Dialogue[]
Opening:[]
- (The passage is very quiet. Ace sends the guards away and rushes straight to the room deep in the palace with Nikki and Momo.)
- Ace: That’s it.
- (King Sayet's relic is kept safe here, the moonlight shining through the window casting a shadow over it.)
- (For some reason, Nikki can feel the energy flowing in it.)
- Nikki: Leave it to me from here.
- Momo: You can do it, Nikki! Good luck!
- (Nikki nods and opens the Thorny Tree Chest. It holds only a heart-shaped pendant. The filigree base's top is punctured for a chain and there is a dent on each of the two sides.)
- (Shocked at the relic being incomplete, Nikki's fingertips touch the gem and prompt a resonance, or rather... The gem initiates a connection with Nikki.)
- (Reopening her eyes, Nikki feels as if she is in the depths of the ocean.)
- Nikki: Where am I?
- (She's astonished to find that the single feeble light comes from herself. Her sunflower necklace is floating toward a specific direction, as if guiding Nikki somewhere.)
- Nikki: Where are you taking me to?
- (Another vague vision emerges before Nikki's eyes. As she swims forward, the vision becomes clearer and clearer.)
- (It is a giant thorny tree. Its spiky hanging branches hug a sparkly, translucent bubble in the center, a puff of hazy mist seeming to float within.)
- (Skirting around the sharp thorns, Nikki presses her palm onto the transparent membrane. Instantly, countless memories of joy and sorrow come flooding out.)
- (The memories of the Nine-Day War's participants are sealed here!)
- (Meanwhile, the giant thorny tree senses Nikki's presence and begins waving its branches wildly.)
- (Nikki shifts and dodges in the water current, barely evading a few cuts by the razor-sharp thorns.)
- (Dodging endlessly with her full strength is wearing Nikki out, the light on her also growing diffuse. She realizes that given time, she'll be devoured completely by darkness.)
- Nikki: No, I must think of something.
- Nikki: Ace and Nancy... They've worked so hard for so long, they've been waiting so patiently. I must bring back everyone's memories!
- (The sunflower necklace suddenly drifts higher, the petals tugging Nikki's light like hands. An unexpected light shines in the deep sea, faint but enough to repel the thorns.)
- Nikki: It fears the light! Perhaps with the power of the sunflower necklace, I can pierce through this darkness.
Conclusion:[]
- (Nikki grips the sunflower necklace in her hands, somehow sensing that it carries the hope for a beautiful future of many people.)
- (Light beams shower down from above like loving thoughts coming from different parts of the world, in answer to Nikki's call.)
- (As the mammoth creature retreats in fear of the light, the transparent layer shatters instantly, falling apart.)
- (The mist transforms into strands of flowing light, drifting away with the brightness.)
- Momo: Nikki!
- Ace: Nikki, are you alright?
- Nikki: I'm fine...
- (Nikki stares down at the heart-shaped pendant in her hand, unable to comprehend the mystery of the vision she's just witnessed.)
- Ace: Nikki, did we... succeed? How strange, just now, I suddenly felt a strong urge to see my sister.
- Nikki: I'm not sure either...
- Momo: Let's go to the meeting hall and find out!
- Ace: Okay!
