ÜLAR/Dialogue

* Beginning
* Right Branch
* Ephemerality Route
* Bouquet Route
* Left Branch

* ARGH! Voices in my head!

* Hm...

* ...There's not a lot to choose from.
* What's this?

* Eek!

* That startled me.

* Get out of my head!

* Coach...? Is that edible?

* Uh. You're losing me here a bit.
* Direction? Life goals?
* I didn't even get to eat yet.

* Problem...?
* HEINO? What's that?
* That THING is my partner?

*LOCATION*

* Where is that?
* I don't get it, but okay.

*BRIEF*

* Does it matter how I solve it?

* What's it for?

*DOME*

* "Home"?

*VALUE*

* What's this for?
* VALUE, huh...How do I make it go up?

*VIRTUE*

* O-oh! What's mine?
* That...doesn't tell me anything.

*FREQUENCY*

* What does this mean?
* What happens to the remaining 2%?

* Wait, I still have questions—!

* Gross.

* Hey! Come back!
* Don’t just ditch me like this!

* This jerk!
* You're still in here, aren't you?!

* ▲▲▲▲. I should just delete the app.

* What am I supposed to do now?

* (Oh, right. The RATION CARD.)

* Out of my way!

* What's wrong with you?!

* (Who do they think they are? Ordering me around...)

* (This is it. I'm going to show them.)

*HEINO arrives*

* HEI...NO?

* (So this midget is my partner?)

* (He doesn't even look at me!)
* (Are we...supposed to stand in silence?)
* (Is this some other rule I didn't know?)
* (Aaaaarwwghhh...this is driving me crazy!)

* Hey! Wasn't I supposed to get a gift?
* (Well, here goes my first day bonus.)

* So...
* Uh...
* Are you going to DOME FÖ anytime soon?

* Hey, wait!

* (Darn it! Why did that get stuck in my head?!)
* I've said wait! HEINO!

* Damn. This place is huge.
* Is this staircase ever going to end?

* Oh.

* So there are other domes?

* Wow, okay. What about—

* Oh, right.
* I was supposed to be following HEINO.

* ...!

* (Somebody...)
* MR RAINER...!

* ...!

* Tsk. This is what you get for going ahead of me.

*Entering the Carrier*

* ...

* I don't like it! But I'll do it!

* Hm, what's this?

* (There's so much I don't know about this place, let alone myself.)
* (Thinking about it makes my head hurt.)
* (I was hungry, and then...everything was a blur.)

* (And now I'm heading nowhere with a complete stranger on an unknown mission.)
* (And I still want to eat.)

*Needing to feed ECHO*

* What now...?

* (I never asked MR RAINER what was the whole deal with all this...ECHO stuff.)
* (What is it, exactly?)
* (And how do I even feed it?)
* (Is it invisible, or something?)

* (I still don't get it!)

* (Geez, fine. I'll just stuff it in and see what happens.)
* (Why do you get to eat, and I don't?)

* Bleh. Yuck.

* (...Huh.)
* (Did it just make me feel a little better?)

* ...!

* Ouch.
* Are we there already?

* HEINOoo...why don't you say anything?
* Hey. WHy do you think the roof is leaking?
* This is so weird. We can move ahead, but our carrier can't?

* Does it always stop like this?
* Isn't that like, super inconvenient for passengers?
* I'm so confused.

* We've been...walking...for eons.
* Are we there yet?
* Ugh...

* (If I don't eat something right now, I'm not going to make it.)

* If I don't eat something this very moment—

* ...!

* (What in the world was I thinking?!)

* (This pitter-patter is driving me crazy.)

* (Let's calm down, ÜLAR.)

* Ooh.

* At last...

*Entering the Paraplane*

* It's sure lively in here.

* ...!

* HEY, watch it!

* Geez.

* What's with all the commotion?

* (It could do that?!)
* O-okay. Go for it?

*Offered Divine Buddy*

* Me?
* Uh, I...

* Don't want it
	+ I'll destroy it without your help.

* Will take one
	+ I'll use anything.

* (Huh... what did I just...)

*Accepting*

* What a weird design.
* Does it even work?

* ...

*Refusing*

* No. I don't want it.

* Dang. He's dedicated.

*Talking to HEINO*

* Hey, HEINO.
* What are we looking for, anyway?
* (No reaction again...)
* Anything suspicious, right?
* Alright. I'll handle this.

* (Suspicious activity...suspicious activity...)
* (Everyone here looks suspicious.)
* (What does a normal hjörian even act like?)

* There's no way I'll find—

* ("ÜLAR"...? The same as me?)
* (Didn't MR RAINER say that no hjörians have the same TAG...?)

* Then, he must be—!
* (Ah, dang. He noticed me.)

* (I won't let you get away!)

* ...
* Darn it. He's...fast...

* There goes my first mission.
* Looks like I've lost him.

*Getting attacked by Reverse ÜLAR*

* Argh! I don't know and nobody tells me anything!
* Are you having fun disfiguring me?

*Thinking while being ripped apart*

* His each word is punctuated by a ripping sound.
* ÜLAR is taking me apart, piece by piece.

*HEINO rescues ÜLAR*

* ...

* Ugh.

* What are you implying?
* "ÜLAR's so useless he can't even walk by himself"?

* Put me down!
* I *can* manage on my own, okay?!

* Without your...

* Help...

*Nobody rescues ÜLAR*

* ...

* ...did I black out again?
* (So many SPORES around...did we return to AINU?)

* Huh.
* I'm supposed to be blind, but I can sort of sense where things are.
* Eat that, raincoat-hjörians.

*MR RAINER wakes up*

* MR RAINER—!
* I mean, ack. You again.
* Do I get to ask questions?

* Tell me. How did i get to AINU?
* That bastard. I don't remember anything after he lifted me off the ground.

* Thanks for the compliment.

* What happened in FÖ, anyway?
* Tsk. Figures.
* So what was it?

* Eh. It was that nosy salesman?!

*Choosing simulated raincoat-hjörian behavior*

* So it can...copy...how others act?

*Choosing no other Artefact like it*

* That's a lie.
* You said there were no identical hjörians.
* That everyone's unique.
* If so...
* Then who on HJÖ was the other ÜLAR?

* ...MR RAINER?
* What? No. I don't want a new TAG.

* I want to know what's wrong with me.

* ...
* It's nothing.

*Choosing very valuable*

* So everyone's first thought is to pursue them?

* Uh...sure?

*Choosing Diviners*

* Did it hate the Diviners that much?
* If so, I totally get it. They're absolute morons.

* Hm...'s that so.

* Should I tell him that I feel it, too?
* No.
* No, I shouldn't. I mustn't.
* If anyone knows that something's wrong with me, they'll...
* They'll...

* !!
* Y-yeah?

*After convo branch*

* Uh..no. I'm beat.

* (And, I'm alone again.)

*Thinking*

* ..."Alone"?
* Is it supposed to matter?
* I don't even want to be here in the first place.

* (Should we have...discussed this?)

* (Argh! I'm getting a headache just imagining it!)

* (...I'm probably just worn out.)

*After seeing UIBO advertisement*

* (Not a single word about the Artefact, huh...)
* (At least we solved their problem.)
* (Or more like, HEINO did.)

* (All I did was get pushed around and blinded by some freak who looks like me.)
* (To think of it, no one ever told me what I was really supposed to be doing.)
* (Besides, I never figured out why our carrier stopped...or why FÖ had a delivery problem in the first place.)
* (How did HEINO even catch that thing?)
* (Was it...supposed to be that easy? Am I the one who's acting stupid?)
* (Am I the one who can't do anything right?)

* How long will it continue like this? Days? Weeks? Decades?
* At this rate, I'll never keep up.

* (A-ah. Let's not think about it.)
* (It feels like I'm missing something vital, but nobody has the answers.)
* (...I wish there was something to eat.)
* (Or something less depressing to listen to.)

* What? Oh, go ahead.

*After hearing MR RAINER's announcement*

* ...All except for me.
* No matter how hard I try, I can't do it.

*Seeing the DOME TAU Ad*

* ...

* ...?

*MR RAINER comes back*

* Will you ever get tired of sneaking up on me?

* I have a day off?
* Which means—?!

* ……
* (So...No major missions today?)

* (Yet still...Outside? Wasn't that place supposed to be dangerous?)
* (I need to ask ECHONET for directions.)
* (But before that...I should look for food.)

### AINU Minigame

*Interacting with Elevator*

* "Are you kidding me?"

*Lower left Raincoat-hjörian*

* "Have you seen HEINO, "AINU friend"?"

*Middle Raincoat-hjörian*

* "Hey, have you seen HEINO?"
* "He's about this tall, and-"
* ...Tch. The raincoat-hjörian ignores me.

*Interacting with triangular spore*

* "It looks like a lot of spores come in triangular shapes."

*Interacting with stick-like spore*

* "These spores look nothing like raincoat-hjörians."

*Interacting with laying-down Raincoat-hjörian*

* "Must be nice to be able to rest."

*Interacting with back of the line*

* ("This line looks annoying. I guess I have no choice but to check the METRO.")

*Interacting with ring-like spore*

* "I wish I could become a floating sphere, too."

*Checking back to METRO*

* "Why did HEINO leave without me...?"

*Interacting with Dispenser*

* "Oh, right. I still have my voucher."

### After Minigame

*Getting MYSTERY ITEM*

* And the mystery item is...another booklet?

* Looks like I've been everywhere on this floor.
* There should be at least 4 other levels, but they're not accessible. For now, at least.

* A-ah, so *boring*...

* There's really nothing to do in this place.
* (Everyone just comes and goes.)
* (They must only use this facility for resting up before work and getting ECHO food.)
* (At least I'm not getting tortured by my own doppelganger.)

*Feeding ECHO*

* Here we go.

* (…)
* (My head feels so light.)
* (I didn't really think about it, but...it felt the same the last time, too.)
* (But it doesn't make me less hungry.)
* (Maybe it's because the food isn't for me?)

*Daily Task*

* Hey, ECHO. How do I get Outside?

* Let's see...a net and a stick? Are they even taking this seriously?
* Oh, and emergency ECHO food. That'll come in handy.

* (...The Rain is deafening. I can barely hear my own thoughts.)

* (Huh?)
* (This lump? It sure doesn't look like one.)

* ...

* ...!

* (...I couldn't fit it into the net in the end. It's just too massive.)
* (Just what are they made of?)

* (Huh...in the distance...there's a sound?)

* (It feels almost..)
* (Familiar?)

* Be quiet.

* Ugh, so annoying!
* Fine, I'll go back, so turn it off!

*Pass for DOME TAU approved*

* (!)
* (Does this mean I can go to TAU?)

* (...I never told MR RAINER about it.)
* (What if this is prohibited?)
* (...But, it's not like I'm leaving forever. I just need to get to the DEFRAGMENTATION CHAMBER.)
* (When I come back, I'll raise my VALUE for sure.)
* (Then, no one will look down at me.)

* (So far so good.)
* (Now then, if I quietly go to the elevator... I should be able to get to TAU.)

* Hey, you! Be quiet!
* (...? Now that I look at it, it's the thing from earlier.)
* (Even with the way I am now, I can tell from its silhouette.)

* (I don't have time for this!)

* (Damn it.)
* ("Well-rested", my ass.)

* (This thing really thinks I'll give up so easily?)

*Spotting ECHO*

* (Just where is HEINO? I need to ask him a few—)

* (!)

* ...Huh.
* It's not moving.

* Ah...yeah. Hi.
* ...No, not really.

* MR RAINER.
* Is there a way to fix this?
* It was moving the other day.

* ...

* Huh…
* (Just "hjörians"? Not "raincoat-hjörians"?)
* What about HEINO?
* Geh. He doesn't care if I'm present at all, does he?

* (Now then...what should I do with this?)
* (ECHO DISPOSAL POINT...was it?)

### DOME SOO

* (!)

* (What was that?)

* (Made me all dusty...)

* Hey! HEINO!
* Some guts you have, showing up here before me.
* We're supposed to be partners, no?

* Are you even listening?

* No, no, no, wait!
* I won't hold you back! I promise!
* I'm just here to hel———

*Thinking after being knocked out by HEINO*

* Unfair.
* You're unfair.
* You didn't even let me try.
* How am I supposed to learn if I'm not allowed to make mistakes?

*After restoring VALUE*

* Hey, ECHO...What's my current VALUE?
* Thought so.

* (Looks like I'm still in SOO.)
* (HEINO...did he just leave me here?)
* (I should leave before I get serious fiber damage.)

* (To think of it, it's way past WORK PHASE...if I go from here, I can reach TAU in no time.)
* (Heh. Maybe I'll even get to return by the time next WORK PHASE starts.)
* (Then they'll fix me up, and I'll finally be able to rest.)
* (The reason why I'm underperfroming right now is definitely because I'm tired. It has to be.)

* ECHO, give me directions. How do I get to DOME TAU?
* Got it.
* (I should hurry, or I won't make it.)

*Getting on Carrier*

* (...Phew. Hope it's the right one.)

### DOME TAU

*Entering DOME TAU*

* (At least make it tactile, or something.)

* The form...? I can't even read in my condition!
* Give it to me after you've healed me!

* Ugh...I keep missing the button. What if I click something else by accident?

* Phew...Looks like I got it done.
* (!?)

*Meeting LUKA*

* Oh, you're here to defragment, too?

* I'm ÜLAR.

* (I can't see his expression...hope it wasn't the wrong decision.)
* (But, he can see my tag anyway. There's no use lying about it.)

* What dome are you from, by the way?

*Being taken to Blooming Field*

* (*"Blooming Field"?* What does it have to do with the defragmentation chamber?)

* (I don't really have any.)
* (Except this.)

* (This thing was useless, anyway.)

* ...? Is this...the defragmentation chamber?
* (LUKA's already in.)

* (For some reason…)

* (I have a bad feeling about this.)

* Hey, what are these capsules for?
* Standby...? So...for how long will I have to stay inside this?
* (What? I never agreed to this!)
* (I just want to defragment myself and go!)

* (I have to run.)

* I'm going home! Let me go!

* That's bullshit! I haven't agreed to anything!

* (Ugh. He's too strong...why are all of them this strong?!)

* (I...might never come back to AINU.)

* I'm such an idiot. An idiot who never learns.

### Meeting RENE

*Waking up to RENE chained*

* ...!

*Waking up to RENE again*

* Eek!

* (Fix me...up?)
* ((Oh, right...my eyesight is back? Is this because *he* did something about it...?)
* Just who are you?

* (RENE...?)
* (This doesn't ring any bells.)
* (But...there's something irritating about him. I just can't put my finger on it.)

*Thinking about being importatnt to RENE*

* (Huh...)
* (Am "I" that important to you?)
* (However...)
* (You've got the wrong person.)
* (But there's no way I'll say that.)

*RENE tending to his wounds*

* (...)

*Looking for MR RAINER after RENE leaves*

* ......
* MR RAINER! MR RAINER! Answer me, damn it!
* (What now? It can't be that he's upset I ran away...can it?)

*RENE brings ERIK*

* ...!

* (Job...?)
* (Oh, right. "I"'m supposed to be his "employee".)

* (Shit. Shit. Shit!)

* MR RAINER!
* If you don't do anything, I'll die in two shifts! I don't even know how long that is!

* ...
* ...It's no use.
* Why did it end up like this?
* I just wanted to feel a little better.
* Is this too much to ask for?

* Look at them, comfortable in their coats.

* ...Ugh. There's no use complaining.
* Let's get you to MÜ, shall we?

### DOME MÜ

*Arriving at DOME MÜ*

* (We made it to DOME MÜ somehow.)
* (Everything seems alright so far.)
* (Aside from the fact that I'll die soon.)

* MÜ Star Factory...it should be this place.
* Where am I supposed to leave him?
* There's nothing but pylons in here.

*Accidentally warping*

* Huh?

* ...ERIK?

* (Calm down, ÜLAR. You can find him.)

* ECHO, locate ERIK.
* Shit, it must be because he doesn't count as a *person*.
* Damn it!

* (Maybe I should ask somebody about it...?)
* (Yet...why am I hesitating?)

* Huh?

* …?

*Leaving VOTING SHOW*

* (I don't have time for this!)

* (If I don't find ERIK soon—)

* ...!

* (EINAR?! Is...is this one the real thing? Or...)

* You...

* ......

* Would you please tell your valued customer the way to the exit?

* I'm back!

* (ERIK's...nowhere in sight.)

* (But where do I look for him?)
* (It can't be that he went to that corridor in the back all by himself, can it.)
* (I have no idea what's beyond there, or if I'm allowed there at all.)

* (But...if I'm under the umbrella, then no one will notice me.)

* ...?
* (The "box" this person is carrying...could it be ERIK?)
* (There's no way that could be true...right?)
* (But RENE said...aah...damn it!)

### Approaching AIK

* Hey! You here!

* Have you seen a grey raincoat-hjörian around here?

* Uh...
* Here! Take this!
* It's an Ultra Rare Artefact that makes you invisible!

* What about—

* (What a rude guy.)
* (But...)

* (This means the problem is solved! I can go back to TAU.)

*Return to DOME TAU*

* ...

### RENE's Lab

*Waking up in hammock*

* Huh...?

* ("Dream"...?)

* Hey, get ou—

* (△△△△! Did—)

* ("Rest", huh.)

* (Easy for you to say...)

*Waking up alone*

* (RENE's...not here.)
* What is this place, really?

*Checking sewing kit on table*

* Looks like RENE left his sewing kit here.
* Maybe he was in a hurry?

*Checking window*

* The window is covered with some kind of semi-transparent grey material. It's a bit slimy to the touch.
* Outside, there's a field full of plants. I'm sort of curious about it. It seems like a quiet place.

*Checking red door*

* This passageway leads to the elevator that goes all the way down to DOME TAU's entrance hall.
* You need to have special permission to use it.

*Checking blue door*

* A strange passageway of unknown color. Just where does it lead...?

### Luminol Hall

* (The shelves are...filled with neatly arranged junk?)
* (...I thought it'd be something more sinister.)
* (What are these even for?)

* Uh— No, I just—

* These are...Artefacts?

* ......

* (So the value of these Artefacts is "subjective"...)
* (Then maybe...my VALUE, too, must be—)

*Selecting Tube with a hole in it*

* So...If I don't bear ill will towards the person, I won't see anything?

*Selecting Fleshy (? thing*

* (Oh...it changed its shape.)

*Selecting Floating Spikes*

* Is that all...? It just looks pretty?

*Moving on*

* A globe...?

* ("The entire HJÖ in the palm of my hand", he says.)

* ...

### ERIK Stream

* He's an EV Star now?
* I'll pass.

* (Does that mean anyone's personality can get overwritten this easily?)

### DOME VI

*Walking to DOME VI with RENE*

* (RENE said we'll be going to DOME VI together, but for what?)
* (These hjörians...they're following him everywhere.)

* Who are they?

* You mean...they're artificial raincoats?
* Did you make them?
* (A garden...?)

*Arriving at DOME VI*

* Up there, is a...

* Where are we going?

* (Wait, aren't these...)

* (I should've known. I didn't have a choice to begin with!!)

* (This really looks like that room back at TAU...)
* (Just what is he going to make me do?)

* Urk!!

### Field of the Undying

*Looking out the window*

* "Let your potential bloom"...

* Am I allowed to?

* These black flowers...
* Huh?!
* ...Can I?

* (The stem looks so frail...it looks like it would break at the slightest touch.)

* Bweh.

* (Then don't suggest things like that!)
* (It scraped the inside of my mouth!)

* So it's kinda like the Cloud?

* ......

### Tree of Ignorance

*Watching RENE working*

* (RENE...he's always immersed in work.)
* (I wonder what he's doing, or...who he is, for that matter.)

* (The way he gives out orders like it's something one would naturally do, or the way we can enter just about any facility without asking...)
* (Who is he really?)

* Uh.

*After ÜLAR wakes up from dream*

* ...

* (Is something like this even possible?)
* (No matter how much I tugged on mine, it wouldn't come off.)

* (You're making it sound like I'm the one being worn by the raincoat here...)

* (I look like the other ÜLAR...because of the raincoat?)

* ...!

* Why do they only form a bond with hjörians?
* Aren't there like... Echoes and etheroids, too?

* ("Tools", huh...)

### Dream Sequence

*TRIAL Dream Sequence*

* ......

*After Circle Dream Sequence*

* (HEINO...?)

### DOME VI

*Getting out of Dream Cocoon*

* Hm?

*Thinking after seeing the other ÜLAR*

* I didn't want to look.
* Didn't want to think about it.
* Didn't want to know.
* But, no matter how I framed it,
* No matter how much I wanted to avert my eyes,
* The one who fell out of the Cocoon was...

*Seeing the other ÜLAR*

* ...an "ÜLAR".

* ......

* Get back in there!

*Running away*

* In the end, all I can do is run.
* Because I'm a coward.
* Because I want these days to continue.
* Because I don't want him to know.

*Running into RENE*

* I...

* I've seen all the dreams.

### DOME TAU

*In RENE's Lab*

* (I can't relax at all.)

*Luminol Hall*

* (RENE...gave me a present from his collection.)
* (Taught me so many things about this world, even though he didn't have to.)
* (Gave someone like me a place to belong.)

* (Even though I'm a complete failure, why did he...?)

*Thinking*

* Because I'm a "tool"?
* Because I'm "being used"?
* None of these words explain the treatment I've gotten that the other ÜLARs didn't.
* Just whom did he see when he was looking at me?
* RENE, he...even though he called me his employee, he didn't act like I was one.
* It's as if it was an excuse.
* An excuse...for what?

*Crouching*

* (If only I didn't get curious about that cocoon...)
* (I should just stop thinking about it.)

*Thinking*

* Perhaps I should just stop thinking altogether.
* Each time I did something on my own accord, I only ended up getting hurt.

*RENE arrives*

* R-RENE

* .......

* (You call them "complex", but they're only complex for the likes of me.)

*RENE is dead*

* .......RENE?

* Hey! Get a hold of yourself!
* Didn't you...

* Didn't you say that raincoat-hjörians are immortal?

*Janitors arrive*

* What...what are you going to do?

* This is...all I have left of him.

* Say...if I ate you, would I hear your voice again?

* Would you tell me I did well?

* Would you tell me more about this world?

* All I wanted was to hear over and over again that I'm allowed to live among all of you the way I am.
* It didn't matter who'd tell me these words.

* How stupid.

* Say, RENE?
* The Song you once mentioned...I still don't understand what was it all about.

* Is that...so.

* Then, even someone like me...could also...

### Following Discreetely

* (It's safer not to show myself.)
* (Let's see where he's going with it, and snatch it while he isn't looking. This is my only lead right now.)

* ...?

* (!!!)

* (What the hell was that?!)
* (Is this...the Vanishing?)
* (Well, whatever.)
* (I'll just check what's in that box.)
* (The box...is gone?!)
* (Did that guy take it, too?!)

* (Shit!)
* (If I...)
* (If I don't do anything, this guy will be taken away along with ERIK.)
* (I can't just tell RENE I lost his cargo.)

* (But what can someone like me even do?)

*AIK is dumped into water*

* ...

* Why me?!

* (But if I don't get him back, I can't get out of here on my own.)
* (I hate to say it, but this guy is my only hope.)

* Hey! Wake up!

* No reaction...
* Maybe he's out of etherium?

*AIK wakes up*

* Urk!

* (What a weird voice. Is that a frequency thing?)

* Listen! We have to get out of here!

*Thinking*

* ◬◬◬◬. Is he one of the people who know me?
* What should I—

*AIK is thinking*

* (He's not that interested...)
* (Maybe "I" was just an acquaintance to him.)
* Psst, ECHO. Display his tag.

* Moving where?

* Uh. I don't think I can climb up this wall by myself.
* Fiber damage.

* (Yes! It worked!)

* ...!
* (Raincoats can do *that*?!)
* You're...taking me with you?
* I'm going!

* (Hope I don't regret this...)

* Where are we right now?
* How can you tell?

* Do you have any ideas who your kidnappers were?
* Hmph.
* I really thought it was The Vanishing, or something.
* (Hey, don't give me weird labels out of nowhere.)

*Clicking Fabric of the Future*

* Uh...

*Talking about Fabric of the Future*

* ...So Fabric of the Future is like a secret club, or something?
* But don't they kidnap people?
* .......?

* Hey, are we far from AINU?
* Yeah. There was an uh, a rare Artefact report there the other day.
* (I'll keep quiet about TAU for now.)
* (Urk. Was that not in-character?)
* Forget the Artefact.
* There's a malicious patch that'll mess me up if I don't go there, okay?
* .......
* O-oh! You can do that?!

### AIK's Vault

* (Ew.)

* Tsk.

* Ugh...
* (I have no gel left.)
* (I'm actually starting to miss HEINO knocking me out. Those were the only times I was able to rest.)

* (I just need something...to eat...isn't there anything?)

* (Anything...)

*Waking up in glass*

* (...A melody?)
* (No...he's repeatedly muttering something.)

* (What was I doing?)
* (I was hungry, and then...And then?)

* Hey!
* What's the meaning of this? Let me out!

* AIK...?

### DOME AINU

*Thinking about AIK*

* In the end, I didn't get the opportunity to ask anything about ERIK.
* Or get the patch removed, for that matter.

*METRO*

* (AIK, he...What was he so afraid of?)
* (He was so calm before, and then...)

* (I don't get him at all.)

*Thinking of HEINO*

* ...HEINO has to be around somewhere in AINU.
* He must know how to remove the patch.

*Seeing HEINO*

* (!)
* HEINO!

* Listen, you have to help me.
* I got kidnapped and patched. We have to—

* (He's...!)

* ...

* Huh?!

* I'm HEINO's partner. Me. ÜLAR!

* But I—— MR RAINER said——
* What—
* (Employee card? What's that? MR RAINER sent me so much data, there has to be something—)

* (Taking care of Echoes...Connecting to Echonet...Profile...)
* Oh! There it is! You're talking about my public profile, right?

* I...I...

*Realization*

* I don't have it.
* I don't know what to say.
* I'm not a Solver.
* I'm not even a raincoat-hjörian.
* I'm a fraud.
* I shouldn't be here.

*Running away*

* I...

*Thinking of the others*

* MR RAINER disappeared.

* HEINO is not my partner.

* HEINO's actual partner is the psychopath who kidnapped AIK.

* EINAR only cares about selling junk.

* I'm afraid of RENE.

* AIK...Doesn't want to talk to me anymore.

* All that's left for me is...

*OSKAR approaches*

* ...

* ...?

*Being asked if he's okay*

* I'm not.
* I'm hungry. I'm hurt. I'm tired.
* But I can't tell anyone.
* Because eating
* Because feeling pain
* Because feeling tired
* Isn't something raincoat-hjörians do.

*OSKAR talking*

* I...
* I don't know what to say to him.

* I'm going to die.

### DOME KRI

*Entrance*

* ...

* I want to eat.

* Say, do you have any food here?
* Anything is fine. Just...

*Waking up at the Pit*

* What...What was I doing?

* No...It's nothing.

*Interacting with the threads*

* There are pieces of black thread growing out of his mouth. They're moving somewhat erratically.

*Interacting with raincoat*

* Looks like a functioning raincoat

*Selecting Examine Pockets*

* A white piece of cloth. I have no use for it.
* There's something else.

* A small figure.
* “The Founder of Life” is engraved on it.
* ...I'll take it with me.

*Selecting Tear it off*

* ...
* The fabric persistently clings to the body.

*Interacting with the eye*

* The eye isn't moving.
* Borrow the eyeball

* ...
* There's no point in me taking it, after all.

*Moving on*

* Oh, right...
* Doesn't everyone have Echoes in them?

* Not there.
* It's not there.

*Train Dream Sequence*

* HEINO? You're HEINO, right?
* Hey...Do you know where is this?

* (No answer, as usual.)

* ?

* (Almost all of them have left.)

* Eek!

* Huh?

* (Just what was he trying to tell me?)

* (He's gone.)

### Festival Hill

* (It can't be. It can't be. It can't be.)

* (Even though I was supposed to be disgusted.)
* (Even though I was supposed to loathe it.)
* (Even though I was supposed to be afraid.)
* What I really felt was—

* (Run. I have to run.)
* (So I wouldn't succumb to—)

*The Pit*

* All this time.

* All this time.

* The way I felt towards their treatment of the Echoes...
* The way I felt towards the Echoes...
* ...wasn't fear for my own life.

* It was pure, concentrated...

*Eating*

* A neatly wrapped box chock-full of industrial waste.

* A worn-out bag filled with inner turmoil and longing.

* A pack full of snacks that taste sweet, yet leave ulcers in your mouth.

* How did I not realize this before?

* This world is full of gifts waiting to be unwrapped!

* You never know what you'll find inside!

### Waking up Blind

* (Looks like I passed out...)
* (Thanks, One True ÜLAR. Now I can't see shit.)
* (Hey. Can you turn my vision back on?)
* (Weird. The voice in my head doesn't answer.)
* (Oh well. Where is this?)
* (There are walls all around me...)

* (Hm...? There's a voice coming from above.)

* (▲▲▲▲. It's him.)
* (Is he talking to someone?)

* (...!)

* What are you—
* ▲▲▲▲—!

* Cough...cough...

* What's going to happen to me?

* (Here we go again...)
* Wish you would tell me, Original ÜLAR.

* (He's so darn stuck on being unique.)

* What are you going on about?
* I am myself.
