;(Approach Mullich)
:Mullich: S—Stay away. It's dangerous!
:Mullich: Quick, go and fetch The Family guard!
;(Begin battle against , , )
;(After the battle)
:Mullich: Whew... S—Safe and sound... I'm so small that I almost stuck between its fangs, haha!
:Mullich: Even though I know it's just a dream, it's still thrilling to have those things staring at me... Don't you think so?
: How'd you get stuck here?
:Mullich: Oh, that... I'm ashamed to say that I'd been sick lately and I fell into too deep a sleep. So when I opened my eyes...
:Mullich: The atmosphere of the hotel felt a little bit strange to me. I'd been meaning to go to the lobby and check out everything there first, but unfortunately these things surrounded me before I could get halfway.
:Mullich: Thanks to your timely arrival, I've been spared from unexpected calamity. Please allow me to express my sincerest of gratitude to you.
===Talk to Mullich===
;(After unlocking the Emo Dial)
:Mullich: ...
:The Pepeshi's once-gentle expression immediately grows intense, and a dim red line suddenly lights up his eyes.
:You don't know why, but somehow it feels like as though a completely different soul has emerged beneath its skin. 
:Mullich: Ha... it's just a few pieces of trash, but enough to get scared stiff. So it turns out they really are useless without me around...
:Mullich: What's up? You usually shun me badly, but now after just a few days of not seeing each other, you seem distracted.
:Mullich: Hmph, what did I say at the start — be careful, don't be clingy after chatting with someone a few times. Are you okay now?
:Mullich: I don't know what methods they used, but they must have involved that girl... Oh, I nearly forgot about you.
:The Pepeshi suddenly turns around and the light that fell upon your face felt like it belonged to some kind of apex predator. 
:Mullich: Speaking of which, I have to thank you for waking me up — you can call me W.
: An upside-down M?
:W: Haha, very perceptive! Everyone who's met "me" thinks that we're nuts... I just don't get what all the fuss is about though? Every time I see those panicked idiots, I lose it and start laughing! 
:W: Your eyes are very... peaceful. I like that! I like quick thinkers and reliable people! So... why don't you be a good person, and do me a solid?
:W: In Golden Hour, there's a Dreamscape Motivator called Ran. She is... very important to me.
:W: She's usually hanging out near Clockie Plaza. If things were normal, I'd definitely go over myself, but as it stands, things are a little... "delicate" right now.
:W: How about it? Can you do me a solid? I'll be at the waiting for the good news. And once you're back, we can grab a drink together!
===Go to Clockie Plaza and help "W" find Ran.===
;(Talk to Ran)
:Ran: Hello, is there anything I can help you with? 
:Ran: Whatever worries you might have, you can tell me all about it.
:Ran: I will listen to your thoughts and wishes, and provide as much help as I possibly can.
: Someone called Mullich is looking for you...
:Ran: Hang on, who... Who did you say was looking for me!?
:When the woman heard this name, her pupils suddenly shrank and the blood drained from her face as she lost all previous sense of grace and bearing.
:Ran: A—Are you in cahoots with that guy? Stay away, or I'll call out for someone!
:Ran: You... you oughta know that if that kind of thing ever happen again, The Family won't just sit by idly and watch!
: What kind of thing?
:Ran: Don't play dumb. As if you don't know what I'm talking abo... Hang on, do you... Do you really not know?
:Miss Ran scanned your every expression again and again before letting out a sigh of relief after what seemed like an age — and what seemed like a heavy burden to bear.
:Ran: Whew — you freaked me out... I thought he'd roped in yet another accomplice. Things were already getting scary enough...
:Ran: So can you please tell me what exactly it is you're doing here?
:You spill the beans about Mullich and "W", and tell Ran the whole story...
:Ran: "She's very important to me" — I'm afraid what he meant to say was, "Taking vengeance against her is very important to me."
:Ran: Listen to me: That guy may sound friendly and harmless, but he's actually an extremist bigot! And as for that W, I've never really met him but...
:Ran: In a nutshell, for your own safety, please don't have any contact with him again!
: Is he that bad?
::Ran: ...That's because you haven't come into contact with him yet! I know plenty of people with mental health issues and most of them are great people — they're just suffering from torturous pain... but this guy, he's completely different!
::Ran: He's just... He's just a shrunken little beast! I'm begging you, please don't have any further contact with him...
: What about you, then?
::Ran: Me? I'm doing what I can... I applied to be put under protection before with The Family, so at least I've had a few days of relative calmness.
::Ran: The Family is always very considerate when handling this kind of thing, but unfortunately this time... No wonder that guy went and hid in The Reverie! He's afraid of getting busted by the Bloodhound Family!
:Ran: Please, you absolutely have to keep this under wraps! I don't want to ever have anything to do with that guy again!
:Ran: I—I have to take my own precautions here... and apply for another round of personal dreamscape protection...
===Go to Aideen Park and give "W" your answer.===
:W: Yo — finally made it back! What's up, any news?
: I couldn't find her.
::W's eyes comb back and forth across your face, scouting it for signs of deception. Tilting his head, he laughs...
::W: Is that so... What a pity! But not to worry, because we're going to find. Her. Soon!
: She said you're sick.
::You see a flash of anger in W's eyes... as though he is about to jump up and knock you on the head. 
::W: I see... Looks like she really hates "us" then.
:W: Speaking of which, "Dreamscape Motivator" — what a miraculous job! I bet this line of work is only gonna be available in Penacony, right?
:W: I heard that The Family hired a whole bunch of Dreamscape Motivators — "kind-hearted," "meticulous and perceptive," "responsible" people — to help protect that "pure and flawless" dreamscape of theirs from being contaminated by any negative mindsets.
:W: As for how exactly they encourage people — "Motivators actively seek out people experiencing abnormal mood swings, and alleviate any negative emotions using communication therapy" — at least, that's what they say themselves.
:W: But in practice? When they say "kind-hearted," they actually mean selfish and hypocritical. When they say "meticulous and perceptive," they actually mean cowardly and timid. And as for "responsible"?
:W: Ha, just look at poor old M — he was gullible and ended up nearly mentally damaged by that Miss Ran and some unknown tricks of hers. That's all the "comfort and healing" that so-called Motivators brought us!
