Dreamwalkers
The crew decides to take a quick break while searching the Gallery of Dreams for Katalina and Rackam. Morphe prepares some tea, which has a unique flavor based on the memories of the person drinking it.
Katalina and Rackam have been trapped in a nightmare through the power of the primal beast Oneiros.
To save them, (Captain) and the crew use Phoebe's magic to travel to the Gallery of Dreams.
Vyrn: Hmm... This Gallery of Dreams place is pretty strange.
Morphe: There's no up or down, left or right, so it's not easy to reach the places you can see.
Phoebe: Heehee... There may not be an up or down, but there are pitfalls. I bet they make you fall out of the ceiling.
Lyria: Yeah, this place really is strange. We'll end up lost at this rate.
Vyrn: Whew, I'm beat... Feels like we're just going round and round in circles.
Phoebe: We don't have physical bodies in this world, so just thinking about being tired wears you out.
Phoebe: Heehee. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Both and neither.
Vyrn: Huh? So if I think about not being tired, I'll stop being tired?
Morphe: Once you start thinking you're tired, I don't think it's that easy to think yourself full of energy again, Vyrn.
Vyrn: But we need to hurry up and rescue Katalina and Rackam, right?
Phoebe: Heehee... The flow of time here is different from the real world.
Phoebe: If you hurry, you'll be late, and if you take it easy, time will pass in a flash. Are you the hare or the tortoise?
Morphe: Let's take a quick break. We can look for the doors when we're feeling better. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
(Captain) and the crew hide from the nightmare fragments, and take a break beneath the shadow of a large door.
Lyria: Um, it doesn't seem like Katalina and Rackam are behind this door...
Phoebe: Ahh, this is more like it. Wake me up later!
Morphe: Hey, Phoebe! Don't lean against the door like that. What if it opens?
Vyrn: Geez, what a place to go to sleep...
Wait, can you sleep inside a dream?
Phoebe: I wonder what will happen.
Vyrn: H-hey, wait a minute! If you don't know what's going to happen, you shouldn't be going to sleep!
Morphe: Phoebe, stop teasing Vyrn! And don't fall asleep!
Phoebe: Pooie...
Morphe: I'm sorry, everyone. She's always like this.
Lyria: Heehee, you don't need to apologize.
Phoebe, sleeping is a no-no, but we can take it easy for a while!
Phoebe: Yawn... Okay then, Morphe, how about some tea?
Morphe: Tea? If this were the real world then sure, but we don't have anything to make it with.
Phoebe: If thinking about being tired makes you tired, then surely thinking about tea... gives you tea, right?
Morphe: Huh, really? Is that how it works?
Phoebe: That's right, that's right! Let's give it a try.
Morphe: Let's see. For some herbal tea, you need a teapot... Huh? Hey, there's one!
Phoebe: All right, let's set this teapot down here.
Lyria: Wow, Phoebe, you're amazing! Where did that come from?
Phoebe: Heehee, that's a trade secret. It's full of hot water, too.
As Phoebe speaks, Morphe begins handing teacups to the crew.
Morphe: Here you go, everyone. Enjoy!
Lyria: Thank you! Ooh, it smells good.
Vyrn: This looks great! Gulp...
Well, it sure goes down easy! You've got yourself a fan!
Lyria: Heehee, it's lovely and sweet!
But wait, I thought this didn't have sugar...
Vyrn: Huh? Mine's not sweet. How did we get different flavors from the same pot?
Morphe: (Captain), how is your tea? Huh? Just like the herbal tea you had the other day?
Morphe: That tea was to help you sleep better, but this is supposed to wake you up. They're supposed to taste different...
Lyria: So everyone's tea tastes different?
As (Captain) and the crew stare at each other, Phoebe smiles to herself as she drinks.
Phoebe: Thoughts and memories, likes and dislikes... Everyone is different.
Phoebe: This tea is part of our dreams, and dreams come from our memories.
Morphe: I get it! I made the tea for you when Phoebe did the reading, and you're remembering it now, (Captain).
Vyrn: My tea tastes just like the stuff that old lady served in Zinkenstill.
Lyria: I see! Even though we're all drinking the same tea we each remember a different flavor. How strange.
(Captain) and the crew enjoy their brief respite as they discuss the tea.
Vyrn: All right, let's get back to searching for those doors!
Lyria: Yeah, let's get going. Morphe, thank you for the tea!
Morphe: You're welcome! When we get out of here, I'll make you the real thing.
Lyria: Heehee. We can invite Katalina and Rackam and all enjoy it together!
(Captain) smiles and nods at Lyria's suggestion, then walks off in search of the doors that will lead the crew to Katalina and Rackam's dreams.
The crew soon catches up with (Captain), but Phoebe alone stands there staring at them.
Phoebe: ...
Lyria: What's wrong, Phoebe? Let's go find those doors!
Phoebe: ...
Morphe: Phoebe? What's up, are you tired?
Phoebe: ...
No. Let's get going...
Phoebe rejoins the crew after a short dash.
(Captain) and the crew continue their search for the doors, unaware of the darkness lurking in Phoebe's eyes.
May You Find Happiness
(Captain) and crew visit an island for a courier job. With the job safely done, Phoebe asks the crew to go with her to a certain place, but won't let Morphe explain where.
(Captain) and the crew visit an island for a courier job.
With their cargo delivered safely, the crew is taking a break when Phoebe and Morphe appear.
Morphe: Say, (Captain), are you busy? We wanted to ask a favor...
Vyrn: A favor? Sure, what did you have in mind?
Morphe: Oh, well, it's not so much me as my sister. Come on, Phoebe, tell them.
Phoebe: Um, well, there's somewhere I want to go, and I was wondering if you would come with me.
Vyrn: Hmm... Well, we're happy to travel with you, but where is it you want to go?
Phoebe: Um, it's over there...
Morphe: You want to cross the mountains, right, Phoebe?
Phoebe: Yeah. (Captain), Lyria, Vyrn... will you come with me?
Lyria: Of course, we'd be happy to! What do you want to do there?
Morphe: Well, Phoebe wants—
Phoebe: !
Just as Morphe excitedly begins to explain, Phoebe claps a hand over his mouth in a panic.
Morphe: Mph!
Meebe, 'ot are oo doinph?
Phoebe: Be quiet!
Morphe: Huh?
Phoebe: Let's go, everyone.
Phoebe grabs (Captain) and Lyria by the hand and runs off. The crew leaves the airship in pursuit.
May You Find Happiness: Scene 2
Phoebe arrives at her desired destination and begins crying without warning. That night, Morphe leads the crew into the Gallery of Dreams, where they attempt to rescue Phoebe from nightmare fragments.
Led by Phoebe, (Captain) and the crew make their way along the mountain path.
Phoebe: Oh! It's just beyond here...
Lyria: Phoebe, wait up!
(Captain) and the crew follow Phoebe into a thicket.
Beyond the thicket lies a path through the mountains. Not much further from it is a village.
Phoebe: Huh?
Vyrn: A village, huh? Do you have something you need to do here?
Phoebe: I-I don't understand... This can't be...
Lyria: What's wrong, Phoebe? Isn't this where you wanted to go?
Phoebe: No, no it wasn't. It wasn't supposed to be like this... Sob...
Vyrn: Whoa! Hey, what's wrong? There's no need to cry!
Morphe: Breathe, Phoebe, breathe... Everyone's getting worried.
Phoebe: Sniff... Sob...
(Captain) and the crew look at Phoebe, and then at one another before deciding to head toward the village for now.
They decide to stop for the day and stay in the village.
Vyrn: What was up with Phoebe? It doesn't seem like she wants to be here...
Lyria: Yeah, I'd like to know what made her so sad, but I can't bring myself to ask...
Although worried about Phoebe, (Captain) and the crew retire to their beds for the night.
Morphe: Um, hello everyone! I'm sorry to disturb you so late at night, but I need your help with something.
Lyria: Morphe, what's wrong?
Morphe: Phoebe has run into a little trouble in the Gallery of Dreams...
Morphe: I know you probably don't want to go back there, but would you come with me?
Vyrn: Of course! If there's any way we can help, we'll do it! Right, (Captain)?
Morphe: (Captain), thank you so much!
(Captain) and the crew lie back down, and Morphe guides them to the Gallery of Dreams.
Nightmare Fragment: !
Phoebe: Eek! Ow! That hurts! Stop it!
Nightmare Fragment: !
Phoebe: I said stop it! Ow! Cut it out...
When (Captain) and the crew wake in the Hall of Dreams, they see Phoebe being menaced by nightmare fragments.
Lyria: Oh no! The nightmare fragments are attacking Phoebe!
Vyrn: How did that happen? I thought they were supposed to be her servants!
Morphe: Her servants are from other people's dreams that leak out of the Gallery's doors.
Morphe: These nightmare fragments are from Phoebe's own dreams.
Morphe: (Captain), please! You have to help her!
Lyria: Of course! Come on, (Captain), we have to hurry!
May You Find Happiness: Scene 3
Phoebe explains that the village was once the site of a beautiful flower garden. The next morning, Lyria invites her on a stroll to get her spirits up, and tells her they'll create lots of wonderful memories as they continue forward.
Phoebe: Sob...
Lyria: Are you okay, Phoebe? Oh no, look at those injuries...
Phoebe: Sniff... You all came... to save me?
Lyria: That's right! Morphe gathered us.
Phoebe: Morphe, how could you!
Vyrn: Hey, don't be like that! Morphe was just worried about you.
Phoebe: It's fine. This is my punishment for the mistakes I've made!
Lyria: P-punishment? Phoebe, what do you mean?
Phoebe: ...
Morphe: Come on, you have to tell them. They can't read minds.
Morphe: You know we have to do this. They have to know everything.
Phoebe: ...
Phoebe: I... I wanted to take you all to a flower garden.
Phoebe: I first saw it a long time ago... It made me so happy.
Phoebe: When we came here, I remembered that this is the same island where I saw it.
Phoebe: So I wanted to take you all there... Then you could feel the same happiness I did, but... but...
Morphe: It's been a long time since my sister has seen the flower garden.
Morphe: We never imagined it would be gone, with a village in its place.
Lyria: I see... So that's why you were so upset, isn't it, Phoebe?
Phoebe: We came all this way into the mountains, but it was all for nothing...
Vyrn: H-hey, come on... It's no big deal. Cheer up, okay?
(Captain) and the crew comfort Phoebe as she cries.
Lyria: (At this rate, she'll never cheer up.)
Lyria: (Oh! I know!)
Morphe: Everyone, thank you for helping us. I'm sorry we dragged you through all this.
Morphe: But I'm glad Phoebe managed to explain everything.
Morphe guides (Captain) and the crew back to the real world.
Phoebe: Huff...
Morphe: Hey, Phoebe, are you awake? Oh, your eyes look all red.
Phoebe: Everyone will be worried if they see me like this... I think I'm going to spend the day in bed.
Morphe: That'll just make things worse...
Morphe: Come in!
Oh, good morning, Lyria!
Lyria: Heehee, morning! Morphe, Phoebe, would you like to come for a walk?
Phoebe: A walk?
Lyria: Yeah! The weather is lovely, and it's our first time in this village, after all.
Morphe: Good idea! Are you coming, Phoebe?
Phoebe: Sure.
Phoebe and Morphe set off on their walk with (Captain), Vyrn, and Lyria.
Lyria: Oh, look! There's an herbalist over there.
Vyrn: Heh, that sounds right up Morphe's alley. Let's take a look!
Morphe: Ah, wait up, Vyrn!
(Captain) and the crew peer into the herbalist's shop.
Morphe: Wow, look at all these herbs! Were they picked in the forest, or did they grow them here?
Morphe: This one acts as a pain killer, and this one helps with fevers... Hm, I wonder how much they are.
Vyrn: Heh, Morphe is in a world of his own. He really likes his herbal teas!
Phoebe: Not just that. Lately he's been studying from a book about medicinal plants.
Phoebe: He might have been part of me once, but little by little, he's becoming his own person.
Vyrn: Really? That's great! I'm glad to hear it.
Phoebe: It does make me a little sad though...
Lyria: Wow, Phoebe, look! This teapot is so cute!
Phoebe: It is! If I had this for making tea... Oh, but it's really expensive.
Lyria: Eek! Y-you're right! And just imagine if it broke...
Phoebe: ...
Phoebe gently takes the teapot in her hands.
Lyria: Phoebe, please, put it back! My heart is pounding just watching you!
Phoebe: Hee... Heehee... Okay, I'll put it back.
Lyria: Heehee, you're finally smiling again!
Phoebe: Huh?
Lyria: Yeah, you were so worried about the garden...
Lyria: And it's really a shame, but I don't want you to feel bad about it.
Phoebe: !
Lyria: We'll have plenty of chances to make fun, happy memories from here on out. Just like we did today.
Lyria: Right? So cheer up, okay?
Phoebe: !
Vyrn: Huh? What's wrong now? You're crying again!
Phoebe: I-I'm not! These are just yawn tears!
Morphe: Come on, Phoebe. I told you to be honest, didn't I? Those are tears of joy.
Phoebe: Wha— No, be quiet!
Morphe: Hey! Ow, quit it!
As Phoebe chases the fleeing Morphe, she smiles once again.
After walking in solitude for so long, the primal beast has finally found somewhere to call home.
