Introduction[]

I'm hungry.

ARGH! Voices in my head!

Hm...

...There's not a lot to choose from.
What's this?

Eek!

That startled me.

Get out of my head!

Coach...? Is that edible?

Uh. You're losing me here a bit.
Direction? Life goals?
I didn't even get to eat yet.

PROBLEM Profile FÖ-A-01[]

PROBLEM

Problem...?
HEINO? What's that?
That THING is my partner?

LOCATION

Where is that?
I don't get it, but okay.

BRIEF

Does it matter how I solve it?

ÜLAR's Public Profile[]

TAG

What's it for?

DOME

"Home"?

VALUE

What's this for?
VALUE, huh...How do I make it go up?

VIRTUE

O-oh! What's mine?
That...doesn't tell me anything.

FREQUENCY

What does this mean?
What happens to the remaining 2%?

DOME AINU[]

Got it.
Wait, what did you just say?

Wait, I still have questions—!

Gross.

Hey! Come back!
Don’t just ditch me like this!

This jerk!
You're still in here, aren't you?!

▲▲▲▲. I should just delete the app.

What am I supposed to do now?

(Oh, right. The RATION CARD.)

Out of my way!

What's wrong with you?!

(Who do they think they are? Ordering me around...)

(This is it. I'm going to show them.)

HEINO arrives

HEI...NO?

(So this midget is my partner?)

(He doesn't even look at me!)
(Are we...supposed to stand in silence?)
(Is this some other rule I didn't know?)
(Aaaaarwwghhh...this is driving me crazy!)

Hey! Wasn't I supposed to get a gift?
(Well, here goes my first day bonus.)

So...
Uh...
Are you going to DOME FÖ anytime soon?

Hey, wait!

(Darn it! Why did that get stuck in my head?!)
I've said wait! HEINO!

Damn. This place is huge.
Is this staircase ever going to end?

Oh.

So there are other domes?

Wow, okay. What about—

Oh, right.
I was supposed to be following HEINO.

...!

(Somebody...)
MR RAINER...!

...!

Tsk. This is what you get for going ahead of me.

Entering the Carrier

...

I don't like it! But I'll do it!

Hm, what's this?

(There's so much I don't know about this place, let alone myself.)
(Thinking about it makes my head hurt.)
(I was hungry, and then...everything was a blur.)

(And now I'm heading nowhere with a complete stranger on an unknown mission.)
(And I still want to eat.)

Needing to feed ECHO

What now...?

(I never asked MR RAINER what was the whole deal with all this...ECHO stuff.)
(What is it, exactly?)
(And how do I even feed it?)
(Is it invisible, or something?)

(I still don't get it!)

(Geez, fine. I'll just stuff it in and see what happens.)
(Why do you get to eat, and I don't?)

Bleh. Yuck.

(...Huh.)
(Did it just make me feel a little better?)

...!

Ouch.
Are we there already?

DOME FÖ[]

Walking from the Carrier to DOME FÖ

HEINOoo...why don't you say anything?
Hey. WHy do you think the roof is leaking?
This is so weird. We can move ahead, but our carrier can't?

Does it always stop like this?
Isn't that like, super inconvenient for passengers?
I'm so confused.

We've been...walking...for eons.
Are we there yet?
Ugh...

(If I don't eat something right now, I'm not going to make it.)

If I don't eat something this very moment—

...!

(What in the world was I thinking?!)

(This pitter-patter is driving me crazy.)

(Let's calm down, ÜLAR.)

Ooh.

At last...

Entering the Paraplane

It's sure lively in here.

...!

HEY, watch it!

Geez.

What's with all the commotion?

(It could do that?!)
O-okay. Go for it?

Offered Divine Buddy

Me?
Uh, I...

Don't want it
- I'll destroy it without your help.

Will take one
- I'll use anything.

(Huh... what did I just...)

Accepting

What a weird design.
Does it even work?

...

Refusing

No. I don't want it.

Dang. He's dedicated.

Talking to HEINO

Hey, HEINO.
What are we looking for, anyway?
(No reaction again...)
Anything suspicious, right?
Alright. I'll handle this.

(Suspicious activity...suspicious activity...)
(Everyone here looks suspicious.)
(What does a normal hjörian even act like?)

There's no way I'll find—

("ÜLAR"...? The same as me?)
(Didn't MR RAINER say that no hjörians have the same TAG...?)

Then, he must be—!
(Ah, dang. He noticed me.)

(I won't let you get away!)

...
Darn it. He's...fast...

There goes my first mission.
Looks like I've lost him.

Getting attacked by Reverse ÜLAR

Argh! I don't know and nobody tells me anything!
Are you having fun disfiguring me?

Thinking while being ripped apart

His each word is punctuated by a ripping sound.
ÜLAR is taking me apart, piece by piece.

HEINO rescues ÜLAR

...

Ugh.

What are you implying?
"ÜLAR's so useless he can't even walk by himself"?

Put me down!
I can manage on my own, okay?!

Without your...

Help...

Nobody rescues ÜLAR

...

ÜLAR wakes up[]

Huh...
Ngh...

...did I black out again?
(So many SPORES around...did we return to AINU?)

Huh.
I'm supposed to be blind, but I can sort of sense where things are.
Eat that, raincoat-hjörians.

MR RAINER wakes up

MR RAINER—!
I mean, ack. You again.
Do I get to ask questions?

Tell me. How did i get to AINU?
That bastard. I don't remember anything after he lifted me off the ground.

Thanks for the compliment.

What happened in FÖ, anyway?
Tsk. Figures.
So what was it?

Eh. It was that nosy salesman?!

Choosing simulated raincoat-hjörian behavior

So it can...copy...how others act?

Choosing no other Artefact like it

That's a lie.
You said there were no identical hjörians.
That everyone's unique.
If so...
Then who on HJÖ was the other ÜLAR?

...MR RAINER?
What? No. I don't want a new TAG.

I want to know what's wrong with me.

...
It's nothing.

Choosing very valuable

So everyone's first thought is to pursue them?

Uh...sure?

Choosing Diviners

Did it hate the Diviners that much?
If so, I totally get it. They're absolute morons.

Hm...'s that so.

Should I tell him that I feel it, too?
No.
No, I shouldn't. I mustn't.
If anyone knows that something's wrong with me, they'll...
They'll...

!!
Y-yeah?

After convo branch

Uh..no. I'm beat.

(And, I'm alone again.)

Thinking

..."Alone"?
Is it supposed to matter?
I don't even want to be here in the first place.

(Should we have...discussed this?)

(Argh! I'm getting a headache just imagining it!)

(...I'm probably just worn out.)

After seeing UIBO advertisement

(Not a single word about the Artefact, huh...)
(At least we solved their problem.)
(Or more like, HEINO did.)

(All I did was get pushed around and blinded by some freak who looks like me.)
(To think of it, no one ever told me what I was really supposed to be doing.)
(Besides, I never figured out why our carrier stopped...or why FÖ had a delivery problem in the first place.)
(How did HEINO even catch that thing?)
(Was it...supposed to be that easy? Am I the one who's acting stupid?)
(Am I the one who can't do anything right?)

How long will it continue like this? Days? Weeks? Decades?
At this rate, I'll never keep up.

(A-ah. Let's not think about it.)
(It feels like I'm missing something vital, but nobody has the answers.)
(...I wish there was something to eat.)
(Or something less depressing to listen to.)

What? Oh, go ahead.

After hearing MR RAINER's announcement

...All except for me.
No matter how hard I try, I can't do it.

Seeing the DOME TAU Ad

...

...?

MR RAINER comes back

Will you ever get tired of sneaking up on me?

I have a day off?
Which means—?!

……
(So...No major missions today?)

(Yet still...Outside? Wasn't that place supposed to be dangerous?)
(I need to ask ECHONET for directions.)
(But before that...I should look for food.)

AINU Minigame[]

Interacting with Elevator

"Are you kidding me?"

Lower left Raincoat-hjörian

"Have you seen HEINO, "AINU friend"?"

Middle Raincoat-hjörian

"Hey, have you seen HEINO?"
"He's about this tall, and-"
...Tch. The raincoat-hjörian ignores me.

Interacting with triangular spore

"It looks like a lot of spores come in triangular shapes."

Interacting with stick-like spore

"These spores look nothing like raincoat-hjörians."

Interacting with laying-down Raincoat-hjörian

"Must be nice to be able to rest."

Interacting with back of the line

("This line looks annoying. I guess I have no choice but to check the METRO.")

Interacting with ring-like spore

"I wish I could become a floating sphere, too."

Checking back to METRO

"Why did HEINO leave without me...?"

Interacting with Dispenser

"Oh, right. I still have my voucher."

After Minigame[]

Getting MYSTERY ITEM

And the mystery item is...another booklet?

Looks like I've been everywhere on this floor.
There should be at least 4 other levels, but they're not accessible. For now, at least.

A-ah, so boring...

There's really nothing to do in this place.
(Everyone just comes and goes.)
(They must only use this facility for resting up before work and getting ECHO food.)
(At least I'm not getting tortured by my own doppelganger.)

Feeding ECHO

Here we go.

(…)
(My head feels so light.)
(I didn't really think about it, but...it felt the same the last time, too.)
(But it doesn't make me less hungry.)
(Maybe it's because the food isn't for me?)

Daily Task

Hey, ECHO. How do I get Outside?

Let's see...a net and a stick? Are they even taking this seriously?
Oh, and emergency ECHO food. That'll come in handy.

(...The Rain is deafening. I can barely hear my own thoughts.)

(Huh?)
(This lump? It sure doesn't look like one.)

...

...!

(...I couldn't fit it into the net in the end. It's just too massive.)
(Just what are they made of?)

(Huh...in the distance...there's a sound?)

(It feels almost..)
(Familiar?)

Be quiet.

Ugh, so annoying!
Fine, I'll go back, so turn it off!

Pass for DOME TAU approved

(!)
(Does this mean I can go to TAU?)

(...I never told MR RAINER about it.)
(What if this is prohibited?)
(...But, it's not like I'm leaving forever. I just need to get to the DEFRAGMENTATION CHAMBER.)
(When I come back, I'll raise my VALUE for sure.)
(Then, no one will look down at me.)

(So far so good.)
(Now then, if I quietly go to the elevator... I should be able to get to TAU.)

Hey, you! Be quiet!
(...? Now that I look at it, it's the thing from earlier.)
(Even with the way I am now, I can tell from its silhouette.)

(I don't have time for this!)

(Damn it.)
("Well-rested", my ass.)

(This thing really thinks I'll give up so easily?)

Spotting ECHO

(Just where is HEINO? I need to ask him a few—)

(!)

...Huh.
It's not moving.

Ah...yeah. Hi.
...No, not really.

MR RAINER.
Is there a way to fix this?
It was moving the other day.

...

Huh…
(Just "hjörians"? Not "raincoat-hjörians"?)
What about HEINO?
Geh. He doesn't care if I'm present at all, does he?

(Now then...what should I do with this?)
(ECHO DISPOSAL POINT...was it?)

DOME SOO[]

(!)

(What was that?)

(Made me all dusty...)

Hey! HEINO!
Some guts you have, showing up here before me.
We're supposed to be partners, no?

Are you even listening?

No, no, no, wait!
I won't hold you back! I promise!
I'm just here to hel———

Thinking after being knocked out by HEINO

Unfair.
You're unfair.
You didn't even let me try.
How am I supposed to learn if I'm not allowed to make mistakes?

After restoring VALUE

Hey, ECHO...What's my current VALUE?
Thought so.

(Looks like I'm still in SOO.)
(HEINO...did he just leave me here?)
(I should leave before I get serious fiber damage.)

(To think of it, it's way past WORK PHASE...if I go from here, I can reach TAU in no time.)
(Heh. Maybe I'll even get to return by the time next WORK PHASE starts.)
(Then they'll fix me up, and I'll finally be able to rest.)
(The reason why I'm underperfroming right now is definitely because I'm tired. It has to be.)

ECHO, give me directions. How do I get to DOME TAU?
Got it.
(I should hurry, or I won't make it.)

Getting on Carrier

(...Phew. Hope it's the right one.)

DOME TAU[]

Entering DOME TAU

(At least make it tactile, or something.)

The form...? I can't even read in my condition!
Give it to me after you've healed me!

Ugh...I keep missing the button. What if I click something else by accident?

Phew...Looks like I got it done.
(!?)

Meeting LUKA

Oh, you're here to defragment, too?

I'm ÜLAR.

(I can't see his expression...hope it wasn't the wrong decision.)
(But, he can see my tag anyway. There's no use lying about it.)

What dome are you from, by the way?

Being taken to Blooming Field

("Blooming Field"? What does it have to do with the defragmentation chamber?)

(I don't really have any.)
(Except this.)

(This thing was useless, anyway.)

...? Is this...the defragmentation chamber?
(LUKA's already in.)

(For some reason…)

(I have a bad feeling about this.)

Hey, what are these capsules for?
Standby...? So...for how long will I have to stay inside this?
(What? I never agreed to this!)
(I just want to defragment myself and go!)

(I have to run.)

I'm going home! Let me go!

That's bullshit! I haven't agreed to anything!

(Ugh. He's too strong...why are all of them this strong?!)

(I...might never come back to AINU.)

I'm such an idiot. An idiot who never learns.

Meeting RENE[]

Waking up to RENE chained

...!

Waking up to RENE again

Eek!

(Fix me...up?)
((Oh, right...my eyesight is back? Is this because he did something about it...?)
Just who are you?

(RENE...?)
(This doesn't ring any bells.)
(But...there's something irritating about him. I just can't put my finger on it.)

Thinking about being importatnt to RENE

(Huh...)
(Am "I" that important to you?)
(However...)
(You've got the wrong person.)
(But there's no way I'll say that.)

RENE tending to his wounds

(...)

Looking for MR RAINER after RENE leaves

......
MR RAINER! MR RAINER! Answer me, damn it!
(What now? It can't be that he's upset I ran away...can it?)

RENE brings ERIK

...!

(Job...?)
(Oh, right. "I"'m supposed to be his "employee".)

(Shit. Shit. Shit!)

MR RAINER!
If you don't do anything, I'll die in two shifts! I don't even know how long that is!

...
...It's no use.
Why did it end up like this?
I just wanted to feel a little better.
Is this too much to ask for?

Look at them, comfortable in their coats.

...Ugh. There's no use complaining.
Let's get you to MÜ, shall we?

DOME MÜ[]

Arriving at DOME MÜ

(We made it to DOME MÜ somehow.)
(Everything seems alright so far.)
(Aside from the fact that I'll die soon.)

MÜ Star Factory...it should be this place.
Where am I supposed to leave him?
There's nothing but pylons in here.

Accidentally warping

Huh?

...ERIK?

(Calm down, ÜLAR. You can find him.)

ECHO, locate ERIK.
Shit, it must be because he doesn't count as a person.
Damn it!

(Maybe I should ask somebody about it...?)
(Yet...why am I hesitating?)

Huh?

…?

Leaving VOTING SHOW

(I don't have time for this!)

(If I don't find ERIK soon—)

...!

(EINAR?! Is...is this one the real thing? Or...)

You...

......

Would you please tell your valued customer the way to the exit?

I'm back!

(ERIK's...nowhere in sight.)

(But where do I look for him?)
(It can't be that he went to that corridor in the back all by himself, can it.)
(I have no idea what's beyond there, or if I'm allowed there at all.)

(But...if I'm under the umbrella, then no one will notice me.)

...?
(The "box" this person is carrying...could it be ERIK?)
(There's no way that could be true...right?)
(But RENE said...aah...damn it!)

Approaching AIK[]

Hey! You here!

Have you seen a grey raincoat-hjörian around here?

Uh...
Here! Take this!
It's an Ultra Rare Artefact that makes you invisible!

What about—

(What a rude guy.)
(But...)

(This means the problem is solved! I can go back to TAU.)

Return to DOME TAU

...

RENE's Lab[]

Waking up in hammock

Huh...?

("Dream"...?)

Hey, get ou—

(△△△△! Did—)

("Rest", huh.)

(Easy for you to say...)

Waking up alone

(RENE's...not here.)
What is this place, really?

Checking sewing kit on table

Looks like RENE left his sewing kit here.
Maybe he was in a hurry?

Checking window

The window is covered with some kind of semi-transparent grey material. It's a bit slimy to the touch.
Outside, there's a field full of plants. I'm sort of curious about it. It seems like a quiet place.

Checking red door

This passageway leads to the elevator that goes all the way down to DOME TAU's entrance hall.
You need to have special permission to use it.

Checking blue door

A strange passageway of unknown color. Just where does it lead...?

Luminol Hall[]

(The shelves are...filled with neatly arranged junk?)
(...I thought it'd be something more sinister.)
(What are these even for?)

Uh— No, I just—

These are...Artefacts?

......

(So the value of these Artefacts is "subjective"...)
(Then maybe...my VALUE, too, must be—)

Selecting Tube with a hole in it

So...If I don't bear ill will towards the person, I won't see anything?

Selecting Fleshy (? thing

(Oh...it changed its shape.)

Selecting Floating Spikes

Is that all...? It just looks pretty?

Moving on

A globe...?

("The entire HJÖ in the palm of my hand", he says.)

...

ERIK Stream[]

He's an EV Star now?
I'll pass.

(Does that mean anyone's personality can get overwritten this easily?)

DOME VI[]

Walking to DOME VI with RENE

(RENE said we'll be going to DOME VI together, but for what?)
(These hjörians...they're following him everywhere.)

Who are they?

You mean...they're artificial raincoats?
Did you make them?
(A garden...?)

Arriving at DOME VI

Up there, is a...

Where are we going?

(Wait, aren't these...)

(I should've known. I didn't have a choice to begin with!!)

(This really looks like that room back at TAU...)
(Just what is he going to make me do?)

Urk!!

Field of the Undying[]

Looking out the window

"Let your potential bloom"...

Am I allowed to?

These black flowers...
Huh?!
...Can I?

(The stem looks so frail...it looks like it would break at the slightest touch.)

Bweh.

(Then don't suggest things like that!)
(It scraped the inside of my mouth!)

So it's kinda like the Cloud?

......

Tree of Ignorance[]

Watching RENE working

(RENE...he's always immersed in work.)
(I wonder what he's doing, or...who he is, for that matter.)

(The way he gives out orders like it's something one would naturally do, or the way we can enter just about any facility without asking...)
(Who is he really?)

Uh.

After ÜLAR wakes up from dream

...

(Is something like this even possible?)
(No matter how much I tugged on mine, it wouldn't come off.)

(You're making it sound like I'm the one being worn by the raincoat here...)

(I look like the other ÜLAR...because of the raincoat?)

...!

Why do they only form a bond with hjörians?
Aren't there like... Echoes and etheroids, too?

("Tools", huh...)

Dream Sequence[]

TRIAL Dream Sequence

......

After Circle Dream Sequence

(HEINO...?)

DOME VI[]

Getting out of Dream Cocoon

Hm?

Thinking after seeing the other ÜLAR

I didn't want to look.
Didn't want to think about it.
Didn't want to know.
But, no matter how I framed it,
No matter how much I wanted to avert my eyes,
The one who fell out of the Cocoon was...

Seeing the other ÜLAR

...an "ÜLAR".

......

Get back in there!

Running away

In the end, all I can do is run.
Because I'm a coward.
Because I want these days to continue.
Because I don't want him to know.

Running into RENE

I...

I've seen all the dreams.

DOME TAU[]

In RENE's Lab

(I can't relax at all.)

Luminol Hall

(RENE...gave me a present from his collection.)
(Taught me so many things about this world, even though he didn't have to.)
(Gave someone like me a place to belong.)

(Even though I'm a complete failure, why did he...?)

Thinking

Because I'm a "tool"?
Because I'm "being used"?
None of these words explain the treatment I've gotten that the other ÜLARs didn't.
Just whom did he see when he was looking at me?
RENE, he...even though he called me his employee, he didn't act like I was one.
It's as if it was an excuse.
An excuse...for what?

Crouching

(If only I didn't get curious about that cocoon...)
(I should just stop thinking about it.)

Thinking

Perhaps I should just stop thinking altogether.
Each time I did something on my own accord, I only ended up getting hurt.

RENE arrives

R-RENE

.......

(You call them "complex", but they're only complex for the likes of me.)

RENE is dead

.......RENE?

Hey! Get a hold of yourself!
Didn't you...

Didn't you say that raincoat-hjörians are immortal?

Janitors arrive

What...what are you going to do?

This is...all I have left of him.

Say...if I ate you, would I hear your voice again?

Would you tell me I did well?

Would you tell me more about this world?

All I wanted was to hear over and over again that I'm allowed to live among all of you the way I am.
It didn't matter who'd tell me these words.

How stupid.

Say, RENE?
The Song you once mentioned...I still don't understand what was it all about.

Is that...so.

Then, even someone like me...could also...

Following Discreetely[]

(It's safer not to show myself.)
(Let's see where he's going with it, and snatch it while he isn't looking. This is my only lead right now.)

...?

(!!!)

(What the hell was that?!)
(Is this...the Vanishing?)
(Well, whatever.)
(I'll just check what's in that box.)
(The box...is gone?!)
(Did that guy take it, too?!)

(Shit!)
(If I...)
(If I don't do anything, this guy will be taken away along with ERIK.)
(I can't just tell RENE I lost his cargo.)

(But what can someone like me even do?)

AIK is dumped into water

...

Why me?!

(But if I don't get him back, I can't get out of here on my own.)
(I hate to say it, but this guy is my only hope.)

Hey! Wake up!

No reaction...
Maybe he's out of etherium?

AIK wakes up

Urk!

(What a weird voice. Is that a frequency thing?)

Listen! We have to get out of here!

Thinking

◬◬◬◬. Is he one of the people who know me?
What should I—

AIK is thinking

(He's not that interested...)
(Maybe "I" was just an acquaintance to him.)
Psst, ECHO. Display his tag.

Moving where?

Uh. I don't think I can climb up this wall by myself.
Fiber damage.

(Yes! It worked!)

...!
(Raincoats can do that?!)
You're...taking me with you?
I'm going!

(Hope I don't regret this...)

Where are we right now?
How can you tell?

Do you have any ideas who your kidnappers were?
Hmph.
I really thought it was The Vanishing, or something.
(Hey, don't give me weird labels out of nowhere.)

Clicking Fabric of the Future

Uh...

Talking about Fabric of the Future

...So Fabric of the Future is like a secret club, or something?
But don't they kidnap people?
.......?

Hey, are we far from AINU?
Yeah. There was an uh, a rare Artefact report there the other day.
(I'll keep quiet about TAU for now.)
(Urk. Was that not in-character?)
Forget the Artefact.
There's a malicious patch that'll mess me up if I don't go there, okay?
.......
O-oh! You can do that?!

AIK's Vault[]

(Ew.)

Tsk.

Ugh...
(I have no gel left.)
(I'm actually starting to miss HEINO knocking me out. Those were the only times I was able to rest.)

(I just need something...to eat...isn't there anything?)

(Anything...)

Waking up in glass

(...A melody?)
(No...he's repeatedly muttering something.)

(What was I doing?)
(I was hungry, and then...And then?)

Hey!
What's the meaning of this? Let me out!

AIK...?

DOME AINU[]

Thinking about AIK

In the end, I didn't get the opportunity to ask anything about ERIK.
Or get the patch removed, for that matter.

METRO

(AIK, he...What was he so afraid of?)
(He was so calm before, and then...)

(I don't get him at all.)

Thinking of HEINO

...HEINO has to be around somewhere in AINU.
He must know how to remove the patch.

Seeing HEINO

(!)
HEINO!

Listen, you have to help me.
I got kidnapped and patched. We have to—

(He's...!)

...

Huh?!

I'm HEINO's partner. Me. ÜLAR!

But I—— MR RAINER said——
What—
(Employee card? What's that? MR RAINER sent me so much data, there has to be something—)

(Taking care of Echoes...Connecting to Echonet...Profile...)
Oh! There it is! You're talking about my public profile, right?

I...I...

Realization

I don't have it.
I don't know what to say.
I'm not a Solver.
I'm not even a raincoat-hjörian.
I'm a fraud.
I shouldn't be here.

Running away

I...

Thinking of the others

MR RAINER disappeared.

HEINO is not my partner.

HEINO's actual partner is the psychopath who kidnapped AIK.

EINAR only cares about selling junk.

I'm afraid of RENE.

AIK...Doesn't want to talk to me anymore.

All that's left for me is...

OSKAR approaches

...

...?

Being asked if he's okay

I'm not.
I'm hungry. I'm hurt. I'm tired.
But I can't tell anyone.
Because eating
Because feeling pain
Because feeling tired
Isn't something raincoat-hjörians do.

OSKAR talking

I...
I don't know what to say to him.

I'm going to die.

DOME KRI[]

Entrance

...

I want to eat.

Say, do you have any food here?
Anything is fine. Just...

Waking up at the Pit

What...What was I doing?

No...It's nothing.

Interacting with the threads

There are pieces of black thread growing out of his mouth. They're moving somewhat erratically.

Interacting with raincoat

Looks like a functioning raincoat

Selecting Examine Pockets

A white piece of cloth. I have no use for it.
There's something else.

A small figure.
“The Founder of Life” is engraved on it.
...I'll take it with me.

Selecting Tear it off

...
The fabric persistently clings to the body.

Interacting with the eye

The eye isn't moving.
Borrow the eyeball

...
There's no point in me taking it, after all.

Moving on

Oh, right...
Doesn't everyone have Echoes in them?

Not there.
It's not there.

Train Dream Sequence

HEINO? You're HEINO, right?
Hey...Do you know where is this?

(No answer, as usual.)

?

(Almost all of them have left.)

Eek!

Huh?

(Just what was he trying to tell me?)

(He's gone.)

Festival Hill[]

(It can't be. It can't be. It can't be.)

(Even though I was supposed to be disgusted.)
(Even though I was supposed to loathe it.)
(Even though I was supposed to be afraid.)
What I really felt was—

(Run. I have to run.)
(So I wouldn't succumb to—)

The Pit

All this time.

All this time.

The way I felt towards their treatment of the Echoes...
The way I felt towards the Echoes...
...wasn't fear for my own life.

It was pure, concentrated...

Eating

A neatly wrapped box chock-full of industrial waste.

A worn-out bag filled with inner turmoil and longing.

A pack full of snacks that taste sweet, yet leave ulcers in your mouth.

How did I not realize this before?

This world is full of gifts waiting to be unwrapped!

You never know what you'll find inside!

Waking up Blind[]

(Looks like I passed out...)
(Thanks, One True ÜLAR. Now I can't see shit.)
(Hey. Can you turn my vision back on?)
(Weird. The voice in my head doesn't answer.)
(Oh well. Where is this?)
(There are walls all around me...)

(Hm...? There's a voice coming from above.)

(▲▲▲▲. It's him.)
(Is he talking to someone?)

(...!)

What are you—
▲▲▲▲—!

Cough...cough...

What's going to happen to me?

(Here we go again...)
Wish you would tell me, Original ÜLAR.

(He's so darn stuck on being unique.)

What are you going on about?
I am myself.
