==Dialogue==
;(Talk to Liloupar)
:Liloupar: ...Be careful. I feel some strange tremors from deep underground.
:Paimon: Eh? What did you feel?
:Liloupar: It's nothing... That was just a drill.
:Paimon: Oh... So it was just a drill!
:Paimon: Wait... What kind of drill are you talking about!?
:Liloupar: Shh... They're here.
;(While fighting the primal constructs)
:Liloupar: Watch out!
;(Upon defeating the last primal construct)
:Liloupar: You did it. I knew that dealing with these creatures would not trouble you at all.
:Liloupar: Ah... look. Gurabad.
;(After defeating the primal constructs)
:Liloupar: Please connect me with that chess piece.
:Paimon: C—Connect...? What do you mean?
:Liloupar: Find the protrusion on its surface and insert that into the slot on my bottle. It's as simple as that.
:Paimon: Huh... there's a slot on your bottle? But it looks pretty smooth... There's no place to plug it in!
:Liloupar: It's there. You just can't see it...
:Paimon: Oh...
:Liloupar: ...Because I just made it up.
:Paimon: Oh... Hey!
:Liloupar: Ha... Alright, that's enough jokes for now. All you have to do, my master, is to hold me and touch the chess piece.
;(Investigate the chess piece)
:Liloupar: ...
:Paimon: Hmm... Liloupar, are you alright? Why are you so quiet?
: Shh!
: Liloupar?
:Paimon: Wait... Look. She's glowing. Well, differently from normal, anyway...
:
:
:Liloupar: That's Gurabad over there. I remember it now.
: My head really hurts...
:Paimon: Whoa, what's the matter with you guys... Can't you let Paimon know in advance next time? These surprises are bad for Paimon's heart!
: Sorry, Paimon.
::Paimon: Hmph! That's what you get for cheesing Paimon off!
: I'm fine, Paimon.
::Paimon: That's what you always say!
:Liloupar: Heh... What a child you are. Worry not, I will give back, little one.
:Liloupar: And when the time comes, shall see you compensated with all the food you may desire, and that... currency of yours. "Mura," was it?
: It's "Mora"... wait, what am I even correcting you for?
: Don't put words into my mouth...
:Paimon: Hehe, that's more like it! Paimon's noted it all down! Delicious food and Mora!
:Liloupar: Alright, playtime is over. Let us go to Gurabad, my master.
: Why do we have to go there?
::Liloupar: Why, you ask? In truth, I know not... Perhaps the reason does not even matter, but I must make my way there. So...
::Liloupar: If there must be a reason, my master, it would be because I want you to witness my past and the lessons I learned.
: Gurabad... What is over there?
::Liloupar: There's nothing left. Nothing at all...
::Liloupar: All that remains are the memories of ghosts, broken dreams that can never be recovered, and the sweet aftertaste of revenge... or so I would say.
::Liloupar: This is a sizable request, and of that I am aware... but I wish for you to witness my past and the lessons I had to learn.
:Paimon: ...
:Paimon: This does sound kinda ridiculous... and Paimon really doesn't get it, but what you're saying almost sounds like a farewell. Did something happen?
:Liloupar: Ah, nay. I just wish to show you some things.
:Paimon: What's that supposed to mean!? You're talking in riddles!
:Liloupar: In short, please follow me. I shall lead you to Gurabad...

;(Trigger the chess piece)
:Paimon: Whoa! We were just next to that chess piece. Then things went "whoosh," and now we're here!
:Paimon: How did this happen? That's really awesome!
:Liloupar: Hehe, and would you like a repeat performance?
: Again, again!
::Paimon: Hey, show some restraint! What are you, a kid?
: No, I'm a little dizzy...
::Paimon: Now that you mention it... Paimon's head feels a little woozy, too...
:Liloupar: That is normal. The coordinates are somewhat off. Perhaps the device is showing its age...
:Paimon: Hey... Isn't this the valley we first went to? What are you bringing us here for? Is there anything worth seeing here?
:Liloupar: You ask too many questions, little one.
:Liloupar: Strange... It was supposed to be here... Ah, here it is!
:;(Liloupar tears down part of the cave wall to reveal a larger cavern)
:Liloupar: Behold Gurabad. Once, it was swallowed by the very earth itself — now, it lies before you.
:Liloupar: Ah. It would seem that this place has some new tenants. Please do get rid of them, my master.

:Liloupar: "O Gurabad, you are mortally stricken, your shame shown to all..."
: ...
: So...
:Liloupar: Ormazd was once the lover of the one called Liloupar. It was by the Jinni's love that he rose from a lowly shepherd to become a king amongst mortals.
:Liloupar: I once believed that he was no mere mortal companion. Foolishly, I fell for those eyes of his... But the vanity and selfishness that kings are wont to have seized him in the end.
:Liloupar: He turned out to be no different from those mortal rulers who live one day and die the next, wandering amidst dreams of conquest and persecution, building their palaces upon quicksand.
: So, you brought him low...
:Liloupar: Like I said, I punished him — handed ruin down from father to son, across three generations.
:Liloupar: Kisra Parvezravan, Shirin, they are my blood... It was by schemes of blood, honeyed execution, and raging ambition that I punished them all.
:Liloupar: But that was not all... *sigh* That was not all.
: About the "punishment"...
: About the fall of Gurabad...
:Liloupar: Vain Parvezravan, my dear child... He wanted unlimited power, and so I gave it to him.
:Liloupar: I designed for him machines driven by the remnants of Jinn spirits, and in a dream of pitch-black darkness, I inspired him to build a colossal machine that could swallow up and spit out a torrent of artificial objects...
:Liloupar: They brought him untold wealth, but they also robbed the laborers of their lives and the farmers of their property.
:Liloupar: Thus the lords and the rich men wept, crying: "Verily this is the triumph of mortals, the end of slavery!" But only I knew. Only I understood...
:Liloupar: This abolition of slavery was itself the beginning of endless and cruel servitude — slave owners were freed from the obligation to raise their slaves, and the slaves were deprived even of small mercies like a full stomach...
:Paimon: Uh, you're starting to lose Paimon here... What are you talking about!?
:Liloupar: Poverty is accompanied by hatred, and hatred begets ambition... Riches lead to greed, and greed also fuels ambition.
:Liloupar: It was ambition that drove him to force his queen, Shirin — his elder sister by blood — to create Jinn, mindless and malformed... And her suffering pleased me... it empowered me...
:Liloupar: ...And I was thus able to foster their flesh and blood.
: You refer to Shiruyeh...
::Liloupar: Yes, Shiruyeh, brass-masked Khorramdin. The smallfolk and the slaves saw him as an emissary of my mistress, as a savior to them in their misery.
::Liloupar: So he led them to embrace justice... To embrace death.
: "The Brass Mask"...
::Liloupar: Ah, yes... Khorramdin, brass-masked King Shiruyeh. "The Emissary of the Mistress"! "Savior of the Commoners and Slaves"! Haha. A gifted charlatan, that one.
::Liloupar: And in the end, he led those who followed him to their doom... The earth swallowed them whole, and they fell into a dark chasm together with the entire city.
:Paimon: ...
:Liloupar: Hmm? So you're still here, little one... Why are you silent?
:Paimon: Hmm... it's just, Paimon doesn't understand... And what you just said sounded really terrifying.
:Liloupar: Oh, it's alright... I was only talking about my past... and of my destiny.
:Paimon: Uh... Paimon... Paimon doesn't know what to say...
:Liloupar: Thanks to your company, I was able to return to my mistress's garden...
:Paimon: Wait, what made you say this all of a sudden...?
:Liloupar: Gurabad is, for me, a fated land. I must therefore return back to this city, where my destiny awaits me still.
:Paimon: Um... Do you have to go back and make amends for all the wrong things you've done or something...?
:Liloupar: Done wrong? Ha! I have done nothing wrong. But my children are still there. She and Shiruyeh... they must be rather lonely.
: So what you're saying is...
:Liloupar: The power of the darkness is growing stronger... only a mother's power can face it head-on.
:Liloupar: I thought I could use the dark abyss to punish that which I hated... But what goes around, comes around... It shall also be my destiny to enter Gurabad and face its retribution.
:Liloupar: My master... I am sorry that I couldn't stay by your side for long, and that I could not have more time to get familiar with you.
:Liloupar: But I know that fate will arrange for us to meet again. You possess an incorruptible quality. I believe... that I will have made the right choice.
: The right choice...?
: You're leaving?
:Liloupar: Generally speaking, the master doesn't choose the Jinni. Instead, the Jinni chooses their master. Even should we part ways here, I doubt our connection will be easily severed.
:Liloupar: So... please accept this final gift.
:Liloupar: Please... hold me close to your ear once more.

:Paimon: Eh, look! The light in the bottle has dimmed... Liloupar! Are you alright?
:Paimon: Liloupar? Liloupar?
:Liloupar: (The light of the bottle fades, then the flickering gradually returns — but she speaks no more.)
: She's gone...
: Gurabad... It awaits her.
:Paimon: Is that how it is... Seems like it really was goodbye... Will we ever see her again...?
:Paimon: And uh, should we... go now?
