角色故事•三(解锁条件:角色等级60)
「亲爱的三月七:
夜是如此漫长…是因为听不到你的声音么?
我庆幸你的沉睡,如此便不必亲眼目睹翁法罗斯的午夜,这处你最初抵达的遗迹,埋藏着最无情的,遗忘的气息。
无边的噩梦从这里涌出,吞没银河…你不会喜欢的。
就像我曾经的困惑一样——被记忆裹挟的「过去」,无法诞生任何新的「未来」。
三千万世,那女孩徒劳地将记忆收集,向天外主宰记忆的神明祈祷。
可那些伤痕累累的回忆,那粉饰为『英雄故事』的记忆的涟漪,都是毁灭的薪柴…他们,真的会有任何结果么?
可奇怪的是,那女孩的一举一动,她所描绘的故事,有时让我想起了你。你也总在每次旅程之后,绘声绘色地讲述自己的冒险故事,想象奇妙的未来。
你爱说,有一天,你会用相机的闪光灯,为大家照亮探索的前路。
你曾说,你一定会用上『斩星破宙 · 大琉璃剑』保护列车组的所有人。
你也说,你会变得成熟、优雅、强大,带领着大家前进。
你的那些遐想…一笔一划都勾勒在我的沉眠中。
那么…如果是你,在听到一个无缘未来的故事时,会想做怎样的润色呢?
我也曾思考,怎样让那女孩讲的『故事』,不徘徊在周而复始的岁月里…你应该理所当然就会这么做吧?
但当我透过岁月的罅隙窥视这个世界『记忆』的始末时…我知道那伪善的天父,祂早已背向翁法罗斯,将目光朝向『毁灭』。而祂狂热的信徒,也将追着记忆的残照,再次寻上你……
纵然是你的伙伴,开拓的行者们,他们的到来不过延缓了孕育『毁灭』的进度——
我们唯一的出路,一场彻底的『感官之雨』,它会涤净这里一切徒劳而惨烈的痕迹,你的伙伴,只需要一场沉睡,便能迎来再度启程的机会。
这场『雨』不会持续太久,它会将一切痛苦的记忆冲刷殆尽——也许「忘却」才是唯一出口。
然后,我就可以在这本名为「翁法罗斯」的手账中,真正贴上你想要的未来。
不要睁眼,三月。
残酷的事,就由我代劳吧♭
你的,
『长夜月』♭」

Character Story: Part III
• Unlocked at Character Level 60
"Dear March 7th,
The night feels so long... Is it because I can't hear your voice?
I'm grateful for your slumber, for it spares you from witnessing the midnight of Amphoreus. These ruins where you first arrived, buried deep with the most ruthless essence of Oblivion.
Endless nightmares surge forth from here, devouring the cosmos... You won't like it.
Just like my past confusion... when trapped by the Remembrance, no new "future" can ever be born.
For thirty million lives, that girl futilely gathered the memories, praying to the deity with authority over the Remembrance beyond the sky.
But those scarred memories, those ripples of memories disguised as "heroic tales," are all just fuel for Destruction... Will they ever amount to anything at all?
But strangely enough, that girl's every move and the stories she tells sometimes remind me of you. You, too, after every journey, would vividly recount your adventure stories and imagine wonderful futures.
You used to say that one day, you'd light the path ahead for everyone with your camera flash.
You once said you'd definitely protect the Express Crew with your "Starshatter: Shard Supreme."
You also said you'd become mature, elegant, and strong, leading everyone forward.
Your wild imagination... every stroke and line is etched into my dormancy.
So... if it were you, how would you embellish a story of an unreachable future?
I have pondered how to keep that girl's "story" from wandering in the endless cycle of years, too... You would naturally do the same, wouldn't you?
But when I peered through the cracks of time to see the beginning and end of this world's memories... I knew that hypocritical sky father had already turned THEIR back on the Amphoreus, setting THEIR gaze toward the Destruction. And THEIR maniacal followers will chase after the afterglow of memories to find you once again...
Even your companions, striders of the Trailblaze — their arrival merely delays the gestation of Destruction—
Our only way out, a thorough "Rain of Sensation," will cleanse all traces of futile agony here. Your companions need only fall into slumber to gain the chance for a new departure.
This "rain" won't last forever. It will wash away all painful memories. Perhaps "Oblivion" is the only exit.
Then, in this journal called Amphoreus, I can finally paste the future you've been yearning for.
Keep your eyes closed, March.
I'll take care of the cruel part ♭
Yours truly,
'Evernight' ♭"
