Always and Forever

When (Captain) and company learn that the exorcism spell is causing Ferry to fade away, they return to the ruins, where they find a magic tool possessing Celeste's power. However, they are attacked by the original owner's vengeful spirit, and Ferry is buried in rubble after protecting (Captain).


Several days have passed since (Captain) and the crew completed their zombie-hunting request.
Sensing that Ferry seems unwell somehow, a concerned Lyria makes her a cup of herbal tea with some leaves she bought in town.
Lyria: Here you go, Ferry! This tea is supposed to relax and invigorate the mind and body.
Ferry: Wow, really? Well, it certainly smells good. Thanks, Lyria.
Ferry: Whoa!
Lyria: Are you okay? You didn't cut yourself, did you?
Ferry: No, I'm fine. I must have spaced out a little...
Ferry: Oh—wait, Lyria! There's broken glass everywhere, so you'd better not come too close. I'll go grab a dustpan.
Finding a dustpan in the corner of the room, Ferry quickly sweeps up the shards of glass scattered across the floor.
Ferry: Sorry, Lyria. You went to all the trouble of making me tea, and I ended up wasting it...
Lyria: No, don't worry about it! I'm just glad you're not hurt.
Vyrn: Is it just me, or have you been droppin' stuff a lot lately?
Vyrn: And it feels like I can see through you more than before... C'mon, be straight with us. You're not in good shape, are ya?
Ferry: That's not true...
Actually, no, it is. You're right, Vyrn.
Though her first instinct is to deny Vyrn's words, after thinking through it, Ferry drops the facade and furrows her brow.
Ferry: But I wouldn't exactly say I'm sick or anything. It's more that my body just feels... strange.
Ferry: My senses of touch and temperature seem dulled, like I've gone numb all over...
Ferry: It's like my very existence is fading away little by little.
Vyrn: What! That sounds pretty serious! What the heck brought all that on?
Realizing that the situation is far worse than they had imagined, (Captain) and the crew begin to panic.
In contrast, Ferry's expression remains cool and collected as she continues.
Ferry: Remember when we were on that zombie-hunting mission and a trap suddenly went off?
Lyria: You mean the magic circle that was in the ruins, right?
Ferry: Yeah. Evidently I failed to completely avoid the light it emitted, and that's why I ended up in this mess.
Feeling anxious about the growing disconnect with her own body, Ferry had spoken with crew members knowledgeable about magic.
Through her investigation she learned that the magic circle had unleashed an exorcism spell, and that the magic was affecting her as well.
Ferry: Ordinarily, an exorcism spell is powerful enough to make ghosts or zombies disappear simply by coming into contact with them.
Ferry: But since I'm not a typical ghost, the magic seems to be working in an odd way.
Ferry: From what I can gather, it's slowly chipping away at my existence... like a curse.
Vyrn: A curse?
Ferry: That's right. If the magic keeps affecting me like this, eventually I might just, well...
Ferry trails off and looks at the floor, unable to speak of a future in which she might cease to exist. (Captain) and the crew gasp.
Lyria: No! I don't want you to disappear!
Lyria: There must be a way to fix this! If we all put our heads together, I know we'll figure something out!
Lyria: So please don't give up hope!
Lyria grasps both of Ferry's hands tightly, desperately attempting to persuade her. Ferry slowly raises her gaze.
Ferry: Lyria...
Vyrn: Yeah! It's not like you're one hundred percent gonna disappear yet, so let's all do our part to find a way outta this!
Ferry: ...
You're right. I have no intention of vanishing without a fight.
Ferry: There are still a lot of things I want to do and see before I pass on. For that, I need your help.
(Captain) and the crew nod emphatically in response to her request.
But despite their best efforts, they are unable to find a solution, and Ferry's condition continues to worsen.
Ferry: Oh... Haha... This is getting bad...
Beppo: ...?
Ferry: I can't touch anything... Doors, chairs—my hand just slips right through...
After a few days, Ferry finally becomes a bona fide ghost, unable to touch anyone or anything.
The crew is at a loss for what to do, until their hope is rekindled following a visit to their previous client on a new mission.
Vyrn: Never thought we'd be seein' this place again.
Together with Ferry, (Captain) and the crew arrive at the manor ruins once more.
Lyria: According to the client, there were documents related to zombies and ghosts left here in the ruins, right?
Ferry: Yeah. Apparently the owner of this place had a keen interest in things like that.
Ferry: But he lived here a long time ago, so it's hard to say how many of those documents might have survived.
They had been fortunate to obtain information on the lord of the manor from the client who had issued the original zombie-hunting request.
He had been intrigued by Ferry upon seeing that her form had faded considerably since their last meeting.
Upon learning about the situation from (Captain), he had told them everything he knew in hopes that it might prove useful.
Ferry: I think we took out most of the zombies last time, but there might still be some wandering around.
Ferry: So be careful, guys.
Vyrn: Got it! C'mon, let's get explorin'!
Thus (Captain) and the crew venture deeper into the ruins in search of materials left behind by the manor's original owner.
Eventually they come upon a somewhat large room that they had overlooked during their previous visit.
Lyria: Is this... a study?
Vyrn: Looks like it.
Cough, cough... The books are all covered in dust.
Ferry: They're in better condition than I expected. Hmm, this book's about... immortality? And this one talks about... raising the dead?
Ferry: Seems like the owner had some pretty... radical ideas, to say the least.
As they continue hunting through the dust-covered tomes, (Captain) comes across a notebook.
  1. Hey, look at this.


Choose: Hey, look at this.

Ferry: Is that a journal? Do you think it belonged to the owner of this place?
Vyrn: Ooh, nice find! What's it say?
Flipping through the pages, they find records of the manor lord's unhealthy obsession with death, as well as the cruel experiments he performed.
Ferry: This is awful. He even desecrated the dead for the sake of his research.
Lyria: So that's where all those zombies came from...
Vyrn: Huh? Hey, doesn't this stuff about "magic tools" seem familiar?
Ferry: Let's see here... "Magic tools are various items that have been imbued with the power of mighty beings."
Ferry: "Among them, those that have drawn in a portion of a primal beast's power are especially strong."
Ferry: And look at the primal beast pictured here! Isn't this Celeste?
Vyrn: Right? The description makes me think it's gotta be talkin' about Celeste too.
Ferry: "The tool I obtained recently is said to possess the power of a death-snatching primal beast. I don't know if it's authentic or not, but it's worth testing."
Ferry: "If I engrave it with a magic circle and activate the spell by allowing the primal beast's power to flow into it..."
Ferry: "It should be possible to transform any living creature into an immortal being that can neither die nor disappear."
Ferry: A death-snatching primal beast... Then this really must be about Celeste.
Lyria: But do magic tools with the power of primal beasts really exist?
Ferry: Good question. There doesn't seem to be any information about what he found out.
Vyrn: If he really got his hands on a tool related to Celeste, that could be pretty useful!
Vyrn: I mean, you became a ghost 'cause of Celeste, right? Don'tcha think it might be worth lookin' for?
Ferry: Maybe. There don't appear to be any other leads in here, so I guess we might as well try to find this "magic tool."
Nodding, (Captain) and the crew make their way into an underground storeroom mentioned in the journal.
Ferry: Hm? Could this be it?
After splitting up to scour the room for the magic tool, Ferry comes across a small box sitting near the back of a shelf.
Ferry: Hey, guys! Look at this!
Vyrn: What's up? Did you find the magic tool?
Ferry: A box that looks promising, at least. Could I ask you to grab the little container on the back of that shelf?
Ferry: I tried to get it myself, but my hand went right through it...
Vyrn: Oh, right. I forgot you can't touch anything...
Casting a worried glance at Ferry, (Captain) retrieves the small box as requested.
The captain opens it to find a glass orb the size of a person's palm that appears to be swirling with black mist.
Vyrn: So this is the magic tool with the power of a primal...
Can you feel anything, Lyria?
Lyria: Hmm... I think I sense a faint presence similar to Celeste's, but I could be wrong.
Ferry: I see...
Vyrn: What about you, Ferry? Gettin' any primal vibes from that thing?
Ferry: Well... I'm in the same boat as Lyria. Sometimes it's hard to tell if what I'm sensing is a primal beast or not.
Vyrn: In other words, this thing's just a big dud? And here I thought we'd finally found a useful clue...
Beppo & Momo: ...
Ferry: Beppo, Momo? What's wrong?
Beppo and Momo suddenly freeze, staring intently at a spot across the room, their hackles raised.
The next moment...
Vyrn: Wh-what's goin' on!
Black mist suddenly appears from a corner of the room and gradually begins to take form.
Manor Lord: ...
Manor Lord: Fools! You have trespassed upon my territory and defiled my creations!
Ferry: ...!
Manor Lord: You will pay for your insolence! This is my castle—my domain! Those who encroach upon my sanctuary will be punished!
Zombies: ...
Lyria: Th-there are so many zombies!
Vyrn: Argh! Guess we'll just have to take 'em all out!
Countless zombies appear one after another from within the dark mist, hurling themselves at (Captain).
Ferry: (Captain)!
Rushing toward the captain, Ferry swings her whip to halt their advance. However...
Ferry: Huh?
No matter how many times she strikes, the whip merely passes harmlessly through the zombies.
Ferry: (Oh no... My existence has become so faint that I can't even touch things now!)
Ferry: ...!
I'm counting on you guys! Protect (Captain) and the crew for me!
Pets: ...
Watching her pets obediently leap into the throng of zombies, Ferry quietly clicks her tongue, furious with herself.
Ferry: (I don't believe this! Everyone's in danger, and here I am just standing around!)
Ferry: Even if I can't directly attack the zombies, there has to be something I can do!
But to Ferry's dismay, no one—neither living nor dead—seems to even acknowledge her presence.
Ferry: (No matter what I say or do, there's no response. My existence must be on the verge of disappearing completely.)
She grits her teeth in frustration, able to do nothing but watch her friends struggling against the horde of zombies.
Ferry: ...?
What's that sound?
Hearing a strange noise, Ferry carefully scans the dimly lit room.
Just then, she perceives a subtle vibration together with a crumbling sound beneath her feet, and she gasps in realization.
Ferry: Oh no!
Ferry: Guys, we've got to run! Otherwise this room is going to collapse!
Ferry cries out frantically, but (Captain) and the crew make no indication that they can hear her.
Ferry: (What do I do! At this rate, everyone's going to be buried alive!)
Ferry: (I have to get (Captain) and the others out of here somehow!)
Manor Lord: Die! Fools who dare tread upon my sanctuary!
Ferry: ...!
The manor lord casts a number of spells that fly in every which direction, crashing loudly into the walls and ceiling.
Lyria: Eek!
Vyrn: Whoa! He just upped the ante!
Vyrn: Hey, (Captain)! Ferry! Let's get outta here!
Realizing that the room is on the brink of collapsing, Vyrn calls out to the crew, and they rush toward the door leading to the stairs.
Lyria: ...!
Look out!
The ceiling at last gives way, raining debris down on (Captain), who had been leading the retreat.
Ferry: (Captain)!
Ferry musters every bit of her remaining strength to shove the captain out of the way.
Ferry: (...!
Thank goodness! I somehow managed to touch (Captain)!)
  1. Ferry?


Choose: Ferry?

Feeling a push from behind, (Captain) turns around, but the spot where Ferry should have been standing is abruptly buried in rubble.
(Captain) and the crew manage to escape from the basement, and the shaking finally subsides.
Vyrn: Ferry? Hey, Ferry! Where are you!
Lyria: Ferry! Please say something!
Pets: ...
No matter how many times they call her name, there is no sign of Ferry anywhere.
All that remains before the stunned crew is a mountain of rubble and the faint sound of flowing water.

Always and Forever: Scene 2

Losing consciousness, Ferry dreams of her childhood, when a living Geegee, Fugee, and Nicola kept her company while her parents were busy with her newborn sister. Recalling that her pets had found her when she got lost in the forest looking for medicine for her sister, Ferry resolves to apologize to them for forgetting.


Ferry: (Huh? I hear someone crying...)
Ferry: (The voice is so familiar... but where do I know it from?)
Ferry's Mom: Oh dear. It looks like her fever is back...
Ferry's Dad: I just called the doctor. He'll be here soon, so hang in there a little longer, Firra.
Young Girl: ...
As the couple hover over their crying baby, a young girl stares at them from the doorway.
In her arms she holds a worn storybook.
Ferry: (Is that... me?)
Ferry: (Oh... I remember now. This is from when Firra was still little...)
After hesitating for a moment, the young Ferry steps into the room with an air of determination.
Young Ferry: Um... Daddy? Um...
Ferry's Dad: Sorry, Ferry. This will have to wait until later. Would you mind waiting outside for now?
Young Ferry: B-but... Today you promised...
Ferry's Mom: Sorry, dear. But you're a big sister now. You can be patient for us, can't you?
Young Ferry: ...
Okay.
Doing her best not to cry, Ferry nods solemnly and leaves the room.
Young Ferry: Mommy and Daddy are always busy with Firra.
Young Ferry: It's not like I asked to be a big sister...
Ever since Firra's birth, she had been the sole recipient of their parents' attention, and Ferry had played second fiddle.
Though she can't help but feel lonely, even at a young age, Ferry understands that it's wrong to feel resentment toward her sister.
Young Ferry: ...
Hastily wiping away the tears as though hoping to dispel her sadness along with them, Ferry slips outside, still grasping the storybook tightly.
Young Ferry: Whew. Are you guys there?
Ferry leaves the house and dashes into the forest alone, glancing around in every direction.
Slender Rabbit: ...
Young Ferry: Geegee!
Suddenly, a rabbit comes hopping out of a nearby bush and leaps toward Ferry.
The moment she catches the small creature in her arms, it gleefully nuzzles its head against her cheek.
Geegee: ...
Young Ferry: Ahaha, that tickles. Patty-pat...
Two-Horn Monster: ...!
One-Horn Monster: ...!
As Ferry is thoroughly enjoying the rabbit's fluffy cuddles, two monsters emerge from the depths of the forest.
Young Ferry: Fugee, Nicola! You're here too? Hello!
Young Ferry: Ehehe. You're always so warm, Fugee.
Fugee: ...!
Young Ferry: I brought that picture book you like today, Nicola. Wanna read it together?
Nicola: ...!
Fugee: ...!
Geegee: ...
Young Ferry: Yeah, you two can read it with us! Come sit over here, everybody!
Ferry pats the ground beside her, and Geegee, Fugee, and Nicola obediently nestle close.
Young Ferry: Once upon a time, there was a sick mother and her little boy living in a forest.
Young Ferry: One day, the boy learned about a magic herb from the fairy of a fountain.
Young Ferry: In order to make his mother feel better, he went into the forest to search for it.
Huddled together with her little forest friends, Ferry reads them the picture book she had brought with her.
Ferry: (Ah, it's all coming back to me. Back then, my parents were always preoccupied with Firra, and I was all alone.)
Ferry: (But these little ones I met in the forest became my friends and helped relieve my loneliness.)
Listening to the sound of her own laughter from when she was a child, she thinks back on fond memories once forgotten.
Her surroundings gradually become darker and darker until finally everything turns to black.
The next moment, a new scene appears before Ferry's eyes. In it, her mother stands sobbing over a cradle, supported by her father.
Rain lashes against the windows as thunder rumbles outside, joined by the sound of her mother's despairing wails.
Ferry's Mom: Why is this happening! She was only just born. This is too cruel!
Young Ferry: Daddy... Is Firra going to die?
Ferry's Dad: Of course not. Firra's fighting against the disease as best she can.
Ferry's Dad: That's why... I'm sure she'll be fine. We need to stay positive, for your mother's sake as well.
Ferry's Mom: But... But...
Ferry's Dad: She's always pulled through thus far. So she'll be all right this time too. Let's have faith.
Young Ferry: ...
Upon witnessing her parents' grief, Ferry understands that her little sister is at death's door.
Without a word to her grieving parents, she quietly exits the room, clutching her small hands to her chest.
Young Ferry: No... I don't want Firra to die...
Blinking away her tears, she desperately tries to think of a way to save her sister.
After a moment, her head snaps up with a gasp.
Young Ferry: I know! I'll find a magic herb like in my storybook!
Young Ferry: If I had one of those, I could make Firra all better!
Unable to contain her excitement at the idea, Ferry heads into the woods alone.
Young Ferry: Magic herb, magic herb... Where are you?
Cold rain pouring down around her, Ferry plunges through the dimly lit forest in pursuit of the medicinal herb.
Young Ferry: Eep!
Her nerves getting the best of her, a sudden rustling sound causes her to jump.
Young Ferry: Urgh... I'm Firra's big sister, so I have to do my best to help her!
Forcing herself to press forward despite her uneasiness at not having her usual forest friends by her side, she continues her search.
But no matter how hard she looks, she is unable to find the fairy-tale herb.
Young Ferry: Huh? Where am I?
Eventually Ferry finds herself lost deep in the forest.
Young Ferry: Sniffle... Mommy, Daddy... I'm scared...
Realizing that she is all alone in a strange place, the fear she had managed to keep at bay suddenly comes crashing down.
Though she tries to retrace her steps, the scenery around her looks the same no matter how far she walks. Finally she crouches down, feeling defeated.
Young Ferry: Eep!
At that moment, the bushes beside her shake, and two shadows come flying out.
Eyes squeezed shut, Ferry feels a warm touch joined by a soft breeze caressing her cheek.
Young Ferry: ...?
Fugee & Nicola: ...
Young Ferry: Fugee, Nicola! You scared me...
Fugee: ...?
Fugee zooms around, tilting her head quizzically as if to ask why Ferry is there.
Suddenly remembering her original goal, Ferry launches into an explanation.
Young Ferry: Listen, I came here to find a magic herb.
Young Ferry: You know, like the one in that book we read together the other day.
Young Ferry: My little sister Firra is really sick.
Young Ferry: Fugee, Nicola, do you know where to find one?
The two little monsters look at each other before gesturing into the forest as though indicating the way.
Young Ferry: You do? Please show me where it is!
Fugee: ...
Young Ferry: That way? Got it!
As Ferry takes a step forward to follow after Fugee's floating form...
Young Ferry: Eep!
Nicola: ...!
She loses her footing and tumbles down the slope.
Young Ferry: Urgh...
How much time had passed since she fell?
Awakened by the cold, Ferry strains to pull herself up but collapses to the ground.
The pain that shoots through her body is enough to cause her to burst into tears.
Young Ferry: Ow... It hurts...
Sniffle... Sob...
Fugee: ...
Nicola: ...
Young Ferry: Fugee, Nicola... It really hurts...
Young Ferry: Mommy, Daddy...
Sniffle...
Young Ferry: I'm so cold... It hurts... I wanna go home...
Fugee & Nicola: ...
Watching with concerned expressions as Ferry sobs uncontrollably, Fugee and Nicola snuggle close to her, seemingly unsure of what to do.
With no one around to respond to her cries, her voice gradually becomes quieter and quieter.
Young Ferry: (Am I... going to die?)
Young Ferry: (I didn't know dying was so sad, cold, and scary...)
Young Ferry: (I wonder if Firra's been scared all this time too?)
Young Ferry: (Maybe that's why Mommy and Daddy were so worried about her...)
Young Ferry: I'm sorry, Firra... I couldn't find a magic herb... to save you...
Ferry mumbles despairingly as she closes her eyes, her consciousness slowly fading away.
???: Woof!
Young Ferry: ...?
Suddenly, Ferry feels a warm nudge on her cheek, and she opens her eyes to see the face of a strange dog with a slender build.
Seeing the worried face of a familiar rabbit peeking out from behind it, Ferry blinks in bewilderment.
Geegee: ...
Slender Dog: Woof, woof!
???: This way?
Ferry! Answer if you can hear me!
Young Ferry: Daddy?
Slender Dog: Woof! Woof, woof!
Ferry's Dad: ...!
Oh, how could this have happened! But don't worry, everything's all right now.
Young Ferry: Daddy...
Ferry's Dad: That's right, Daddy's here. Look at you, covered in injuries...
Ferry's Dad: Come on, I'll get you straight to the doctor. But I'm so glad I wasn't too late!
Slender Dog: Woof, woof, woof!
Ferry's Dad: It's all thanks to you guys. Thank you for finding my daughter.
Slender Dog: Woof!
Ferry's Dad: Yes, we'd better bring her somewhere warmer as soon as possible.
Hearing her father's voice, Ferry finally slips out of consciousness, comforted by the warmth of the arms wrapped tightly around her.
A few days later...
Slender Dog: Woof, woof!
Having made a full recovery, Ferry emerges from the front of the clinic, where she is greeted by the slender dog and Geegee.
Young Ferry: You're that doggy!
Geegee: ...
Young Ferry: Geegee! Did you two come here together?
Young Ferry: Is this doggy your friend? Hehe, he's so cute!
At the sight of Ferry frolicking happily with her animal friends, her father smiles.
Ferry's Dad: They're the ones who found you, you know.
Ferry's Dad: When I realized you were gone and rushed out of the house, they led me to the forest.
Young Ferry: Really? Ehehe, thanks!
Slender Dog: Woof!
Geegee: ...
Ferry's Dad: Are they friends of yours?
Young Ferry: Uh-huh! It's my first time meeting the doggy, but Geegee's my friend!
Young Ferry: And I have two more friends named Fugee and Nicola!
Young Ferry: Actually... Hey, Daddy! Is it okay if I go see them too?
Ferry's Dad: Huh? But your injuries have only just healed. Do they live in the forest as well?
Young Ferry: Yup! Fugee has two horns, and Nicola has one!
Young Ferry: They stayed with me the whole time I was in the woods, so I wanna say thank you.
Ferry's Dad: Well now... What to do, what to do...
Ferry's Dad: I heard there were going to be skyfarers hunting monsters in the woods today, so I wouldn't want her to get too close to them...
Young Ferry: Pretty please?
Ferry's Dad: Oh, all right. Then I'll come with you.
Ferry's Dad: But we're heading back right after we thank them, understood? You can play with them when you're better. Can you promise me that?
Young Ferry: Okay! I promise!
Nodding vigorously, Ferry heads into the forest with her father to visit her friends.
Young Ferry: Fugee, Nicola? Where are you?
Accustomed to the two little monsters flying right up to her, Ferry looks around in confusion.
Young Ferry: That's weird. They usually come right away...
Ferry's Dad: Maybe they're spending a quiet day at home today too.
Ferry's Dad: The wind's getting colder, so why don't we come back and see them another time?
Young Ferry: Okay...
Ferry nods—albeit a bit grudgingly—as she continues to glance around for any sign of her flying friends.
Young Ferry: Nicola?
Just as she turns to leave the forest with her father, the sound of a gunshot followed by a high-pitched squeak sends her running.
Ferry's Dad: ...!
No, come back!
Young Ferry: Fugee! Nicola! Where are you?
Ferry races through the trees frantically calling for her friends, a surge of unspeakable panic gripping her chest.
Stumbling her way to the location where the sound had come from, she falls speechless in shock.
Young Ferry: Wait... What? Fugee? Nicola?
There before her are two skyfarers carrying guns.
And crumpled at their feet...
Ferry: (Ah, I remember now. Fugee and Nicola were... monsters.)
Ferry: (The village had recently been victim of a monster attack, so the adults hired skyfarers to clear the forest.)
Ferry: (That's when Fugee and Nicola were killed... and I saw it happen.)
Ferry: (They were still young, but monsters are monsters. The skyfarers were just doing their job.)
Ferry: (But I was so small, I couldn't understand. The pain and grief was too much to bear... and I ended up forgetting everything.)
Ferry: (And Geegee... She was always by my side, but one day she just disappeared. Thinking back, she must have reached the end of her life span.)
Ferry: (They were all my precious friends. My little playmates who were always there for me when I was lonely.)
Ferry: (I wonder if they knew all along... if they remembered me from way back when...)
Ferry: When I get back, I'll make sure to apologize. I need to tell them how sorry I am for forgetting them...
As Ferry mutters these words, her thoughts are suddenly interrupted by the sensation of her consciousness rising from the depths of nothingness.

Always and Forever: Scene 3

Awakening to find herself on the verge of disappearing, Ferry laments not being able to say goodbye to the crew and her pets, when suddenly she hears them calling out to her. After being saved thanks to the magic tool, Ferry smiles at her beloved pets who remain by her side even after death.


Ferry: Ungh...
The sound of rushing water pulls Ferry out of her unconscious state.
Ferry: Where am I? What was I doing?
She opens her eyes to find herself in an unfamiliar dark cave.
Ferry: (Oh, right. I came back to the ruins with the crew, and we were attacked by the owner of the manor...)
Ferry: (Captain)! Lyria, Vyrn! What happened to them!
As the memories come flooding back, Ferry instinctively tries to sit up. However...
Ferry: ...!
Ferry: Wait... I'm see-through? My hands, my body... Every bit of me...
She suddenly realizes that she is unable to sense the coolness or touch of the water flowing beneath her.
Feeling trapped, as though her consciousness has been completely cut off from her body, Ferry smiles grimly, her lips quivering.
Ferry: Haha... I see. So... this is where it ends...
Ferry: ...
Ferry: Time really is a fleeting thing. I've lived for so long, and then suddenly it's all just... over.
Ferry: Actually, I guess my... unique circumstances led to this underwhelming finale. It's pointless to think too hard about it.
Ferry: But... the thought that this is finally the end makes me a little emotional.
Ferry: I made them wait for so long, but now I can finally see Mom, Dad, and Firra again.
Ferry: So... yeah. It's not all bad.
Ferry: (My life should have ended long ago.)
Ferry: (It was only a matter of time. Death comes for all living things eventually.)
Ferry heaves a deep sigh as though resigning herself to her fate, but her breath catches in her throat at the figures that suddenly pop into her mind.
Ferry: But at the same time... disappearing without being able to say goodbye is... pretty lonely...
Ferry: (Captain)... Lyria... Vyrn...
Ferry: Beppo, Geegee, Fugee, Nicola, Momo...
Ferry: I hope you'll remember me even after I'm gone...
Ferry: No, that doesn't even begin to cover it. There are so many things I want to tell you all before I disappear...
Ferry: I can't believe I'm going to vanish in a place like this, all alone...
The more she thinks about it, the more her lingering regrets seem to press on her heart.
But in contrast to her whirling mind, her body continues to fade gradually, and her consciousness along with it.
Ferry: ...
I feel... so sleepy...
Ferry: I wish I could have seen you all... one last time...
Unable to hold her heavy eyelids open any longer, Ferry slowly closes her eyes.
???: Rawr!
Ferry: (Is that... Momo's voice?)
Vyrn: ...!
Momo! Is Ferry over there?
Momo: Rawr! Rawr!
Lyria: Hold on, Ferry! We're coming to save you now!
  1. Stay with us, Ferry!


Choose: Stay with us, Ferry!

Ferry: (I hear... everyone's voices. Am I... dreaming?)
Ferry: (What a blissful dream... Even if they can't see me, it's enough just to have them by my side...)
Hearing familiar voices desperately calling her name, her consciousness surfaces once more.
With her eyelids still too heavy to open, she listens vacantly, all the while drifting between dream and reality.
Vyrn: How's it lookin', Lyria? Ready to do this?
Lyria: Yeah! I'm not sure if I'll be able to pull it off, but I'll give it a try!
Following this conversation, Ferry feels her consciousness slowly becoming clearer.
Suddenly feeling the chill and pain of the water around her, she lets out a faint groan.
Lyria: ...!
Ferry! Thank goodness!
Ferry: Lyria? And (Captain), Vyrn... and everyone else... Why are you here?
Seeing her friends peering at her with concern, she tries to sit up, but a wave of dizziness causes her to collapse.
But in place of the sensation of cold, hard rock that she had anticipated, she feels the warmth of another—something she had not felt for quite some time.
Ferry: Huh?
Lyria: Now that we've found Ferry, why don't we move to a place where she can rest?
Vyrn: Y-yeah, good idea! She looks pretty weak, and we oughta get those injuries treated...
  1. Hop on.


Choose: Hop on.

Ferry: Huh? O-okay...
Confused by the sudden, seemingly impossible invitation, Ferry lowers her gaze in thought.
After a short pause, she touches the captain's back, blinking in surprise at the warmth that spreads through her palm.
Ferry: I can touch (Captain)...
Ferry: So that feeling earlier wasn't just my imagination...
  1. Ferry?


Choose: Ferry?

Ferry: Oh, no... It's nothing. I'm sorry to make you carry me like this.
Allowing herself to be picked up, Ferry leans against (Captain)'s back, sighing contentedly at the comforting sensation.
Vyrn: All right, let's get movin'!
Momo, Beppo, we're countin' on you guys to lead the way!
Momo: Rawr!
Beppo: ...
With Ferry safely rescued, (Captain) and the crew follow Momo and Beppo out of the cave.
After returning to the Grandcypher, Ferry is given prompt treatment and sent to recuperate in her room.
Vyrn: Boy, I'm sure glad your injuries weren't serious. And you're not fadin' away anymore, so I guess there's nothin' else to worry about!
Ferry: It's all thanks to you guys. But how did you even know where to find me?
Ferry: What in the skies happened after the room collapsed?
Lyria: Well, we went back to the basement to look for you.
Lyria: But all that was left was a giant hole in the ground, and you were nowhere to be found...
While (Captain) and the crew had been staring down into the gaping pit, racking their brains for what to do, Geegee had managed to find a map of the area.
Learning from it that there was a cave beneath the ruins, they had made their way toward the entrance straightaway.
Vyrn: The cave was a lot more of a maze than we expected. We couldn't find you anywhere...
Ferry: Oh, I was close to vanishing completely at that point, so you probably wouldn't have noticed me even if we were right next to each other.
Lyria: But thanks to your pets, we were able to find you!
Lyria: They took off running all of a sudden and gathered around an empty area...
Vyrn: When we squinted reeeally hard, we could barely see you lyin' on the ground.
Vyrn: Without them around to help, we might've never tracked you down.
Lyria: After that, I borrowed Celeste's power and used that magic tool to break the spell on you.
Lyria: I wasn't sure if it would work, but I'm so, so glad it did.
Ferry: So that's what happened...
Ferry: (Captain), Vyrn, Lyria. Thank you so much for saving me.
Ferry: And Beppo, Geegee, Fugee, Nicola, Momo... That goes for you all too.
Pets: ...
Ferry: If it hadn't been for you guys, no one would have found me, and I would have disappeared right then and there.
Ferry: To be honest, I had already accepted that my long life was about to come to an end.
Ferry: But... thanks to you guys, I'm still here.
Beppo & Geegee: ...
Fugee & Nicola: ...
Ferry: I finally remembered everything.
Ferry: Years ago, you all found me when I was on the verge of death, just like you did today.
As Ferry reaches out toward her pets, she thinks back on the memories she had seen during those moments of fading consciousness.
Watching the ghostly creatures cuddling up against her outstretched hands, hot tears spill freely from her eyes.
Ferry: Thank you for finding me. For being by my side.
Ferry: And... I'm sorry. I forgot about you guys for so long.
Ferry: How could I do such a thing when you've been my dear friends all this time—since back when I was still alive?
Beppo & Geegee: ...
Fugee & Nicola: ...
As though assuring her not to worry about it, her pets lick the tears from her cheeks, nuzzling up against her head.
Ferry smiles softly at their sweet gesture.
Ferry: I know this is a lot to ask for someone who's forgotten you in the past, but would you be willing to stay with me from here on out?
Pets: ...!
From their response, it is clear that that had been their intent since the beginning.
Ferry: I'm happy to hear that. Hehe... Thanks, guys. Here's to many more memories and adventures together.
Embracing her beloved family members who had remained by her side even after death, Ferry beams brightly.
