Forking Paths Among the Stars

Head to the Greenhouse

Camellya: Aha, you're finally here.

Camellya: It's been a while, my sweet seed of fate.

Camellya: Are you here for the flowers? Perfect timing. They're about to bloom.

Camellya: Nah-uh, I just enjoy planting them.

Camellya: Watching them grow, waiting for them to bloom—you know, waiting makes the fruits so much sweeter.

Camellya: Of course, I have my own special seed.

Camellya: Every day, I'm consumed by the urge to see it thrive, trembling with excitement for its bloom, the soft touch of petals unfolding in my palm... This feeling… I can't wait to make it mine!

Camellya: Hehe, it's the best thing ever to watch and protect it as its breeder.

Camellya: Just a little fun of mine. Well, how's it going, Rover? Enjoying your time here?

Camellya: Hehe, I expected as much. You've shown great potential since you arrived in Jinzhou.

Camellya: Well... I'm a Bloom Bearer, and a Bloom Bearer knows what they want to know.

Camellya: Aww, you're a sharp one. Yes, I had something else going on, couldn't say hi to you first. What a pity.

Camellya: Didn't know the Shorekeeper would entrust a newcomer with such important tasks... She trusts you. A lot.

Camellya: You are…

Beatrice: Hey, Rover. It's Beatrice. Remember me from the Error Cell?

Beatrice: I hate to ask, but could you come back to the Error Cell?

Rover: What happened?

Beatrice: We've run into some trouble, and honestly, you're the only one the Shorekeeper trusts to handle it.

Beatrice: I'll explain everything when you get here.

Camellya: "Oh, congratulations, Mr. Popularity!" Whatever…

Camellya: If only you could be mine… I'd root you in my garden, where only I could savor your sweet, robust vitality… Hehe, just kidding. Hope you don't mind.

Camellya: …How strange.

Camellya: I've felt this way before…

Camellya: Hehe, interesting.

Head to the Error Cell

Beatrice: Rover, there you are! It's been a while, and you still look great.

Beatrice: Since you came to the Black Shores, so many unexpected things have happened… Even the Shorekeeper made an appearance.

Beatrice: Great, your memory is as sharp as ever.

Beatrice: Well, it's basically a "prison" for containing hazardous waste like corrupted Stellar Matrices.

Beatrice: The problem is, one of the "prisoners" has escaped.

Beatrice: It's headed towards the Necrostar and seems to be trying to go even deeper.

Beatrice: The Shorekeeper is tied up with modulation and can't leave.

Beatrice: The escapee is hiding, but we can use the remnants of its data to track it down.

Rover: (…I think I heard something.)

Beatrice: While investigating, I discovered that a few years ago, a Consultant accessed these data.

Beatrice: She was out in the field recently and just returned to the Black Shores. You should check in with her first.

Rover: Alright. I'll call if I get anything.

Beatrice: Thank you. I'm counting on you!

Look for the Consultant

Talk to the Consultant

Black Shores Consultant: Hello, you must be Rover, right? Beatrice filled me in on what happened.

Black Shores Consultant: The reason I looked into that Stellar Matrix is because of this little guy I found in the wild.

A small, damaged, and slightly old-looking robot quietly rests at her feet.

Black Shores Consultant: When I found it, it had been non-functional for a long time.

Black Shores Consultant: I tried to fix it, but I couldn't salvage much data… I only got this damaged recording:

KU-Riri: …May: Majority of buildings in Petalfall Village damaged from Tacet Discord invasion. Heavy casualties. Survivors have been transferred…

KU-Riri: Threat level extremely high according to the Tethys System. The Black Shores leader has decided to handle the issue himself and has departed to…

KU-Riri: (Static)… The village's remaining structures covered by highly mutated plants. Rescuing is difficult. More time needed…

KU-Riri: A… (static)… was discovered in a deep underground cave. One Overclocked Resonator named 'Lady Flora' was rescued and taken to Black Shores. Biography pending...

KU-Riri: Rabelle's Curve, this subject tends to enter the Overclocking state… currently stable… (static)…

Rover: (The Black Shores leader handled the issue himself… So I brought this Lady Flora back to the Black Shores?)

Black Shores Consultant: The recording ends there. I had just joined the Black Shores back then, feeling curious about everything… especially about our leader.

Black Shores Consultant: Everything about him was shrouded in mystery, and only a select few had ever met him.

Black Shores Consultant: But I didn't give up. I started looking into the other name mentioned in the recording: Lady Flora.

Black Shores Consultant: The Stellar Matrix you're hunting down contained information about Lady Flora.

Black Shores Consultant: Yeah. That piqued my interest, so I asked—well, pestered—my seniors to see if I could get anything.

Black Shores Consultant: Lady Flora was said to be very close to the Black Shores leader. They were inseparable and carried out many missions together.

Black Shores Consultant: Unfortunately, Lady Flora has been missing for nearly two decades…

Rover: Missing… Seems like I can't use this clue to locate that matrix.

Black Shores Consultant: Not necessarily. You're a trusted Bloom Bearer of the Shorekeeper, right?

Black Shores Consultant: The Hall of Foreign Affairs stores a lot of information about the Black Shores personnel. Try your luck there. Maybe you'll find something.

Head to the Hall of Foreign Affairs

Black Shores Member: Oh? But Lady Flora's item was already picked up by another Bloom Bearer.

Rover: Who took it?

Camellya: You looking for me?

Camellya: Hehe, if you want it, try to catch me!

Catch up with Camellya

Rover: Something's on the ground? I need to check it out.

Rover: Another camellia... She's never tired of these little games.

Rover: I guess I have no choice but to catch up with Camellya first.

Camellya: Oh, you're quick! I knew you wouldn't keep me waiting.

Rover: Were you following me?

Camellya: Yeah, is that a problem?

Camellya: I followed you to the cell on a whim. Then I heard something interesting.

Camellya: Plus, this thing is just finding its way back to its owner. I see no wrong in that.

Rover: To its owner… Are you that "Lady Flora"?

Camellya: Yes and no.

Camellya: Just like you, I've completely forgotten about the past! All of it! So, I guess I'm not the Lady Flora you're looking for.

Camellya: Of course, I did some digging, but… a little accident stopped me.

Rover: (If Camellya is Lady Flora, then we were supposed to be close, but neither of us remembers…)

Rover: (The fact that I used to be the leader... This should only be known to the Shorekeeper.)

Rover: (Maybe I shouldn't mention it to Camellya until I'm sure she's not a threat.)

Camellya: Since you handled the Threnodian, a little game of battle shouldn't be too much trouble for you, right?

Camellya: As a Bloom Bearer, I need to pick the perfect seeds for the Black Shores and give them my utmost care.

Camellya: All these years, I haven't met anyone intriguing—not one person!

Camellya: You're MY seed of fate. If I let you go so easily, all my efforts, my yearning, my hunger will not be satisfied.

Camellya: If you get taken or killed by somebody else...

Camellya: Why? It's pure instinct!

Camellya: Flowers thirst for water; beasts hunger for flesh. It's nature, just like my craving for you.

Camellya: I want it, and I get it. That's how I live.

Rover: That fleeing Stellar Matrix might affect the Necrostar’s functioning. Worse, it could threaten the Black Shores.

Camellya: So? I don't care! If this island's gonna blow up, so be it. Unless, of course, it ruins my fun.

Rover: …

Camellya: Are you angry? Hehe, your anger is sooo delicious…

Camellya: Hahahaha! Fantastic! Let's get started!

Start the "game"

Beat Camellya in the "game"

Camellya: While you were handling the troubles at the Black Shores, I was stuck in a medical pod and missed the whole show.

Camellya: What a pity I couldn't witness it in person… Show me. Your blade, your strength.

Camellya: The fresh, pulsating despair from my enemies is always delightful...

Camellya: What a show. You never disappoint me. With you around, the days ahead will be so much fun.

Camellya: The game's over. Here you go, the thing I promised you. Let's keep going, my hero~

Rover: The info in that matrix is related to you. With you by my side, I should be able to locate and capture it faster.

Camellya: Hehe, alright. So...?

Rover: We need to solve this accident as soon as possible, and you promised to help if I played the game with you.

Camellya: Haha! Guess I have no other choice, huh?

Camellya: ...Well, it's lovely to see you being a little pushy too! I like your serious side. Sure, I'll go.

Rover: What else do you know about Lady Flora? You said a small accident happened during your investigation...

Camellya: Sure, it's no big deal, since I survived.

Camellya: Hmm... My memories were sealed by Lady Flora somehow. No matter how much I try to recall, it doesn't work.

Camellya: I only remember waking up in a cave, my mind completely blank. Drifted aimlessly for years, until I stumbled upon the Black Shores.

Camellya: And guess what? Turns out I had lived here before! Naturally, I wanted to investigate further and figure it out.

Camellya: So that's what I did. I'm sure I uncovered the truth behind my memory loss, but… when I woke up in the medical pod again, I'd forgotten everything.

Camellya: Guess somehow I almost died from Overclocking when I learned about my past, and I had to seal my memories away again. That's pretty much what happened, I think?

Camellya: I still don't know why Lady Flora did that though... Well, I don't really care. I can have fun with or without those memories.

Rover: It doesn't sound like you're talking about your past self.

Camellya: Hello~? Are you listening? Told you I remember nothing, so... Lady Flora is more like a stranger to me.

Camellya: It's like watching a movie. No matter how happy or sad the story is, it's someone else's story, after all.

Camellya: Haha, you don't care, do you? I knew we think alike.

Camellya: Aww... You are more sentimental than I expected.

Camellya: Anyway, I'll trust my instincts over some distant memories.

Camellya: Yeah, and what's wrong with that?

Camellya: That's right!

Camellya: My instincts rule me, and I rule them. I feel great joy when they are fulfilled, and when I ignore them, I suffer in return.

Camellya: Hehe, let's drop this boring discussion. Shall we split up to find the other stuff?

Rover: Sure. Whoever finds it first will go meet up with the other.

Camellya: Ooh, then it's a competition—I'm in! Let the search begin!

Look for Lady Flora's items

Rover: This Blake Bloom is…

Enter the cave

Camellya: He's sooo slow. Hehe, looks like I'm gonna win.

Camellya: Ah, I can sense my prey deep inside. So many of them…

Camellya: How wonderful.

Defeat all enemies

Camellya: Hehe, finally, something that gets my blood pumping.

Look for Rover

Camellya: Found you!

Defeat all enemies

Camellya: Hahaha!

Camellya: Good, good. Please me! Delight me! Entertain me!

Camellya: Oh yes, that's what I want! Keep struggling! MORE!

Camellya: Ah... Wonderful…

Camellya: The way you fought really makes my heart race… Such power, such vitality…

Camellya: Ugh, I wish I were the one dancing this deadly, bloody, beautiful waltz with you…

Rover: …I wanted to help you up.

Camellya: Hehe, I know. I was just overwhelmed with joy… Cough! Ugh…

Rover: You're on the edge of Overclocking. And you were in a medical pod before... Does this happen often?

Camellya: Aww, you're sooo sweet. I'm almost blushing.

Camellya: That's not considerate, darling. Besides, with the Tethys System here, I can't really cause any major damage.

Camellya: And I'm good at dancing on the edge. I won't let myself Overclock that easily. But if it does happen… I'll just accept it as my fate.

Rover: It's very dangerous. You know the risks, right?

Camellya: Of course I do. But once severe Overclocking symptoms appear, they can't be cured, can they?

Camellya: And I'm happy!

Camellya: It's been a blast competing and taking down those Tacet Discords with you... That's all I need to have a good time.

Camellya: If one day I die from Overclocking, so be it! The Black Shores will make sure there's no Tacet Field generated from me.

Camellya: I've always followed my instincts, ignored anything that didn't interest me. No regrets, even if I died now.

Camellya: Carpe diem, enjoy the moment… Life is boring if you're stuck in the past or consumed by the future.

Camellya: The remaining frequencies... Yes, it belongs to Lady Flora.

Camellya: It's been almost 20 years since the last frequencies were recorded.

Camellya: Blake Blooms represent a Bloom Bearer's identity. They always have one on them. These frequencies can help us track Lady Flora's last activity.

Camellya: She and the leader of Black Shores vanished at the same time, no longer appearing in records.

Rover: (Around the same time? The two cases might be connected...)

Camellya: Oh, right. I just remembered what that strange feeling I had earlier was.

Camellya: When I saw you in Jinzhou... It felt as if I'd seen you somewhere else before.

Beatrice: How impressive, Rover! That's fast!

Beatrice: Please head to the Modulation Hall. I'll meet you there.

Head to the Modulation Hall

Beatrice: Rover, please give me the things you just found… Oh, you want to come along, Camellya?

Camellya: Rover begged me to go with him, and it looked fun, so I agreed.

Beatrice: Well, that's rare. The Camellya I know was only interested in going out to find candidates.

Beatrice: Yeah, normally, Camellya doesn't seem to care about anything.

Beatrice: Hehe, that's quite a confident statement, but you do have the skills to back it up.

Beatrice: With Camellya on this mission with you, you should be safer.

Beatrice: Don't worry. I'll be keeping a close eye on you.

You hand the three items to Beatrice. She records the information and then returns them to you.

Beatrice: Hold on. I need some time to process the data. Once that's done, you can dive into the Stellar Matrix with our portal.

Camellya: Past, present, future… All the possibilities in the universe change within this swirling starry sky.

Camellya: I'm starting to get a bit interested~! What kind of "me" is hidden in there?

Camellya: Let's go, Rover. A new adventure awaits.

Investigate the cave

Camellya: I see… (static)… something… deep…

Rover: Camellya?

Camellya: I'll catch… then meet me…

Beatrice: (Static)… what happened… Rover…

Rover: The communication cut out. Something must've happened.

Rover: Got separated from Camellya… I should check out the surroundings.

Lady Flora: I've sealed my memories, letting the past fade into nothingness.

Lady Flora: ...Did I make the right choice?

Lady Flora: But Rover already made his choice. Now I must make my own choice, too.

Lady Flora: Ha... I'd rather die than live as a useless nobody.

Rover: Is that Camellya? No…

Rover: I'm inside a Stellar Matrix that holds Lady Flora's information, so it must be a simulation of some past event.

Whispers of Lady Flora drift from somewhere up ahead

Lady Flora: Many years have passed, and here I am again...

Lady Flora: But I'm not gonna stay at the Black Shores and live off old memories.

Lady Flora: Ugh! My body's giving out... Hah... Need a place to rest soon.

Follow Lady Flora's illusion

Rover: Camellya's illusion disappeared.

Rover: Since she mentioned "sealed her memories" and "returned", this must be the cave from twenty years ago.

Rover: Did Camellya seal her memories because of my choice?

Beatrice: Something's not right. I'll get you out of the Stellar Matrix first!

The surroundings turn dark, and you feel yourself being lifted out of the Stellar Matrix. You open your eyes, and find yourself back to the Black Shores.

Beatrice: Camellya is still inside that Stellar Matrix.

Beatrice: She was trapped inside and started to sink deeper—that's why you couldn't go any further.

Beatrice: Besides, Camellya has found the matrix core. Without her, it might have escaped again.

Beatrice: There will be various simulated areas. To reach the destination, you need to find and jump to the correct timeline junctures.

Beatrice: Due to a mutated Stellar Matrix, you may not reach the destination in one go.

Beatrice: Multiple jumps might be required to get there. Rover, please stay safe!

Dive into the stars and retrieve the corrupted Stellar Matrix

Explore the first timeline juncture

Talk to Ku-Riri

(KU-Riri is pacing back and forth, seemingly eager to say something.)

KU-Riri: Master, the Overclocked Resonator known as "Lady Flora" has breached containment and left her medical pod.

KU-Riri: Target is in the room ahead. Your need to calm her down and transfer her back to the medical pod.

KU-Riri: "Lady Flora" is dangerous—her mind and language skills are impaired, making her prone to reckless behavior. She is a threat to the Black Shores' internal facilities.

KU-Riri: As for the other residents of Petalfall Village, we have confirmed that they have all perished.

Rover: (The previous recording mentioned a few survivors from the Tacet Discord Outbreak, but in this Petalfall Village, everyone perished except for Camellya.)

KU-Riri: Two weeks ago.

KU-Riri: Master, master, m-master...

KU-Riri: Please calm her down as soon as possible. Prolonged Overclocking will put greater strain on her body.

KU-Riri turns and looks at the door a short distance away.

Inspect the gate

Rover: It's locked... So Camellya, in her Overclocked state, damaged the locked door's security system, when her mind was unclear?

Rover: I need to restore the security system first.

Destroy the vines sealing the gate

Enter the room

Rover: The mutated plants have grown so large… Camellya in this timeline has severely Overclocked.

Look for the Overclocking Camellya

Camellya: …

Camellya: It's you…

Camellya: Restraints… I… AHHHHHH!

Camellya: Voices… so many noises…!

Camellya: My head… My whole body... hurts...

Camellya: Petalfall Village…

Camellya: I see… Ah, it's over…

Camellya: You… defeated… me.

Camellya: I seem to… have seen you… much earlier…

Camellya: This… is...

Camellya: …for you.

Jump to the next timeline juncture

Rover: Camellya disappeared… So, does that gate lead to a new juncture?

Rover: Lady Flora once Overclocked so much that her mind was heavily damaged, and her language abilities degenerated… Then, the Camellya I know…

Explore the second timeline juncture

Rover: I'm... back on the surface of the Black Shores island?

Rover: I should go look around.

Explore the shoreline

Talk to the Black Shores Gardener

Camellya: It's really you!

Camellya: I'm Camellya. Or call me "Lady Flora" if you want. People from Petalfall Village like to call me that.

Camellya: You left in such a hurry. We didn't even get a chance to talk.

Camellya: I felt... off, like I missed out on something important, so I came here alone to find you.

Rover: How's the situation in Petalfall Village?

Camellya: The injured have been transferred to other nearby villages. Most of the villagers are safe and sound, thanks to your timely rescue.

Rover: (Most of the villagers are safe… and with the way Camellya looks now… It seems I'm in an alternate timeline again.)

Rover: (But even if the history is changed, we still met each other.)

Camellya: You're the Black Shores leader, aren't you?

Camellya: Yes.

Camellya: I… don't know.

Camellya: Those Consultants said my Rabelle's Test showed I awakened my Forte. But in the village, I didn't feel anything special.

Camellya: Yes, villagers said I appeared in the woods by their lake one autumn morning.

Camellya: That's all I remember. Didn't have anywhere else to go, so I stayed in that village.

Camellya: Hmm…

Rover: Join us if you pass the assessment. The Black Shores welcomes those who protect the world.

Camellya: Ah... It's a beautiful name. I'll never forget it.

Camellya: I'm so happy, really, really happy that my vines feel so light…

Camellya: How strange... This is our first formal conversation, but...

Camellya: It feels like I had heard your name before...

Camellya: Look, this is my Forte. I quite like it.

Camellya: I want to shadow you, see how a strong person like you moves forward.

Camellya: This flower... is for you. I'm looking forward to the days ahead.

Jump to the next timeline juncture

Camellya: Oh? It's you.

Camellya: Done with the work? You should get some rest.

Camellya: I've been super well-behaved these past few days! Did everything as you said! Didn't cause any trouble or go to places I shouldn't!

KU-Riri: KU-Riri reporting in! The infrastructure damage in Petalfall Village is severe. The rebuilding will be difficult in the short term, and it requires reassessment…

Camellya: You need some discipline, robot. How dare you interrupt my conversation with him?

Camellya: You wanna know the situation in Petalfall Village? I can tell you. I was there, remember?

Camellya: It's been… a few months since the Tacet Discords attacked the village.

Camellya: I turned into a flower tree due to Overclocking and trapped those feeble creatures in an underground cave.

Camellya: Oh, I threw them out of the village when I started transforming. They would have died if they stayed.

Camellya: Not many survived, but some did. They managed to hold on until you showed up, and they guided you to find me.

Camellya: What a surprise. Thought they'd run away when I threw them out.

Camellya: Hahaha! That's a cute way to put it.

Camellya: What? I'm speaking from my heart. I don't wanna spare a glance at those weaklings.

Camellya: I despise weaklings. Myself included. I was a sorry sap when I turned into that plant!

Camellya: But you saved me. You pulled me out of Overclocking and brought me back to sanity. I should thank you.

Camellya: I don't remember anything before I arrived in that village. I don't care anyway. You're the only one who's ever made me feel so excited.

Camellya: So, how about making me your Bloom Bearer? You see... who else can keep me from causing trouble elsewhere?

Camellya: Right? Making me yours exactly aligns with the interests of Solaris, and as you just said, would make the world a safer place.

Camellya: Just so you know, when I was doing the Rabelle test, the staff said I'm still prone to Overclocking.

Camellya: I may have great power now, but I might lose it or fall prey to my emotions again someday.

Camellya: If that day comes, then… I'll embrace it as my destiny! Fate's already brought us together, and I'll pay any cost for that.

Camellya: It's led me to the most exquisite flower in this world. I'll give anything for it, no hesitation!

Camellya: Did you know? Climbing plants are obsessed with big, gorgeous trees. Clinging onto them like their life depends on it, sucking up all the energy they can get from the sun.

Camellya: They're driven by an insatiable hunger to savor their beloved tree, down to the last bit.

Camellya: One day, we'll have plenty of time together. You can definitely, rigorously... train me!

Camellya: This flower is for you, to express my…

Beatrice: It's the correct timeline juncture. Initiating jump now!

Camellya: Hmph, this little troublemaker is clever, having set all these traps.

Camellya: But now its core is cornered here, it can't run any further. I can handle it easily when I find it.

Camellya: It's a pity I got separated from him.

Camellya: I wish he could see what I just saw in those alternative timelines. Can't wait to see his reactions.

Camellya: If I hadn't returned to the Black Shores and become a Bloom Bearer again…

Camellya: It was still possible for us to reunite! I saw it! Whether as a wandering traveler or a Fractsidus member, I got to meet him anyway!

Lady Flora: I've sealed my memories, letting the past fade into nothingness.

Lady Flora: ...Did I make the right choice?

Camellya: Is that… me?

Camellya: They said this matrix contains Lady Flora's information, so… this must be something "I" had experienced in the past.

Camellya: Sealed memories and this cave… this is where I first awoke.

Camellya: Seems like this is what Lady Flora last saw before she decided to seal her memories.

Lady Flora: But Rover already made his choice. Now I must make my own choice, too.

Lady Flora: Ha... I'd rather die than live as a useless nobody.

Camellya: …Rover? So I knew him before?

Camellya: Hahaha! That's it! He's a magnet for all kinds of fun. Now let's see what else we can stir up!

Investigate further

Camellya: Guess I'd better not use my Forte, or I'd be at a disadvantage when Rover catches up later.

Pick up the flower seed

Camellya: Is it a flower seed on the base?

Use the flower seed to open the door

Camellya: Hehe, as I expected.

Camellya: That flower is craving a flower seed. Guess I should place a seed there to unlock the gate.

Pick up the flower seed

Camellya: The flower seed has unveiled the hidden path. Hehe, this space seems to defy its creator's will to aid me.

Lady Flora: After all these years, he still made that choice…

Lady Flora: I never asked him much about the Black Shores or his past.

Lady Flora: I didn't care. As long as we were both happy when we crossed blades, I was happy.

Lady Flora: But now, Rover wants to leave… and even abandon his memories?

Lady Flora: Doing all of this for what? A so-called better outcome?

Lady Flora: Haha, for the Black Shores, a better future must mean saving Solaris.

Lady Flora: I don't care about that at all.

Lady Flora: Why? Why do I have to lose my only beloved playmate, my most cherished opponent!

Lady Flora: Here at the Black Shores, he's the most trapped one... by far.

Camellya: Ugh, is this an illusion from the past? Looks like I used to be quite… sentimental.

Camellya: Though I had this guess while in the previous junctures—Rover was indeed the former Black Shores leader.

Lady Flora: ...Hmph. They mean well, but… I know myself better.

Lady Flora: Rest won't help… I've lost my anchor. He's no longer here to rein me in.

Lady Flora: I've started remembering things from before I came to Petalfall Village.

Lady Flora: Hehe, was our encounter there a gift from fate… or a curse?

Lady Flora: But now, thinking about the past will only make my Overclocking worse.

Lady Flora: Rover is gone. I can choose to wait, but will he really return?

Lady Flora: What if… I'm already dead by then?

Lady Flora: What if I never see him again?

Camellya: Dead is dead. It means the end. There's no point in imagining all this.

Camellya: Fearing loneliness and death…? These emotions are so unfamiliar… so strange.

Lady Flora: There is... another way, to keep Overclocking from eating me inside out.

Lady Flora: A way to control my emotions... Stop the past from haunting me. A way to forget it all.

Lady Flora: I will abandon my memories like Rover once did, sealing them away.

Lady Flora: Sanity is a gift from him. I would not give it up that easily.

Lady Flora: I am one and the same with my instincts.

Lady Flora: Like flowers thirst for water, and beasts hunger for flesh…

Lady Flora: With or without my memories, my instincts will still guide me to him.

Lady Flora: When we meet again, I hope he remains my worthy opponent. Friends or foes, united and unbound... It's a dream come true!

Camellya: Hehe, indeed, that's the choice I would make.

Camellya: Cough… I will bloom to my fullest... follow my desires… till the end of it all.

Camellya: …I... can't see the road ahead…

Camellya: One more step… I can't... die here...

Proceed forward

Defeat the Stellar Matrix Core

Camellya's Alter Ego: Hahaha, come be my prey, sweet little birdie!

Camellya's Alter Ego: Consume and be consumed by power... What's wrong with that!

Camellya: ...I have no plan to drown here.

Camellya: Let's crush this pesky creature together!

Camellya: Ah… Fighting by your side feels sooo good. My heart, my pulse, my frequencies—the vibrations are driving me crazy!

Camellya: Such weaklings. I haven't had enough fun yet.

Camellya smiles weakly before joyfully recounting what happened in the Stellar Matrix.

Camellya: You saw those possible iterations of history too?

Camellya: No wonder I felt something familiar when I first saw you outside Jinzhou…

Camellya: Hah... Welcome back, Rover. Glad to see you again.

Camellya: I saw a lot of interesting stuff… I woke up in that cave a decade ago. Traveled all across Solaris before I ended up back at the Black Shores.

Camellya: The matrix showed me several different iterations of my past. Looks like even the smallest deviations can lead to entirely different outcomes.

Camellya: But one constant remained—you always saved me, and we always found each other.

Camellya: Our encounter is preordained in every future...

Camellya: My beloved seed, my only… rival.

Camellya: And you just helped me with my Overclocking… Hmph, I won't let it happen again.

Camellya: Gotta make sure to show you my best!

Rover: This Stellar Matrix should be temporarily deactivated since its core has been dealt with.

Rover: Let's go back. Give the coordinates to Beatrice, and this mission will be over.

Camellya: Then... can I have the rest of your day?

Rover: What do you wanna do?

Camellya: Hehe, let me keep it a secret for now.

Leave the Stars

Deliver the Stellar Matrix

Beatrice: Welcome back! Glad to see you safely return. Thank you for your hard work.

Camellya: A Stellar Matrix is no match for us. Easy peasy.

Rover: Have you received the coordinates?

Beatrice: Yes, thank you. Leave the rest to us.

Beatrice: By the way, Camellya, Shorekeeper asked me to remind you. Please use the medical pod in good time.

Camellya: What? My symptoms are already gone… Alright, I'll go later. She really worries too much.

Camellya: But she helped keep my bracelet safe too. Heh, I owe her that.

Camellya: Hmm, let me think... To the surface. Veiled Rock, the starting point.

Head to Veiled Rock

Camellya: When I found those photos, I made a decision.

Camellya: Photos are great for capturing memories. Take some photos of me.

Camellya: In the past, others recorded us, but now we'll have to do it ourselves.

Camellya: Consider it... a tangible keepsake.

Camellya: They last longer than our memories. A moment frozen in frame.

Camellya: As the Black Shores leader, a small task like this would be a piece of cake for you, I bet?

Camellya: Rover, do you still have that bracelet?

Camellya: Good. You can keep it, so... a piece of me always stays with you.

Camellya: Since the past between us is a secret now, consider this bracelet our witness.

Rover: What exactly is this bracelet…?

Camellya: Hehe, it's an old one. It was… a gift.

Camellya: Got it for monitoring my Rabelle spectrum, as an Overclocking warning device.

Camellya: But I don't really need it anymore. Told you I'll never lose control again.

Camellya: Except in a special situation like this, in most cases, nothing can even leave a scratch on me.

Camellya: No, I'm quite happy with things as they are right now. No need to risk opening the floodgates and winding up in another medical pod.

Camellya: Since Lady Flora—the past me—chose to seal away those memories, I'm fully behind my decision.

Camellya: As for the memories we used to share, if fate decides to reveal them, they'll resurface naturally as we continue our journey together.

Camellya: Plus… does it really matter? No, it doesn't!

Camellya: Fate has already brought us back together.

Camellya: I bet we'll have more wild stories to share, and more games to play.

Camellya: No point dwelling on the past. I'd rather live in the moment.

Camellya: …Speaking of which, I have a question for you.

Camellya: Is that so? Good to know. I'm happy too. Every moment dancingSparring with you brings me immense joy!

Camellya: Then... If one day you get tired of all this saving-the-world stuff, I'll whisk you away to a place where no one can find us!

Camellya: Heh, same here. But you'll be fine, because you have me now. We can take our time figuring out this life, together!

Camellya: This is where I first set foot on this island, where everything began. The stars lie beneath our feet, where the Tethys System resides.

Camellya: Tethys records all data on Solaris, capturing countless possibilities born and fading away.

Camellya: But in every possible scenario, we always find each other.

Camellya: All paths in the stars converge towards this single endpoint, so—

Camellya: The universes where we didn't meet must have all perished! Only this one survived!

Camellya: If the universe were a flower, then yes…

Camellya: ...This must be the perfect world for a gardener like me.

Camellya: Ah, the breeze here... It feels so perfect against my skin.

Camellya: The waves crashing, the light shimmering on the water's surface...

Camellya: Hehe, don't you think? Maybe we used to sit here like this, together...

Camellya: Feeling the wind, watching the night unfold before us, again and again...
