*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''... Hey.''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Oh my elements...!''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Shhh! Be quiet! Shhh!''
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''Did you find something, Laby?''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Laby just wanted to say how pretty the moonlight looked through the window!''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Did it have to be now?''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Sigh... Fine, let's talk. It's too quiet in ere and it's actually making me nervous.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''We're further inside... But there's nothing other than a few shadows here and there. A lot of dust, too.''
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''But if you look here, you see traces in the dust. Someone was definitely here until recently.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Ran:''' ''......!''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''... I see someone. Look upstairs!''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Ran:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Ran?! You didn't leave. You were still here...!''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Ran...! We've finally got you. I...!''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Ran:''' ''Why... Why did you come all the way here?''
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Did you forget about the past? We're here to take back what you've stolen. And we're going to stop you, too!''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Ran:''' ''...... There's nothing you can find here. Leave.''
*''(STEP, STEP....)''
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''He barely even acknowledged us.''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''He doesn't look like he's willing to fight. Did he really change his mind?''
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''We received an excessive welcome at the Dream Demon's village, and here, we're barely acknowledged. Let's follow him. Which way do we go?''
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''Based on the structure... We'll have to go down first, then go around.''
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''It seems we're always walking these days.''
*''(STEP, STEP, STEP....)''
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''... If we consider what happened after Berthe swallowed the White-Ghost King's soul...''
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''Perhaps... Aren has affected Ran in turn?''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Hmm...? Maybe?''
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''But I thought it only worked with demons? I don't think it's the same with Berthe...''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''... Shh, be quiet. I don't think that's what happened.''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''If Aren is no longer under Ran's control as you said, then why didn't he react when he saw Ara?''
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Oh... That's right...''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''It's fine thinking about the enemy, but... I don't think we should say anything for now.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''.......''

*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''You seem tense. I do think your friends have a point.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Yes, and it's fine. I've only come here with the selfish wish that we can live together if Aren regained his conscience.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''Selfish?''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Me forgiving my brother... I don't think it's my place when there are so many people who were sacrificed.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''So I have two options. If I can save him, I will live my life atoning with my brother...''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''If I cannot, or... if Aren still has hatred in his heart, it's my responsibility to end this with my own hands.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''Humans always think the world revolves around them. You're no different, Ara.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''What happened to your brother is no your responsibility, nor was it something you could prevent. Know that demons had a clear goal.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''Even if it weren't your brother, somebody would have given up their body for the demon, and your home would have still been destroyed as the keeper of the El.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''Ara, I have witnessed many lives and deaths, and the flow of the world in my long life.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''Sometimes, tragedies happen without reason. It had almost, no, absolutely nothing to do with what good or bad deeds they have done.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''But in this case, there was a clear cause.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''You may feel some liability. I will give you that.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''You can only think for yourself. Remember you have no right to represent someone else.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''It's delusional to think your decision will betray the wishes of many others. Do you think your forgiveness or punishment hold that much worth?''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''... If you think I am wrong... then what should I do?''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''You make your own choice. Choosing with your illogical, caring, overly optimistic human heart.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''And if anyone disagrees, persuade them. If you can't, make them see reason with force.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''What you believe as justice was once established by someone with power. So let others see. Write your own justice with your hands.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''That is the human way I know.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''But... that's not right.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''How do you know what's right? What's not right? The world has no such standards.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''There's only what can and cannot be done.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''But it doesn't seem right to make others surrender with force. How is that different from plain refusal to accept?''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''Life is full of refusals.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Sigh... I understand what you are trying to say... But it seems too inconsiderate.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Though, I suppose you've always looked at the bigger picture, with no regard to the small things that come with it.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''Hmph, why should I consider every insignificant detail?''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''It's not insignificant to me!''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''Then why don't you carry it aaaalll on your shoulder. You're stubborn like a mule... I've said my piece, so I'll leave you be.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''You too, Eun. Everyone's going to think you're a mule spirit from how stubborn you are.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''... But thank you, Eun. I know you would think I'm foolish... But I'll keep thinking about it.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Huhu... It seems I'm hearing about choice a lot these days.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''... Oof, be careful. It almost hit.''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Pant, pant. Thee's especially many shadows around here. Why are there so many of them?''
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''We've come quite far. This long corridor... Looks like the meeting hall is down that way.''
*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''A meeting hall? You mean that fancy room where kings and nobles greet their guests?''
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''If he's waiting, he'll meet us there.''
