*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Do you have a special memory tied to nighttime?''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Why do you ask?''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Since this domain is created by illusions, it's likely that the environment is something you're familiar with. I was wondering if there's a special reason why it's nighttime here.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''A special memory... I guess there's a lot. Harque and I could only play together at night. 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. 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.' ''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''What? Why don't they do it themselves then?''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Haha... But it was true. I did occupy a lot of his time. But still, we would sneak out when everyone fell asleep, to play. That night... was the same.''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''.......''
*''(STEP STEP)''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''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. But there's a limit to how much you can increase your lacking power... So I think Harque found another way. A way to maximize the power of the Moon, to compensate for his lacking power of Darkness. I'm not exactly sure what he did to train... But after the nomination trials, Harque told me that he succeeded. 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.''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''When the moon is at its highest...''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Yeah. Like right now. So, I walked down the corridor to Harque's room. When I opened the door, I saw Harque... injured, with an intruder. To keep me safe, Harque was...''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''... Did you see what the intruder looked like?''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''He... He had the same face as my brother.''
*''(STEP... STEP... STEP... .......)''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Door...''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''... That's why I know, what's beyond that door right now.''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''... Can you face it? Noah, it's going to be painful.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''It's fine. I've seen it tens, hundreds of times in m dream. I'm used to it.''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Tsk, that was all a nightmare. It's not fine at all.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''But it might be better this way, since we know what's coming. Let's end this quickly and get out of here.''

*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''(Ah... That man... collapsed facing against the window... 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...)''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''This... isn't it.''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Noah?''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''No... Something's different. This isn't Harque's room. Why are we back at the corridor? And Harque... Harque was definitely alive when I entered the room...?''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Intruder:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Who... are you?''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah2}} '''Young Noah:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''... You, you're.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Damn it...! To play out this way... Snap out of it. That's not real! It's just an illusion created by your guilt!''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah2}} '''Young Noah:''' ''... I finally got rid of him. Harque, the thorn in my eye.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''I... I did it? I'm the one who...?''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah2}} '''Young Noah:''' ''Harque, Harque, Harque. That's all they care about. They don't notice me. They love one, but hate the other. Now that he's gone, my family will finally recognize my worth. I will take over my brother's place.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''No... No...''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Noah. You're not the one who said that. Remember? Those are Titania's words he's spouting! It's showing up in the illusion because you remember it. To provoke you.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Pant... pant... You're right. This is not my memory. I... I never thought something like...''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah2}} '''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.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''That's rubbish! It's not me!!''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''(Shoot... He' already too involved. At this rate, he'll be swallowed up by his guilt. It might be better to risk it now and forcibly wake...!)''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''It's a lie. I liked Harque more than anyone. I'm not that one who killed Harque!''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah2}} '''Young Noah:''' ''I despised him more than anyone. That's why I decided to like him.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''......!!''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah2}} '''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. As long as Harque is there, nobody hurts Noah. Nobody leers at Noah, whispering behind Noah's back. Nobody scolds Noah for being a bad boy. Harque was a good cover. You agree, right?''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Stop with the nonsense! That's because you're not worth it! Saying you want to be like Harque when you don't have the ability to, taking his time, latching onto him at all times! It's because you're useless that nobody likes you! You killed him! It's your fault! If it weren't for you...!''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah2}} '''Young Noah:''' ''....... You're right. It's my fault he's dead.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah2}} '''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. I forced him in a position where he HAD to become a Master... to prove that Noah is not a burden to everyone else... 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. That's why, my brother died protecting me from the intruder. I'm sorry. It's my fault. If I didn't exist, this wouldn't have happened. If it weren't for me...''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''This... This was all inside my mind? This is how I look at myself? How is this any different from a curse?''
*''(RUMBLE RUMBLE.......)''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''... The illusion is breaking. (The emotion that lied in the center of Noah's guilt... That's what created this domain. 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... I'll let him wake up on his own.)''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah2}} '''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...''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''He saved me....''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah2}} '''Young Noah:''' ''He gave me a chance.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''A chance...?''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah2}} '''Young Noah:''' ''It was a chance. Because he wanted you to live.''
*{{StoryIcon|Misty}} '''Misty:''' ''<font color=#F1670A>... He wished for you to live...</font>''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Don't tell me... That pendant...?''
