to relax.1100000444
464545301Completing the check-up in a breeze, Liv lets out a sigh of relief.
474646302Is everything good?47How long do I have, Doc?49
484747301LivEverything is good, but I'd still suggest you go to bed earlier, Commandant.1100000445
49484851301Liv nods at you.
504949301LivIt depends on how you manage your health, Commandant. Going to sleep now, for example, will be mighty helpful.1100000446
515050301Liv says with a smile.
525151302But I've still got work to do.52
535252301LivWell, let me help you with the paperwork, then. You can go to sleep earlier if we finish everything ahead of time.1100000447
545353302Now, your M.I.N.D. rehab session for the day...54
555454301LivIs completed.1100000448
56555520412
575656301LivYou weren't late for today's rehab session, right?1100000449
585757302Of course not!58
595858301With it, both you and Liv break into a wry smile—for the time being, neither of you is in any condition to fight, what with the degeneration of your muscles and the occasional migraines occurring in Liv's M.I.N.D.
605959301With the help of an exoskeleton, you've taken part in a few non-combat assignments, except such assignments don't come by every day.
616060301And an exoskeleton is but a short-term solution in the broader picture of making a full recovery.
626161301The war has turned white-hot, and you know for a fact that Lucia and Lee are far too competent and they can't stay in Babylonia with Liv and you.
636262301You want to be at the frontline fighting with the team—but decided to stay behind to perform desk work while rehabilitating instead, after being convinced by them.
646363204119
656464301LivI wonder what happened to Lee and Lucia, though...1100000450
666565301To cause no hiccups to the war, Lee and Lucia always make it a point to only contact you when they're back at their base for maintenance. According to them, they've seen small-scale victories in their combat zone.
676666302We just have to trust them.67
686767302And we need to try our best in what we can do.68
69686820411
706969301LivYes!1100000451
717070301Having worked off the negative vibes, you find yourself concentrating once again on the report. Then, as you go ahead to delete the string of garbled letters and symbols with the delete key, you reach out for the coffee cup sitting right next to you...
72717120416
737272301Yet, much to your surprise, you touch a warm, soft hand instead of a coffee cup...
74737320411
757474301LivHow about something else for a change, Commandant?1100000452
767575301Liv passes you a different cup. Giving off white steam, the cup has amber-colored tea sitting in it instead.
777676302What's this...?77
787777301LivThis is a decaffeinated herbal tea. You should refrain from consuming any more caffeine for the day, given that you've already consumed 180mg.1100000453
797878301Liv explains in a serious tone. Probably best to listen to the expert here since she's the one taking care of the team's health.
807979301Taking a sip of the tea, you can taste the warm fragrance of the liquid making its way down your throat before it reaches your chest and blossoms, instantly easing you of most of the pent-up fatigue from work.
818080301Liv, on the other hand, has taken a seat across from you and begun sorting through the remaining reports.
828181301The faintly glowing screen, the sound of keystrokes, the fragrance of the tea, and a Liv working away at the reports—the room is quiet and peaceful, seemingly having nothing save for these left in it.
838282301It's been so long since you last felt the same ease of mind...
848383301LivI need you to go over some parts of this report, Commandant.1100000454

898888301DialogEnable1LivThis is the last one.1100000455
908989301You go over the report before signing your ID number on it. The whole process of sorting through the documents was supposed to take you through the entire afternoon—yet here you are, having reached the end of it in under two hours with the two of you working on it.
919090302Boy, that was fast.91
929191301Pouring tea into the now empty cup, Liv appears out of it as she keeps her eyes fixated on the global warfare map.
939292302What are you looking for?93
949393301LivI'm trying to pinpoint Lucia and Lee...1100000456
959494204119
969595301LivI mean, because I missed their call from last night.1100000457
979696302It's not your fault, though.97
989797301An episode of migraine hit Liv out of the blue right before Lucia and Lee dialed in last night, plunging her M.I.N.D.—which hasn't even made a full recovery yet—into an extremely unstable state.
999898301After stabilizing her condition with the cable you carried and a Deep M.I.N.D. connection you managed to establish before things went out of hand, you put on your exoskeleton and ran up to the Star of Life with Liv in your arms.
1009999301Liv was still under treatment when Lucia and Lee dialed in.
1011001002041
102101101302Based on where they were calling from last night...102
103102102301Staff list, resource provision, and engagement status—all the information about a certain base pops up when you put your finger on it.
104103103302They should be here.104
105104104301Lucia' and Lee's names are on the staff list—with two short lines preceding their names, respectively.
106105105204119
107106106301Frame Damage: 15.32%
108107107301Infection: 0.00%
109108108301Based on their battle report, the two seemed to have found a branch of the Red Tide on their own without the warning of a Support-type Construct.
110109109301They put indicating beacons in place during their battle with Hetero-Creatures. While the beacons had only a minimal effect in guiding the garrison at the base, they managed to sever the branch with their accurate attacks all the same.
111110110301LivIf only I were there, too...1100000458
112111111301Liv keeps her eyes fixated on the very first line of the report. It briefly mentions the resources the base needs more of, with a special note stating that all squads are in need of help from Support-type Constructs.
113112112302I am sure you'll be able to get back there in no time.113
1141131132041
115114114301LivAnd that's if they manage to improve remote Deep M.I.N.D. connection, right?1100000459
116115115301The Deep M.I.N.D. connection helps to stabilize the migraine coming from Liv's M.I.N.D., and Asimov is working with the rest of his team to figure out a way to establish the connection remotely without a cable.
117116116302Asimov said we'll be giving it a try soon, right?117
118117117301Gray Raven will be back on the road whole as soon as we have that technical barrier taken care of.
119118118301Nodding her head, however, Liv suddenly looks troubled with what seems to be an abrupt thought.
12011911920412
121120120301LivBy the way, Commandant, I understand that Professor Hippocrates asked you to exercise your body, but I'd still suggest that you steer clear of ground missions before you make a full recovery.1100000460
122121121302It's force majeure.122I'll try to...122
123122122301Liv's eyebrows frown slightly at your reply.
124123123301But lucky for you, Liv raises another question, letting go of the subject.
12512412420411
126125125301LivWhat are we going to do now, though...1100000461
127126126302About that...127
128127127301Liv means well, but it's no doubt much too early for you to hit the hay now.
129128128301You finished your rehab session for the day in the morning, but you have to make an appointment a day in advance if you want to get to your next session.
130129129302Uhm...130
131130130301You have no idea what to do.
132131131302I don't know, Liv. Got any plans?132
13313213220417
134133133301LivWait, are you asking me?1100000462
1351341342041
13613513520450016
137136136301LivI don't know either... but let's see...1100000463
13813713740121099
1391381382041
140139139301With the ringing of a call filling up the room, you and Liv stop in your tracks. When you take the call, a hologram of Asimov appears.

146145145301AsimovStop whatever you're doing now if it's not super urgent. I need you to come down to the Science Council now.2100000410
147146146301With bags darker than ever under his eyes, Asimov speaks in a serious tone.
148147147302Oh?148
149148148301AsimovI can't get into the details on the line, but I'll fill you in on the situation when you're here. Remember to bring Liv with you.2100000411
15014914920417
151150150301LivEh?1100000464
152151151301Liv is surprised at the mention of her name.

16015915920413
161160160301LivWhy does he need us, though?1100000465
162161161302I have no clue.162
163162162302But I bet it's something important.163
1641631632041

178177177301Taking into account the rehabilitative effects of walking, you decided to go on foot instead of in a wheelchair.
179178178301All the while, Liv keeps her eyes closely on you from behind.

1891881883011LivProfessor?2100000467
190189189301It's none other than Hippocrates—the very person responsible for treating you and Liv.
19119019020221
19219119120310.25
193192192301Standing right behind her is Asimov, who's keeping his eyes fixated on the screen in front of him as strings of complicated-looking readings and charts flash past.
1941931932041
195194194401136
196195195301Why are they working together when they're from different departments...?
197196196302(Wait...)197
1981971974011201
199198198301HippocratesAnd judging from that look on your face, I gather you've figured out why Asimov had asked you and Liv to come down here.1100000827
200199199302Does it have to do with the Empyrea frame?200Let me guess. You've made headway with the Deep .I.N.D. connection.204
201200200301HippocratesRight, we've received some data from the probe we'd left in the Empyrea frame.1100000828
202201201301HippocratesAsimov is working on visualizing the data, except...1100000829
203202202301Stopping in her tracks, Hippocrates looks back and forth between you and Liv.
204203203207301HippocratesExcept they don't seem normal.1100000830
205204204301HippocratesUnfortunately, no.1100000831
206205205301HippocratesBut we received some data from the probe we'd left in the Empyrea frame.1100000832
207206206301HippocratesThese data might help further enhance the Deep M.I.N.D. connection, and Asimov is working on visualizing the data.1100000833

2092082082012500004400
2102092093011AsimovDone.2100000413
211210210301Looking up, Asimov turns the screen this way—which now shows a bird's-eye view of a dense forest.
212211211302What's this...?212
213212212301AsimovI'll start from the very beginning. You do still remember what you had to go through to get Liv's M.I.N.D. shards back, right?2100000414
214213213302Of course.214
215214214301After bringing Liv to safety, you filled them in on what you'd gone through, missing not so much as the most minute of details, with the hope that they'd turn out helpful with repairing Liv's M.I.N.D.
216215215301AsimovAnd you found a seventh M.I.N.D. shard—and that's something we'd never found previously.2100000415
217216216301AsimovAfter transferring her consciousness back to the Eclipse frame, we'd scan the Empyrea frame with signals of varying frequencies on a regular basis to see if we'd missed anything.2100000416
218217217302Wait, could it be...218
219218218301AsimovSpot on. The signal is negligibly weak, but it is part of Liv.2100000417
220219219301AsimovWe took a look at the data sent back by the probe. The bands seem very special, and I'd describe them as...2100000418
221220220301Asimov is trying to come up with a more appropriate, layman-friendly word.
222221221301HippocratesI'll take over from here.1100000834
223222222301HippocratesHere is an example. Do you remember how many people you passed by in the rehab center yesterday?1100000835
224223223302I'd be damned if I did...224Might as well ask me how many rolls of bread I've ever had.225
225224224229301HippocratesCorrect. See, no one ever remembers how much bread they ate.1100000836
22622522520415
227226226301HippocratesAnd I take it that you recall how much bread you ate? Now, that's definitely worth looking into.1100000837
228227227302I... would be damned if I did.228
2292282282041
230229229301HippocratesPeople don't remember all the information that goes through the brain.1100000838
231230230301HippocratesWe might experience certain things or think about them, but they don't become lasting memories in our brains.1100000839
232232232301AsimovBased on our analysis of the signal waveform sent back to us, we were able to more or less pinpoint the location of this M.I.N.D. shard that's projecting this forest.2100000420
233233233301Asimov enlarges the window—to the extent that it almost takes up the entire screen.
234234234301Right in the center of the screen now stands the silhouette of a spire—with scarlet plants running along its length.
235235235302It's the Punishing Virus...236
236236236301AsimovIt's only lightly infected, but it doesn't mean we can just ignore it.2100000421
237237237301AsimovWhich is why we need you to clean up the contamination—in addition to looking into it.2100000422
238238238302One thing, though...239
239239239202121
24024024020111031001
2412412413011Worried, you turn to look at Liv—who you know shouldn't be risking herself over a mission like this with her M.I.N.D. still making a recovery.
24224224220411
243243243301LivDon't worry, Commandant. I'm okay.1100000468
24424424420211
2452452452011500404
2462462463011HippocratesI know what's bothering you. Your safety will always be our top priority.1100000840
247247247301HippocratesWe have an ample amount of time to get ourselves ready, unlike last time.1100000841
248251251301HippocratesIt won't hurt your M.I.N.D., but we'll have no choice but to give up on this particular shard.1100000845
249252252302Why does it have to be Liv, though?253
250253253301HippocratesI decided to ask you and Liv for help for another reason. See, this shard and the subconscious mind are similar in that they're both what make up the bottom layer of the M.I.N.D.1100000846
251254254301HippocratesAnd the feedback of both of your activities there will go a long way toward improving the Deep M.I.N.D. connection. You just don't get samples of this kind of M.I.N.D. every day.1100000847
252255255301Finishing her sentence, Hippocrates' face turns uneasy.

2582612613011LivI have another question.2100000469
259262262301Sensing the negative vibes in the air, Liv speaks out.
260263263301HippocratesYes?1100000849
261264264301LivHow am I supposed to get inside my own M.I.N.D. shard with Commandant?2100000470
26226526520411
263266266301HippocratesAsimov wrote you a program that will help you do just that. He'll take you through some fine-tuning first, though.1100000850
264267267301HippocratesYour commandant, on the other hand, will get in there when you're done fine-tuning.1100000851
265268268301LivAlright.2100000471
26626926920421

270273273301After waving goodbye at you, Liv makes her way to the M.I.N.D. diving chamber following Asimov. Then, right when you try to stand up with your crutch...

277280280302What do you mean?281
2782812812041
279282282301HippocratesIt might be her consciousness or her personality, but what it is will depend on which part of Liv this particular M.I.N.D. shard is.1100000853
28028428420415
281285285301HippocratesAnd I was hoping you could take good care of her when you're both in there.1100000855

328333333301The butterfly's fluorescence is now your only source of guidance down the increasingly secluded path...
329334334301Right then, you hear noises coming from up ahead—someone is coming this way walking on the grass.
330335335302Hello?336Liv?336
331336336301LivCommandant?100000473
332337337301Her voice coming from behind the trees, Liv picks up her pace across the grass—and there she is now, standing in front of you...
33333833820115005242
334340340301A grandiose black dress envelopes her exquisite body, giving her a solemn aura. The jade-green wings behind her, however, add a dreamlike quality to her, and she seems as though she might just vanish in the wind if you so much as look away from her for a split second.

337343343301LivC-Commandant... Please stop looking at me like that...1100000474
338344344301Liv lowers her head, apparently feeling self-conscious because of your unwavering gaze.
339345345302Ahem, right, of course...
340346346301Looking around yourself, you can't help but feel flabbergasted by the view, having forgotten about the butterfly that had taken you here.
341347347302What's going on here?348
342348348301The Liv you're seeing is wearing a completely different outfit than what she was before coming in.
34334934920413
344350350301LivI don't know... I found myself like this when I woke up.1100000475
345351351301Liv reaches for the wings behind her as she starts checking herself out.
3463523522041
347353353302Maybe this is something your M.I.N.D. shard is doing to you?354
348354354301LivAsimov said the same thing...1100000476
349355355301You have never seen Liv like this before. She is usually just dressed in white and pink.
350356356301LivHow do you feel, though, Commandant?1100000477
351357357302I think you look great, Liv.358Suits you, Liv.362I liked how you were before.367
352358358301LivCommandant...1100000478
353359359301With a sheepish look on her face, Liv seems happy with the compliment all the same... while looking slightly caught off guard.
35436036020412
355361361371301LivI meant to ask you if you've noticed anything out of the ordinary about yourself, too... But still, thank you.1100000479
35636236220417
357363363301LivHmm?1100000480

365371371302Ahem... Never felt better.372
366372372301It's fortunate that your injury didn't get transferred over to this world.
367373373302Are you feeling anything else, Liv?374
36837437420413
369375375301LivWell... I'm not quite sure if this is something my M.I.N.D. shard has done to me, but...1100000484
3703763762041
371377377301Seeing you all baffled, Liv claps her hands three times.
372378378301And with it, you hear noises coming from the trees. When you turn your head over—you see countless chipmunks poking their heads out everywhere.
373379379301Among the bushes, above the treetops, behind the rocks—they're everywhere.
374380380301With their tiny black eyes traveling back and forth between you and Liv, they seem to have a hard time comprehending the sight of the two human beings in front of them.
37538138120412
376382382301LivIt's okay. This isn't a bad person.1100000485
377383383301And with it, the chipmunks all come leaping out.
378384384301Before you're even able to react, you find yourself and Liv drowning in a sea of warm furballs rubbing your faces and palms.
379385385302How did you find out you can do this, though?386
380386386301You clap your hands three times when Liv isn't looking your way—and nothing happens.
381388388301LivI was just trying to brush all the dirt off my hands, and then these babies showed up.1100000486
382389389302Can you get other animals to come to you?390
383390390301LivI did try to change the tempo and the number of claps, and I even tried mimicking this character from a TV show for kids...1100000487
3843913912042001
38539239220416
386393393301Liv stops in her tracks.
387394394301LivAnd... well, I tried all sorts of things, but the only thing I've managed to get to come to me so far is the chipmunk.1100000488
388395395301With her hand still caressing a little furball, Liv looks away.
3893963962041
390397397302...398
391398398301You carry on speaking as you put on the ground a struggling chipmunk that just fell off your shoulder and was dangling off your chest pocket.
392399399302Now, let's try to bring each other to speed.400
393400400301LivSo, when I woke up...1100000489
394401401301When Liv finishes bringing you up to speed, you see that your diving point was actually one good kilometer away from Liv's—though you came in here at almost the same time.
395402402301Liv has a pair of wings similar to that on the Empyrea frame, except it doesn't allow her to fly—presumably because M.I.N.D. has made it so.
396403403301It seems like you won't be flying to the center of the forest.
397404404301And it's your turn to fill Liv in on what you've been through...
398405405301LivA butterfly, you said? I didn't see any when I woke up, though.1100000490
399406406301LivShould we do a quick round of scan?1100000491
400407407302No, it's fine.408
401408408301You want to learn more about the butterfly, but it's much too fleeting an occurrence for you to spend time on when you're supposed to be looking into the center of the forest.
402409409302We're sticking to our plan.410
403410410301LivI'm analyzing the landscape and the paths.1100000492

405412412301LivUhm...1100000493
406413413302Oh?414
407414414301LivI can't come up with a path that can take us straight to the center of the forest with all the obstacles in the way.1100000494
408415415302That's fine. We'll see what the data feedback has to say as we go.416
409416416302Let's go.417
41041741720412
411418418301The chipmunks sitting on you and Liv start jumping off, apparently having sensed that you're about to leave.
412419419301And as they leave, they stuff your pockets full of chestnuts, berries, seeds, and petals...
413420420301Then, waving its tiny claw at Liv, the last chipmunk disappears into a crack under the rocks.

421428428301You thought a place like this would be a piece of cake for Liv.
422429429301Except this forest is proving to be a lot more complicated than previously imagined...
423430430301But on second thought, you realize the complexity of this forest...
424431431301Should really be attributed to Liv's seemingly endless imagination.
4254324322021
426433433301This is what happened shortly after you and Liv set out.

428435435301The path through the forest isn't exactly trekker-friendly—while your shoes with the extra-thick soles are keeping your feet well-protected from all the sharp stones on the ground, you still need to be absolutely careful so as not to slip off the moss.
429436436301The trees, the grass, and the flowers—everything around you is of the same color...
430437437301The forest has not a single trace of humans, and the cries of the insects seem to come from afar.
431438438301Completely lost, you stay closely behind Liv.
432439439301And suddenly, Liv stops in her tracks.
43344044020115005247
4344414413011LivHey?1100000496

436443443301LivThis bridge here... is a little different from how I imagined it would be.1100000497
437444444301Caught by surprise, Liv seems at a loss for words.
438445445302Well, there is only so much radar imaging can do, I suppose.446
439446446301Climbing over the rock in your way, you look up from the ground to see the view up ahead.
440447447302See, this isn't something you need to...448

452463463301You never saw this coming yourself, too, because you didn't run into anything out of the ordinary the entire way.
453464464301Seems like the speed at which time passes isn't the only thing different between M.I.N.D. and the real world...
454465465301This world seems to be full of strange things that can happen to you at every turn—and the fact that Liv was able to get all the chipmunks to hang around you is but an example of that.
455467467302Aren't they going to dehydrate?468
456468468301As though trying to answer your question, a few enormous jets of water come gushing out from the depths of the valley, washing away some the of jellyfish that make up the bridge. Moments later, however, their places are taken over by other jellyfish.
457469469301Having been graced by the water, the bridge now gives off a lucid shine.
458470470302Do you know what's going on, Liv?471
459472472301Liv seems unsure of herself as she speaks.

501517517301Before you know what just happened, you find yourself and Liv coming face to face with a glowing jellyfish in the air—although you can't really for the life of you tell where its eyes are.
50251851820310.15-80
503520520301Except the combined weight of you and Liv seems too heavy for it, sending the jellyfish down into a straight fall like a parachute with a hole.
504521521301Fortunately, another jellyfish comes to your rescue in time with its belts. Working together, the two jellyfish float back up once again.

50652352320310.15-120
507524524301At the same time, the grip of the belt grows tighter still around you and Liv.
508525525302What's this thing?526
509526526301You feel something as soft as silk against your back.
51052752720416
511528528301LivMy wings... are getting squashed... Commandant...1100000506
512529529301From behind you, Liv now speaks in a tone so choppy and low that you can barely make out her words—every last one of which seems to be coming out as the last strand of her being. Tied up tightly back to back, however, you can't see Liv's face.
513530530301Somehow, you seem to be hearing the hisses of steam.
514531531302I-I'm sorry...532(Remain silent)534(Change the subject)535
515532532301LivT-that's fine, but I think this is exactly how we're supposed to cross the valley.1100000507
516533533537301And Liv is right—because you can see that the shining jellyfish and its friend are transporting the two of you to the other side of the valley.
517534534537301Remaining silent the entire way, you let the jellyfish do their job.
518535535302That doesn't seem to be a bridge.536
519536536537301LivYup. I think this is exactly how we're supposed to get across the valley.1100000508
5205375372041
521539539301When it's done grooming itself, the jellyfish does look slightly shinier than it did just moments ago.
522540540302Is it trying to polish itself?541
523541541301LivI don't think they're trying to build a bridge cuddling up together. I think they're just trying to rest.1100000509
524542542301With a closer look, you see that Liv is right—the jellyfish that you initially thought was acting as the bridge's pier doesn't shine as brightly. With its bell going up and down ever so faintly, it appears to be under a light sleep.
525543543302So what the jellyfish did to me just now when I stepped on it just now...544
52654454420430018
52754554520412
528546546301LivWell... that was probably just the jellyfish feeling grumpy waking up?1100000510
529547547301Liv sounds at ease, sensing no harm coming from the jellyfish—but right then, your surroundings start growing dark. Moments later, you feel something hard against the bottom of your feet, and the grip around you lets go.
53054854820310.25
531549549301Turning around, you see that the jellyfish is still there—and it's now trying to flatten Liv's crumpled wings.
532550550301LivThank you all, but don't worry about it.1100000511
533551551301The jellyfish, however, stays where it is, its tentacles obviously not the most ideal of tools with which to flatten the creases.
534552552302Let me fix them for you.553
53555355320417
536554554301LivWait, what...?! But why are you...1100000512
537555555302I'm sure they won't let us go if I don't do it.556
538556556301Looking up, you see that the jellyfish are still busy trying to fix Liv's wings.
53955755720413
540558558302And I'm partially responsible for it anyways.559
54155955920416
542560560301LivWell, then... if you insist.1100000513
543561561301Bit by bit, you flatten the creases in the chiffon-like wings in the gentle light coming off the jellyfish.
544562562301Then, looking up at the jellyfish and then at Liv's wings—now being slowly flattened back to their previous state—you open your mouth to speak.
545563563302This is just amazing.564
54656456420430018
54756556520412
548566566301LivThis doesn't happen in real life, though.1100000514
549567567302But even with everything that seemed to stand in our way...568
550568568302People have made amazing breakthroughs and made the impossible possible.569
551569569301Gravity tried to hold humans down, but we found a way to reach the sky and even further beyond; distance stood between us, but technology made it possible for us to connect with each other whenever we wanted; lightning was once a power inspiring our awe, but we found a way to make it work for us...
55257057020413
553571571301LivDo you think there is a way... for us to make what we're seeing here possible, then?1100000515
554572572301The jellyfish form a colorful, fantastic view around you beyond description.
555573573302Somewhere down the road, yes.574With difficulty, yes.576I don't think so.578
55657457420412
557575575580301It might seem like a far-fetched fantasy, but nothing is impossible, so long as there are people drawn to it.
5585765762041
559577577579301But even if we're still so far from that day that we can't even picture it happening within our lifetime, we can still entrust another dreamer with our dream.
560578578301But that doesn't mean we need to forget it altogether. Perfection might be a difficult goal to reach, but that doesn't mean we can't come up with something that's nearly perfect.
56157957920412
562580580301You flatten the last crease on Liv's wings. Although still unable to take Liv through the skies and now bearing shallow scars, Liv's wings can open up again nonetheless.
563581581302There is not a wonderful thing that is not worth our time and effort.582
5645825823011AniZhuanchangBeginThis is what the forest seems to be mumbling as the breeze gently ruffles the leaves.
