与上次见面相比,她更显疲惫,连声音都沙哑了许多。这次她穿着庄重的家族礼服,举止拘谨小心,但见到我们后仍如以前那般平易近人。此次,我们也见到了她的兄长,一位风度翩翩的领导者。
『这就是银河中唯一的美梦世界,也是家族的驻地。家族将荒芜的梦境改造为人间天堂……』
她的兄长向我们一一介绍匹诺康尼的历史,她帮我们消除入梦的不适,热情地请我们品尝梦境中的美食。
我们游览了梦中的种种奇景,只可惜在这样喧闹的环境下,无法开展深度采访。
最后,我们来到了宏伟的歌剧院。在即将到来的谐乐大典上,她将在这座华美的舞台歌唱,向全宇宙传播同谐的乐声。
就在我以为此次专访即将结束时,她看着辉煌的歌剧院,突然提起采访开始时的问题。
『主编,你还记得我当初问你的问题吗,鸟儿为何要飞向天空?回到匹诺康尼后,我想了很久很久。』
她看向梦境的天空,深沉的夜色下满是人造的光芒。
『也许鸟儿注定要如此,因为那是它的愿望、归宿,以及不可剥夺的权利……』
她微笑着看向某个地方,向我们发出邀请。
『未来,在这里将会有一场盛大的演出。我会在这里表演到目前为止最满意的一首歌,多么希望人们能在歌声中拉起彼此的双手啊——即使是梦中的世界,终究也会有光洒落其间。』
我不知道她看向的是什么地方,但那绝不是歌剧院的舞台。所以,她说的演出又会是什么呢?
唯一确定的是,即便在如此纸醉金迷的地方,她依然没有放弃以强援弱的信念。这样的信念贯穿她人生的始终,从苦涩的前奏开始,进展到优美的主歌,而在暗流涌动的间奏过后,迎来或许是最为华美的绽放和落幕。」

Character Story: Part IV
• Unlocked at Character Level 80
"A year later, we received an invitation to Penacony to continue our previous interview.
She seemed much more exhausted in our second meeting, even her voice had become far more hoarse. This time, she adorned solemn Family attire and seemed to behave with caution. However, she seemed as approachable as ever when we met. This time, we also met her older brother, an elegant leader.
'This is the only dream world in all of the cosmos, and the seat of The Family. The Family transformed a barren Dreamscape into heaven on earth...'
Her brother took us through the detailed history of Penacony as she helped us acclimate to the world of dreams, kindly guiding us to try some Dreamscape cuisine.
We visited various scenic spots in the dreamland. Unfortunately, we were unable to carry out a detailed interview in such loud and crowded environments.
Finally, we came to the great theater. In the upcoming Charmony Festival, she will sing upon this marvelous stage and share her song of Harmony with the entire universe.
Just when I thought this interview was about to come to an end, she looked at the magnificent theater and raised the question she had asked at the beginning of the interview.
'Do you remember the question that I asked you before? Why do birds fly toward the sky? After I returned to Penacony, I thought long and hard about it.'
She looked up into the Dreamscape's sky as artificial light filled the deep, evening sky.
'Perhaps birds are fated to fly as it is their dream, their home, and their irrevocable right...'
She smiled off into the distance, as she offered us an invitation.
'In the future, there will be a grand performance here. I will perform a song that fulfills me like none other before. I hope that people will join their hands and raise them up together through my song... Even inside the world of a dream, light will always find places to shine through.'
I don't know where it was she was looking, but it certainly wasn't the theater stage. So, which performance could it be that she was talking about?
The only thing we can be sure of, is that even in a place of luxury and indulgence, she has not given up on her conviction in 'the strong defending the weak.' This faith has been woven throughout her whole life. Her bitter intro led to an exquisite chorus, could it be that after the surging undercurrent of this interlude, what awaits us is the blooming of a glorious crescendo?"
