## Plot

### Dialogue 1:

* **Argyll:** So this is the hearsay StarLight hideout. I'd never imagined that it would be in such a remote place like this.
* **Sarah Coldwell:** Because we're not a bunch of bluffs like you Aethers.
* **Catherine:** Don't slander us. It's true that there are some bad apples who spoil the organization. But not everyone in Aether is like that!
* **Catherine:** Ms. Coldwell! I'm really disappointed. I had admired you as a commander, being one myself!
* **Sarah:** No, we're the ones who are disappointed. We thought we had same goals, even if our values may be different.
* **Sarah:** But you even broke our final expectation. What on earth were you going to do with that cube?
* **Catherine:** That's a misunderstanding! We were just...
* **Sarah:** What was the misunderstanding?
* **Sarah:** That the [Tristan Cube], which had been missing for decades, was in Aether? Or that you Aethers were up to something? Was that the misinterpretation?
* **Argyll:** We Aether used the power of the [Tristan Cube] to maintain public order. We weren't trying to do something else like you suspected.
* **Catherine:** Argyll and I belatedly found out about this project. We only knew after the cube was stolen!
* **Liddie:** That's why we can't trust you. We can't grasp what your organization leaders are up to.
* **Catherine:** No. There's no way they would do that!
* **Argyll:** Wait a minute, Catherine. There's something bothering me, too.
* **Argyll:** All our superiors did was order us to find an important thing that was stolen. They didn't provide us with any clues about the criminal, the most critical matter.
* **Catherine:** What? Wasn't the criminal Claude?
* **Argyll:** No, it was circumstantial reasoning.
* **Claude:** Seriously? You wasted 2 whole years on suspicion with no evidence?
* **Argyll:** Even if it weren't for that, your criminal record was already full. You were the No. 1 most wanted criminal even before that!
* **Sarah:** If you really want peace in Tetra, hand the cube over to us, Argyll.
* **Argyll:** Then, what will you do with this, Sarah?
* **Sarah:** I won't do anything.
* **Argyll:** Then why ask for the piece of cube?
* **Sarah:** This city ended up like this because of the cube. Doing nothing will lead to peace.
* **Liddie:** I knew you'd say that, boss!
* **Sarah:** And let's look for the rest of the cube pieces.
* **Chi Pong:** Why search such a dangerous thing?
* **Sarah:** Because the monsters will only go back to their worlds after all cube pieces are found.
* **Argyll:** Alright. That's like you, StarLight. Good. Then, I'll leave the piece of cube here.
* **Catherine:** What? Are you nuts? What will you do if Sir Julius finds out?
* **Argyll:** It doesn't mean I'm giving it to them. It originally belongs to Aether also.
* **Argyll:** I'll retrieve it after gaining trust on Aether!
* **Sarah:** I'll gladly give it back when you do.
* **Argyll:** Catherine, let's go! We have a lot of work to do from now on.
* **Catherine:** A-Alright.

* **Catherine:** No way! Argyll, are you really serious about this? You'll let Commander Sarah persuade you and just give away the piece of cube?
* **Catherine:** Once this is known, the authority of Aether will crash to the ground! Some citizens already say that StarLight is better than Aether.
* **Argyll:** No. I don't believe everything she says. But that's only a piece, so StarLight can keep it for now.
* **Catherine:** For now? Then, when will we get it back?
* **Argyll:** After the completion of the investigation on the project investment our leading team kept secret. I myself can't believe what our executives are up to.
* **Argyll:** I made a vow to myself to not be put off by what I've heard. I have to turn Claude over to the headquarters, and collect information on the remaining cube pieces first.
* **Claude:** You distrust your leading team but will turn me over at all costs? But I'm glad to hear that the pain of that day was a good lesson for you.
* **Argyll:** Shut up. I'll turn you over, even if Aether were hell.
* **Claude:** So harsh.
