Talk with Monica[edit]
Noah
Monica! Can we talk?
Monica
What's up? Sounds ominous.
Noah
We were hoping we could ask you about someone... Guernica, in fact.
Monica
...About Dad?
Mio
Everyone in the City speaks so highly of him.
But we still don't know a whole lot about him. I think we owe him that much.

Monica
All right. Where do you wanna start?
Noah
You were brought up by him, right?
So...we thought you'd probably understand him better than anyone else.
So...we thought you'd probably understand him better than anyone else.
Monica
Hah. I wish that were the case.
The Guernica Vandham that I knew, was a man that I always looked up to.
He was always busy keeping the City together, or fighting out on the front line... Always distant...
After I chose a military life, he didn't even talk to me like a parent any more.

Noah
You mean...you weren't on very good terms?
Monica
I got to know the man, I think. But not the father.
I just thought...that we'd have more time together...

Travis
'Ey, Boss...
You're making the kids feel guilty...
You're making the kids feel guilty...
Monica
Ah, sorry.
I don't blame you guys for any of this.
Dad...Guernica...died in the line of duty, trying to accomplish his aim. But that's not all.
He died fighting for what he believed in. And he saw it through. Of that much I'm sure.

Mio
For what he believed in...
Travis
Well, about that... There still might be a bit of unfinished business there.
He sure was adamant about getting stuff home to people.
He sure was adamant about getting stuff home to people.
Monica
Yeah... For certain.
Mio
Sorry, what do mean exactly?
Travis
Personal effects, from the deceased. Things that family and friends can remember them by.
We don't leave any other mark behind that says "we were here", you see.
If there are people waiting for you, then you just want to leave something behind, whatever it may be.
I was in the rear guard. I know just how dangerous that battlefield was.
Maybe it's better not to dwell on that.

But...there are personal items that have been left behind though, right?

Travis
Huh?
Noah
Maybe...you'd let us do something to help out with that.
It must be really painful for the people who never got the chance for closure.

Eunie
Yeah, right?
I'm starting to get a handle on how they see things in the City. Sort of...

Sena
But if there's something we can do about it, I wanna try to help.
Monica
I appreciate the sentiment, guys. But why go to all this trouble?
Taion
Well, we'll get some closure from doing this too.
We were losing friends every day.
We were losing friends every day.
Mio
And before we became Ouroboros, some of us used to be off-seers.
Guernica went to all that trouble for others.
And when it happened...he was thinking of everyone waiting for him in the City.
So I'd like to help his voice find its way.

Monica

Travis
Much appreciated... Speaking personally, good on ya.
Monica
Travis, could you pull up the tactical register?
Travis
Roger that! Give me a moment.
There's the data.
We've got a list of deceased soldiers and the likely locations where they fell.
Could you check out the waypoints around Alfeto Valley?

Taion
That's some impressive precision!
Travis
Kind of you to notice! See, that's the thing about us Lost Numbers...
We just don't know when to quit!
We just don't know when to quit!
Monica
Haha! OK, guys. It's up to you now.
When you're done, could you meet me at the Remembrance Stones?

Noah
Got it. You have my word!
Find Heewa’s Belongings[edit]

This is a really long way from where the Levnis crashed.
Don't worry. We'll bring your belongings back to the City.

I'll see that his belongings are returned.

Sena

All right. Back to the City with you.
All right. Back to the City with you.
Find Zuo’s Belongings[edit]
Noah
This is a long way from the battlefield... I guess that's why no one could find you.
Well, we'll get your things back to the City, don't worry.
Well, we'll get your things back to the City, don't worry.
Lanz
You fought well, mate.

Head for the Remembrance Stones[edit]
Noah
We've brought their belongings.
Travis
Thanks. Means a lot.
Can you...lay them out here?
Can you...lay them out here?
Sena
Now you mention it... Didn't Monica put an eyepatch here...?
Eunie
Yeah. That was Guernica's.
Taion
What does it mean exactly? Placing people's belongings here?
Travis
Uhh, how can I explain it...? Erm...
You guys have off-seeing, right? I guess this is our version of that.

Mio
Off-seeing for City folk... Hmmm...
Monica
You got here first.
Travis
Boss! We were waiting for you.
Travis, Monica and the party move out of the way to let the deceased’s families and friends mourn.
Mei
Brother Yew...!
Zuo's Father
Zuo! You made it back...
Cyma
Heewa...
You always kept such good care of this... Now look at it...
I just wish that...we could have talked more.
But...you're home now.

But...you're home now.
Monica
Thanks to you...these people got a chance to say farewell to their loved ones.
And I got to fulfill Dad's dying wish. Thank you.
And I got to fulfill Dad's dying wish. Thank you.
Noah takes his off-seer flute and looks at Mio, who nods.
The Emotions Imbued in Belongings[edit]
Noah and Mio play an off-seer song. Motes start to rise from the deceased’s belongings.
Sena
The motes...
Manana
Sparkles fly...
Mei
You're finally home...
Cyma
Heewa...
Olive takes Cyma in her arms.
Monica
These people, they weren't just sacrifices.
They've entrusted us all with the future.
As the Founders did.
Looking back...is not an option.

Looking back...is not an option.
Monica and Cyma exchange a nod. As everyone turns back to watch the motes rise, Monica clenches her fists and takes a shaky breath, crying in silence.
After the off-seeing[edit]
Monica
So that was an off-seeing...
The sound of that music... It's really something else.
I don't think anyone here will forget this day, as long as they live.

Travis
The fallen never got to win their battles. But maybe now, they can get some rest.
Monica
Yeah...finally...
Speaking of, you ought to get some rest too. You're gonna be pretty busy from now on.
Speaking of, you ought to get some rest too. You're gonna be pretty busy from now on.
Travis
You said it, Boss.
W-wait... Just how busy are we talking here?
W-wait... Just how busy are we talking here?
Monica
From now on, I'll be traveling with Noah's crew.
Travis
Huh?! But...then, who's going to handle things in the City?
Monica
You'll be here, won't you, Travis?
Travis
Ugh... Like father, like daughter, eh?
Monica
Dad spent his life on the front line. And I want to carry on that tradition.
I understood that when I heard the off-seers play.
It has to be me. I have to carry on his legacy...fulfill his hopes.
I'll fight for you now. Call on me anytime you need my help.

Noah
Thank you. That's truly heartening.
Mio
I hope we'll get to know each other outside of battle, too.
There's so much I'd like to ask you... About yourself, the City...
There's so much I'd like to ask you... About yourself, the City...
Monica
No worries.
Travis
A word of warning, guys. The boss's stories are long.
Monica
If you've got time to rip on the boss, I might just assign you some more duties, Travis.
Travis
Augh...
Monica
Well, at least I won't have to worry about the City while I'm gone.
Just holler if you need me.
Just holler if you need me.
Noah
We'll take you up on that.
Quest completed[edit]
Monica
Hold on a minute.
Monica rushes to the Remembrance Stones.
Monica
...I’ll come again soon. Keep an eye on me, would you?
