===Pre-Mission===
;(Talk to the Guardian Shadow)
:Guardian Shadow: ...
:Guardian Shadow: ...
:(Trailblazer): (This thing seems a little different from the other Fragmentum creatures...)
:(Trailblazer): (She doesn't seem to have any desire whatsoever to attack. Perhaps I can avoid a tough fight?)
:Guardian Shadow: ...Who are you?
: ...Are you talking to me?
::Guardian Shadow: You... are you real?
: Do I still have to fight?
::Guardian Shadow: I don't... want to hurt... anyone...
: I'm a goner...
::Guardian Shadow: I... don't mean... trouble...
:Guardian Shadow: I haven't seen a... stranger in a long, long time.
:Guardian Shadow: Mr. Stefan is gone... they've all gone. Everyone.
:Guardian Shadow: The people I trusted... the people I was close to... they've all left me. This city... has abandoned me.
:(Trailblazer): (Stefan? I remember that name.)
:(Trailblazer): (Could she be...)
: Is that you, Cyrille?
:Cyrille: ...
:Cyrille: Do you know me... stranger?
:Cyrille: You... Did Mr. Stefan send you to meet me?
: (lying) Yes! He told me to come and save you.
::Cyrille: . You don't have... his scent.
: Sorry, I don't know him.
::Cyrille: Oh... that's okay. I can feel it too... You really don't have his scent on you at all.
:Cyrille: ...Nobody is coming here for me anymore. I'm not smart enough, not strong enough, not independent enough... but I know all that. I've been lying to myself all this time and living that way for so long... I'm so tired of it.
:Cyrille: You... stranger, I don't understand... How do you know my name?
:Cyrille: ...Never mind. I don't want to get into it any further... too much questioning will only lead to more pain. It's always been the case...
:Cyrille: You're my only witness... the final witness. That fact alone is comforting enough... knowing that I don't have to wander around in eternal loneliness...
: What can I do for you?
::Cyrille: ...
: What are you thinking about right now?
::Cyrille: I... have a favor to ask.
:Cyrille: I want to know... why my fate is like this. I guess the answer is sealed in here, but there's nothing I can do about it...
:Cyrille: Will you help me, stranger? If you can help me find the answer... I'll tell you everything there is about me. No secrets.
:Cyrille: My story... may not be that interesting, but perhaps you'd like to hear it, right? I hope you do...
: I'll help you... I want to hear your story.
::Cyrille: Thank you. I was afraid... that you'd say no.
: If I say no...
::Cyrille: ...I was afraid you'd say that, but... I can't force you. I would never force anyone to do anything.
::Cyrille: Maybe I just have to keep waiting around. Wait for the next witness, who'll probably never come...
:: Sorry... I'll help you out.
:: I'll help you, even if it's just out of sympathy.
:::Cyrille: Really? Thank you...
:Cyrille: I got no place to go. I'll be waiting for you here.
:Cyrille: If you want to give up, that's okay... I'm just a shadow, and I'm not able to begrudge anyone, even if they trick me... And I don't feel sad either.

===Talk to Cyrille===
;(Talk to the Guardian Shadow)
:Cyrille: I... see the truth now.
:Cyrille: Thank you, stranger...
:Cyrille: You've shown me the truth, stranger. I don't know how to repay this kindness... as you can see, I can't exactly do anything right now.
:Cyrille: But at least I can fulfill my previous promise to you, and tell you my story. Would you like to stop and listen?
: Yes.
::Cyrille: ...You are so gentle, stranger. As gentle as Mr. Stefan.
: You don't have to.
::Cyrille: No... This is my final wish. Mr. Stefan will agree.
:Cyrille: — I'm Cyrille, Supreme Guardian of Belobog.
:Cyrille: I know I don't deserve to be in such a high position. If it weren't for my sister going off then for no reason at all... I'd never have been able to take this path.
:Cyrille: Luckily, I have Mr. Stefan by my side — he is my teacher and dear friend. He's given me countless pieces of valuable advice... and helped me through crisis after crisis.
: Why do you linger around here?
::Cyrille: I'm confused... confused about the cause of my death.
: What's your connection to the box puzzles?
::Cyrille: They... are the end of my life. The reason I'm lingering around here... may be connected with my confusion about the cause of my death.
:Cyrille: But you helped remove any element of confusion — and I can finally face my destiny.
:Cyrille: I was born a fool... and died from my foolishness. I failed everyone who ever put their faith in me... I failed to uphold the duty and prestige of a Supreme Guardian.
:Cyrille: I slipped and fell into that open box, ending my life in a way that's destined for ridicule.
:Cyrille: Perhaps at the end of my life, I was caught up in a vortex of shame... but I've wandered in this purgatory far too long to feel any sadness or shame. All I want now is peace.
:Cyrille: Stranger, I can feel your power. Compared to my cowardice... you exude such a strong, calm aura.
:Cyrille: I beg you for one last piece of generosity... I hope you can bless me with everlasting peace.
: ...I understand what you mean.
::Cyrille: Thank you... thank you for leaving me with this one shred of dignity.
:;(Commence battle)
: I... I can't do it.
::Cyrille: ...Are you going to leave me behind? Just leave me here in this endless void?
::Cyrille: Well... maybe someone like me doesn't deserve to be saved. Farewell, stranger.
:;(Dialogue ends)
;(Talk to the Guardian Shadow again, if "I can't do it" was chosen)
:Cyrille: ...Have you changed your mind, stranger?
: I will give you the peace you deserve.
::Cyrille: Thank you... thank you for leaving me with this one shred of dignity.
:;(Commence battle)
: I still can't bring myself to do it...
::Cyrille: ...Are you going to leave me behind? Just leave me here in this endless void?
::Cyrille: Well... maybe someone like me doesn't deserve to be saved. Farewell, stranger.
:;(Dialogue ends)

;(After winning the battle)
:Cyrille's Echo: Thank you, stranger...
:Cyrille's Echo: I'm sorry. Mr. Stefan... I'm not... who you're looking for...
:Cyrille's echoes dissipate amidst the howling of the icy wind.
:A golden ornament remains on the ground, quietly waiting for you to pick it up.
: Pick up Cyrille's relic.
: ...Should I even touch this?
::(Trailblazer): (It shouldn't be a big deal. It's only reasonable to take home some rewards for finishing all these missions.)
:(Trailblazer): (So Cyrille was actually a Supreme Guardian... how unbelievable.)
:(Trailblazer): (How can these echoes of hers be so powerful that they took on human form in the Fragmentum? And why was it accompanied by all those weird box puzzles...?)
:(Trailblazer): (I should take her relic back to the Overworld. There must be someone who knows about Cyrille's past as a Supreme Guardian.)
===Go to the Overworld and find someone well-versed in history===
;(Talk to Manya)
: Do you know the Supreme Guardian Cyrille?
:Manya: ...Mmm, do you mean Cyrille "the Fool"?
:Manya: Of course. I mean, anyone who's studied a little history has heard of her, right?
:Manya: What made you suddenly interested in this piece of ancient history? I don't have the time for random trivia right now... There's a huge stack of documents on my desk waiting for my approval.
: I found something...
::Manya: Huh? What...
: I brought something back from Cyrille.
::Manya: ...Is this some kind of sick joke?
:Manya: Ah, okay... I guess, taking a look won't rob me of much time. What is it? Let me have a check, would you?
:Manya: It's... this...
:Manya: I'm flabbergasted! You might've just found an incredible antique item...
:Manya: Based on the Belobog Conventions for the Preservation of Ancient Relics, any antiques found by civilians must be turned over to the Architects for proper reservation. I will have to hold on to this ornament that you've found.
: What? This is robbery in plain sight!
: Then what's in it for me, huh?
:Manya: Relax, I won't leave you empty-handed. I'm highly confident that this thing is an authentic relic... I'm sure you'll be compensated handsomely.
:Manya: Mmm, that's right — do you know much about Belobog's history? You can find out more about Cyrille "the Fool" in this pamphlet. Take it as a souvenir from the Administrative Department.
