Unknown Location[]
Just waking up, name listed as △△△
- Don't touch me!
- ...
- That much I already understand.
- What are you doing here in the first place?
- Huh...ÖÖKRON?
- The time required to traverse this far should be...
Planning to move, name now listed as AIK
- Let's get moving.
- Up.
- See?
- We can escape through the pores in the ceiling.
- And why is that?
- ......
- There's no helping it, then.
- Activating transfromation patch.
- This form is optimal for vertical movement.
- Get on my back.
- ...?
- Weren't you the one who wanted out?
- I owe you for getting me out of the rainwater.
Climbing
- This is an area near The Tunnels, so I'm more or less familiar with it.
- Do you see the suspended threads above?
- This is The Healing Swarm, or more simply, psyworms — the result of raincoat fibers getting soaked in the Rain and mutating over time.
- It covers most of the tunnels near DOME ÖÖKRON, spanning over the area more than 50 kilometers in radius.
- Once you get into their web, they'll infest your fibers, and your mind will be trapped in a simulated reality.
- Though, you wouldn't be able to tell from that point on.
- A few hunches, but I'm not sharing.
- As expected from a polyphonist. Do you ever check your sources?
- Do you know what Fabric of the Future is even about?
Clicking Fabric of the Future
- Notice anything?
- (Sigh)
- Shortly put, it's a common echochamber invitation.
Talking about Fabric of the Future
- Oh, they do. Everyone's looking forward to it.
- It's public entertainment. Why am I even explaining this?
- In any case, my kidnapping and The Vanishing are two separate occurrences.
- However, you do have a point.
- Someone might be using the name of The Vanishing to achieve their own goals.
- So nobody notices the actual disappearances.
- AINU?
- Going to AINU? You?
- A malicious patch...?
- Is this how AINU treats its workers these days?
- Though, judging by your odd behavior, there might be dark patterns at work.
- However, I do owe you, so I'll overlook it for now.
- If a patch is the problem, I can alter it in my vault.
- Don't—— Don't cling to me!
- We're almost there.
- Welcome to The Tunnels, in case you forgot.
The Tunnels[]
After capturing Reverse ÜLAR
- State your business.
- If it's not worth my time...
- I'm not in the mood for jokes.
- ......
- I'll look into it.
- ...As long as you fulfill my request.

- It's AIK. Have you completed my request?
- This coat...it's definitely abnormal. Just where did you get it from?
- Around 3% of it is coded in a language I'm familiar with, but the rest seems to be pure gibberish.
- Only the basic life functions: shape memory, senses, motor skills. A very limited data storage. It denies any patches, doesn't sporify nor regenerate on its own.
- As for the rest...I can't promise any results until I figure out the logic behind it.
- I'm not telling until you do your part.
