Because had they not done so, they would not endure this world. Because they were weak! I was their lighthouse in this world of tempest.... I gave them an unambiguous path to follow! The last of my sailors! By me! Heed my orders! Pursue them!"

Once all of  has been spent, Ahab will use the following rotation until the end of phase:

- Strike Me Down!, Strike Me Down!, Stab to Kill, Undying Soul, Undying Soul

#### Phase 2

In the second phase, Ahab will gain 20 stacks of .

While no enemies have , Ahab will use the following rotation:

- Strike Me Down!, Strike Me Down!, Swathed Fear, Swathed Fear, Punctured Weakness

As long as at least 1 enemy has , Ahab will use the following rotation:

- Swathed Fear, Swathed Fear, Punctured Weakness, Echoing Cry, Echoing Cry

Once all of  has been spent, Ahab will use the following rotation until the end of phase:

- Strike Me Down!, Strike Me Down!, Stab to Kill, Stab to Kill

#### Phase 3

In the third phase, Ahab will gain 30 stacks of , and use the following rotation:

- Strike Me Down!, Stab to Kill, Clouded Path, Insideous Pallidification

- Stab to Kill, Clouded Path, Clouded Path, Bleached Atonement, Insideous Pallidification

- Stab to Kill, Clouded Path, Bleached Atonement, Bleached Atonement, Insideous Pallidification

Once all of  has been spent, Ahab will use the following rotation. Unlike other Egos, Queequeg's Ego can be restored through Insideous Pallidification, so Ahab will use this rotation until she sucessfully gains Queequeg's EGO:

- Stab to Kill, Clouded Path, Clouded Path, Insideous Pallidification

### Event

An unfailable abnormality event triggers after the first turn of Phase 3.

**Combat Event**

"I failed."

"<...!>"

Is that an illusion? Or... is that also Ishmael?

Behind the Captain appears a silhouette of Ishmael, encased in that pale membrane.

"I couldn't solve anything. I failed everything."

"All I managed to do was survive. Pathetically, like a wretch. Hanging on to my dear friend's coffin."

The Captain guffaws madly. "Indeed, Ishmael! You couldn't save anyone! Not your crew! Not your friend! Nobody!"

"And you will give up again. Because you are afraid! You will give up even before you start!"

The Sinners start to get agitated.

"That bloody bastard...!"

"Don't listen to her, Ishmael! S-she doesn't know what she's talking about!

"<......>"

The Manager holds their silence.

Then utters.

**That's not Ishmael.***Proceed to the next choice prompt.*
Sure, you could say that.But... her own answers matter the most here, no?"......"Her breathing is quick and shaking. She deliberates.What answer awaits you at the end of this deliberation?

**Can she endure her own past?**

"... Akh!"Ishmael swings her arm with determination. She tries to focus."Still with your bullshit... I'll tear your mouth from ear to ear!""Fine. Go ahead.""What are you waiting for? Is it because you are too weak to do it? ... Hahaha!"At the Captain's provocation, Ishmael's eyes begin to burn with hatred. She rushes at the Captain.Looks like she's still searching for an answer. And sometimes, wrath may draw one off course. Isn't that right?"

**Ishmael gains 6  and 2 !Ishmael fully heals SPAll allies gain 1 All allies heal 15 SPEffloresced E.G.O::GasHarpoon gains 3**
 **Check Failed**

"……."Her answer to the Manager's question is... endless silence.Is she still contemplating? Or does she think they're wrong?Indeed... it may be too early for her.To decide, that is.

"<Ishmael.>""<It's not over yet.>""<It's too early to decide. There's still time.>""<And when the time comes... no one will make that decision in your stead.>""<Not me. Not Ahab.>""< I know that you can reach your own answers. Find your own way.>""……."Ishmael does not reply. Instead, she tightens the grip on her weapon arm."

**A delayed answer...... is not a bad idea.**
