Hilda (Hypnos)/Lore

==Role in Game==
===Endless Summer===
When Lian and Estero Harbor were trapped in a seemingly never-ending time loop, a young Hilda frequently appeared together with a black cat, offering cryptic advice to the young woman. She first appeared during Lian's diving practice, telling her to face her issue head-on instead of running away.
Hilda appeared again after Xia had locked Lian in their home after an argument, sending her cat to free her. She told Lian to embrace the Miracle's power, giving her the confidence to accept her Esper transformation later on.
Her enigmatic appearances throughout this event were later explained in Warm Winter, as they were manifestations of the real Hilda breaking into Lian's illusion, altered to look like Hilda the way Lian would have remembered her.
===Warm Winter===
The events of Warm Winter properly introduce Hilda as a traveling undertaker, moving from town to town to provide funerary services when needed. Upon receiving a mysterious letter guiding her towards the small town Accro, Hilda and her friend Hailey embarked on a road trip.
While on the road, Hilda made several stops to perform her services when needed, each time re-evaluating her own relationship with death, the departed, and her profession. Eventually though, the two friends arrive in the ruins of Accro, a town that was supposed to be destroyed 13 years ago as a result of the Cube Miracle's ascension. However, upon their arrival they find the ruins covered by a massive white seashell.
As they enter the seashell, they are transported to a dream-like version of Accro of 13 years ago, in the final days before the Miracle catastrophe. Hilda encounters Tevor there, who has been trapped here for some time in the shape of a simple black cat. Together they learn that they are in an alternate version of Accro, created by the divine powers of Lian, a girl living there at the point of the town's destruction.
During their investigations, Hilda realizes that she has visited Accro once before with her father, on the day of the calamity. She encounters an illusory version of her younger self, as well as her father, created by Lian's memories of the citizens in town that day. Taking the lessons she has learned on this journey with her, Hilda decides to save Lian from her self-destructive obsession and break her free from the illusion she resigned herself to live in. As the group defeats Lian in combat, the illusory world starts to fall apart. Once the dust has settled, Hilda and Hailey drive off into the distance together, leaving Tevor to take care of Lian for now.
