;(First interaction)
:Adelyn: ...Alright. Before we officially start, let's go over things once more: First, the winner's route — can you remember all that? ... Ah, looks like you won't have to remember it after all...
:Photographer: ...Ah? But...
:Adelyn: Hi! Are you (Trailblazer), right? I'm one of your fans. Have you got time for a quick interview?
: I have fans now!?
::Adelyn: Of course you do! How could you not, based on your brilliant performance in the Festivity Auditions?
: Is it a serious interview?
::Adelyn: Don't worry. I'd never trick you into going to the Dusk Auction House...
: Who knew being famous could be such a pain...
::Adelyn: Haha, I bet loads of people bug you for autographs whenever you're just walking around in public, right?
:Adelyn: Ahem, let me reintroduce myself real quick — I'm a reporter from the Dreamchaser Bulletin's Scorchsand Hall section. I'm putting together a piece about the new champion. That's you.
:Adelyn: Seeing as we've managed to meet up here and now, there must be some level of destiny between us. So then... how about a little chit-chat?

:Adelyn: Alright. That's it for today. Thank you very much.
:Adelyn: And thanks to you, (Trailblazer) — so anyway... seeing as it's the end of my shift, can I treat you to a bottle of SoulGlad, as a fan?
:Adelyn: As a hobby I sometimes also help contestants out with their strategies, just mechanical analysis and tips on how to clear each stage.
:Adelyn: Your experience would provide extremely valuable material for a person like me. So would you like to chat a little more with me?

:Adelyn: Speaking of which, there's something I think I'd better remind you about...

;(If Adelyn's Emotion is set to Happy)
:Adelyn: Honestly, I'm really curious to hear about some of your secrets...

: I've got some questions to ask you.
::Adelyn: Of course, no problem. Ask me anything you want. Even if I don't know the answer, I can help you check it out...
:: Can you tell me more about Dreamchaser Bulletin?
:::Adelyn: Ah, that — actually it's a self-published magazine from the Dreamchasers who use it to promote and share info.
:::Adelyn: When people enter the Asdana system, they'll get a push notification about subscribing to the bulletin. I wonder if you've had a chance to check it out yet...
:::Adelyn: Anyway, the magazine is chock-full of rich content — not just things like regular news and vacancies but also lots of hard currency like strategic guides. Or you can even follow the serial fiction in each issue.
:::Adelyn: Personally, I suggest you get a subscription — it's actually really useful.
:: Tell me more about the Moment of Scorchsand.
:::Adelyn: Oh, that... Come! Take a deep breath, and tell me: what can you smell? The scent of SoulGlad, the aroma of money!
:::Adelyn: Back then, the most dazzling thing of all was using stacks of gold to build celebrity dreams. Everyone thronged into a bunch, smashing their heads together to fight for the champion title...
:::Adelyn: This wasn't just the contest arena, but also a party zone for the crowd — and it was also a massive billboard for SoulGlad, drawing in everybody's attention.
:: That's all I wanted to talk about.
:::Adelyn: *sigh* Good times never seem to last long...
: Until next time. Later!
::Adelyn: No problem. See you later! But it's late already... looks like I'll be pulling another all-nighter again...

:::Adelyn: There's one seed in this competition who harbored a lot of winning potential — that is, until a dark horse like you came onto the scene.
:::Adelyn: You know, journalists like us have our own sources, so after learning about his existence, I went looking for him to ask for a pre-match interview.
:::Adelyn: But — how to put this? Despite being conceited, he does actually have some real strength and background... I thought I was this experienced journalist, but I couldn't manage to get any useful info out of him.
:::Adelyn: After the contest finished, I saw him again and something didn't seem quite right about the state he was in...
:::Adelyn: I might just be paranoid, but out of an abundance of caution, I suggest you keep one eye open for this Garcia guy.

:::Adelyn: What I don't get, though, is that we're all adults — is it really so hard to take responsibility for your actions?
:::Adelyn: You don't have to read a strategy if you don't like it. Why you gotta go posting on message boards, seeking attention — or snitching to The Family? It's wrong, isn't it?
:::Adelyn: When you put out a guide with ample research, some people will inevitably think the intro is too long. If you do a gameplay strategy, it's boring and lacking in content. If anything differs from expectations, that's a quality problem — and you'll end up with your head on a stake if someone tries to blitz a map but cannot clear it.
:::Adelyn: Just being super picky and fussy all day and all night without actually having any skill of your own — who knows where this sense of superiority comes from?
:::Adelyn: And then there're those people who gleefully dig up scandalous histories to try and cancel someone as soon as they learn they're famous. These people have either been kept out of the sun too long inside Dreamscapes, or they're so depressed that they only see pessimism everywhere they look.
:::Adelyn: The diversity of intelligent life really is utterly eye-opening...

:::Adelyn: I might be speaking out of turn by saying so, but what you and your team did for the Dreamplay Fantasia performance wasn't exactly... out of this world.
:::Adelyn: I admit, it was lots of fun — but it was nowhere near as impressive as some of the other pros. Honestly, I didn't even think you were going to pass.
:::Adelyn: But the judges' reactions went far beyond my wildest imagination — they were so emotional. I couldn't see any signs at all of black-box tampering.
:::Adelyn: Later on, I even asked some of my meager connections about it, and they all confirmed that you guys didn't cheat.
:::Adelyn: So I'm thinking perhaps you have some kind of special ability, like influencing people's mood or somehow getting people to change their minds...
:::Adelyn: Of course, I'm just curious about all of this — I don't mean to intrude. After all, everyone has their own secrets, especially an enigmatic Nameless like yourself, right?

:::Adelyn: ...Ah ...Sorry, I was a little distracted there. I just got a little... confused?
:::Adelyn: You know, these free strategies of mine are a total labor of love. I just really enjoy this process of gathering all the information, proposing a probable hypothesis, and then sharing it with everyone.
:::Adelyn: And I've always known just how low some people can go when it comes to numbers and profits... er, sorry — I'm a little muddle-headed right now. I just think that...
:::Adelyn: The internet really is a giant cesspool, with pesky trolls there blowing up your mistakes a thousandfold, uncharitably twisting your words and deeds as they try their best to drag you down into the mud with them.
:::Adelyn: My senior's work has been so meticulous and well-researched, and I've seen for myself how much effort she puts into every one of her strategies — but as soon as the bots start coming, public opinion drastically tilts out of her favor...
:::Adelyn: Demanding the creator of a free strategy to have upstanding morals and wide-reaching vision... isn't that hilarious?
:::Adelyn: Whatever. It's good to get kicked out early so that you can put that time and energy into doing something a little more meaningful. Why waste your life just for that...?
