Ar tonelico is one of my favorite games. So I decided to transcribe some of the
most interesting parts of the game, namely the Cosmosphere. I have finished the
game long ago, but sadly it took me such a long time to get around to do this.
Anyway, if you have already played through the game, I hope this script would
bring you back the memories of the fun playing this game. If you haven't played
this game, I hope this script would interest you to try out this game.

The world was too weird to call a "world." It existed only to show Lyner.
A hollow world plastered with lies, because Misha does not have the courage
to show her true self yet.


* Lyner arrives at the Stonehenge. *

Lyner: This is a Cosmosphere...?

* A little girl on an ocarina appears. *

???: ......

Lyner: Whoa! Who are you!? You startled me!

???: What is your name?

Lyner: ...Huh?

???: Your name!?

Lyner: Oh, ah, yeah...I'm Lyner Barsett.

???: Lyner!? Oh, I knew it...

Lyner: Huh? Do you know me?

???: ......

???: ...I knew it. Good thing I didn't expect too much.

Lyner: Hey, that's not nice!

Hama: Ah, never mind. I'm Hama, the [Mind Guardian] of this Cosmosphere.

Lyner: Mind Guardian...?

Hama: Yes. It's my job to stop intruders like you from wandering around.

Lyner: I'm not an intruder! Misha asked me to dive in. That's the only reason
       I'm here...

Hama: Hmph!

* Hama hits Lyner. *

Lyner: Oww! What did you do that for!?

Hama: That's for not taking responsibility for your own actions! I really feel
      sorry for Misha. Hmm, I wonder why she chose you...

Lyner: Well, I'm sorry...

Hama: That's okay. I've already given up on you.

Hama: But, I'll always be with you as long as you're inside this Cosmosphere.
      And I'll be watching your every move.

Lyner: Great. So, what do I do to help Misha craft some Song Magic?

Hama: It's not that difficult. Just look around until you find Misha. Then,
      explore with her.

Hama: If something dramatic happens, she'll craft a Song. But with Misha, she
      might start crafting Songs without all the drama.

Hama: But, to visit different locations, you'll need a good supply of dive
      points.

Hama: Significant locations require more dive points. That's because only
      reliable people should enter them.

Hama: To enter those locations, you need to build a reliable relationship with
      Misha in the real world to earn enough dive points.

Lyner: ...Okay.

Hama: Heheheha! The best thing to do is just walk around the world.

* Background moves to the Cosmosphere map. *

Lyner: So, this is the world inside of Misha's mind... What can I say to
       describe it...

Lyner: Well...pictures are worth a thousand words, so...

Hama: Oh! Don't be too quick to judge! There's more to this world than you can
      see from here. You should look around.

----

* At the Eternal Street... *

Lyner: What a nice looking town.

???: Lyner!!

* Misha appears. *

Misha: Lyner! You're here! Thank you for coming!

Lyner: Misha? Why is Misha in her own mind?

Misha: Well it's my world. I can do anything I want.

Lyner: I see... Then, can you use magic?

Misha: Of course! But to craft magic, I need a healthy imagination and a lot of
       creativity.

Misha: So, I need your help. It's a lot harder to craft by myself.

Lyner: Okay. Misha from the real world said she wants Song Magic that shoots a
       lightning bolt...

Misha: Oh yeah, I can do that right away.

Misha: Hmmm... How about this?

* Ground is shaking with the intense sound of electricity. *

Lyner: Whoa! Be careful with that!

Misha: There you go! The real Misha should be able to use it now, too.

Lyner: Wow! Crafting Song Magic is a lot easier than I thought.

Misha: It really depends on the person. I'm really good at this...well, I'm
       better than others.

Lyner: Misha, you're amazing!

Misha: Thank you!

Misha: If you want more Song Magic, you can search this world to find more.

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: Crafting magic seems so easy.

Hama: That was just a simple one. I'm sure you'll screw up on the higher level
      ones.

Lyner: Don't say that...

----

* At the Eternal Street again... *

Hama: What are you doing? I don't want you to wander around inside Misha like
      that.

Lyner: I'm sorry. It's my first time going into a Cosmosphere. It's so strange.

Hama: You... Don't tell me Misha is your first dive partner at your age.

Lyner: Well, yeah, she is. When I was in Platina, I was alone, swinging my
       sword and charging around.

Hama: ...I'm amazed.

Lyner: And don't you have to really trust each other when diving?

Lyner: It's not that I didn't have a partner... I just couldn't get that far
       for personal reasons. I'm a little cowardly, ahaha!

Hama: You really are.

Lyner: ...I'm sorry.

Hama: ...

Hama: Well, it seems you care a lot, maybe even too much, for Reyvateils.

Lyner: Of course!

Hama: Treasure those feelings.

----

* At the Constraint House... *

Misha: Lyner...I think you're moving too fast...

Lyner: Wh, what!?

Misha: You know what I mean. You couldn't just wait a minute?

Lyner: No, wait! You got it all wrong. I wasn't thinking of anything dirty!

Misha: Huh? Dirty thoughts? I was talking about Song Magic.

Lyner: Oh...

Misha: You were thinking something dirty!

Lyner: No, it's not like that!

Misha: Ahahaha! I was just kidding. It's so fun to tease you!

Lyner: Don't make fun of me! I'm serious, you know.

Misha: I'm sorry. I'll craft something new. I know, I'll make it a "Blue Magic"
       this time.

Lyner: Blue Magic? What's that?

Misha: Blue Magic is mainly for "Guarding" and "Healing". To craft it, you have
       to be with someone that you really want to protect.

Misha: So, Blue Magic is like proof of my love for you, Lyner.

Lyner: Sure.

Misha: Here we go! Ya!

* The Thunder Guard appears. *

Lyner: What is this?

Misha: My thoughts of wanting to protect you created this.

Thunder Guard: Misha, Lyner. I'll protect you from thunder with my metal
               shield.

Misha: Thanks!

* The Thunder Guard disappears. *

Misha: So this is how it works.

Lyner: You really can make anything! I'll just have to dive with you every time
       I need new magic.

Misha: Yeah, you can count on me!

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: You're so amazing, Misha...

Hama: Well, she is better than the average Reyvateil.

----

* Outside the Life Tower... *

Misha: Do you know what this tower is?

Lyner: Tower? It looks more like an energy field.

Misha: We need to get closer to check it out.

* Lyner and Misha arrives at the Tower. *

Lyner: It really is a tower...I wonder if we can get in from here.

Misha: No. It's just a port for the symphonic power lines. People can't go
       inside.

Lyner: Symphonic power lines...?

Misha: You won't understand now, so I'll have to tell you later.

Misha: Anyway, it's easier to craft powerful Song Magic around here since
       there's an abundance of energy.

Misha: That's why you should craft your Red Magic here to get powerful attacks.

Lyner: I see.

Misha: Okay, we wasted enough time! I'll make something awesome!

Misha: Here we go. Ya!

* A big Dragon appears! *

Lyner: Wow!!!

Misha: I did it!

Dragon: Are you the one who crafted me?

Misha: Yes!

Dragon: You're just a girl...? Do you think you can handle me?

Misha: What?

* The Dragon strikes with its breath attack. *

Misha: Agh!

Lyner: Misha!

Dragon: You fool! You're 10 levels too early to craft me!

Misha: No fair! I created you...

Dragon: You may have the power to craft, but I won't take orders from posers
        like you who are afraid of showing the truth.

Misha: ......

Dragon: Come back later!

* The Dragon disappears. *

Misha: ......

Lyner: Are you all right...? Get a hold of yourself!

Misha: I'm too embarrassed to be with you.

* Misha runs away. *

Lyner: Misha!!

Lyner: ...I have to chase her!

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: Where did she go!?

Hama: ...I don't know. Find her yourself.

Lyner: You're so cold.

----

* At the Eternal Street... *

Lyner: Misha... Where are you...?

???: Are you looking for someone?

* A mechanical rabbit with a clock appears. *

Lyner: Who are you!?

Watch Mecha Rabbit: I'm a part of Misha's consciousness. I don't know why I was
                    created, but we'll learn soon enough.

Lyner: I'm Lyner. Do you know where Misha is?

Watch Mecha Rabbit: No. I don't have a crystal ball to tell your fortune.

Lyner: Hmmm...do you know what's happening? Or what caused it?

Watch Mecha Rabbit: It's because the dragon is beyond the capacity for this
                    world to contain.

Watch Mecha Rabbit: Misha's a girl of great potential. She can craft magic
                    that's greater than her world can handle.

Watch Mecha Rabbit: This time, she messed up. Misha can craft a dragon, but
                    she's not capable of handling it.

Lyner: The Cosmosphere is so complicated. So, when will she be ready to handle
       it?

Watch Mecha Rabbit: She has to increase her spiritual level. It's important
                    that she willingly does so.

Watch Mecha Rabbit: Unless she feels the need to do so, you can't do anything
                    to help her.

Lyner: ...I got it.

Watch Mecha Rabbit: As her spiritual level increases, she has to reveal her
                    inner secrets to you.

Watch Mecha Rabbit: All the graffiti in this world is a reflection of her
                    unwillingness to reveal her true emotions.

Watch Mecha Rabbit: Her true world is underneath all this filth.

Watch Mecha Rabbit: Misha is probably afraid to show you her true feelings.
                    And you know why, don't you?

Lyner: ...?

Watch Mecha Rabbit: You're pretty slow... You should go talk to Misha
                    personally.

Watch Mecha Rabbit: I've been here too long. I should get going.

Lyner: Misha's secret world...

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... *

Hama: You still haven't found her?

Lyner: Does Misha have something that she doesn't want to show me?

Hama: Huh? Of course. Not just Misha. Most people don't show 95% of their true
      selves. Which means, you are only seeing 5% of that person.

Hama: By diving, you're seeing the private 95% of that person.

Lyner: What!? I'm not here to invade her privacy!

Hama: I know you didn't mean to, but after all, that is what you're doing.

Hama: I know Misha is the one who asked you to dive, but she also regrets
      asking you.

Hama: She wanted you to dive and get to know her more.

Hama: But, at the same time, she doesn't want to show you her ugly side.

Hama: Girls have many inner feelings, you know?

Hama: You need to understand and care for her!

Lyner: I know.

----

* At the Constraint House... *

Lyner: Misha! There you are! I was starting to get worried.

Misha: ...I put your life in danger...

Misha: I was trying to impress you, but all I did was embarrass myself...

Lyner: There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Anyway, what happened here?

Misha: I guess...this world just isn't strong enough to have a dragon.

Lyner: Yeah...to have something as big as a dragon in here, you'll have to
       improve your spiritual level.

Misha: How do you know that!?

Lyner: Some rabbit-looking creature told me...it lives in here somewhere.

Misha: Really!? I haven't even seen it. So, what did you talk about? Did it say
       something bad? Do you hate me now?

Lyner: Calm down. All I heard was that this world you're showing me isn't real.

Lyner: Misha...why won't you show me your true self?

Misha: Because...I don't want to. But, it's not because I don't like you...

Misha: It's completely the opposite...

Misha: In my true heart...there's a bunch of things I don't want you to see,
       like my past, my true feelings, and embarrassing memories.

Misha: To craft stronger magic, I have to reveal myself, so that you can get
       closer to my deeper feelings...

Misha: So, I have to show you the embarrassing and ugly side of myself...

Lyner: ...Don't worry. Nothing can change how I feel about you. Whatever I see,
       I won't hold it against you.

Misha: ...You mean it?

Lyner: Yes, I do.

Misha: ...Okay. But, don't get your hopes up. Compared to my real Cosmosphere,
       the dragon was nothing...

Lyner: Really...?

Misha: ...Yeah. I heard that you were coming, so I wanted to fix up my
       Soulspace a little just to cover it up.

Misha: I didn't want you to see my real world...

Lyner: ......

Misha: But, I made up my mind. I have to show you the real me.

Misha: I don't know what I was thinking. You must hate me for trying to lie
       to you.

Misha: All I wanted was for us to be together. I'll be honest with you from
       now on.

Lyner: ......

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... and light glows at the Stonehenge. *

Lyner: What is this!?

Hama: Oh, that!? That's a Paradigm Shift!

Lyner: A Paradigm...Shift!? What's that? Like another monster or something?

Hama: You idiot! That means that Misha's spiritual level has grown.

Hama: By jumping into the light, Misha's spiritual level will advance by one.

Hama: Hurry, before it disappears! Go to the Stonehenge!

----

* At the Stonehenge... *

Misha: The Stonehenge is glowing...

Lyner: Misha, if you jump into the light, you'll get one level stronger.

Misha: Over here?

Lyner: Yeah.

Misha: If I gain a level, that horrible world might return...

Misha: I'm afraid to show you the real me...I'm scared that you won't...like
       me anymore...

Lyner: Misha...

Misha: I know I decided to do it earlier, but...now...I'm too nervous...

Lyner: Misha, it'll be alright. Growing stronger can't be bad, can it?

Lyner: I'm s proud of you for being this brave. And, nothing can change
       that now.

Misha: ...You mean it?

Lyner: Yes.

Misha: ...Promise?

Lyner: ...Yes.

Misha: Okay...I'll go.

Misha: Hey, Lyner...will I see you again in the next world?

Lyner: Of course.

Misha: ...Okay!

The curtains of lies are swept aside, and now the world is only darkness.
Misha doesn't know the real world, or herself in the real world. Lyner lights
the fire in her heart, one by one, using her emotions as the source of light.


* At the Stonehenge... *

Lyner: Huh? It's nighttime now?

Lyner: No, something's wrong. I better go check outside.

* At the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: Wha-!? It's pitch black!

Hama: You just saw Misha's true world, so you better take responsibility
      for this.

Lyner: Responsibility!? What are you talking about!

Hama: Misha showed you all of her fears, so now you have to calm her down.

Lyner: Well, I always treat her well. So, where did she go?

Hama: Why don't you look for her yourself. Though, you might not find her.

Lyner: What do you mean?

Hama: You'll know what I mean soon enough. It's beyond your imagination
      right now.

* Hama leaves. *

Lyner: Hey...she's gone... I guess I should search around.

Lyner: ...I see some light over there. I guess I better check it out.

----

* At the Eternal Street... Jack in a strange outfit appears. *

Jack: Yo, hey Lyner.

Lyner: U...m... I'm sorry who are you?

Jack: What are you talking about? It's me, Harmonica.

Lyner: Harmonica...!? I really don't know... But that voice! Are you Jack?

Jack: Who...? Whatever. Either way, I never though I'd meet you in a place
      like this.

Jack: Well, how's it feel to be inside Misha's mind? Pretty nice, huh?

Lyner: I don't really get what you mean by pretty nice but...

Jack: Alright. Well, I don't think it's that dangerous since it's Misha's
      world, but take care on your way.

Jack: And if something's up, tell me. I'll be around to listen and talk to.
      Don't worry on your own.

Lyner: Uh, yeah...

Jack: What's wrong? Is there something that's bothering you? Do you want me to
      go with you?

Lyner: Eh? No, it's okay... You don't have to do that.

Jack: I see. Anyway, if you're in trouble, just come and talk to me, alright?

Lyner: (Wh, what is this Jack!? He's really kind and his name is different and
       his clothes are robes...)

Lyner: (... Oh yeah, this Jack is merely an image of Jack that Misha created)

Lyner: (But... What kind of relationship do they have!?)

----

* At the Frost Mountain... *

Lyner: ...It's really dark in here...I can't see anything.

Lyner: Ouch! I bumped into something.

Lyner: Huh? I can see a light. I better go check it out.

* At the Eternal Street... *

Lyner: No...I'm back in town. I guess it's too dark to go up the mountain...

----

* At the Life Tower... *

Hama: You, are you so bored you had to come here?

Lyner: Well, that's not really it. I just felt like someone was here so I was
       a little curious.

Hama: And it was me. Too bad it wasn't Misha.

Lyner: I didn't think it was "too bad."

Hama: ...

Lyner: By the way, I've been a little curious, but why are you holding an
       ocarina?

Hama: W, wait... Is that... A serious question? You really don't know!?

Lyner: ...Huh?

Lyner: Uh, I mean... U-m...

Lyner: Oh, I know! You use the ocarina like a balloon to float, right?

Hama: Stupid! No!

Lyner: Uh... Oh, oh yeah! I just thought that was something else then...
       Ahaha... Um, it was...

Hama: Don't force it. I'm super shocked but, it can't be helped...

Lyner: I, I'm sorry...

Hama: But I'm not going to tell you the reason! Either try to remember, or ask
      Misha yourself!

Hama: *meanie*!

----

* At the Constraint House... *

Lyner: Nobody's...here...?

* A grown-up lady appears. *

???: Lyner....

Lyner: Whoa, I'm sorry I didn't knock. Um, how do you know my name?

???: You know, it really hurts when you forget me a second time. Once in the
     real world and now here...

Misha: I'm Misha. This is my true form.

Lyner: What!? You can't fool me that easily.

Misha: I see...you don't believe me. Well, it is understandable.

Misha: It took me a lot of courage to go through the Paradigm Shift. I was
       expecting this from you, but it's still disappointing...

Lyner: Paradigm Shift!? So it's really you, Misha?

Misha: Yes, I told you so!!

Misha: What do you think of this world after the shift? Isn't it wonderful...?

Lyner: Why is it so dark...?

Misha: I don't know. All I know is that I've been living in this darkness since
       I was born. This is my real world.

Lyner: This...is your real world!? It can't be.

Misha: It's true!

Misha: I was locked up in a dark room since I was born. And, I've been living
       in a dark room ever since...

Misha: All I've been doing is singing.

Lyner: ......

Misha: It's okay. But, I guess telling you this doesn't really change anything.
       Say, wanna go for a walk?

Lyner: Sure.

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... *

Hama: You sound surprised.

Lyner: A little.

Hama: So, which one do you prefer?

Lyner: Wh, what are you talking about!?

Hama: You aren't any fun. Don't you want to go on a date with the glamorous
      Misha?

Lyner: Yeah...

----

* Back at the Constraint House... *

Hama: I was wondering who it was...

Lyner: Hey Hama. So, there's something I've always wanted to ask you...

Hama: ...What is it.

Lyner: Why are you wearing an overall apron?

Hama: ...!! Wow, you noticed I was wearing an overall apron!

Lyner: It's well hidden behind the ocarina, so it's hard to see. So, what's up
       with that?

Hama: ... That's a secret! If you get it right, I'll tell you.

Lyner: U-m... Is it this? You actually have a husband and kid... And you are a
       housewife who protects the household...

Hama: Stop saying such stupid things! Wrong! You're way wrong!

Lyner: Aww...

Hama: Too bad! I guess I can't tell you the reason.

Lyner: Seriously...I won't be able to sleep if you don't tell me.

Hama: In your long lifetime, it's a little more fun to have at least one
      unsolved mystery.

----

* At the Eternal Street... *

Lyner: This is even darker than the night... Lights don't even do much good
       at all...

Misha: ...I know. I can't even enjoy shopping. It's no fun.

Lyner: You think so? I kinda like the atmosphere in this town. It's...nice.

Misha: Thanks. I told you that I'll give you a tour. To tell you the truth,
       this is the only place I can show you around.

Lyner: I see...

Misha: The rest of it is too dark to walk. If we enter the darkness, we could
       easily get lost.

Misha: It's really an ugly world...

Lyner: It's not ugly. I think it looks beautiful.

Misha: You really think so...?

Lyner: Yeah. Besides, if you keep complaining, it'll never get better.

Lyner: I think you should learn to like it. That way, you can enjoy it better.

Misha: But it's too dark to enjoy anything...

Lyner: We can improve it by adding more lights. I'll help you make this world
       more suitable.

Misha: Thanks.

???: Hi there you two.

Lyner: Huh? Who is it?

* A small chunk of ice appears. *

???: I'm right here, young man...

Lyner: Wow, a chunk of ice is talking to me!

Misha: Who are you?

Ice Fairy: I'm an Ice Fairy. I want to get back up the mountain, but it's too
           dark for me to get back.

Ice Fairy: If I don't get back soon, I'll melt away. Will you take me back up?

Misha: An Ice Fairy? You mean, the one who was creating all the snow!?

Ice Fairy: Yes! I know I don't look like it, but I used to make it snow all
           the time.

Lyner: Snow...?

Misha: Don't you know what snow is? It's the breath of an Ice Fairy who lives
       high up in the mountains.

Misha: It's beautiful, and the snow helps to brighten up this dark world.

Misha: It used to snow on an icy mountain. But, it stopped snowing and I'm not
       sure when or why.

Ice Fairy: It's because I got lost. But if I get back up the mountain, I can
           make it snow again.

Misha: It brings back some wonderful memories. I want to see the snow fall
       again.

Ice Fairy: I'm glad to hear that, and I want to make snow, too! It's been
           so long...

Lyner: That's it! We need snow in this world.

Lyner: Let's take the Ice Fairy back up the mountain.

Misha: Yeah...but it's really dark. We'll get lost.

Lyner: Don't worry, it's your world. We can find our way, even in this
       darkness.

Misha: I guess, but...

Lyner: What happened to the confidence you had in level 1? You said your dreams
       come true in this world.

Misha: You're right. It doesn't do us any good to cry about it. Besides, this
       is my world.

Ice Fairy: So, I can really go back up the mountain!? You saved my life!

Misha: ...I don't know for sure yet, but I'll concentrate on my crafting...

Lyner: ......

Misha: I can see it. I found the route to the mountain!

Lyner: Really!?

Ice Fairy: You did it!!

Misha: Yes! I'm certain. I just spoke with this world and crafted the way to
       find the answer!

Lyner: Does that mean you crafted magic?

Misha: I think so. It's not tangible, but I think I can craft Song Magic.

Misha: I crafted the magic that lets me talk to the world and figure out
       the answer.

Lyner: I see...well, we can climb the mountain now, right?

Misha: Yes, I'm sure of it.

Lyner: Then, let's get climbing!

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... *

Hama: It looks like things are going well.

Lyner: Well, it sure seems like it.

Hama: As long as I'm saved, it doesn't matter to me.

----

* At the Frost Mountain... *

Lyner: This is...really dark. Misha, is everything alright?

Misha: ......

Lyner: Misha? Where are you?

Misha: Over here, Lyner!

Lyner: ...I can't see.

Misha: Oh, right. Here, I'll hold your hand...

Lyner: Oh, uh...

Misha: ......

Misha: Here we are! On top of the mountain.

Ice Fairy: Yay! I'm back! Thank you! I'm so happy!

Lyner: What a view...

Misha: Yeah, I know. This is the highest point in my Cosmosphere.

Ice Fairy: Thank you, guys! I'm finally back where I belong!

Misha: So, will you let it snow again?

Ice Fairy: Oh yes, of course! Here goes!

Ice Fairy: ...Huh?

Misha: ...What?

Lyner: Yeah, what's wrong!?

Ice Fairy: My body melted and shrank. I'm not strong enough to make it snow...

Lyner: Are you serious?

Ice Fairy: I'm useless... I can't make it snow with my body like this...

Misha: So...we brought you here, but you still can't make it snow...

Lyner: There's gotta be another way to do this. You can't give up just yet.

Misha: I know...

Misha: Hey, what about this?

Ice Fairy: What is that?

Misha: Ha!

* Misha casts ice magic and the Ice Fairy grows in size. *

Ice Fairy: Ugh! Wh, wh, what are you doing?

Lyner: Hold on! I think you're getting bigger!

Ice Fairy: Oh yes! I am...

Misha: It's working. Let's try it one more time!

* Misha casts another ice magic and the Ice Fairy grows even bigger. *

Ice Fairy: Agh! I'm getting bigger, but it hurts...

Misha: Don't you want to make it snow again? I know I wanna see the snow.
       So, let's work together!

Ice Fairy: ...You're right!

Misha: Okay, now hold on a little longer!

* Misha casts the ice magic again and the Ice Fairy becomes huge. *

Ice Fairy: Agh! I can feel the power!

Misha: Great! So, are you ready?

Ice Fairy: Yes, I think I can make it snow now!

* It snows... *

Lyner: This is...

Misha: Snow! It's snowing!!

Lyner: Misha! You did it!

Misha: Yes, I did. But only because you told me not to give up.

Lyner: But, you did all the work.

Misha: ...I wonder how long it'll take for the snow to stick...

Ice Fairy: It's coming down pretty hard now. It shouldn't take too long.

Misha: You're right! I can't wait to see it!

Misha: Lyner, let's go back to the Inn and watch the snow fall.

Lyner: Alright.

----

* At the Constraint House... *

Misha: ...Do you think it'll keep snowing?

Lyner: I'm sure it'll snow for as long as you want it to.

Misha: It's going to be beautiful...the roofs, the streets...the whole world
       will be blanketed in white.

Lyner: Wow, you really know a lot about things covered in snow.

Misha: ...Actually, I don't know anything about it. That's why I wanna see it
       so badly.

Lyner: What do you mean?

Misha: Until just recently, I didn't even know what the real world was like.
       I just kept singing in a dark room...

Misha: Because of that, this world isn't like the real world. It's based on
       a book I read. It's all fake...

Misha: I was too embarrassed to show you my world of lies and fakeness.
       Especially because you're so important to me...

Lyner: ...You really think it's that bad? I like this world...

Misha: ...You're just saying that...

Lyner: No, I'm serious. This town is so beautiful. In fact, it's so beautiful,
       there's no way that it could've been based on a real village.

Lyner: Just walking around town makes me want to see everything.

Lyner: There's a lot of wonderful things that I've never seen before.

Misha: Lyner...thank you. I hope you get to see all the different wonders of
       my world...

Misha: I'm still a little nervous. But, thanks to your compliments,
       I'm starting to like this place...

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... and light glows at the Stonehenge. *

Lyner: That's a Paradigm Shift!?

Hama: That's right! You better hurry to Stonehenge!

Lyner: Alright!

----

* At the Stonehenge... *

Lyner: It's finally time to move on to the next world.

Misha: I didn't get to see everything covered in snow. That's kinda sad.

Misha: I used to think I had no control over my own world.

Misha: But, I was wrong. I always wanted to see the snow, and now I finally
       got the chance...

Misha: I'm starting to like this place.

Lyner: I'm happy to hear that.

Lyner: There's many wonderful things to find here. I'm surprised to see you
       grow so quickly.

Misha: What?

Lyner: I don't know how to say it, but...I'm not used to seeing you like this.
       I was a little nervous, but this is how you're supposed to look, right?

Misha: Yeah...

Lyner: Well, I guess it doesn't really matter...

Misha: ......

Misha: I should get going.

Misha doesn't know the real world. The reasons were cruel, and were caused by
a painful destiny: the task to save the world. But until she can fulfill her
destiny, her feelings continue to wander for eternity.


* At the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: Wow, everything is covered in snow.

Hama: It's proof that Misha is beginning to like her world.

Lyner: Okay, then she should be fine now.

Hama: It's too early to say. She's more sensitive than you think.

Hama: For instance, this world is dark. Why do you think it's so dark?

Hama: She's still fighting her inner struggles. I need you to understand that.

Lyner: Yeah, you're right.

Hama: Oh, a place called the [Pier] has appeared in this world.

Hama: The Pier is a very important place to Misha. You should visit there
      sometime.

Lyner: Okay. I think I'll go there now.

* At the Pier (Wharf of Endless Calm)... *

Lyner: This is...a strange place. I've never seen anything like this before.
       It's kind of like an airport, but not quite...

???: This is the pier for ships that sail on water.

Lyner: Who are you!?

China Misha: I've been waiting for this ship to arrive. It feels like I've been
             waiting forever...

Lyner: Are you going to board the ship?

China Misha: Yes, I guess...I have to board it to go back to my hometown.

Lyner: I see...

China Misha: It's really boring to just sit here and wait.

Lyner: How long have you been waiting?

China Misha: Well...it's been 4 years.

Lyner: 4 years!? That's such a long time...

China Misha: But it's so important to me that I just had to wait for it...

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: Why is the pier located out here?

Hama: You need to find that out for yourself.

Lyner: Do you know when the ship will arrive?

Hama: I don't know. I think it's up to you.

Lyner: That doesn't help me very much.

----

* At the Wharf of Endless Calm... *

China Misha: Good evening.

Lyner: You're still waiting for the ship?

China Misha: Of course. You never know when it'll come back.

China Misha: But, waiting around here is boring...

China Misha: I know! Why don't you grow a flower with me?

Lyner: ...A flower?

China Misha: Yes, like this one.

* A sprite holding a little sprout appears... *

Flower: ......

Lyner: Huh? This is a flower?

China Misha: Well, what else could it be? I found it the other day in a corner
             of the warehouse. I decided to bring it back.

Lyner: Are you supposed to do that?

China Misha: It's okay. It's supposed to be mine, anyway.

Lyner: What do you want me to do?

China Misha: Come water it every now and then. You'll love this flower, too.

Lyner: O...kay. Sure, I'll come back and water it.

China Misha: Please take good care of it.

----

* At the Wharf of Endless Calm again... *

Flower: ......

China Misha: Are you here to water the flower?

China Misha: You need 1,000 DP to water it. Do you still want to do it?

* Water the flower. *

* The flower has grown. *

Lyner: Whoa!

China Misha: The flower grew so much!

China Misha: It's fun to take care of this flower with you. My days aren't so
             boring anymore.

Lyner: I'm glad.

China Misha: I'm not good with sports, and I'm scared of heights. So, I didn't
             like to play outside when I was little.

China Misha: But, I like to go out to water flowers. It's exciting to see
             them grow.

Lyner: You must like flowers.

China Misha: Yes, very much. The [Tail of Reminiscence] is my favorite place...

China Misha: It's a monument that's surrounded by flowers.

China Misha: We said goodbye at the [Tail of Reminiscence] when I left for
             Em Pheyna.

China Misha: Do you remember?

----

* Another visit to the Wharf of Endless Calm... *

Flower: Lyner...

China Misha: The flower remembers you now. Are you here to water it?

China Misha: You need 1,000 DP to water it. Do you still want to do it?

* Water the flower. *

* The flower has grown into a stalk. *

Lyner: Whoa!

China Misha: The flower grew again!

Lyner: Is this a flower? It looks like a stalk to me. It's kinda strange
       looking...

China Misha: Don't say that!

Lyner: If it was any smaller, I could eat it...

Flower: !!

* The flower is shivering. *

China Misha: Stop! Don't scare the flower!

Lyner: Huh? I've eaten a plant like this before. It's pretty good if you steam
       it with some spices. Do you cook, Misha?

China Misha: No...I don't know how.

Lyner: Really...!?

China Misha: I didn't have time to learn! I've always wanted to, though...

Lyner: Then, we can cook something together. But, I only know how to cook manly
       stuff, though.

China Misha: Manly cooking?

Lyner: Yeah, you know like BBQ ribs, BBQ hot dogs, BBQ burgers... Pretty much
       BBQ anything.

China Misha: ...I don't want you to teach me how to cook.

Lyner: Yeah, I get it...

----

* One more visit to the Wharf of Endless Calm... *

China Misha: Good evening, Lyner!

China Misha: You and the flower are really close. Are you here to water it?

China Misha: You need 1,000 DP to water it. Do you still want to do it?

* Water the flower. *

* The flower has grown into a big tree. *

Lyner: Whoa!

China Misha: The flower grew again!

Lyner: Is this a flower? Are you really sure about this!?

China Misha: You worry about the minor details too much!

Lyner: I can't help it!

China Misha: You're right. Thanks to your love and care, it's getting bigger
             than I expected.

Lyner: Yeah, the kind of love that's big enough to turn a flower into a tree...

Flower: Lyner, Misha, thank you for taking care of me.

Flower: I've grown enough. It's time for me to repay you for your love.

Flower: Please use me for your magic, Misha. I'll be useful.

China Misha: Really!? Thank you!

Lyner: Good for you.

----

* One last visit to the Wharf of Endless Calm in a while... *

China Misha: Good evening, Lyner.

China Misha: There's no flower to water any more. I miss it.

----

* At the Life Tower... *

Hama: So, you really come to the Cosmosphere often. Is the real world alright?

Lyner: Whoa, whoa, I might come in often, but it's not like I dive so often
       that I can't do anything in the real world.

Hama: If you say so. I don't have a relative sense of time of the real world,
      so I don't really know.

Hama: So then, what do you normally do in your real world?

Lyner: What do I do? I accept missions from Lady Shurelia, and look for
       crystals.

Hama: Hmm-, that's the kind of things you do. So is everyday kind of tough
      for you?

Lyner: Not really tough... It's just that I never know what will happen
       everyday. And I confront death often.

Hama: ...

Hama: Then aren't you pretty stressed? Do you relieve it with some hobbies
      or something?

Lyner: It doesn't really cause me stress. I've been doing dangerous jobs since
       I was in Platina.

Lyner: Well, there is one thing, I really miss eating Funbuns! Ahaha!

Hama: Funbuns...? A snack...?

Lyner: ...Huh? What's wrong?

Hama: ... Nothing. I was just about to faint from the super destruction of
      your image.

Lyner: What's that supposed to mean?

Hama: You're such a kid. You're all grown up now, so get a more adult hobby.

Lyner: ...For example?

Hama: Heh!? F, for example...!? Um...

Hama: Having evening drinks...

Lyner: ...Evening drinks...

Lyner: Hama, you're like an old man...

Hama: N, no! I just said that to match you! I don't have that kind of hobby!

Lyner: I, I know. But it's weird for you to come up with "evening drinks" of
       all things.

Hama: I... I didn't want to say it either! I tried to match your image and
      that's what came to me!

Hama: Now! Stop wasting your time here! Just go back to reality and eat
      your Funbuns!

Lyner: Alright, alright...

----

* At the Eternal Street... *

Lyner: This town is so white...just like she said. Snow made the world
       brighter.

Lyner: It's beautiful and fantastic. It's a little cold, though.

???: Excuse me.

* Aurica in her Skuwat outfit appears. *

Lyner: Whoa! Aurica!? What are you doing here, and why are you dressed
       like that!?

Aurica: I'm...cold...

Lyner: You must be. I mean dressed like that.

???: Lyner!?

* Child Misha in her Magical Shower outfit appears. *

Misha: You're here! I'm so happy! Look, isn't the snow beautiful?

Lyner: W, wait! What happened to you!? You got smaller again...

Aurica: Maybe...are you the Song Fairy? Can you please do me a favor and give
        me something warm to wear? I'm freezing.

Lyner: Song Fairy!?

Misha: Human, are you really cold? Fine, I'll give you something, so go away.

* Misha crafts the Ice Guard. *

Ice Guard: Did you call me?

Misha: Ice Guard, this human is cold. Give her something.

Ice Guard: No problem!

* Aurica changes to her Don Leon outfit. *

Aurica: It's really warm! Thank you so much, Song Fairy!

Lyner: Aurica!?

Misha: Why do I have to do a favor for a girl whom I don't even know...?

Lyner: Misha? What's with this Song Fairy?

Misha: The Song Fairy is the one who sacrifices herself to make other people's
       dreams come true. Right now, I'm the Song Fairy.

Misha: But, I'm sick of doing this. I don't wanna do favors for people that
       I don't even know.

Misha: I just wanna be a regular human...

Lyner: But, you are a human, right?

Misha: What are you talking about? I said I'm the Song Fairy, not a Human.

Misha: A Song Fairy is a machine made to serve Humans.

Lyner: (Why does everything sound so confusing...?)

Misha: I know! Lyner, I have a favor to ask you! Help me become a Human.
       I'm sick of being a Song Fairy!

Lyner: Why are you asking me all of a sudden...? I don't even know what to do
       about it.

Misha: There is only one way for a Song Fairy to transform into a Human.

Misha: I need a special medicine from the [Shaman] who lives in the mountains.

Lyner: Wow, that's some medicine...

Misha: Yeah, so I need to go up into the mountains. Will you come with me?

Lyner: Well, I guess I can.

Misha: Great! Let's do it!

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... *

Hama: You did it again.

Lyner: What did I do?

Hama: You hurt her unconsciously. That's why she's small again.

Lyner: I didn't know that.

----

* At the Eternal Street again... *

Spica: ...Oh, you are...

Lyner: Spica... Even you're here...

Spica: Shush! Don't address me simply by my name!

Lyner: Eh!?

Spica: You must call me, your Lady Queen.

Lyner: L, Lady... Queen?

Spica: Now, hurry!!

Lyner: Y, yes!! M, my Lady Queen!

Spica: Ah...such a beautiful sound. I'm going to melt...

Lyner: ...What? Was Spica this kind of person?

Lyner: (Maybe it's a part of Spica I still don't know about... Which means,
       I wonder if Misha calls her Lady Queen all the time too...)

Spica: Now then, Lyner.

Lyner: ...Huh?

Spica: Your answer is always yes!!

Lyner: Y, yes!!

Spica: Such a good child. ...Ahh, it feels so good...

Lyner: ...

Spica: Well then, I must go get prepared to rule this world, so I leave Misha
       to you.

Lyner: Eh!? What!? Wh, what am I supposed to be left with!?

Spica: You do that part well on you own. Bye-bye.

Lyner: (I, I don't get it... What is wrong with this world...)

----

* At the Frost Mountain... *

Lyner: Wow, it's really cold. Much colder than level 1.

Misha: Of course. An Ice Fairy lived on this mountain.

???: Did someone call me!?

Misha: Ice Fairy! You look fine.

Ice Fairy: Thanks. Oh, it's you...

Lyner: Do you remember me?

Ice Fairy: Of course. You saved me on a previous level. How can I forget you?

Ice Fairy: Oh, I want to pay you back for what you've done for me. I think
           there's enough snow for a while, so I can help you now.

Misha: Are you sure?

Ice Fairy: Yeah. You can call me whenever you need me.

Misha: Really!? Thank you!

Misha: Do you know where the [Shaman] lives?

Ice Fairy: Sure. I can take you to him.

Misha: Great!

Ice Fairy: I usually find him around here. Hey Shaman, where are you?

* A little kid on a floating bottle-like object appears. *

Shaman: Did you call for me?

Ice Fairy: Hello, Shaman.

Lyner: You're the Shaman!?

Misha: I can't believe it.

Shaman: But if you don't, I'll die!

Misha: No! I didn't mean it like that! I have a favor to ask you. I want to be
       a regular Human.

Shaman: You're a Song Fairy, right? I get visitors who ask for that all the
        time. It's no problem, I'll fix something for you.

Shaman: Oh, this is my last one. Don't waste it.

Misha: Wow, thank you. I'm gonna be a Human.

Shaman: Oh, you should go somewhere quiet to take your medicine. An Inn would
        be perfect.

Misha: Alright!

Misha: Now, I can be a Human! I don't have to guard Humans anymore.

Lyner: Hey, Misha. Don't you like to make people's dreams come true?

Misha: I didn't say that. It's just...not fair. Everyone else is having fun,
       but I have to work...

Lyner: ......

Misha: It's not fair that I work hard while everyone else is out having fun!

Misha: I'm just a robot, so I shouldn't complain about work, right?
       But, I'm sick of it!

----

* At the Constraint House... *

Misha: I can finally become a Human!

Lyner: Yeah, but are you sure you aren't going to miss being a Song Fairy?

Misha: No! I won't have to take care of Humans anymore. I'm gonna be so happy.

Misha: Then...

* Someone knocks on the door. *

Cinna: Someone just collapsed outside! I tried to heal the person, but my power
       isn't strong enough.

Cinna: I saw a Song Fairy go in there. Maybe she can help.

Lyner: Someone collapsed!? C'mon Misha, let's go!

Misha: ...Okay.

* At the Eternal Street... *

Cinna: This way!

Krusche: No...I think I'm gonna die...

Cinna: You'll be fine! A Song Fairy is here!

Krusche: A Song Fairy!? So I'll be okay...?

Misha: W, wait! I never agreed to save you!

Krusche: What?

Misha: I quit being a Song Fairy! So, I don't save humans anymore!

Lyner: Misha! How dare you say that! You don't have to be a Song Fairy to
       want to save people. Humans also try to save people who desperately
       need help!

Misha: Okay! I'll save her if that's what you want! But this is the last time!

Misha: Ha!!

Krusche: Am I...gonna feel better...?

Cinna: ...It doesn't look like it.

Misha: H, huh? It should've worked. What's happening...?

Krusche: No, it's not working.

Krusche: It's okay...thanks anyway. The doctor told me that I won't make it,
         so there's nothing a Song Fairy can do.

Lyner: Hey, what about the Shaman's medicine.

Misha: No! I need it!!

Lyner: Someone is dying right now!

Misha: But if the medicine doesn't work, it'll be a total waste. I'll regret it
       for the rest of my life!

Lyner: But, what if it does work?

Misha: No! You don't understand how I feel!

* Misha runs away. *

Lyner: Misha!!

Lyner: Let's at least take Krusche to the inn!

Cinna: Uh, okay!

* At the Constraint House... *

Lyner: She should be okay for now, but she's still in critical condition...

Cinna: I'm worried about Misha, too...

Cinna: Misha doesn't want to sing for complete strangers any more.

Lyner: She doesn't want to sing...

Lyner: Anyway, we have to find Misha.

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: Do you know where Misha is?

Hama: I don't know. It's not like I know everything.

Lyner: ...Great.

----

* At the Stonehenge... *

Lyner: Misha!

Misha: ......

Lyner: There you are! I was worried about you.

Misha: Lyner...what am I living for?

Lyner: Well, that's a tough question...

Misha: I'm not asking you philosophically.

Misha: Ever since I left Platina, I've been singing all alone in one place
       for days on end...

Misha: I didn't know anything about the outside world. I wasn't allowed
       to know.

Misha: I never got to live a normal life, like those I read about in books.

Misha: So, what am I living for? I wish I didn't have any feelings, so that
       I would sing forever and not care about anything else...

Misha: It would be so much easier that way. If I was just a singing doll,
       I wouldn't have to suffer like this...

Lyner: Misha...

Misha: But...I thought it over, and I realized that my selfishness shouldn't
       get in the way of saving Krusche's life.

Misha: Obviously, there's nothing more important than saving someone's life.

Misha: If you die, it's all over. But, as long as you live, you will always
       have a chance...

???: Are you sure?

Misha: ...Huh?

* Shinobi Misha appears. *

Lyner: Who are you!? Are you Misha!?

Shinobi Misha: Of course I'm Misha. But, I come from a world that is still
               unknown to your feeble mind.

Shinobi Misha: You guys can't even touch me now.

Lyner: ......

Shinobi Misha: Misha, are you sure about this? I thought you wanted to be free.

Misha: Free...I...

Shinobi Misha: What do you get out of saving someone you don't even know?
               You should be taking care of yourself before worrying about
               anything else.

Lyner: What!? You can't just barge in here and trick her into doing whatever
       you want her to do.

Shinobi Misha: The same can be said of you.

Shinobi Misha: You're an outsider. Leave her alone. I'm trying to make
               Misha happy.

Shinobi Misha: Misha, take the medicine the shaman gave you. Then, you can
               enjoy the life you deserve.

Lyner: Misha...

Misha: ...I want to save Krusche. My life is important, but her life is just
       as important.

Misha: I don't need the medicine to live. I'll have other chances to be free.

Misha: But if she dies...she'll never get a second chance.

Shinobi Misha: So, that is your answer. You decision will weigh heavily on
               your deeper feelings.

Shinobi Misha: You need to make decisions that are based on your true emotions.
               Otherwise, you will never break the bonds of your heart.
               Keep that in mind.

Misha: Bonds of my heart...

Shinobi Misha: I'll be back when you need me...

Misha: ...She's gone.

Lyner: Let's go back to the Inn. We have to save Krusche. She's in a lot
       of pain.

Misha: You're right...

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: Maybe I'm dumb, but I just don't understand you sometimes...

Hama: It's not your fault. Misha is just so much smarter than you.

Lyner: ...Leave me alone.

Hama: The problem is, you don't know very much about her. You need to get to
      know her before you can understand her.

Lyner: ...Yeah, well, that really doesn't help me right now.

----

* At the Constraint House... *

Cinna: Lyner! Misha!

Misha: Sorry I'm late. I'm gonna cure Krusche for real this time.

Misha: But, I can't do it myself, so I have to use this medicine.

Cinna: What!? But, that medicine's for...

Misha: No. It's okay...I'll get another chance. But, if I don't help her now,
       it's over.

Misha: Here goes...

Krusche: ...Uh...ugh? Wha....?

Misha: So, how do you feel?

Krusche: I feel...great. I can't believe how sick I was...

Misha: So, you're okay?

Krusche: I think so! Oh, thank you, mythical Song Fairy! Thank you...thank you
         very much...

Misha: I'm happy for you...

Misha: Lyner, does it always feel this good to save someone?

Misha: I used to think that helping others was a waste of time. But now...
       I have this warm and fuzzy feeling inside.

Misha: I did the right thing because you were brave enough to confront my
       true feelings...

* The Shaman suddenly appears. *

Shaman: So, you feel warm and fuzzy inside? That is good news.

Misha: Hey, you're the shaman!

Shaman: When seeing others happy makes you happy, you start to feel a warm
        sensation inside.

Shaman: When your heart is full of this warm sensation, you will want to share
        it with others. And, that leads to helping each other.

Shaman: Until now, Misha, you had never felt such warmth before.

Shaman: That is why you were hesitant to help.

Shaman: But now that you know that the warmth comes from helping others, do you
        think you can begin to enjoy helping others?

Misha: ...I do!

Shaman: That's wonderful! Seeing how vibrant you are makes me want to help
        others, too, Misha.

Shaman: I have the power to [Cleanse]. Please use me whenever the need arises.

Misha: Wait! Does that mean...?

Shaman: You should craft it into Song Magic.

Misha: Okay! I will!

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... and light glows at the Stonehenge. *

Lyner: There's another Paradigm Shift! Misha, you've grown another level.

----

* At the Stonehenge... *

Misha: Thank you, Lyner. I'm sorry you have to keep visiting all of my
       strange worlds...

Misha: I don't know what the next one will be like, but I'd love for you to
       come and see it with me.

Lyner: Of course.

Lyner: So, uh, why are you so small again? That's not how you're supposed to
       look, is it?

Misha: ...Well, I don't wanna grow up...

Lyner: Huh?

Misha: Oh, nothing. C'mon, let's go!

Lyner: Hey, wait!

* Outside the Cosmosphere before returning to reality... *

Lyner: She doesn't want to grow up... I wonder if something bad will happen
       if she does...

Lyner: Or, it might be like Hama said. Did I hurt the big Misha...?

Her feelings of not wanting to become adult has stopped time in this world.
Is it because of her overwhelming destiny? Or is it because of a careless
remark that was made by someone important to her?


* At the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: Whoa, what's this!? Everything's covered with thorns.

Hama: You're finally at level 4. You should've expected something like this.

Lyner: I thought that the higher the level, the more beautiful it gets.

Hama: It's not that easy.

Hama: To grow up, you have to reveal your long hidden secrets and find
      solutions for them.

Hama: There are many unsolved matters and secrets inside the mind.

Hama: Once you grow, you have to reveal them. You can only grow emotionally by
      facing your secrets and finding solutions for them.

Lyner: I...see...

Hama: So as levels advance, Misha's ugly sides will be revealed.

Hama: Supporting Misha won't be easy. But no matter how ugly it gets, you have
      to accept her for who she is and help her.

Lyner: That's...why I'm here...

Hama: If you dived without knowing the magnitude of your role, you should
      leave now.

Hama: ...You still don't remember me?

Lyner: Huh!? Remember...what?

Hama: ...Never mind. I should've known better.

----

* At the Stonehenge... *

Krusche: ...

Lyner: Huh? Hey, Krusche. I never thought you would be here.

Krusche: You, shut up. I'm making an airship! I can't concentrate on working
         unless you stay quiet.

Lyner: I, I'm sorry...

Krusche: ...

Lyner: ... ...

Krusche: ... ... ...

Lyner: ... ... ... ...

Lyner: But you're only standing and not doing anything!

Krusche: No, I really want to work but I have no idea how I'm going to plan it.

Lyner: What?

Lyner: (Oh yeah! Even though she may look like Krusche, it's only Misha's
       image...)

Krusche: Lyner, be careful. Your fortune for today is extremely bad.

Lyner: That doesn't sound good...

Krusche: ...I just wanted to say it.

Lyner: (Something is just really weird. I guess Krusche is mysterious
       to Misha...)

----

* At the Frost Mountain... *

Hama: I was wondering who it was...

Lyner: Hey Hama. So, there's something I've always wanted to ask you...

Hama: ...What now?

Lyner: Those cat ears and bells... What are they? Or like, do those bells
       even jingle?

Hama: They're just for decoration, so no, they don't jingle.

Lyner: But then there'd be no meaning to the bells.

Hama: Well. Then I guess the drums on Misha's hair have no meaning too.
      Or would you want to beat those drums?

Lyner: If I do that, Misha would kill me...

Hama: My bells are the same. They're just accents. Fashion, you know?

Lyner: (Somehow her sense of fashion is a little off...)

Hama: ...What!?

Lyner: J, just thinking it's so cute! Ahaha!

Hama: ...I wonder.

----

* At the Eternal Street... *

Lyner: It's so hard to walk...ouch...

Lyner: I'm getting sick of these thorns...

Lyner: Maybe I'm just not welcome here...

???: That's not true.

* Child Misha in her Pajamas (Sheep Sweets) outfit appears. *

Misha: I was getting bored! Play with me!

Lyner: W, wait Misha!? Why are you wearing pajamas. Are you gonna play
       in those?

Misha: What's wrong with playing in pajamas? Besides, it's night. You should
       be wearing pajamas, too.

Misha: C'mon, let's play everywhere!

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: She's acting really childish. This isn't like her at all...

Hama: Extreme mood swings indicate animosity, so you better watch her
      carefully.

Lyner: Right...

----

* At the Eternal Street again... *

Hama: I was wondering who was here. It's just you.

Lyner: Oh Hama, it's you.

Hama: I'm sorry it's just me. I know I'm of no merit to you.

Lyner: You're wrong. When I'm with you, I feel kind of relaxed, but I don't
       really know why.

Hama: Wh, what are you talking about? I'm only mean to you. Or are you...
      A masochist?

Lyner: Of course not...

Lyner: But it is true that I feel relaxed when I'm with you. I wonder why...

Hama: ... That's...

Hama: That's probably because... I'm your...

Lyner: I know! Those ears!

Hama: ...Huh?

Lyner: Those cat ears are what makes me feel calm. You see, I actually really
       like cats!

Hama: ...

Lyner: And bells! That bell gives it a nice feel too!

Hama: I was the stupid one when I thought I could trust you for even a moment.

Lyner: Huh? ...Wh, what's wrong all of a sudden!?

Hama: Forget it! Go away!

Lyner: Whaa!!

----

* At Misha's House... *

Misha: What!? It's bedtime already? No, I want to play some more!

Misha: Let's go somewhere else!

----

* At the Frost Mountain... *

Misha: Lyner! This way!

Lyner: Whoa...it's freezing...

Misha: You're too sensitive! I know, let's have a snowball fight! It'll warm
       you up!

Lyner: But, my hands'll freeze!

Misha: You're no fun. Let's go somewhere else!

----

* At the Stonehenge... *

Misha: This ruin is an exciting place! Maybe we can find a secret entrance
       or something!

Misha: Let's play hide and seek!

Lyner: W, wait!

Misha: Okay. I'll hide!

Lyner: ...Alright.

Lyner: Hey, Misha...where are you?

Lyner: I'm getting tired. Will you please come out now?

Misha: You're tired already? Too bad.

Lyner: Where did you come from?

Misha: I was transparent.

Lyner: Hey! That's cheating!

Misha: Uh oh! I better run away before you catch me!

Lyner: *sigh*

----

* At the Life Tower... *

Misha: I wonder how far this tower goes...

Lyner: Well if you don't know, then I guess no one does.

Misha: I wonder what's on the other side of this door. I know that I can't
       go in, but I'm still curious.

Lyner: I know.

----

* At the Sleeping Forest... *

Misha: You can't enter this forest!!

Lyner: Huh!? Why not...?

Misha: Because I said so! Don't enter this forest!

Misha: I'm getting tired. Let's go home.

----

* At Misha's House... *

???: Misha! I told you not to stay out so late!

* Shurelia plays Misha's mother. *

Misha: Oh! Mom, I'm sorry!

Mother: I didn't even notice when you left. I was worried about you...

Misha: But...you're always too busy studying. You never play with me...

Mother: You don't have time to play! You have to grow up...

Misha: I don't wanna grow up! You can't make me!

Mother: Misha, stop being such a baby!

Lyner: Excuse me...

Misha: Lyner! Save me from this mean, old lady!

Mother: I'm not a mean old lady! Besides, who are you? Are you trying to
        kidnap her with candy?

Lyner: Hi, Misha's mom. I'm Lyner. I think we've met before...or maybe not...

Mother: What? I don't know you. Well...maybe I do know you...

Mother: Who are you? How do I know you? And, will you go out with me?

Lyner: Wh, what!?

Misha: Mom! Are you outta your mind? Stop trying to seduce my friends!

Mother: I...don't even know what's happening anymore...

Lyner: Huh...?

Mother: You've been playing around too much. As punishment, you'll have to
        grow up now.

Misha: What! N, no! Please don't!

Mother: Ah ah! Let's go to the forest now.

Misha: No! I'm not going to the forest!

* Misha's mother drags Misha away to the forest. *

Misha: Lyner! Help me!

Lyner: Misha...!?

Lyner: ...Forest? Is it the same forest Misha told me not to enter?

----

* At the Sleeping Forest... *

Lyner: This must be the forest Misha used to visit with her mom...

Lyner: So, why does Misha hate this forest...?

???: ...No!

Lyner: What was that voice!? It came from over there!

Mother: Misha! Don't be so selfish!

Misha: No! I don't want to! I don't want to ever grow up!

Lyner: ...Misha?

Misha: Lyner! Don't come any closer!

Mother: Lyner, will you please talk some sense into her? She says she doesn't
        want to grow up...

Lyner: Please calm down, ma'am. She'll have to grow up eventually. She's just
       not ready yet.

Mother: Don't you know anything? She's already grown up. She's just
        masquerading as a child so she can act foolish.

Lyner: What!?

Mother: Come over here and take a closer look!

Misha: No! Stay back!

* A grown up Misha body is seen hanging there... *

Lyner: What!? Misha, you're all grown up!

Mother: Yeah. This is how she's supposed to look...

Misha: No! This isn't the real me!

Misha: I hate this body! Don't make me break it!

* Misha casts attack magic. *

Mother: Agh!

Lyner: Gah!

Mother: Stop that! You can't break your body with that!

Misha: Then, I'll craft a Song strong enough to destroy this body in one blast!

* Misha runs away. *

Lyner: Misha!

Mother: I'm sorry to drag you into this...

Lyner: What happened to her? Why is she acting like that?

Mother: She discarded her grown body so that she could remain a child...

Mother: She always dreaded growing up and losing her freedom.

Mother: She has an important destiny to fulfill...

Mother: She stopped whining recently, and began acting like an adult.

Mother: Then, not so long ago, she decided she had enough of being a grown up
        and discarded her normal, grown up body...

Mother: No one knows why she did it. Perhaps she has a new problem...

Lyner: Could it be...that I'm the reason...?

Mother: Please stop Misha from destroying herself.

Mother: If she succeeds, she may even disappear!

Lyner: What!?

Mother: She looked very determined. She is capable of crafting a Song
        powerful enough...

Mother: You have to stop her before she gets that far. Please...

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: What did I get myself into...?

Hama: ......

Lyner: What is it now?

Hama: You may not have caused this mess in the first place, but now, you're
      responsible for it.

Lyner: Yeah, yeah, I know... Now, I gotta go find her.

----

* At the Life Tower... *

Lyner: Misha!

Misha: I found out how to destroy my grown body.

Lyner: Stop it! You might kill yourself by doing it!

Misha: I'd rather die than be a grown up! See you later!

Lyner: Misha!

Misha: Why are you stopping me?

Lyner: I can't let you die!

Misha: But if I don't do something, I'll grow up. And then you'll hate me!

Lyner: Hate you!?

Misha: So, get outta my way!!

* Misha casts the Gaia Bombard song magic. *

Lyner: Guh!!

Lyner: So powerful...

* Lyner faints. *

Lyner: ...! Damn! Where is she!?

Lyner: She must've returned to the forest. I gotta hurry!

----

* At the Sleeping Forest... *

Lyner: Great! She hasn't done it yet.

Misha: I was waiting for you. I wanted you to see me destroy my grown body.

Misha: Then you'll see that this is the true me, and then we'll be together
       forever...

Lyner: It doesn't matter to me if you're a child or a grown up. Please, don't
       do anything crazy!

Misha: You're lying! You can't guarantee that you won't change your mind.
       You might not like me if I grow up!

Misha: You might even hate me! So I have to get rid of it!

Lyner: Misha...do you really want to do this?

Misha: Of course. It's too painful not being able to be who you really are...
       And it hurts even more when someone likes the fake parts of you...

Misha: You're nice to the little Misha, but that doesn't mean that you'll be
       nice to the big Misha.

Lyner: That's not true. It doesn't matter if you're big or small.
       You're still Misha.

Misha: How can you prove it? Show me proof that you'll still like big Misha!

Misha: If you can show it to me, I won't destroy my grown body.

Lyner: ...Alright.

* Lyner stands in front of Misha's grown body. *

Misha: Lyner!? What are you doing?

Lyner: Do it. If you want to destroy big Misha, then go ahead.

Misha: You're in the way. I don't wanna hurt you, so move!

Lyner: No. I'm here to protect Misha. Both Mishas, big and little, are
       important to me.

Lyner: If little Misha wants to destroy big Misha, there's only one way I can
       stop her.

Misha: You can't stop me!

Lyner: Then go ahead and do it. Even if you destroy me, it'll still protect
       big Misha!

Misha: No. I can't destroy you...

Misha: You're so great. You're determined to protect me, no matter what.

Misha: I guess I must look pretty pathetic...trying to destroy myself to make
       you like me better...

Misha: Lyner, I'm not going to destroy the grown up me. I want to face you
       head on.

Misha: I'll take a chance. If you don't like the grown up me, oh well. I have
       to accept the fact that your feelings for me aren't strong.

Misha: I made up my mind. I realized that there's something else I need to
       destroy.

Lyner: ...Something else?

Misha: Yes. But to do so, I need to go to the Stonehenge. Will you come
       with me?

Lyner: ...Yes.

----

* At the Stonehenge... *

Lyner: So, what is it that you want to destroy?

Misha: The fake me...

Lyner: The fake Misha...?

Misha: Yes. Just like my mom said, this small Misha... it's not real.

Misha: The real Misha is all grown up. In the real world, I'm really 18.
       So, of course I don't really look like this.

Misha: So I'm going to destroy this body, and the whole fake world that
       I created!

Lyner: Misha! Wait!

Misha: I'm gonna do it!

* Misha casts the Gaia Bombard song magic. *

Lyner: Whoa! It's shaking really hard! This place is gonna collapse!

* The Stonehenge glows. *

Lyner: Is that the Paradigm Shift!?

Misha: Yes! I'm through with this lousy world!

Misha: I'm leaving now! Please don't hate me when I grow up!

* Misha runs and disappears into the light. *

Lyner: Misha!

Her unfinished childhood hides in the shadow of her everyday life and
unconsciously influences herself. Deep within are her impulses and desires
that have been pushed away. The scars of her past could be hindering her
current growth.


* At the Stonehenge... *

Lyner: I'm finally at level 5.

Lyner: Some wild stuff happened on the previous level, so I was expecting a
       mess...but this doesn't look too bad.

* Adult Misha in her Sailor Girl outfit appears. *

Misha: L, Lyner? What are you doing here?

Lyner: ...Misha!?

Lyner: What are you doing here...and why are you dressed like that...!?

Misha: ...Huh? This is how all students are supposed to dress...

Lyner: Hmm...I just didn't expect to see you here.

Misha: That's because...I don't want to go home...

Lyner: ...I see...

Lyner: (She's often like that...)

* At the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: All the thorns are gone...

Lyner: ......

Lyner: Huh...? What's that building in the middle? It looks like a mirage...

Lyner: But, everything else looks normal. This world is the most realistic
       so far.

----

* At the Life Tower... *

Hama: Hey, you. Why are you here today?

Lyner: Why... Well you're not really the reason I came here.

Ham: Oh, I'm sorry then.

Lyner: Anyway, you're always around whenever I come here, but do you get enough
       sleep? Don't overwork yourself.

Hama: I'm not overworking, and we mind guardians don't need sleep.

Lyner: I see... That's horrible.

Hama: ...Why!

Lyner: Because, sleeping is one of life's most enjoyable things. If you don't
       do that, it's like wasting away 1/3 of your life.

Hama: Stop thinking on your own level.

Hama: First of all, you can't do anything when you're sleeping, right? It's a
      waste of time. And you say weird things without knowing it.

Lyner: Huh? Weird things...? What do you mean?

Hama: Misha says a lot. Almost everyday.

Hama: Like "Ungh" or "Moheh" or "Ah, no..." or "Lyner, not in here..." or...

Lyner: You mean talking in her sleep!? But those last words kind of caught my
       attention...

Hama: You don't remember those right? I can't stand to go through such
      embarrassment.

Lyner: I, I see... But if I said that in my sleep, I would be a little
       embarrassed too.

Hama: If those were your words, it's super embarrassing.

----

* Outside Misha's House... *

Misha: Are you sure you want to come in?

Lyner: Don't you want me to?

Misha: ...No, it's not that. I'm just a little embarrassed...

Misha: It's kind of extreme...but don't worry about it...

Lyner: Extreme...!?

* Inside Misha's House... *

???: I need more sake! Bring me more sake!

* Lyner's father plays Misha's father. *

Lyner: ...! Wh, what!?

???: Father! Stop it!

* Shurelia plays Misha's sister. *

Misha: This...is normal for us...

Sister: Father, we can't afford to buy you any more...

Dad: ...What did you say!? Can't afford more!? Then sell your clothes and make
     some money!

* Dad hits Sister. *

Sister: Guh!

Lyner: Dad! Stop it! What are you doing!?

Dad: Dad!? Who are you? I don't know you!

Misha: Father, please!

Dad: Misha, you're home. Where've you been? I need sake! Bring me some
     more sake!

Misha: We don't have any sake! Are you drunk again?

Dad: How dare you speak to your father like that!

Misha: You always have your way and say whatever you want! Why don't you ever
       consider other people's feelings?

Dad: You're just a kid! You need to learn to obey your parents!

Misha: No!

* Misha casts magic on Dad. *

Dad: Guh!! You!? You attacked your own father with magic!?

Dad: That's it! You're out of here! And, don't come back till you bring me
     more sake!

* At the Eternal Street... *

Misha: I've had enough. I don't want to ever come back home.

Sister: You can't do that. We're a family. Father will worry about you if you
        don't come home.

Sister: Let's get some sake and come home. I've heard we might be able to find
        imported sake at the pier warehouse. Let's go check it out.

Misha: Big sis is always too nice to father...

Misha: Lyner, I'm sorry that you had to see that. I'm so embarrassed...

Lyner: No, don't worry about it.

Sister: Oh, is he your friend? Good evening, I'm Misha's big sister.

Lyner: Hi.

Sister: ...Is he your boyfriend?

Misha: N, no he's not!

Sister: I see...then, will you go out with me...?

Lyner: Wh, what!?

Misha: No!! You can't do that! Big sis, you can't ask him that! What's wrong
       with you!?

Sister: I...don't even know why I asked...

Lyner: (...I think this happened before...)

----

* At the Wharf of Endless Calm... *

China Misha: Good evening. What's up?

Lyner: I heard that you have imported sake here...

China Misha: Yes we do. It's only 10,000 leaf right now.

Misha: 10,000 leaf!? I don't have that kind of money!

China Misha: I guess you wouldn't. Then why don't we have a drinking
             competition. If you win, I'll give you a bottle for free.

Misha: I can't drink sake!

China Misha: It doesn't have to be you. It could be the young man or the lady
             next to you. Or you can bring a friend.

Sister: I can't drink sake. What about you, Lyner?

Lyner: I don't drink at all!

Misha: Then I guess we don't even have a contestant.

Lyner: Don't we know anyone who can drink a lot?

Sister: I don't know anyone...

Lyner: ...Okay, why don't we look around and find someone who can.

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: Hama can't drink a lot...

Hama: I don't even drink anything!

Lyner: Hmm, what's wrong with this world? I didn't know Misha had a
       dysfunctional family.

Hama: ...You...think this is about Misha's family? It's not that simple.
      It's called [Rewriting].

Lyner: Rewriting...?

Hama: You rewrite past experiences into something more obvious. So he might
      appear to be a drunk here, but the real world problem is something else.

Lyner: I see...so, maybe something happened between my father and Misha...

Hama: Good guess...

----

* At the Frost Mountain... *

Lyner: We have to find someone who can out drink the Misha at the Pier.

Bourd: Hey, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you here.

Lyner: It's Bourd! What should we do?

Lyner: Oh, wait... Hey, do you drink a lot?

Bourd: Of course. Nobody has ever out drank me before!

Lyner: Then I'll let you drink a lot of sake. Come with me!

Bourd: ...Huh?

* At the Wharf of Endless Calm... *

China Misha: Welcome back. Is he your contestant? He looks like he can drink
             a lot.

Bourd: Oh, it's you. You can't beat me.

China Misha: You think so? Then I won't go easy on you.

Bourd: Oh, I'm so scared...

* Bourd is drunk. *

Bourd: ...I can't drink any more...

China Misha: Oh, that's it? I thought you could do better.

Lyner: It didn't work...

----

* At the Sleeping Forest... *

Lyner: We need to find someone who can out drink China Misha...

Jack: Lyner? Misha!? Are you two out on a date?

Lyner: No, no. We're looking for someone. Say Jack, you like to drink right?

Jack: Of course. I like to drink more than just with my three meals a day.

Lyner: I'll let you drink a lot, so come with me.

* At the Wharf of Endless Calm... *

China Misha: Oh, welcome back. Is he your contestant? He sure looks like he can
             drink a lot.

Jack: I love to drink. I also love beautiful ladies, like yourself.

China Misha: Thanks for the compliment, but I won't go easy on you.

Jack: Well, let's enjoy this evening to the fullest.

* Jack is drunk. *

Jack: Zzzz zzzz zzzz...

China Misha: He fell asleep? He had quite a lot but he still couldn't beat me.

Lyner: It didn't work...

----

* At the Eternal Street... *

Lyner: We have to find someone who can out drink the Misha at the Pier.

Radolf: Oh, it's you Lyner.

Lyner: Radolf! Good timing. Can you drink a lot of sake?

Radolf: Sake? Sure I can. I can out drink anyone!

Lyner: (...A cardinal shouldn't say that...but, I guess it's okay since we're
       inside Misha's mind...)

Lyner: Then why don't you come with me. You can drink sake for free.

*At the Wharf of Endless Calm... *

China Misha: Welcome back. Who's this?

Lyner: He's our contestant for the drinking match.

China Misha: Nice to meet you. But, I won't go easy on you.

Radolf: Alright! Let's begin!

* Radolf is drunk. *

Radolf: I can't...drink...any more...

China Misha: You gave up already. I thought you could do better.

Lyner: It didn't work...

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: We need to come up with a better plan.

Lyner: Let's go to the Eternal Town to plan a new strategy.

----

* At the Eternal Street... *

Lyner: I can't think of anyone who can out drink Misha at the Pier. We lost
       every match.

Misha: But, we have to keep looking.

???: You guys are in trouble.

* A mechanical rabbit with a clock appears. *

Lyner: You! I remember you...

Watch Mecha Rabbit: Oh, I'm honored. Please call me Mecha Rabbit.

Watch Mecha Rabbit: By the way, you can't beat China Misha that easily.

Watch Mecha Rabbit: She's a high level Misha, so her feelings are very strong
                    and determined.

Watch Mecha Rabbit: She can't be easily beaten once she's determined to win.

Lyner: So, residents of this world...

Watch Mecha Rabbit: You have to find someone really special to beat her. And if
                    you have any doubt in your contestant, you've already lost.

Misha: Then, we have no chance of winning?

Watch Mecha Rabbit: It's up to you. You're the administrator of this world.

Watch Mecha Rabbit: You have to find someone who can definitely beat Misha.
                    If you can't find anyone, then you have to create someone.
                    Know what I mean?

Misha: Someone who can definitely beat her...

Watch Mecha Rabbit: Yes. It could be anything. You'll win if Misha at the Pier
                    loses a little confidence.

Watch Mecha Rabbit: You have to think carefully. You have to craft something
                    that you know can beat China Misha.

Watch Mecha Rabbit: Oops, I've been here too long. Gotta go.

* Watch Mecha Rabbit disappears. *

Lyner: Misha...how's it going?

Misha: ...Mountain...

Misha: Let's go to the mountains...

----

* At the Eternal Street again... *

Jack: Yo Lyner. Such a gloomy face as usual.

Lyner: J, Jack...?

Jack: Sharpen up! Misha's growing up, but what's the point if you're not!

Lyner: Oh, yeah...

Jack: But this sure is a strange world. It reminds me of the time when Misha
      first came to Em Pheyna.

Lyner: Her first time in Em Pheyna?

Jack: Yeah. Back then, Misha was still small and she became homesick
      pretty often.

Jack: And so that she won't be so lonely, I became like her big brother and
      always stayed by her side.

Jack: But even when Misha became homesick, she always said she never wanted to
      go back to Platina.

Lyner: ...!?

Jack: She said she didn't want to because there was a demon there.

Lyner: By demon... You mean...

Jack: Yeah, Commander Leard.

Lyner: ...Dad.

Jack: Well, I knew it seemed deep, but I never thought it'd be this far down
      in level. It must have been pretty bad...

Lyner: (Geesh... Dad must have been pretty strict on Misha...)

----

* At the Frost Mountain... *

Lyner: It's awfully cold around here... Can we really find someone here who
       can out drink Misha?

Misha: ...I need to find something that will make the other me think that
       she's gonna lose...

Lyner: Misha...are you ready?

Misha: Don't bother me! I'm thinking!

Lyner: ...Alright.

...

Misha: Lyner, thank you for waiting. I found the greatest drinker ever.

Lyner: H, hurry u, uupp...I'm fr, freezing...

Misha: I should be able to find a raccoon that can absorb anything around here.

Misha: A raccoon can drink a lot of sake and temporarily expand. Once the sake
       is absorbed, it'll return to its normal size.

Lyner: What are you talking about?

Sister: Let's hear her out.

Misha: An enzyme inside raccoons help them absorb sake quickly, and their
       bodies expand to ferment.

Misha: Once they break down the alcohol, their bodies quickly shrink to their
       normal size. And, the alcohol residue is very nutritious for raccoons!

???: Who's making all that racket!? I can't sleep.

* A small raccoon appears. *

Misha: Is it really...!?

Tanuki: Oh, you were talking about me!

Misha: I did! I want you to drink a lot of sake for me!

Tanuki: Sake! Alright! Where is it?

Misha: Come with us.

* At the Wharf of Endless Calm... *

China Misha: Welcome back. Oh, what a cute raccoon. Why is he here?

Tanuki: Let me drink sake!

China Misha: What!? He's going to drink? Will he be okay?

Lyner: Of course. He drinks sake for his three meals a day.

China Misha: Okay then, let's have a drinking match.

* Tanuki grows in size. *

Tanuki: It's yummy! I love this sake!

China Misha: He sure can drink a lot... This is gonna be interesting.

* Tanuki grows bigger. *

Tanuki: Good sake! It's a great day to be me.

China Misha: Why is his body getting big? What's going on? Oh well, who cares?
             Let's keep drinking!

* Tanuki grows even bigger. *

Tanuki: I haven't drunk this much sake in a long time. I'm so happy.

China Misha: W, wait...why is he getting so big...?

Tanuki: I think I'm ready.

* Tanuki releases the gas and shrinks back to his original size. *

China Misha: What?

Tanuki: I'm hungry. Will you let me drink some more?

China Misha: What's going on!?

Misha: He has an enzyme taht absorbs alcohol. He's getting big because of the
       fermentation. Once all of the alcohol is absorbed, he shrinks back to
       normal size.

Misha: Once he absorbs the alcohol, he's hungry and ready to drink a lot more.
       So, he's pretty much a bottomless drinker.

China Misha: Then! I can never beat him!

China Misha: Oh no! I think I'm getting drunk. I guess he won. You can take
             the sake...

Misha: Great! We got sake!

Lyner: Alright, we did it! I'm impressed. How did you find the way to beat her?

Misha: I know myself better than anyone. I'm not good with logic.

Misha: I carefully planned out the whole thing. There was a lot of logic that
       I didn't mention.

Misha: I'll tell you about it some other time. It'll probably take a whole day
       to explain it all.

Lyner: No! You don't have to do that...

Tanuki: Can I take one, too?

Misha: Of course. We couldn't win without you!

Tanuki: Great! You're so nice. I want to work for you. Call me whenever you
        need me!

...

Misha: We have sake, so we are good to go home!

Sister: Yes. Father must be worried about us.

Misha: I don't think he's worried at all...

Lyner: What do you think about your father?

Misha: He's so selfish, and he judges people based on his absurd standards.
       I don't consider him to be my father.

Lyner: (She's right about Dad...)

Lyner: (What happened between them in the real world...?)

----

* At Misha's House... *

Sister: Father, we're home.

Misha: We brought sake back for you.

Dad: What took you so long!? Where have you been!?

Misha: What's wrong with you? We worked hard to make you happy!

Lyner: Misha, calm down!

Misha: No! I won't let him get away with this! Not today!

Sister: Stop it, both of you!

Misha: No, big sis! I won't deny my feelings any longer! I'm gonna tell him
       how it is!

Dad: How dare you talk to me like that!

* The ground is shaking. *

Misha: You can't hold me up to your ridiculous standards. My singing skills are
       better than you thought!

Lyner: ...Singing skills?

Misha: You locked me up in a dark room. You told me it was perfect for training
       for crafting Songs under extreme situations.

Dad: I did that for you...because I care about you!

Misha: You care about me!? If you really cared about me, you woulda bought that
       kid's meal when I was little!

Misha: You told me to grow up already. You never even let me play...

Misha: Because of you, I don't even have any good childhood memories! Give me
       back my childhood, you monster!

* The place is burning.... *

Lyner: Whoa! Misha...

Dad: You dare shoot at your own teacher!

* Explosion occurs. *

Sister: Lyner, it's too dangerous here! We have to leave now!

Lyner: But, what about Misha?

Sister: She'll be fine. But, we have to go outside!

* At the Eternal Street... *

Lyner: Why does she hate him so much?

Sister: She was taught by him since she was a little girl.

Lyner: From that guy!?

Sister: Yes. He's a brilliant, but selfish man.

Sister: Misha had unbelievable potential. He put her through extreme tests to
        train her to meet his standards. Misha patiently obeyed all of his
        orders.

Sister: I guess she finally reached her boiling point.

Lyner: ...I never knew...

Sister: This should get everything off her chest. Just wait until she's done.

Lyner: Okay...

Sister: Once she gets everything out, it'll be easy to make up with her.

Lyner: If you say so...

* Big explosion occurs. *

Sister: ......

Lyner: ......

* Back to Misha's House... *

Misha: *huff* *huff*

Dad: You...stupid little girl...

Misha: I'll let you go...this time...

Lyner: What a mess...

Dad: You're so...powerful...I thought you were...still just a kid...

Misha: *huff* *huff*

Dad: I'm...so proud of you.

Misha: Father...

Misha: ......

Misha: Thank you...

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: So, what's Misha's relationship to my father?

Hama: ...You don't remember? Well, that's really not surprising. With your bad
      memory, it's no wonder.

Lyner: Pardon...

Hama: Commander Leard taught Misha how to craft Song Music. He taught her
      everything she needed to know to carry out her mission.

Hama: He was tough on her, and she couldn't take it. That's why her feelings
      about him were buried so deep...

Lyner: He did that to her back then...

Hama: But, now that she let out her feelings, she should feel a lot better.

Lyner: ...Huh?

* Light glows at the Stonehenge. *

Hama: A Paradigm Shift...

Hama: Look!

----

* At the Stonehenge... *

Misha: You saw a bunch of my most embarrassing moments this time.

Lyner: There's nothing to be embarrassed about. That's all in the past.
       Besides, you were kinda cute when you were angry.

Misha: That better be because I look cute all the time...

Lyner: ......

Misha: This is gonna be my fifth Paradigm Shift. The more times we do this,
       the more of my secrets you'll see.

Misha: ...Next time, you may be disappointed and hate me... Hahaha!

Lyner: Don't worry... I told you, nothing here can change how I feel about you.
       So go right ahead.

Misha: ...Alright. See you there...

* At the Stonehenge... *

Lyner: ......

Lyner: ..It's getting cold.

Lyner: Maybe it's just me...

Lyner: I should go outside...

* At the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: Wow...this world is kind of strange.

Lyner: I wonder what will I find here...

----

* At the Life Tower... *

Hama: Hey, you... You seem a little tired. Are you becoming aware of the fear
      that comes with higher levels lately?

Lyner: Well, yeah... The way things work are pretty different from level 4.

Hama: Yeah. Once you pass level 5, Reyvateils suddenly reveal their true
      nature. And from there, the real bonding begins.

Hama: Usual partners either become too afraid past level 5, or steadily quit
      before that...

Lyner: Oh yeah, I remember the Dive Shop guy said they usually only go up to
       level 4... I guess that's the reason.

Hama: Yeah. The partner and the Reyvateil herself both need a lot of courage
      to go past level 4 and 5.

Hama: Getting glimpses of a Reyvateil's true thoughts aren't always a positive
      influence on a relationship.

Hama: In reality, there are pairs who fell apart because they saw level 5,
      and allowed them to see it.

Hama: Well, they just weren't really true pairs to begin with.

Lyner: ...I wouldn't... Even if I saw Misha's deep inner thoughts, I wouldn't
       let go of Misha.

Hama: ...

Hama: I'm not worried about that. You're dull and thick-skulled so I know you
      won't take offense to that kind of stuff.

Lyner: I kind of feel like I was bashed on...

Hama: Th, that's not true!

Lyner: Huh?

Hama: ...!! Uh, I mean, y, yeah, that's what I meant!

Lyner: Hama... Lately, I don't understand you.

----

* At the Constraint House... *

Jack: ...You...

Lyner: Jack! I didn't expect to see you here.

Jack: Shh! You'll wake the tyrant in the castle!

Lyner: ...?

Jack: Aren't you an outsider? You should leave before anyone finds you.

----

* At the Eternal Street... *

Krusche: You're an outsider.

Lyner: Krusche! What's going on in this world?

Krusche: You should leave this world before the tyrant in the castle
         wakes up...

Lyner: Wh, what do you mean?

Krusche: You can still save yourself. Run away!

Lyner: ...Wh, what is this!?

----

* At the Sleeping Forest... *

Lyner: There's nothing in the forest...

???: Lyner!?

Lyner: Aurica! Where are you?

Aurica: I passed out and woke up in the forest. I've been wandering around
        for days.

Lyner: For days!? Are you alright?

Aurica: I'm fine. I'm so glad you found me. Can you get us out of here?

Lyner: Sure.

???: I can't let you do that!

Aurica: ...!

Lyner: Bourd! What are you doing here!?

Bourd: Lyner Barsett, I have business to take care of.

Bourd: I was told to capture you.

Lyner: What!?

Aurica: Lyner, don't go! I don't want to be alone again!

Bourd: I'm sorry, little girl, but I have to take him away...

Bourd: Sorry, Lyner. Nothing personal.

* Bourd hits Lyner. *

Lyner: What...did you...do to me?

Aurica: Lyner! Don't leave me here!

...

Lyner: Wh, uh...ugh, ugh...what...?

* At the Life Hall... *

Misha: You're awake...my precious Lyner...

Lyner: Misha! And Bourd!? What's going on here!?

Misha: I found you, Lyner. So, I had Bourd bring you back here.

Bourd: That's right...

Misha: Thanks, Bourd. You can go now.

Lyner: Misha! Why are you doing this!?

Misha: Don't tell me what to do. This is my world...

Lyner: ...Aurica is lost in the woods...

Misha: Oh yeah, I put her there. She'll probably wander around in there
       forever.

Misha: She's so annoying...I had to punish her somehow.

Lyner: But, what you're doing is wrong...

Misha: This is my world, and I can do whatever I want in here. But, I am happy
       to see you...

Lyner: Well, what happened to your clothes!? Where's your usual outfit?

Misha: My usual outfit...? Oh, I don't really like wearing it. It's so
       uncomfortable and too much work to put on...

Misha: Just wearing this shirt is so much more comfortable. It's so casual...
       I love it.

Misha: Will you come with me?

Lyner: No! I...we can't do this...

Misha: Why not? Do you like someone else? Is that it?

Lyner: No, Misha...I'm saying it for your own good.

Misha: "For my own good?" What the hell does that mean?

Misha: Every time you say that, I never get my way.

Misha: It's really just "for your own good," not mine.

Lyner: ...That's not what I meant.

Misha: I'll tell you one last time. This is my world. If you want to survive,
       you have to listen to me...

Misha: I want you to stay here with me, forever.

Lyner: No! Misha!

Misha: You're a good boy, aren't you?

Misha: But...I don't really need you here anymore...

* The ground starts shaking. *

Lyner: What! Wait!

* Misha casts magic and Lyner ends up at the Frost Mountain. *

Lyner: It's...so cold!

Lyner: Why did she send me to such a dreadful place...?

Bourd: Lyner, you're here, too...?

Lyner: Bourd!? How'd you get that scar?

Bourd: Just...look out for the dragon...

Bourd: Ugh...

Lyner: Bourd!

Dragon: Grrrr...

Lyner: What's wrong with this place? Where'd this dragon come from?

Dragon: Grrrr!

Lyner: We better run!

----

* At the Stonehenge... *

Lyner: I have to find a way outta here...but the Stonehenge might not do me
       any good...

* Explosion occurs. *

Lyner: Whoa! It's here, too!? ...Why won't it just give up?

Dragon: Grrrr...

Lyner: I have to try someplace else...

Dragon: Grrrr!

----

* At the Sleeping Forest... *

Lyner: I think we're safe here...

* Explosion occurs. *

Lyner: No! Is it chasing me...!?

Dragon: Grrrr...

Lyner: I have to run away!

Dragon: Grrrr!

----

* At the Constraint House... *

Lyner: It's probably safe inside the house...

* Explosion occurs. *

Lyner: What!? The dragon can come inside, too...

Dragon: Grrrr...

Lyner: I have no where to go...but I have to keep running!

Dragon: Grrrr!

----

* At the Eternal Street... *

Lyner: No, the dragon keeps finding me, no matter where I go...

* Explosion occurs. *

Lyner: Why are you chasing me?

Dragon: Grrrr...

Lyner: I can't go anywhere...but there has to be some way to escape...

Dragon: Grrrr!

* The Dragon hits Lyner with its claws. *

Lyner: Agh...he got me with his claws...

Lyner: ...Is it poisonous...?

???: How does home-made dragon poison taste?

Lyner: ...Misha...why?

Dragon: Grrrr!

* Explosion occurs. *

Lyner: Araggh!

Lyner: Losing...consciousness. Am I going to die here...?

Misha: Don't worry. I won't kill you. You're my precious Lyner...

Misha: Don't die...

Dragon: Grrrr!

* Another explosion occurs. *

Lyner: It...hurts...poison...killing me...I can't...think straight...

Misha: Does it hurt? Are you in pain?

Lyner: Why are you doing this to me...?

Misha: Can you really feel the pain? It represents my love for you.
       You betrayed me, so you deserve to suffer...

Lyner: Betrayed you...!?

Dragon: Grrrr...

Lyner: Agh...ungh...

Misha: Yes, you betrayed me. You've always been betraying me.

Lyner: No! I've never betrayed you...

Misha: In your mind, you may have never betrayed Misha...

Misha: But, the Lyner in my mind betrays me everyday. You've killed me
       inside...many times.

Lyner: ...!

Misha: But, it's different today. Today, it was the real Lyner who
       betrayed me...

Lyner: I'm passing out...

Misha: Lyner!? Are you okay? The dragon's poison is really working strong.
       Please don't die...

Misha: You might not survive the dragon's poison... But, I'll at least watch
       you die.

Misha: Is the poison starting to feel good? It usually does by the final stage.

Misha: Don't worry. Even if you die in pain, I won't be disappointed in you...

Misha: Because, you were with me until your death...watching me. You didn't
       leave me. You didn't betray me...

Lyner: No...I can't think...

???: You poor fool. You look miserable.

Misha: ...Who are you?

Misha: ...Huh!? You're me!?

Shinobi Misha: Yes. I'm one of you. How dare you do this to him...

Lyner: ...No...I'm losing consciousness...

...

* At the Stonehenge... *

Lyner: ...This place is...

Shinobi Misha: It's the Stonehenge. Are you alright?

Lyner: You!! You were trying to seduce Misha on a previous level...

Shinobi Misha: I didn't seduce her. How dare you speak to me like that!
               I saved your life.

Lyner: ...Are you an enemy or a friend?

Shinobi Misha: Neither.

Shinobi Misha: I'm the protector of Misha's carefree spirit. I guide her in
               the right direction.

Lyner: ...?

Shinobi Misha: You'll see. You'll understand by the time you reach my level.

Shinobi Misha: You shouldn't stay here any longer. Otherwise, you'll soon
               be dead.

Lyner: But...why does she want to kill me? Does she hate me that much?

Shinobi Misha: No. You're the most important person to her. But, her feelings
               are being distorted.

Lyner: I don't get it. She was trying to kill me.

Shinobi Misha: ......

Shinobi Misha: Look, if you want to return to Misha's Cosmosphere, you need to
               make peace with this world.

Shinobi Misha: To do so, you must defeat that dragon. I will help you.

Lyner: Alright...

Shinobi Misha: Where can we find the dragon...?

* At the Cosmosphere map... *

Hama: Lyner! You're safe.

Lyner: Yeah, but I almost died.

Hama: At this level, I can't do much to help you.

Hama: You might have figured it out already, but you're getting closer to
      Misha's deeper feelings.

Hama: Obvious feelings and deeper feelings are often totally opposite,
      even though they're basically the same thing...

Lyner: That's it, I give up... This is all too confusing...

Hama: The real Misha and the Misha of this world behave differently, but their
      feelings are still the same.

Hama: That's why it's difficult. The level above this will also be like that.
      So, your love and hope won't be enough to get you safely through it.

Lyner: I see.

Hama: As the levels of Soulspace advance, it gets scarier. Just don't give up.

----

* At the Constraint House... *

Jack: Lyner!

Lyner: Jack! Don't you have to run away?

Jack: I'm fine. I won't be killed here.

Jack: But anyway Lyner. This is becoming a terrible world.

Lyner: ... Y, yeah...

Jack: Now that it's this far, Misha's feelings towards you are past amazing,
      and even admirable.

Lyner: No no, now's not the time to admire it.

Jack: You're right. Hey Lyner, do you have a little time? It's safe here.

Lyner: Y, yeah...

Jack: You see, I always took care of Misha in Em Pheyna before she became the
      Star Singer.

Jack: Misha talked to me everyday about you. She always seemed happiest when
      she was talking about it.

Jack: One day, I asked her, "What kind of guy is Lyner?"

Jack: What do you think she said?

Jack: "Lyner is the man who will defeat the Evil King and rescue me from this
      place." She said you said it yourself.

Lyner: ... Me!?

Jack: Is it true?

Lyner: ...W, well... I'm sorry... I don't remember.

Jack: Ah...well, they do say human children have bad memories...

Jack: But Misha still remembers those words. She still believes you will be
      the one that will give her freedom.

Lyner: ... I... will free Misha...!?

Jack: Yeah. Well I know it's impossible to make you remember something you've
      forgotten.

Jack: Just know that something like that happened in the past.

Jack: Or else, I'd feel too sorry for Misha.

Lyner: ...Misha...

Jack: Well, if she can fascinate her love for you that badly, I guess this
      world is just normal. I'm starting to think that way.

Lyner: Please give me a break...

Jack: But seriously, you are at fault for the creation of this world.

Lyner: ... Me!?

Jack: You're uneasy, right? You can't decide, huh? Misha is worried because
      she sees that in you.

Lyner: ...I, I see... But...

Jack: I understand you can't decide that quickly. But you know, at least be
      able to accept her.

Jack: And her love for you in this level.

Lyner: ...Okay.

----

* At the Frost Mountain... *

Shinobi Misha: If we stay here, it will come to us.

???: Grrrr!

Lyner; It's here! So, how can we beat it?

Shinobi Misha: Remember, you wishes come true in the Cosmosphere.

Dragon: I was ordered to kill you by my master...

Shinobi Misha: Master? Does he mean Misha? Even though she dumped him, he still
               calls her master.

Dragon: What...? I was dumped!? What are you talking about?

Shinobi Misha: Unfortunately, you've been dumped ever since you were born.

Shinobi Misha: Actually, it's more like you're made up of feelings that Misha
               has thrown away. It's sad, but true.

Dragon: You lie! I'll get you both!

Dragon: Grrrr!

Lyner: Whoa...he's blowing us away!

Shinobi Misha: Lyner!!

* Shinobi Misha crafts the Wind Guard. *

Wind Guard: I'll help you...

Lyner: Wh, what happened...?

Shinobi Misha: I just crafted because I wanted to save you.

Lyner: Thanks! Now it's my turn to attack!

Dragon: You might be able to avoid my attacks, but you still can't beat me!

Lyner: You don't know that! Uragh!

* Lyner sliced the Dragon. *

Dragon: Grrrr!

Shinobi Misha: I'll get you! Ya!

* Shinobi Misha casts magic on the Dragon. *

Dragon: Araggh!

Lyner: ...Did we beat him?

Shinobi Misha: Yes. The Misha of this world can't hide or run away from us
               anymore.

Lyner: What do you mean?

Shinobi Misha: I think you better ask Misha. Let's go to the Moon Mansion.

----

* At the Life Hall... *

Shinobi Misha: C'mon, let's go this way.

...

Misha: You're alive...

Misha: ...You! Why are you still here? Shouldn't you be in your own world?

Shinobi Misha: I'm trying to bring Lyner to my world. He doesn't have time to
               fool around here.

Misha: Fool around...? But, Lyner's not leaving here at all. He'll stay with
       me forever, or he'll just die...

Shinobi Misha: Oh, I'm sorry. We already killed your dragon. So, give him up
               already.

Misha: ...!

Misha: No! I won't let him leave me. I can't let Lyner leave! It's for my own
       protection.

Lyner: Your own protection...?

Misha: My heart will break if you ever leave me for someone else. If you go to
       another world, you'll start to hate me...

Misha: So, I have to lock you up right here. If that doesn't work, I'll have
       to kill you.

Misha: I can't stand the thought of you with someone else... You're all mine!

Lyner: I'm sorry, but I don't belong to you, or anyone else.

Lyner: I don't want to leave you, but I won't be held captive, either.

Lyner: I'm sorry, but you can't control me. If you don't like it, go ahead and
       kill me.

Misha: I can't...do that...

Lyner: You killed all those people, but you can't kill me?

Misha: But, I didn't kill anyone! Not a single one!

Misha: Those were all accidents! There was nothing I coulda done. The dragon
       was so violent...so many suffered...

Lyner: But, the dragon's gone now. If you really wanna kill me, you'll have to
       do it yourself.

Misha: No! Lyner! You can't die!

Lyner: But, I can't live under your conditions.

Misha: Then, I want you to disappear, but not be dead...

Misha: I like you! I like you so much! I need you to stay with me. I'll go
       crazy without you.

Misha: If you're gonna be with someone else, I want you to vanish, but not
       be dead!

Lyner: Misha!?

Misha: I can't kill you! But if I can't control you, I wish I could erase you!

* The ground starts shaking. *

Lyner: ...What?

Shinobi Misha: This is getting dangerous... The Misha of this world is
               crumbling.

Misha: Lyner! Don't go! Stay here! Don't care about anything else but me!

Lyner: ...I can't do that.

Misha: Then...I don't want you here! I want someone to kill you!

Shinobi Misha: But, there's no more dragon to kill him accidentally.

Misha: Well, I can't kill him myself... Otherwise, I'll no longer be a drama
       queen!

Misha: But, I have to be a drama queen, or else Lyner won't care about me
       anymore!

Lyner: Misha!

Misha: No!

Shinobi Misha: Damn! She's caught in a paradox loop!

Shinobi Misha: You have to take Misha to Stonehenge. I'll meet you there!

* Back to the Cosmosphere map, light glows at the Stonehenge. *

Lyner: Stonehenge...! For a Paradigm Shift!?

Hama: ...I don't think she can pass through the Paradigm Shift...

Hama: You'll have to save her by taking her through it.

Hama: ...It might be a little scary, but you should be okay.

Lyner: Oh...

----

* At the Stonehenge... *

Shinobi Misha: Lyner! Hurry up!

Lyner: Why is a Paradigm Shift happening now? I thought that only happened
       when Misha matures emotionally.

Shinobi Misha: That's right. And the Misha of this world is definitely growing.

Shinobi Misha: You don't have to be happy to mature.

Shinobi Misha: This time, it was escaping the paradox loop that allowed her
               to grow.

Shinobi Misha: Anyway, the Shift is occurring. But, where's Misha?

Misha: ......

Shinobi Misha: She's just an empty shell... Lyner, will you take Misha through?

Lyner: A, alright...

Shinobi Misha: Lyner...

Shinobi Misha: Deep in her heart, she's afraid of losing you. That's how much
               you mean to her.

Shinobi Misha: We're deep within her heart, so her fears, doubts and emotions
               are amplified. But they're still all true. Remember that.

Lyner: ...I will.

Lyner: You know, the last time I saw you, I just thought you were evil.
       But, I was wrong.

Lyner: You're really nice, and you were so helpful.

Shinobi Misha: I'm not really good or bad. I'm just here to protect Misha's
               carefree spirit.

Lyner: Yeah, well, you save me. Thank you.

She is destined to protect the world, but her ego wants to be a normal girl.
These two personas have been repelling since Misha was born. What will be the
outcome of the two who both fight for their just reasons of existence?


* At the Stonehenge... *

Lyner: I'm finally at level 7... I'm getting pretty deep.

Lyner: It's kinda hot in here... And, not summer day hot...more like blazing
       inferno hot...

Lyner: I should go out...

* At the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: Whoa! The world is burning!

Lyner: ...What's happening?

----

* At the Life Tower... *

Hama: By the way, how is Misha doing in the real world lately?

Lyner: Huh? Uh, I don't think there's anything special that's been going on...
       Can't you find out about the real world from here?

Hama: It's not that I can't find out. It's just that I'm not always watching
      Misha's lifestyle.

Hama: Something could have happened while I wasn't watching.

Lyner: I see... But why do you ask that out of nowhere?

Hama: ...Actually, there's something I'm worried about. Have you noticed
      recently that Misha had a bump on her forehead?

Lyner: No, not at all... A bump? What happened?

Hama: ...Look! I'm the one who's asking!

Hama: I didn't notice when she got it. It looks like a painful one so,
      I thought maybe something happened.

Lyner: ...U-m, I don't know... I can't think of anything...

Hama: ...Oh. Well, then it's okay. It might just be something like, she fell
      off the bed half asleep.

Lyner: Whoa, whoa, she does that?

Hama: Oh, you didn't know?

Hama: It's only recently that Misha gets to sleep everyday, so I just found
      out, but...Misha is horrible at waking up.

Hama: Even when she wakes up, she wraps around her blanket and sits for a
      while, and then she wobbles when she walks...

Lyner: S, she's that weak in the morning!?

Hama: There was even this one time when she banged into the wall three times
      just to go wash her face. I wanted her to do something about it.

Lyner: ...She's hard core.

Hama: ...You shouldn't be the one to talk. Probably.

Lyner: Y, you think so...?

----

* At the Constraint House... *

Hama: Misha has developed a lot. I never would have thought we would reach
      such deep levels.

Lyner: I see...

Hama: On the other hand, you with no improvement.

Lyner: Eek! Wh, what, all of a sudden... I try really hard too...

Hama: Then have you remembered anything about me?

Lyner: ...No.

Hama: Well, I guess it's an impossible request to remember something you have
      forgotten.

Hama: But that doesn't change the fact that I'm upset...

Hama: I remember clearly about the time I first saw you. Even though you might
      have forgotten since you were just a child...

Hama: But at that time, you were serious about me. You treated me very
      importantly, and you feelings for me were strong.

Lyner: I see... I've forgotten such an important thing...

Lyner: I know it may be of no use for me to say this, but if there's anything
       I can do, tell me. It's not an excuse for not being able to remember
       but...

Hama: ...

Hama: The only redeeming thing about you is that you're too kind.

Hama: Then, there's one thing I want to ask of you...

Lyner: Y, yeah, anything!

Hama: ...

Hama: Like before...

Lyner: ...

Hama: ... ...

Hama: Never mind. It's too late to make me happy, even if you do it!

Lyner: What!? ...I don't get it at all...

Hama: You don't have to get it! Now, go home for today already!

Lyner: Alright, alright...

----

* At the Frost Mountain... *

Jack: Lyner, it's you...

Lyner: Jack! Why do you sound so disappointed to see me?

Jack: Sorry. I'm looking for Misha.

Lyner: Misha!?

Jack: Yeah, and I'm in a hurry. I have to find her before this world
      disappears...

Jack: Can you help me look for her?

Lyner: Sure.

----

* At the Eternal Street... *

Krusche: Lyner! Have you seen Misha?

Lyner: Misha? Did she run out on a bet or something?

Krusche: No, this is serious! If I don't find Misha, this world might be
         destroyed!

Krusche: Lyner, help me look for Misha.

Lyner: Uh, okay...

----

* At the Eternal Street again... *

Spica: Oh Lyner.

Lyner: Spica! Is it okay for you to be here!?

Spica: Of course. I am the woman who will become the queen of the underworld.

Lyner: What kind of nonsense are you talking about. Stop ranting and let's get
       out of here.

Spica: Oh, I really am okay here. And this world, it's a very beautiful
       world... Hmhmhm.

Lyner: Beautiful...whoa, whoa. That's a messed up idea.

Lyner: (But it does seem she really is trusted... She's alright being here,
       and this calmness...)

Spica: You see, there's a reason for me to be okay in this world. It's because
       I'm a very important person to Misha.

Lyner: Even if it were true, it doesn't sound persuasive at all when you say
       it yourself.

Spica: My my, who do you mean by "yourself"? Remember, this is Misha's
       Soulspace.

Lyner: Ah...!

Lyner: (That's right... This Spica is Misha's creation... Which means, they are
       Misha's true words...)

Spica: Seems you finally understand.

Spica: When Misha was captured by Tenba, the only outsider she had contact with
       was me.

Spica: When you met Misha, she was already moving about freely, but before,
       it wasn't like that.

Spica: And during that time, we met when I was supplying Grathnode Crystals
       to Tenba.

Spica: Probably because she watched me then, even after she gained her freedom,
       she came to my place often.

Spica: And that's when I heard about Misha's situation and told her about all
       the escape routes and how to disarm locks.

Lyner: What did you say!? Then we were able to disable all those locks in Tenba
       because...

Spica: Yes, I taught her how. That's why I am Misha's savior.

Lyner: How could it...

Spica: Oh oh, also, think about this carefully. If I weren't there, you
       wouldn't have been saved either.

Lyner: ... Huh!?

Spica: You were trapped by Tenba. I wonder who unlocked that room.

Lyner: ... Ah...

Spica: See? Are you starting to understand how great I am?

Lyner: ...A little resentful, but I can't argue...

Spica: That·is·why! Misha can't disobey me.

Spica: Misha is my slave for life. And Misha's things are my things!
       Misha's world is my world!

Spica: Ahh... I'm such a sinful woman.

Spica: Unsatisfied with just the underside of the real world, I had to come
       control the world of this cute girl from the shadows.

Lyner: ...Hahaha... Haha... I don't really care anymore...

Lyner: If Misha's okay with it, that's fine...

----

* At the Sleeping Forest... *

Radolf: Did you see her on the way here?

Lyner: No, I didn't.

Radolf: I see...we have to find her quickly...

Radolf: Sorry. Will you help me find Misha? It's critical to the survival of
        this world.

Lyner: Yeah, sure.

----

* At the Constraint House... *

Lyner: You're...Misha's big sister, right?

Sister: Lyner, Misha is gone.

Sister: Please help me find her. Without her, this world will...

Lyner: Alright...

----

* At the Stonehenge... *

Lyner: Dad!? What are you doing here?

Leard: Misha disappeared. I have to find her before something awful happens
       to this world...

Leard: You've got good timing. Help me find her.

Lyner: Why me!?

Leard: The world is in danger. Don't complain!

----

* At the Life Tower... *

Lyner: Nobody's here...

???: Are you looking for someone?

Lyner: Who's there!?

* A mysterious being appears. *

???: I'm over here.

Lyner: Who're you?

Mystery: You don't need to know my name. Just call me Mystery.

Mystery: Are you looking for Misha?

Lyner: Y, yes...

Mystery: She's over there.

(Shinobi) Misha: Oh!

Lyner: Misha!?

Mystery: The rest is up to you. I have to prepare for...something.

Misha: ...Lyner.

Lyner: What's going on, Misha? Everyone's looking for you. They said that the
       world will disappear without you...

Misha: Lyner...you're telling me that, too...

Lyner: ...Huh?

???: I found her! Hey everyone, I found Misha!

Jack: Misha, where have you been? I was worried.

Misha: ......

Radolf: It's okay. We found her. The world will be saved.

Krusche: I'm so glad we found you. I was worried that the world was going to
         be destroyed.

Leard: Don't scare us like that... Hurry up!

Sister: Please get back to work.

Misha: No!

* Misha casts magic. *

Sister: Ahh!

Jack: Calm down! Stop throwing fire at us...

Radolf: We have to go!

Jack: Stop being selfish!

Lyner: Why are you forcing her to do something!?

Krusche: We can't help it, the world is in danger. It took us a long time to
         find her, so we don't have much time left.

Lyner: So what can Misha do to save the world?

Krusche: She'll be sacrificed to keep the door to the Moon Mansion locked.
         She needs to be there to seal the door.

Krusche: The world will be destroyed if the monster escapes from the mansion.

Lyner: W, wait! No one told me that!

Lyner: ......

Lyner: I have to save her! I can't let her be sacrificed.

----

* At the Life Hall... *

Lyner: I was here the other day. This sure is an eerie building...

Lyner: Who built this thing and why...

Lyner: Huh?

* Misha is seen tied up. *

Lyner: Misha, why are you here?

Misha: Lyner, are you here to save me?

Lyner: Yes! I'm sorry. I didn't know what they were going to do with you.

Misha: No...it's okay. I knew you were going to save me.

Misha: Can you untie this cloth?

Lyner: Yeah, just a minute...

???: Don't interfere.

* A Misha in Armor appears. *

Lyner: An armored Misha!?

Armor Misha: It is our mission to keep the reaper sealed within the castle.

Armor Misha: If the seal is broken, the world will be flooded with reapers
             and destroyed. Nobody wants that to happen.

Lyner: Then, I'll beat the reaper!

Armor Misha: Beat it!? Sounds like the typical hero story, to me.

Armor Misha: Villagers get scared of a vicious dragon, so a young girl is sent
             to be sacrificed to calm him down. One day, a brave young man
             shows up in the village.

Armor Misha: He beats the dragon and saves the girl. Then, the villagers live
             happily ever after. The end. Is that it?

Armor Misha: But, it's impossible to defeat a reaper. It's not like any
             storybook dragon.

Lyner: How can you say that!? We won't really know until we try!

Armor Misha: Unfortunately, the world can't allow Misha to revolt or try
             something new.

Armor Misha: All we want from her is to seal the reaper within the mansion.

Lyner: So, what about all of her dreams and desires!?

Armor Misha: We are just machines that seal reapers. We have no use for dreams
             or desires.

Lyner: Misha is living being, just like us. You can't just treat her like
       a tool!

Misha: He's right. You can't deny your own potential.

* Armor Misha punches Misha. *

Misha: No!

Lyner: Misha! Why are you hitting her?

Armor Misha: Don't talk back to me. I'm your superior.

Misha: I want to live like a Human. Even though I only have a 1% chance of
       survival, I choose to escape the curse of the reaper and be free!

Armor Misha: Don't tell me you forgot about you mission. You can't ask for
             happiness or freedom.

Misha: How dare you break into my world and lecture me! I want you to leave!

Armor Misha: I can't do that. I can't ignore your threat to my destiny.

Armor Misha: Do I have to tie you down forever...until we both rot and
             disappear?

Lyner: I won't let you do that! Misha is alive, like me. I don't care about
       her destiny, or yours!

Misha: Lyner...

Lyner: I'll sever your bonds! Misha, live your life as you choose!

Lyner: Dyah!

* Lyner cuts the bonds. *

Misha: Ahh!

Armor Misha: What!?

Lyner: Reaper! Come on out so I can destroy you!

Armor Misha: You have made a grave error... You can never destroy a reaper...

* The room turns dark. *

Lyner: What!?

???: ...Stupid human. I didn't expect you to break the seal voluntarily...

* The reaper appears. *

Lyner: You're...a reaper! I'm going to beat you right here!

* Lyner attacks. *

Lyner: Wh, what!?

Death God: You think you can beat me? I don't think so. These girls have
           already given up on beating me.

Misha: We have to run away for now!

Lyner: Why! I'll defeat him here!

Misha: It's not possible! We must leave!

* Misha crafts a mecha rabbit. *

Angel Skanda: Thank you for calling me! We'll go faster! Are you ready young
              lady?

Misha: Yes, please!

Angel Skanda: Huh!

* Angel Skanda starts spinning the clock. *

Misha: We gotta get outside!

Lyner: Whoa!

* Misha and Lyner escapes. *

Armor Misha: ......

* Back to the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: Whew...this is surprising me. It's getting really messy...

Hama: Misha's two personas are fighting.

Hama: If this escalates, it'll get much worse than just fighting...

Lyner: What!?

Hama: Please don't destroy Misha's Soulspace....

Lyner: Why can't I defeat a reaper!? Why does Misha believe the reaper is
       indestructible?

Hama: The viruses sealed inside of the Tower have become reapers in her
      Soulspace.

Hama: Misha's family line, the [Lune], have to keep singing forever because
      the viruses weren't exterminated.

Hama: That's why Misha has given up on defeating viruses...reapers.
      She couldn't even imagine doing that.

Lyner: But, the Misha of this world wants freedom...

Hama: Yes, the Misha of this world wants revolution and innovation.
      But she'll soon disappear.

Hama: I don't know how long she dreamed of defeating reapers. She'll soon
      realize that she doesn't even know how to defeat them.

Lyner: Then...Misha will never be free?

Hama: That's Misha's destiny. That's her life.

Lyner: That's awful...

----

* At the Eternal Street... *

Jack: Hey, what've you done!? The reapers are back, and the world will be
      destroyed...

Radolf: Jack is right. You helped to destroy our world!

Krusche: I thought you were better than that. I'm really disappointed in you.

Leard: I don't want you to come home. Just leave us alone...

----

* At the Frost Mountain... *

Misha: Lyner, let's take out the reaper.

Lyner: Are you sure we'll be okay?

Misha: Sure. I just couldn't tell you my real plan at the Moon Mansion because
       that Armor Misha was there.

Misha: This is my world. My feelings shape this land.

Misha: If that Misha from a higher level gets me to think reapers are
       invincible, then that'll come true.

Misha: So, I needed us to be alone.

Misha: With just the two of us, we both know we can defeat the reaper...

Lyner: Oh, hey, that's smart! So, we can beat this reaper now!

???: Humans...you have chosen to make this your burial ground. Very well.

* The reaper appears. *

Lyner: Misha, imagine me winning! You have to believe in me!

Misha: Okay, I got it!

Lyner: Then... Let's go!

* Lyner runs towards the reaper and slashes it. *

Death God: Grrr...

Lyner: I did it!

Misha: ...Yes! You defeated the reaper! Our feelings have changed my destiny!

Lyner: Great! Now, you can be free!

Misha: Yes, I'm free! Nothing can stop me now.

Misha: What!?

* Something is happening to Misha. *

Misha: Ahh!

Lyner: What's wrong?

Armor Misha: You fool! You defeated the reaper!

Lyner: Yeah, so!?

Armor Misha: Because you have defeated the reaper, there is a discrepancy
             between this Misha and the real one.

Armor Misha: A reaper is a type of virus. Defeating one here doesn't help the
             Misha in the real world.

Armor Misha: So, you haven't really freed her at all.

Armor Misha: This Misha won a false sense of freedom. But, she has a place in
             Misha's heart.

Armor Misha: It is creating a paradox inside of her...

Misha: No! I'm free now! The reaper is gone!

* Something is happening to Misha again. *

Lyner: Whoa!

Misha: Ahh!

Armor Misha: No! Misha's heart is going to collapse!

* Back to the Cosmosphere map, light glows at the Stonehenge. *

Lyner: The Paradigm Shift!

* The light at the Stonehenge is breaking up. *

Hama: Be careful, Lyner...this one is different. The light in unstable.

Lyner: ...You're right.

Hama: This Paradigm Shift is incomplete. Something's interfering with Misha's
      growth.

Hama: If she passes through there, we have no idea what might happen to Misha
      in the next level.

Hama: A distorted Paradigm Shift can cause a distorted growth...

----

* At the Stonehenge... the ground is shaking violently. *

Misha: The Paradigm Shift! Hurry up, Lyner!

Armor Misha: Don't go yet! There's no telling what might happen if you do.

Misha: This world won't last much longer. I have to grow.

Armor Misha: Stop! You're not spiritually ready for the Shift, yet.

Armor Misha: The instability of the Shift proves that you're subconsciously
             unsure of your decision.

Misha: No! I made the right decision!

Armor Misha: Don't base your judgements on your emotions. The fate of the world
             rests in your hands...

Misha: That's enough! I don't want to carry the fate of the world around
       anymore!

Misha: I don't wanna sing! I don't want to ever go back to that room!

Misha: The world can go to hell!

Lyner: M...Misha!?

Misha: That's why I need to get stronger. I have to be stronger than you!

Misha: You're like some machine who only cares about fate and responsibility!

Armor Misha: No! You can't go in!

Misha: It's too late! Goodbye...girl of fate!

What is she, what is the world? Without the world, she cannot exist. But she
doesn't want to waste her life. This emotion shatters her world, and begins
to change it. And then, everything was lost.


* At the Stonehenge... *

Lyner: Level 8...

Lyner: I wonder if Misha completed the Paradigm Shift alright...

Lyner: The atmosphere is really gloomy. Did she fail?

Lyner: No, I don't think so. Let's go outside...

* At the Cosmosphere map... *

Lyner: What's going on!? This ash...is this fog going to disappear?

Hama: I wasn't even expecting this...

Lyner: What's going on!? Is Misha all right!?

Hama: Because of the last Paradigm Shift, the deeper parts of her mind have
      collapsed.

Hama: That's what happens when you do a Paradigm Shift without being fully
      prepared. This is all your fault.

Lyner: My fault!?

Hama: If you can't even realize what you did, then don't come back to this
      world!

Hama: I won't return till this world is restored...

Hama: Goodbye.

Lyner: Hama!

Lyner: I need to find Misha...

----

* At the Temple... *

Lyner: Is this a temple? Is anyone here?

* A mechanical rabbit with a clock appears. *

???: ......

Lyner: Whoa! You scared me...

Angel Shura: Welcome to the doomed world. I'm Angel Shura. I govern innovation
             and power.

Lyner: What happened to this world?

Angel Shura: The ruler of this world failed to complete the Paradigm Shift.
             On the previous level, she attempted the shift without fully
             completing the level.

Angel Shura: That mistake is causing her to suffer in this world, thus causing
             this world to be distorted.

Lyner: ...I can't believe this.

Angel Shura: This disastrous world is based on her feelings about failing her
             mission.

Angel Shura: Deep inside, she didn't truly believe that she could run away from
             her fate.

Angel Shura: That small distortion in her deep thoughts created this disaster.

Lyner: Where is Misha!?

Angel Shura: She's locked up in the Moon Mansion, planning a way to deal with
             this situat
