- The shadow reflects behind the curtain in the confession room. The confused Bobo started the journey of finding clues, but what she found was one puzzle after another...

- (Year 680, St. Cheryl, Royal City of Lilith)
- Streaks of sunlight slant on the brick floor outside the church, and the nun, with a big broom, is sweeping the path at the entrance of the church.
- (Bobo walks from the other end of the path, nodding silently to the nun.)
- (The nun looks surprised when she sees Bobo, but responds to her and takes her to a small confession room.)
- (After the nun turns and leaves, Bobo sits on the only seat in the room in a habituated manner.)
- (After waiting quietly for a while, the huge white curtain in front of Bobo wobbles slightly--Seemingly someone had come in behind the curtain.)
- Bobo: Sir, are you there?
- (As if in response to Bobo the lights in the curtain slowly illuminate, reflecting a shadowy figure.)
- (Bobo sees the figure and puts on a look of disappointment.)
- Bobo: You still only show me a silhouette...
- Shadow: Child, it is for your good to not to see my face.
- Bobo: You always say that.
- (After a moment of silence, the shadow speaks again.)
- Shadow: You returned without completing the mission. What happened?
- Bobo: I... don't understand what's the point in it...
- Bobo: You asked me to involve Nikki in the disputes of this land, and you told me that she was the hope to changing the world. Still, the land is at war...
- Shadow: My dear child, I am very sorry that you think that way.
- Bobo: Sir, I know my unauthorized suspension will have consequences. But it's been so long already and I am good for nothing...
- Shadow: Each of us is just a piece on a massive chessboard. What you're doing right now may not make an immediate difference to the world, but time will give you an answer.
- Shadow: We have been working together for the same goal for so long. If we give up now, we will never ever see the light at the end of the tunnel.
- (The voice on the other side of the curtain has always been so gentle and there seems to be a power in it to calm you down.)
- Bobo: ...I see.
- Bobo: So...what should I do now? Should I go back to Nikki?
- Shadow: I'm afraid that will only alarm her. Why don't you take a break for a while?
- Bobo: But I...I don't need a break. Please give me a new assignment! I made a mistake, and I want to do something to make up for it!
- Shadow: I understand. But child, you must be very tired. Listen to me, go get some sleep, and leave the rest to me.

- (Confession Room, St. Sheryl)
- (After Bobo leaves, another figure appears in the shadow on the side of the confession room.)
- Shadow: Stay with her and report if anything happens.
- Noah: Yes, my lord.
- Noah: But... What if she finds out 'that thing'?
- Shadow: I'll take care of it. Just focus on your job and don't do anything unnecessary.
- Noah: Please rest assured.
- (Royal City of Lilith)
- (The birds begin to sing all around. Bobo walks out of the church, wandering aimlessly along the street.)
- Bobo: (Nikki, how are you doing? Are you safe now? Have you found any new clues?)
- Bobo: (I'm sorry I didn't protect you.)
- Were you really able to protect the people around you?
- (The voice comes from nowhere, seemingly far away, seemingly in the heart.)
- Bobo: ...Who's talking?
- (Bobo looks around somewhat nervously, but there is no one around.)
- Bobo: Eh...
- Bobo: (...Is it an illusion? But... Why does it sound so familiar?)
- (The wind brushes the empty street gently, leaving Bobo in wonder.)
- Bobo: (Am I... able to protect the people around me?)
- Bobo: (If I hadn't left Nikki, would I be able to protect her?)
- Bobo: (If I should go back to her, would we still be friends?)
- (Bobo stops. The sun hides behind the clouds, rendering her shadow obscure.)
- (But she is still standing there, pondering over questions that have no answers.)
- (After some time, the clouds finally unveil the sun, and the streets brighten again. Bobo shakes her head forcefully.)
- Bobo: (Daydream won't change anything. I'd better start taking action!)
- (Bobo takes a small notepad out of her pocket and turns to the page with a bookmark.)
- Bobo: (The previous clue... Ash Tree Institute of Design)
- Bobo: (I can't start from there. Right. I have to get changed with a set of Warmer Clothes.)

- (On the train to Galevilla)
- (Bobo flips her notepad back and forth, looking through the scribbles.)
- Bobo: (The President of Ash Tree Institute of Design... Feels strange.)
- Bobo: (No valuable clues at all. Is he hiding something from me?)
- Bobo: (What did he mean by those last words?)
- (Bobo writes down a question in the corner of the notepad, repeatedly tracing the question mark.)
- Bobo: (Anyway... I can finally go home and see Mom. I'll work these questions out back home.)
- (Bobo looks outside. The ever-changing view now turns into fields outside the town. She can even feel the warmth of wind and smell the fragrance of flowers.)
- Bobo: (I can see Mom soon. She must be missing me so much!)
- (Galevilla)
- (Finally, down the last path, Bobo makes a turn, and gladly looks at the small house of hers.)
- (But in sight are not those lovely flowers in full bloom, but the dust of the closed door, and the withered flowers.)
- (Bobo seems to hear a violent throb of her heart. She feels unable to breathe.)
- (She hurries to open the door, but she is not greeted by the sweetness of returning home, but by stale air.)
- Bobo: Mom!
- (Bobo's echoes are heard but are not answered.)
- Bobo: Mom... Mom, are you there?
- Bobo: Mom, you are scaring me...
- (Bobo yells, looking for her in the dusty home, but it's all messy around, proving someone else was here before.)
- (Her calls and footsteps finally stop. Bobo totters out of the room, blankly. The sun looks great outside, but Bobo feels a little cold.)
- (She takes a few more steps and accidentally bumps into the mailbox standing before the door.)
- (The hasp on the cover of the mailbox falls off, and when Bobo tries to refasten it, she sees that the mailbox is completely full.)
- (Bobo takes out all the letters with trembling hands. She flips through the letters sent from different cities. And the one at the bottom reads 'Wheat Field'.)
- (She glances at the letter, opens her mouth, trying to say something, but knows not what to ask or who could answer it.)
- (A balloon from out of nowhere stops before Bobo.)
- (Subconsciously, Bobo reaches out her hand, but the balloon suddenly explodes the moment she rests her hand upon it, and many colorful stripes pop up.)
- Noah: Surprise!
- (But opposite to Noah's expectation, Bobo is not startled at all. She just turns her head numbly, tears streaming down her face.)
- Bobo: Mom... Disappeared...

- (Noah grasps a white pigeon feather in his hand. When his fist unfolds, it becomes a small white handkerchief.)
- (He passes the handkerchief to Bobo sitting on the bench. Bobo takes it and rubs the tears off her face. But she cannot help herself from sobbing.)
- Noah: Alright, alright, you calm down a bit now? Then let's sort out the clues we have.
- Bobo: Hmm...
- Noah: As you just said, it's a mess in the room. So, did you find any traces of blood?
- Bobo: ...I don't see any.
- Noah: And since the first letter you sent, your mother hasn't read any...
- Bobo: Hmm... All the letters are in the mailbox, unopened...
- Noah: Then, I think you don't have to worry too much. Your mom should be safe for now.
- (Bobo looks up at Noah, wondering why he would come to this conclusion.)
- Noah: The room is very messy, so probably someone took away your mom. But there is no trace of blood, so when your mom left, she was not harmed.
- Noah: None of the letters have been read, so your mom was taken shortly after you left. But no one's contacted you about your mom, so they're not trying to use her to get to you.
- Noah: And if we go further on this angle, we haven't yet received any information about your mom, so no matter what they want, they haven't achieved it.
- Noah: And they will see to the safety of your mom before that.
- (Having listened attentively to Noah's words, Bobo thinks it over and nods her head.)
- Bobo: You have a point...
- Noah: So don't cry, stay positive. You are not such a timid girl.
- Bobo: But I'm still worried...
- Who took my mother?
- Bobo: Who are they?
- Noah: No information could be a signal of her safety, but on the other hand, it leaves us clueless.
- Bobo: Then... how am I supposed to save my mom if I don't know anything at all?

- Noah: Do you feel better?
- Bobo: I... I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me...
- Noah: Never you mind, no need to apologize.
- Bobo: But... didn't you hear a voice?
- Noah: A voice? What voice?
- Bobo: ... Forget it.
- (Hurriedly, Bobo straightens the hemline of her dress and looks away.)
- Noah: So what are you going to do next?
- Bobo: Save my mom, of course! The first thing to do is to find the clues...
- Noah: I have a proposal.
- Bobo: What?
- Noah: Why not ask the Lord? She knows everything. Maybe she has the answer.
- (A cafе́ in the Royal City of Lilith)
- (Noah sits next to the round table in the corner, savoring a cup of coffee and looks up from time to time at the window and the door.)
- (Moments later, Bobo comes in with a note. She scans it carefully as if lost in thought.)
- Noah: You are back! Do you have the answers you sought?
- (Noah's words remind Bobo of the gentle and awkward tone of the Lady. And her eyebrows frown slightly.)
- Bobo: The Lord said... She had sent someone to look into the matter very early on. She had known about it earlier, but she didn't tell me...
- Noah: She doesn't want you to be worry, I guess?
- Bobo: That's what she said, but her investigation leads to nowhere...
- Noah: The Lady is always considerate.
- Bobo: But...
- Noah: What? Let me guess, is it related to the note in your hand?
- Bobo: Well... This is the lady's update. Though unverified. She didn't want to tell me but I pleaded with her... I have to do something myself, instead of relying on the Lord.
- Noah: Well, so what's your hesitation?
- Bobo: The Lord said this could be dangerous, but I'm concerned about mom... Compared to the risk, it's killing me that I can do nothing to save her.
- (Bobo pauses for a moment and takes a deep breath.)
- Bobo: I have decided, I must save my mother, even if it's a long shot!
- (Upon hearing Bobo, Noah squints and smiles, as he reaches out and Bobo's hair.)
- Noah: I haven't been very busy as of late, so I can accompany you.
