Dialogue[]
Opening:[]
- (They enter the study. Nancy takes out a dainty box from the drawer underneath the bookcase.)
- (She lifts the lid, and a uniquely shaped bracelet enters their sight.)
- (Silver filigree outlines a butterfly dancing among flowers, bright and shiny under sunlight. Surprisingly, the crystal embellished on its stomach is the same as Aurora's Tear's.)
- Nancy: The bracelet was kept in a temple in the wilderness. Legend has it that one's soul will be absorbed when styling against someone wearing it. Only the temple's power can subdue it.
- Nikki: One's soul will be absorbed... In other words, it absorbs your memories, right?
- Nancy: Exactly. After digging deeper, we've found that just like Aurora's Tear, this bracelet also erases people's memories. The memories will only reappear a few days later.
- Nancy: We have some theories on the truth behind these accessories, but we're not sure what our next step should be.
- Nikki: The butterfly on this bracelet... reminds me of something.
- Momo: Have you got any ideas, Nikki?
- Nikki: Hmm... Perhaps like with Aurora's Tear, resonating with this bracelet may give us more hints.
- Nancy: But isn't it too risky?
- Nikki: The Royal City of the Pigeon Kingdom is in peril. Queen Elle must regain her memories soon and set things right. I have to give it a shot.
- Nancy: Then you must be extra careful, Nikki.
- Nikki: Don't worry, I will.
- Momo: Since the bracelet was kept in the wilderness, why not change into a desert traveler set? It may make your quest easier!
Conclusion:[]
- (Nikki squeezes her eyes shut and breathes deeply. This bracelet is different from Aurora's Tear, as the absorbed memories have already vanished, and nothing can be felt from it.)
- (The void is even more confusing than chaos. Nikki frowns tensely, refusing to overlook any hint of disturbance.)
- (At last, a brightness. The familiar gold butterfly dances before Nikki's eyes, leading her eyes to a man's straight-backed silhouette beside a perfectly tranquil lake.)
- (King Sayet. Nikki recognizes the figure. As she tries to get closer, humid wind blows. The gold butterfly fades as if out of strength, leaving behind only King Sayet's sigh.)
- (The quiet lake holds the star-studded sky, embracing the other side gently. The cool breeze reminds Nikki of what she felt when she met King Sayet after opening the chest.)
- (Slowly, Nikki opens her eyes, only to meet Momo and Nancy's concerned stares.)
- Momo: You're back with us, finally! Did you see anything?
- Nikki: The truth probably lies in King Sayet's third treasure chest. Just now, in this bracelet, I experienced the same feeling I had when I opened the Lily Chest.
- Nancy: I have guessed that the memory loss of the stylists who took part in the Nine-Day War was perhaps caused by the very things they were fighting for.
- Nancy: Princess Ace snuck me into the palace to investigate, but our search proved futile. Nikki, I believe in your ability. You'll surely make important discoveries.
- Momo: Then let's go back and find Ace! I'm sure she'll sort out something for us.
- Nikki: We'll set out now. Will you join us, Nancy?
- Nancy: I'm sorry, I've promised a nun to sew new gowns for the children of the choir with her today, so I can't come with you. But there is something I wish to give you.
- (Nancy produces another object from the drawer and passes it to Nikki.)
- (It is a necklace in the shape of a sunflower. Made of gauze, it is simple and light.)
- Nikki: What is this?
- Nancy: At a gathering, I made this with the friends and families of those who suffer memory loss. Let it accompany you on the journey in our stead.
- (Nikki stows away the necklace with great care.)
- Nikki: Wait for my good news.
