 Eve: I'm back to the beginning... Where she and her people were asleep in the conservation device...- Eve entered the cave located deep within Altera Core. Soon, she found herself in a familiar environment.
- Eve: There's nothing more to find out... But should we look around?
- With that, Moby and Remy lit the path. Eve slowly followed and looked around.
- When she just woke up after a long sleep, she believed the red-haired boy ruined everything and was angry. She thought... since the core was destroyed, everything was over.
- But her brethren that entered the preservation device with her already lost all function, was severely damaged due to fallen stalactite, or the contamination of Alterasia.
- It's not likely that they would ever wake up. She is still alone. But...
- A human, who told her he would be her friend...
- After looking around the cave, Eve left a part of her memory for sentimental reasons, and just in case one of her fellow Nasod wakes up despite the terrible condition. She left Altera Core to head to the village.
- ... ... ... ...
- As she entered the Ponggo Village, Eve looked around, taking in the lively atmosphere. All sorts of machine running, and the large pipe would occasionally release hot steam.
- It seemed like she was entering an old machine rather than a village.
- Compared to Adam's facilities, it was chaotic, and less advanced, but Eve felt comfort.
- Eve: How strange. I never visited here, and it looks nothing like cities or villages I've visited... yet it feels strangely familiar.
- Eve: There's an expression humans use, that a place looks 'lived in'... Is this what that feels like?
 Agatha: ... Huh? What do you mean, Pong?- A Ponggo was standing right beside her without her noticing. Eve smiled apologetically.
- Eve: I'm sorry. I was so busy looking around, that I did not notice you approaching. Anyway... This place seem quaint, and warm.
- Agatha: Is that so...? I'm surprised as Nasod would say that, Pong. Perhaps it's because you're an ancient Nasod?
 Amos: Anyway, what are you doing here, Pong? I believe you had something to tell us?- Eve: Yes. I looked around the facilities Adam built and removed the remaining power source. You should be safe now.
- Amos: That's great! Thank you, Pong! Now we can travel around the island more freely.
- Eve: Ah... Are you not planning on leaving this island? Now that Adam is gone, you should be able to escape.
- Agatha: Oh, the El Search Party asked the same thing. It's fine. No matter what happened, this is our home.
- Amos: We may decide to leave later, but that day is not today, Pong!
- Eve: I see. Ah... The Black Crow is right outside the village. There are some Transplant Soldiers left, but they won't be able to attack you.
- Eve: I just took a look, as it was too much for me to handle on my own... Can I request you to handle it in my stead?
- Eve: You can use the airship as you see fit. If you use it to get out of this island, I'm sure the ship will also be happy.
- Agatha: You're right! Thanks a lot.
- Agatha: Leave the soldiers to us. They may not be able to return to normal like Raven, but it would be good for them to have a brand new beginning as well.
- Eve: I'm sorry. I caused you much grief, and now I am causing you more trouble.
- Eve: I... I will leave now. Thank you for your care.
- Amos: Are you going after your friends, Pong?
- Eve: Friends... yes. Now that I have said my farewells, I should go see them.
- Eve: Thank you. Goodbye everyone.
