 Harque: Noah, are you really going to stay? We haven't seen Auntie for a while. I bet she misses you. Young Noah: ... No. Nobody likes me. Even if I go, they'll all be frowning at me.- Harque: That's not true. They all love you.
- Young Noah: Harque... I know. I know everyone hates me because I stole what's rightfully yours.
- Harque: Noah...!
- Young Noah: ... All the adults are worried that our family might not be able to produce a Master this generation. Because we don't have a candidate that can use both elements...
- Young Noah: If you had everything... You'd have been perfect, much more worthy than any other candidates from other families.
- Young Noah: Though it's not much... If I could give all my power to you...
- Harque: Noah, don't be like that.
- Young Noah: ........
- Harque: Being a Master is not about power. There are cases where the candidate passed the trials, but failed to become a Master in the end. Do you know why?
- Young Noah: ... No.
- Harque: A Master is someone who carries out the will of the Goddess. I told you before, right? The Goddess wanted people to create a better world for themselves.
- Harque: Since the Goddess cannot watch over everything, the Masters, as Goddess's priests, must work hard to keep order and peace.
- Harque: That's why the El Masters exist.
- Young Noah: ........
- Harque: I hope you understand that. There must be a reason why the Goddess gave you your powers. Don't feel guilty over it.
- Young Noah: ... Would anybody need my help?
- Harque: Of course. You already did.
 Clamor: ... Noah! Noah! Wake up! Do you hear me? Noah: ... Yes, Clamor.- Clamor: What a relief... Wait, it's not a relief! You idiot! What kind of dummy would take a hit for their weapon?
- Noah: ... I dreamed about Harque. It was so real...
- Clamor: ... I know. I saw the same thing.
- Clamor: Do you know how worried I was that you would fall into that illusion? You might never wake up!
- Noah: That last magic... So it was an illusion spell.
- Noah: Don't worry. I know better than anyone not to settle for such memories.
- Noah: ... We have a lot to ask Titania. Let's go.
- Clamor: ... Illusion spells are tricky. I cannot get rid of it in this form.
- Noah: It's fine. Besides... It's been a while since I've seen Harque healthy like that.
- Clamor: ........

- Clamor: Anyway, where are we?
- Noah: My home. But it's more... messy. Do you think it's because it's any illusion?
- Clamor: Probably because our senses are muddled at the moment. Our actual body is at Rosso's manor.
- Clamor: Since we're relatively unharmed other than the illusion, Titania must have gone somewhere else. I can't figure out what she's after...
- Noah: If I'm the one under a spell, why are you here?
- Clamor: Remember what Yuria said? We're connected. I'm not exactly sure how...
- Clamor: But I suspect when your power was seeped out due to the altar, it somehow influenced me, since I was close by.
- Noah: Haha... I guess me taking the spell served no purpose if you were going to be here as well.
- Clamor: ... Is that all you've got to say on this matter, you troublemaker! Sigh...
- Noah: What should I do to break the illusion?
- Clamor: That, I don't know.
- Clamor: Only that there's some kind of condition... Like how you can stop hiccups by holding your breath.
- Noah: I guess there's no way around it but to go through with this.
- Noah: Anyway, this place... It's been a while. It really feels like I came back home.
- Noah: I had lots of memories here. Both good and bad...
- Clamor: No! Stop! Bad Noah!
- Noah: ... I'm not a dog.
- Clamor: This is not real. It looks like some place familiar to you, but it's only an illusion created by your mind.
- Clamor: This illusion will try to provoke you somehow. Show you a painful memory, a memory with regret, or lure you with sweet promises...
- Clamor: Regardless of the method, this illusion will try to ensnare you, using a desire you weren't even aware of.
- Noah: Is it really impossible for you to break the spell? What if I lend you my power...
- Clamor: Ah, well... I don't think I can, now that you're already under the spell. I can try forcibly waking you up, but it may harm you in some way.
- Clamor: I have to shock your mind somehow, so I'd rather not attempt it unless we're really in a pickle.
- Noah: ... Any way to take down the caster?
- Clamor: You don't always wake up from an illusion even if you defeat the caster. Illusions don't work like that.
- Clamor: Even if Titania is the one that cast the spell, your mind is the one that creates this environment. You have to wake up on your own.
- Clamor: So you have to stay focused, alright? Don't let your mind wander off.
- Noah: As long as you keep talking, it will be fine Clamor. You stand out no matter where you are.
- Clamor: ... Is that a compliment?
- Noah: Think what you want.

- (STEP STEP)
- Clamor: Do you have a special memory tied to nighttime?
- Noah: Why do you ask?
- Clamor: Since this domain is created by illusions, it's likely that the environment is something you're familiar with.
- Clamor: I was wondering if there's a special reason why it's nighttime here.
- Noah: A special memory... I guess there's a lot. Harque and I could only play together at night.
- Noah: He was too busy training, that we could only meet at night. We couldn't even do that as the nomination trials came closer though.
- Noah: Auntie would scold us both, saying 'If you have time to play with your brother, study one more page, and you stop disturbing your brother's studies.'
- Clamor: What? Why don't they do it themselves then?
- Noah: Haha... But it was true. I did occupy a lot of his time.
- Noah: But still, we would sneak out when everyone fell asleep, to play.
- Noah: That night... was the same.
- Clamor: .......
- (STEP STEP)
- Noah: Moon Master must be proficient in both the power of the Moon and the power of Darkness, two powers that are similar, yet different, like two sides of a coin.
- Noah: But there's a limit to how much you can increase your lacking power... So I think Harque found another way.
- Noah: A way to maximize the power of the Moon, to compensate for his lacking power of Darkness.
- Noah: I'm not exactly sure what he did to train... But after the nomination trials, Harque told me that he succeeded.
- Noah: He told me he had something to give me, so I should come to his room that night... when the moon is at its highest.
- Clamor: When the moon is at its highest...
- Noah: Yeah. Like right now.
- Noah: So, I walked down the corridor to Harque's room. When I opened the door, I saw Harque... injured, with an intruder.
- Noah: To keep me safe, Harque was...
- Clamor: ... Did you see what the intruder looked like?
- Noah: He... He had the same face as my brother.
- (STEP... STEP... STEP... .......)
- Clamor: Door...
- Noah: ... That's why I know, what's beyond that door right now.
- Clamor: ... Can you face it? Noah, it's going to be painful.
- Noah: It's fine. I've seen it tens, hundreds of times in m dream. I'm used to it.
- Clamor: Tsk, that was all a nightmare. It's not fine at all.
- Noah: But it might be better this way, since we know what's coming.
- Noah: Let's end this quickly and get out of here.
- (CLICK, SQUUEEEEEK...)

- Clamor: (Ah... That man... collapsed facing against the window...)
- Clamor: (It's terrible. Having to witness something like this... I should have tried harder to stop Noah. His mental fortitude probably weakened already, due to the illusion...)
- Noah: This... isn't it.
- Clamor: Noah?
- Noah: No... Something's different. This isn't Harque's room. Why are we back at the corridor?
- Noah: And Harque... Harque was definitely alive when I entered the room...?
 Intruder: .......- Noah: Who... are you?
- Young Noah: .......
- Noah: ... You, you're.......
- Clamor: Damn it...! To play out this way...
- Clamor: Snap out of it. That's not real! It's just an illusion created by your guilt!
- Young Noah: ... I finally got rid of him. Harque, the thorn in my eye.
- Noah: I... I did it? I'm the one who...?
- Young Noah: Harque, Harque, Harque. That's all they care about. They don't notice me. They love one, but hate the other.
- Young Noah: Now that he's gone, my family will finally recognize my worth.
- Young Noah: I will take over my brother's place.
- Noah: No... No...
- Clamor: Noah. You're not the one who said that. Remember? Those are Titania's words he's spouting!
- Clamor: It's showing up in the illusion because you remember it. To provoke you.
- Noah: Pant... pant... You're right. This is not my memory. I... I never thought something like...
- Young Noah: I always thought about it. 'Useless Noah. You'll never be worth even half of your brother.' They kept comparing us like that. So I killed him.
- Noah: That's rubbish! It's not me!!
- Clamor: (Shoot... He' already too involved. At this rate, he'll be swallowed up by his guilt.)
- Clamor: (It might be better to risk it now and forcibly wake...!)
- Noah: It's a lie. I liked Harque more than anyone. I'm not that one who killed Harque!
- Young Noah: I despised him more than anyone. That's why I decided to like him.
- Noah: ......!!
- Young Noah: I would beg him to stay, that I wanted to stay with him, childishly demand not to leave me alone, because I'm too scared to sleep my myself. That way, Harque would have to look after me.
- Young Noah: As long as Harque is there, nobody hurts Noah.
- Young Noah: Nobody leers at Noah, whispering behind Noah's back. Nobody scolds Noah for being a bad boy.
- Young Noah: Harque was a good cover. You agree, right?
- Noah: Stop with the nonsense! That's because you're not worth it!
- Noah: Saying you want to be like Harque when you don't have the ability to, taking his time, latching onto him at all times!
- Noah: It's because you're useless that nobody likes you! You killed him! It's your fault! If it weren't for you...!
- Young Noah: .......
- Young Noah: You're right. It's my fault he's dead.
- Noah: .......
- Young Noah: I'm the reason he died. Because I stayed away from others, and stayed in my room, too scared to do anything, I burdened him.
- Young Noah: I forced him in a position where he HAD to become a Master... to prove that Noah is not a burden to everyone else...
- Young Noah: Because I like Harque, I willfully acted ignorant, wished that Harque will always stay by my side. I acted as if I'm incapable of anything without him.
- Young Noah: That's why, my brother died protecting me from the intruder.
- Young Noah: I'm sorry. It's my fault. If I didn't exist, this wouldn't have happened. If it weren't for me...
- Noah: This... This was all inside my mind? This is how I look at myself?
- Noah: How is this any different from a curse?
- (RUMBLE RUMBLE.......)
- Clamor: ... The illusion is breaking.
- Clamor: (The emotion that lied in the center of Noah's guilt... That's what created this domain.)
- Clamor: (It was essentially ripping the wound that was starting to scab over. But sometimes it's necessary. This was the answer. Alright. If this is truly what you want...)
- Clamor: (I'll let him wake up on his own.)
- Young Noah: Even though I loved my brother so much, I didn't even notice when the imposter took his place. Still, Harque gave me a chance...
- Noah: He saved me....
- Young Noah: He gave me a chance.
- Noah: A chance...?
- Young Noah: It was a chance. Because he wanted you to live.
 Misty: ... He wished for you to live...- Noah: Don't tell me... That pendant...?
