===Head to Golden Hour and meet with the Crew===
;(Upon teleporting to Golden Hour)
: (Trailblazer): (Come to think of it, I wonder if I have to go to the hotel to return to reality...)
: (Trailblazer): (...Strange, where's everyone gone?)
;(While walking towards Sampo)
: (Trailblazer): (Sampo? Is that guy up to no good again?)
----
;(Approach Sampo)
: Sampo: We meet again, my dear...
: Sampo: It looks like you have not taken my warnings to heart... A pity. Are you so enchanted by that girl?
: Sampo: You're just so... blind.
: Firefly: ...Careful. I'm more than certain now that there's something not right about this friend of yours.
: Sampo: Oho, this brave little girl appears to be protecting you. I wonder why? Are you two that close?
: Firefly: You talk too much.
: Sampo: I love your attitude, my dear. I have to admit you're different from your friend here — your senses are much sharper.
: Sampo: Even so, you are lagging far behind the main party. Have you not noticed yet? What The Family is hiding, the secret behind this sweet dream.
: Sampo: And as for you — the Trailblazer who saved the Ice World... I wonder how many things Sampo glossed over when recounting the happenings on Jarilo-VI? Oh well, it was my problem for trusting him...
: Sampo: ...I'm really, really disappointed in you.
----
;(Cutscene plays)
::Sampo?: Umm, excuse me...
::Sampo?: Why don't you rest for a little while...
::Sparkle: ...inside the real Dreamscape.
;(Cutscene ends)
===Leave the suspicious room===
: (Trailblazer): (Ugh... This... What is this place?)
: (Trailblazer): (I'm back at the hotel? No, this feeling... The surroundings look a little like I just entered a dream...)
----
:
: (Trailblazer): (Can't get in touch with...)
;(Floating words)
: ???: Mikhail, are you in there?
: ???: So quiet... nothing but the tick-tocking of the clocks...
: ???: Mikhail, where are you?
: ???: Tick tock... tick tock... tick tock...
;(While walking)
: (Trailblazer): (This is too weird...)
;(Floating words)
: ???: The workshop door isn't locked...
===Speak with Firefly===
;(Leave the room)
: (Trailblazer): (...Firefly?)
----
;(Approach Firefly)
: Firefly: Ah... (Trailblazer)! So you're really here too...
: What happened?
: Where is this?
: Don't tell me we're dead...
: Firefly: I... don't know.
: Firefly: In any case, we must still be in a dream. It can't be anywhere else, much less reality... I'm never wrong about the distinctive sense of memoria that's in the air.
: Firefly: But this is very different from the "sweet dream" that I'm familiar with — suffocating... silent... uneasy... And these floating words. Can you see them too? This kind of place would never exist on Penacony under the provision of The Family. So, could this be a dream bubble...?
: Firefly: No, that's not right. Do you remember, before we were unconscious, that friend of yours said: The real ...
: This is the real Dreamscape...?
:: Firefly: I'm not sure. Everything happened so quickly. But regardless, The Family must be hiding something — something about the truth of the Dreamscape...
: This is The Family's secret...?
:: Firefly: I'm not sure. Everything happened so quickly. But regardless, The Family must be hiding something — something about the truth of the Dreamscape...
: He's not my friend.
:: Firefly: I should've been wary of him sooner... Sorry. Regardless, The Family must be hiding something — something about the truth behind the Dreamscape...
: Firefly: And, you probably noticed it when you woke up as well — the ticking of clocks all around us... My gut tells me that the secret hidden here is also linked to that mysterious Watchmaker.
: Firefly: If it points us towards the Watchmaker's Legacy, it will be connected to everyone who is melded to Penacony's dream...
: Firefly: Let's go, (Trailblazer)... We have to move — be it to find an exit, or the truth.
===Find an exit from the mysterious space===
;(Floating words)
: ???: I see... Are we playing hide-and-seek?
;(While walking)
: Firefly: We can't get through here. Let's take the way around from the side.
;(Floating words)
: ???: Are you done hiding?
: ???: Ready or not? Here I come.
;(Enter the room)
: Firefly: Dead-end here too... Given the layout of the room, are they really suggesting we maneuver around using the walls?
;(Obtain Bubble Charge)
;(Open Dreamwalker (I) Tutorial)
===Search for an exit from the room===
;(Open Dreamwalker (II) Tutorial)
;(Use Bubble Converge)
: Firefly: Can't believe that worked. Tampering with the Dreamscape's gravity is clearly strictly forbidden...
: Firefly: ...Careful, there are some strange things on the wall... And they don't look like they're from the Dreamjolt Troupe...
;(Floating words)
: ???: Mikhail, where are you hiding?
===Continue to search the room for an exit===
;(Floating words)
: ???: Mikhail...
: Firefly: Mikhail...?
===Continue forward===
;(Open Dreamwalker (III) Tutorial)
;(Floating words)
: ???: Can't find you... Can't find you anywhere...
;(Floating words)
: ???: Where are you... Where could you be...
----
;(Approach marked location)
: Firefly: This is too... overwhelming...
: Firefly: The exit... is on the other side? How're we going to cross over...
===Head to the hall's exit===
;(Floating words)
: ???: Mikhail! I've found you!
;(Floating words)
: ???: Do you have something to tell me?
;(Floating words)
: ???: Wow, it's beautiful...
----
;(Approach marked location)
: Firefly: Incredible... This is really a sight that can only be witnessed in a dream...
: Firefly: These words have been appearing and then vanishing persistently for awhile now. Whose thoughts are they? And who is this Mikhail...
: It's kinda scary...
: There is a sadness to this...
: Mikhail... Where have I heard this name...
: Firefly: It's like I can feel... emotions contained within them. Confusion... fear... sadness... and others so faint I can barely feel them...
: Firefly: Unyielding resolve in the face of death...
----
;(Floating words)
: ???: Why did you come here specifically?
;(Floating words)
: ???: Mikhail, you look like you've got something on your mind...
: ???: Is it something very important?
: ???: Talk to me, Mikhail...
;(Floating words)
: ???: It's so dark in here...
;(Floating words)
: ???: Mikhail?
;(Floating words)
: ???: You're going?
;(Floating words)
: ???: Don't go, please?
;(Floating words)
: ???: Take me with you at least
;(Floating words)
: ???: Okay? I beg you...
----
;(Approach marked location)
: Firefly: That was a close one... but we made it.
: Firefly: So strange... The Family insist that the Dreamscape is absolutely safe.
===Continue forward===
;(Enter the room)
: Firefly: There's nothing but... a jigsaw puzzle here.
;(Investigate puzzle)
: Firefly: The pieces look like they flew to both sides of the room.
===Find the lost pieces (0/2)===
;(Floating words)
: ???: I will definitely keep it safe.
;(Floating words)
: ???: I promise you, Mikhail...
;(Break marked destructible objects)
;(Floating words)
: ???: So, you need to keep yourself safe, too...
----
;(Floating words)
: ???: This is an origami bird I made for you...
;(Stroke Origami Bird)
:Waiting Bird: Tweet! Tweet tweet!
:Waiting Bird: Tweet...?
:The red bird jumps out eagerly, but it seems you aren't the person it's waiting for.
:The bird ruffles its feathers in disappointment and flies away.
;(Obtain , )
;(Floating words)
: ???: Take it with you, Mikhail!
: ???: It will protect you from harm.
----
;(After obtaining both pieces)
: Firefly: This should fill in the empty spaces in the puzzle.
===Use the characteristics of the Dreamscape to open the door===
;(Solve Dream Jigsaw)
: Firefly: Ah! The wall has vanished... Feels like we're reaching the end... right?
===Open the suspicious chest===
;(Enter the room)
: Firefly: Er... Just one chest? I'm sure that's not a trap. Should we open it...?
;(Open Someone's treasure)
----
: Firefly: ...What's going on!? The lights have all turned on. So creepy...
: Firefly: But, since there are so many doors here... we should be able to leave through one of them...
;(Obtain )
