Arlecchino Story Quest (Full Quest) When the Hearth-Flame Goes Out | Genshin Impact 4.6

hey traveler Pimon oh Pon knows that [Music] voice over [Music] [Music] here to borrow one of the more popular turns of phrase at the moment this appears to be quite the faded re I running into you two out of the blue like this has really made my day I certainly wasn't expecting it you can say that again what brings you to P wait P's got it you must be here for one of your magic shows right um actually we've run into a bit of trouble on the home front so father arranged for us to stay in pulon for the time being oh are Lynette and F here too yeah yep along with most of the other members of the House of the Hearth you may have noticed Pon seems a bit more crowded than usual so you're saying nearly the entire organization has moved to P sounds like you've run into way more than just a bit of trouble what's really going on um well since the two of you are so curious perhaps I can fill in the gaps you scared by have to death father you're here um you know on second thought maybe we don't need to know it's all probably super confidential House of the heart stuff right we totally weren't trying to pry or anything no need to be nervous I could sense your genuine concern from your conversation just now of course I can also understand your confusion sending so many foule here to Pon it's only natural that some might suspect an ulterior motive to be involved I understand I'm well aware you've had your fair share of confrontations with the foule in the past and I can't exactly guarantee that we'll remain on good terms in the future as for right now however I would say we have little reason to be at odds wouldn't you you agree the house of the Hearth could stand to be more open with those who have worked so closely with us in the past as for the issue at hand well it hardly relates to any ulterior motive to be frank it all stems from a certain rumor circulating around the house of the Hearth it's an internal matter what sort of rumor a rumor that a certain f Phantom child is hiding Away In The House of the Hearth a phantom child just hearing the name is giving p on the creeps a spirit that should have long ceased to exist is lurking In the Shadows Of The House of the Hearth so I decided to bring the children to Pon before continuing to investigate the situation I expect I should be able to track down the spirit fairly quickly after that it's just a matter of resoling in the situation if you will it shouldn't be much trouble at all if you're curious or if you still have some concerns it might be advisable to stick around for a few days I'm sure the children would be exceedingly pleased to welcome some visitors Lenny I'll leave you to entertain our guests I have some matters to attend to of course father [Music] H it has long been a dream of mine to invite you to our home and introduce you to my other siblings you're quite well known in the organization already a lot of people have been talking about you especially after everything with the prophecy if you're willing why don't you stay a while and have a little chat with [Music] us all right we don't have anything else to do right now anyway but let's be clear we're just going to be there as guests okay don't get any funny oh wait a second for your guest that probably means we'll be treated to lots of yummy food right of course during our stay in Pon we've been helping out the locals with some fishing we bring in quite the Bounty every day in fact today is the perfect chance for me to show you what I can do in the kitchen let's go I'll take you to where we're staying [Music] we rented this house from one of the locals to use as a temporary base I'll come back later and tidy up a bit after that it should be all ready for you to stay in tonight awesome thanks so where are we off to now well when I happened to run into you two earlier I was actually in the middle of distributing some supplies with this many people staying in Pon we have to bring in outside supplies every now and then I should probably make sure the rest of these Provisions get delivered otherwise people might start to get antsy okay we'll come with there are all sorts of rumors about your organization floating around out there pont's not sure if she could even take a wild guess as to what's true and what's not but now that we finally have the chance to see a day in the life of the house we can take a good look look at how you operate well you're more than welcome to come along just follow [Music] [Music] me Linny we're finally here the supplies I'm assuming you've brought them with me yep here you go uh hello something caught your eye it's the traveler and [Music] Pimon no way come here everyone hurry the traveler and Pon are here one at a time please don't crowd around them all at once we don't want to scare off our guests now do we oh it's all right got to say Pon didn't realize we were this famous of course father and Linny have told us so much about you father told us about how you helped Linny according to her you're a trustworthy friend and as far as she's concerned that's pretty much the highest compliment we've ever heard her give as you can imagine everyone's been very curious about you I heard the traveler is so strong that he can move a mountain with his bare hands I heard Pon eats so much that she can clean out the entire Pantry at hotel Tor in just 3 days wait a second that's the rumor you heard about Pon oh not cool at all oh wait when guests visit you're supposed to give them gifts and stuff right oh we don't need something like that besides we don't have anything to give to you come on we insist I can give you some of my new potions just pick your poison and by that I mean medicine or actual poison I got both huh or maybe shapo can teach you guys about Stealth he's super good at it he's never been caught huh now that's not a bad idea I know you usually prefer to fight headon but it never hurts to expand your bag of tricks right when it comes to eliminating your enemies staying quiet can go a long way trust me I would know I was poisoned not too long ago and I'm still dealing with the after effects so I'm not quite as good as I was before but I can still give you some pointers um wait I when you said gifts H didn't think you meant poison and stealth tactics but those are the best things we can get you you don't like them ooh how about this tell me the name of someone you really annoys you and we'll teach him a lesson for you all right fold cir I think that's enough suggestions for now when it comes to being a good host it's the thought that counts you don't need a physical gift to make our guests happy in fact p ing them with suggestion after suggestion might make them more annoyed than anything I would say Your Enthusiasm has certainly gotten across really awesome it's been so long since we have had guest to play with if there's anything you need just let us know yeah especially if it's poison or something I've got all sorts of potions for that well we'll talk to you all later we've still got supplies to distribute all right see you later bye um Lenny about all that pois and stuff tactics talk just now scared you did it that kind of talk comes with being part of the House of the Hearth when folz was really young he strangled all of his family pets just out of curiosity he was labeled a dangerous Problem Child and was abandoned by his family eloir has an unnatural obsession with potions father has forbidden her from trying all the different concoctions she comes up with but she still tries to test them in secret you really have to keep an eye on that one shapo is around my age well I'm mainly responsible for collecting intelligence he handles surveillance he's very passionate about his work and has No Reservations about taking on some very difficult missions I know you two probably aren't used to that kind of talk but I can promise you they only had the best of intentions things like stealth tactics and developing different poisons they really mean a lot to them they were just trying to share the best of what they could offer that's all [Music] phol supplies are here thanks and who are these two Outsiders ah allow me to introduce you this is the traveler and pigon oh you're the famous Duo I've been hearing so much about it's nice to meet you I heard you've traveled to all sorts of places is that true of course we're making our way all across to that oh good for you you must be pretty familiar with Fontaine by now then have you seen the new Opera that started running recently I think it's called the 4,000 thieves oh this is the first we've heard of it it's seems like it's going to be fantastic uh from what I've been able to tell from the posters anyway you should definitely check it out if you have the time oh and there's the blind Maiden too that one is supposed to have audience interaction seems pretty [Music] interesting after this mission is over I think I'll go get a manicure oh uh maybe I should dye my hair h H wonder how much it'll cost um is it just Pon or do these two seem much easier to get along with than the others looks like the house of the Hearth has some normal members after all I heard that oh uh oops I'm guessing you're referring to fults and the others yeah we're definitely not all like them I bet those crazies are practically foaming at the mouth right now I'm sure they just can't wait to get back to SN Nia to carry out the plan that's enough filio ah don't talk about family members behind their back right whatever let's go um guess this is goodbye then if you ever have some time we should go see the Opera together well that's it for the supplies we should probably head back as [Music] well well they didn't seem too happy with each other seems like there could be something more going on here you're right we're only here as guest after all oh uh linny's getting super far ahead come on let's catch [Applause] up so what do you think of the members you've met so far well father is always encouraging us to be strong willed and independent so if there's one thing we've got it's people who aren't afraid to speak their mind well I should probably get cooking want to join of course then let's head out and huh frin what are you doing here H well um PR nice to see you again oh uh you too I heard you're here as guests of house of the Hearth welcome we were just going to make some food why don't you come along I could use some help in the kitchen and I seem to remember you mentioning you wanted to make seafood soup for the traveler in Pimon seafood soup oh pman is drooling already were you looking for something just now fremin maybe I can help H it's nothing I just wanted to see if there were any extra supplies yeah we've got some left over what do you need some food and water and some clean cloth if possible no problem give me a second here food water wait a minute what do you need all of those for you're not on any missions as far as I'm aware and you were just going to come eat with us so what's this all about I I thought I'd grab an extra portion because I get hungry at night could be because I'm growing you know and frem you remember what I told you you're not like me your lying skills still need some work tell me what's going on is it really bad enough that you have to keep it from your own brother um maybe it'll be better if we gave them some space huh this is the first time I've seen that kind of look on your face whatever happened does it have something to do with father yes just follow [Music] [Music] me you're back oh and you've brought some friends with you this time hello my name's Lenny I grew up In The House of the Hearth and you are hi Lenny I'm also a child of the House of the Hearth just like you you can call me clairy clairy it's nice to meet you does that name ring any bells Lenny no not at all that's not a name we have on our roster I'm sure of it what I'm not sure of though is how she managed to sneak in she must be the Phantom child father's been searching for from the looks of it I'm guessing you were the one that found her fremin you uh haven't told father have you no I haven't told anyone I've just been keeping her hidden for how [Music] long about half a month now so ever since we got to Pon then do you have any idea what you're doing I know what I'm doing really cuz from where I'm standing it looks like you're hiding the very person father has been trying to find if father finds out about this everyone involved is going to be punished you know know the rules of the house femin I know you do father doesn't tolerate any form of betrayal so why are you doing this I've thought it through and I just can't hand her over like that Lenny don't you remember last year shapo nearly died after getting poisoned during that one Mission he wasn't able to get back before the poison started taking effect and not a single person was there to help him that night while I was sleeping I Heard a Voice telling me to go save him I opened my eyes but I couldn't find the source of the voice I thought maybe I was just hearing things but I went to look for him anyway luckily I got there with enough time to save his life that feeling of being haunted of hearing voices it's happened many times in the house of the Hearth I'm sure sure you've noticed so what you're saying is that was her she was the one who spoke to you that night unless there are other Spirits roaming around the house of the Hearth I don't think there's any other possibility if clairy were our enemy it wouldn't matter whether she was a spirit or an actual child I would have acted without a second thought because that's what father ordered us to do but she's been living with us helping us from the shadow all this time I think that makes her family I couldn't just hand her over to be dealt with not when there's so much we still don't know so what's your plan then you can't keep her here forever someone is bound to find out eventually I haven't thought that far yet I don't want to disobey an order from father but I also don't want to put clairy in danger come with me there are a couple things I'd like to say to you in [Music] private those two sure care a lot about each other well they got a funny way of showing it from where Pon was floating it sure seemed like they were about to bite each other's heads off no way they have a really deep bond I could tell right away cuz I also have a friend like that I just don't know how long that kind of bond can last the darkness in the house runs deeper than you can imagine no one can get out alive I'm sorry Lenny I really didn't mean to drag anyone else into this oh really you didn't mean to cuz I for one wish you did huh what do you mean you know when we were younger you didn't call me Linny you called me brother just like Lynette we grew up together the three of us we were all orphans all rescued by father of all the siblings In The House of the Hearth I think our bond was the closest later on when you started calling me Linny I wasn't actually surprised after all Lynette and I are related by blood we've had to depend on each other to survive long before we join the house Lenny I the darkest and most difficult moments of my life happened before you and I had ever met I'm sure that's true for you as well even so frem we've stood by each other for all these years now and to me that means more than blood you and Lynette are the most important people in my life no one can replace you so I won't let you face anything alone not if I can help it oh looks like things are getting kind of heated between Lenny and fem maybe we should go check on them oh it's raining I should put my clothes [Music] away ah hey you two hope we aren't interrupting anything like a fight or oh wait a minute fate you're not crying are you is everything all [Music] right everything's fine thanks for asking well we're all friends here right we've been through so much together so if there's anything we can do to help just say the word it's just a small family dispute it's not something our guests should trouble themselves with in fact it might be better if your stay ended here uh what are you getting at Traveler when guests are around families are often on their best behavior and any disputes are less likely to escalate that's what you're trying to say isn't it I just thank you I was really hoping to keep you out of it but even if I could think of some other reason to turn you away I'm not sure I could convince you I know things could turn dangerous so I promise you this from now on I'll protect you like my life depends on it me too well back to the matter at hand then if we don't plan on handing CL lar over to Father then our only other option is to solve the mystery of her identity before father is able to track her down that means finding out where she came from and what she's doing here then we can send her on her Merry way and pretend like none of this ever happened I've tried that already and and nothing I tried taking her somewhere really far away but but after some time she just reappeared she even came with us all the way to Pon it seems like wherever the house is she follows H I don't know much about spirits do you two have any ideas I let's see here oh I pman remembers hearing something like if you fulfill a spirit's Last Wish before they died they'll let go of whatever is keeping them here and return to the lay lines oh it's just that my doesn't really remember where she heard that so so it's not guaranteed to work or anything well sounds like it's worth a shot guess that means we should go ask her about her wish but first fremin I need you to promise me something what is it I need you to promise me that this will stay between the two of us we are the masterminds behind this whole thing no one else gets involved can you do that for me of course I promise all right then let's seal the promise just like when we were kids fist bump on three ready 1 2 3 I swear [Music] whoa Linette but what a surprise what brings you here dear sister and uh when exactly did you get here you're an idiot brother [Music] um and you too fem you three traveler and you four Pimon wait what did we do I've seen clairy around the house of the Hearth before I hadn't seen her in Pon so I figured she must not have come with us but it turns out you were just hiding her I heard you talking about your plan rather than stearing clear of the situation I'd rather fully join in if you don't agree I'll have no choice but to report everything back to Father simple as that you're not giving us much wiggle room here Lynette well I guess we're all in this together then after we talk to Clair we'll figure out our next move there's no time to lose let's go [Music] I'm full thank you for bringing me this food you guys um she said she's full but the food doesn't look like it's even been touched that's right based on what I've been able to observe it doesn't seem like clairy can interact with the physical world at all still when she's presented with food She'll always linger were around it for a good little while maybe in her mind she really is eating those [Music] things does she know that she has already passed away I've tried to ask her but she didn't answer my guess is that she's just as confused as we are or maybe she couldn't understand the question at all all clairy if you've got some time I'd like to ask you a few questions sure oh another new friend hi I'm clairy hello clairy how did you join the house of the Hearth huh isn't it the same for everybody the Nave brings you here and then you can't leave it's just that your name it's not on the roster and I've never seen you before the roster oh I get it now I think there might be some things you don't know about this place the people in charge they're not as nice as they look they say they keep a roster but it's not complete there are a lot of people who aren't on it and never will be in this house some people are family and other people are just test subjects those wait does does that mean the N she is there anyone that can vouch for you Mary she's my best friend she's the only one I trust in this place have either of you heard of that name before no me neither clairy Perry neither of those names are on the roster but it seems like she's telling the truth either that or this kid's already got a bag of tricks bigger than mine H maybe we should try a different approach clairy do you have a wish a wish it can be anything you want just imagine it's your birthday you're blowing out the candles and your wish [Music] is to to go outside where the sun can find me that's it well that sounds easy enough the darkness in the house runs deeper than you can imagine no one can get out alive okay time to divide and conquer listen up I've got a plan I'll try find a way to use basic ucer magic to take Clare outside and bring her somewhere with sunlight Lynette try and find the list of executions that clairy was talking about and see if her name is on it frem you stay in Pon we can't be the only ones who've had run-ins with clery I need you to collect Intel on everything she said and done understood I'll try my my best what about us what should we do I really appreciate your willingness to help but this is a family matter I don't want to drag you in too deep it's too risky let me think since father considers you to be guests maybe you could stick by her side for a little while you don't need to do anything except keep up some nice casual conversation a p get it you want us to distract her I'll give you a magic bird if father suspects something all you need to do is release it when she's not looking and it'll alert me that something's wrong of course that's only as a last resort if father doesn't seem to notice us there's no need to make contact we'll reconvene here tonight after all said and done if the worst case scenario happens and we're discovered just tell father everything we're not going to let our guests get punished for our own actions that's where we draw the line you too okay this is where we part father should be at the beach nearby I really hope this goes well no it has to go well that's the only way this can get resolved [Music] clairy I'd like to take you somewhere is that okay with you sure where are we going [Music] [Music] [Music] take it easy [Music] it's the Nave and [Music] child hey aren't you supposed to be in snia recuperating what are you still doing in vain oh it's you two I didn't expect to run into you here I was unconscious for quite a while after the fight in the primordial SE see after I woke up I realized I was being taken back to snia and well I couldn't have that now could I not when I've still got unfinished business here in Fontaine so I mustered up all my strength and made the Journey Back On My Own what sort of Unfinished Business are we talking here it has to do with skirk my master I really wanted to meet up with her but by the time I got back she had already left I still have so many questions for her without any other leads all I could do was ask the Nave to help me track her down she must have left behind some traces from her time in [Music] Fontaine oh okay so have you found any clues unfortunately no while the house of the Hearth is adept at collecting all manner of intelligence certain existences can still managed to escape our purview basically unless Master feels there's a need to meet with me she's not going to be found but that problem has an easy fix I just need to become stronger and then uh pman thinks you should focus on getting better first the worst of it is over it's all thanks to that one kid from The House of the Hearth elw War I think her her name was she gave me a bunch of random potions to drink they didn't go down easy let me tell you pain and chills all over but they really did help speed up my recovery and that's good because it looks like I really do have to head back this time the old man's been putting the pressure on me he sent someone to tell me I'm needed for some sort of project project [Music] stoua yeah that's the one I heard reg graters in evolved too I'm not looking forward to having to listen to all his monologuing that's for sure hey maybe you could think of a way for me to stay in Fontaine for a little longer helping Linny and the others brush up on their fighting skills would be far more interesting if you and I could Spar that would be even better I've been waiting for a chance to see you go all out and what a sweet little Daydream that is but I also have a role to play in all this I'll be leaving Fontaine shortly as well besides considering how little they see fit to step outside the Homeland being called on to return to snaga by such illustrious dignitaries what a great honor wouldn't you agree one I could do without I'd say uh is it just Pon or does it kind of seem like they're so dear guests of the House of the Hearth to what do I owe the visit um well we just um right we're super close to Linny and the others but we still don't know much about you is that so introductions have already been made have they not oh uh well you see there's only so much you can learn about someone from a short introduction at least tell us something a little extra like why do you call yourself father huh good question I'd also like to know the fact that you have to ask tells me our intelligence work has been quite successful telling you the answer to that question would only serve to undermine that success and we can't have that now can we spoken like a true Diplomat that was some expert sidest stepping right there well if there's nothing else I think I'll take my leave I still have a small matter to resolve at home uh wait don't [Music] go I'd also like to hear the answer to this I've met some of the members of your organization and they all seemed like really good kids they actually reminded me of Tonia and T which by the way if you ever betray them I'm just letting you know I won't let you off easy and why would I betray them well you've already betrayed The House of the Hearth once haven't you at least that's what I [Music] heard H okay okay I admit that's just what the old man told me the rooster I [Music] mean wait did you really do something bad to those kids never mind what I've done I'm more curious as to what the mighty rooster had to say care to enlighten me ah well nothing much just some stuff about you taking out many other members of the House of the Hearth and even going so far to attack your own family H I see well based on your reaction I'm guessing it's all a bunch of Lies hardly I don't appreciate his particular turns of phrase but I suppose he didn't say anything untrue although it would be more accurate to say that there is a certain level of prejudice involved but I don't intend to clear that up just yet Prejudice has a funny way of concealing the real truth behind certain things an attribute that I find to be quite advantageous call yourself a fonan for example and people will assume all sorts of things when the real truth is that this is simply the land where I was raised huh you're not actually from Fane but then why did you try to help out with the prophecy and everything I was trying to protect the children born in Fontaine claiming that I myself was a fonan simply made it easier to operate people would hardly suspect a fellow fonan of having any ulterior motives who wouldn't want to save their Homeland after all the primordial sea wouldn't have any effect on me but it would have caused Great harm to the house of the Hearth well you wanted extra information didn't you there you go I hope that satisfied your curiosity so you stayed in Fontaine for the kids I guess I was wrong to believe you'd betray them apologies looks like I was holding on to some prejudices myself good like I said I like it when others have Miss conceptions of me actually while I was recuperating at the house of the Hearth there was something else that really caught my attention I heard that members always resolve disputes and arguments with a friendly Spar and the loser has to back down seems pretty cool if you ask me would also give them plenty of opportunities to hone their skills well that's only a recent development in the past such spars weren't nearly so friendly the losing party would lose everything including their life they were that high stakes at least that's not a thing anymore well the current atmosphere is not half bad I'm a bit jealous actually you've got so many family members around you and you even get to live with them having a lot of family around means dealing with a considerable amount of bickering and scheming once ton and tuser enter their rebellious phase I'm sure you'll understand just imagine tuser becomes obsessed with plucking out strands from the rooster's mustache oronia decides to dye her hair 42 different [Music] colors okay okay I get the [Music] picture well would you look at the time I should probably get going traveler Pimon I'm not sure where our paths will cross next but the next time we run into each other we should definitely try and find some time to spar um again maybe this is a conversation we can have when you look less like you're going to kill over all right all right well thanks for everything [Music] arino no thanks necessary you also played a part in obtaining the nosis I would say we can call ourselves even I like the sound of that well I'm off see you all some other [Music] time um we should probably get going to do you want to head back with [Music] us oh you want me to leave so soon oh I whatever you see um I'm rather enjoying the evening Breeze if you don't mind I think I'll stick around for a bit I have some things to think about apologies for not attending to you like a proper host please forgive this slight I do hope you'll have a pleasant [Music] stay we managed to keep her distracted until Nightfall good thing child was there to keep the conversation going you don't think she's expected anything do you I wonder if Lenny ran into any issues let's hurry back and see how everything went oh you decided to stay a little longer let's take in the ocean view together then [Music] [Music] Winnie how did everything go well long story short we ran into a small issue clairy can't go into the [Music] sunlight everything was fine At first she followed me up to the surface just like I told her but as I let her out of the shadows and into the sunlight she vanished I turned around and there she was standing at the edge of the Shadows silently watching me huh maybe she's afraid of some light or no it wouldn't be her wish if that were the case well we could always try pushing her into it oh true I've pretty much tried it all already nothing worked eventually the sun went down so all I could do was bring her back here how did it go with you Lynette good I've got the list it's right here really well what are we waiting for let's take a look oh that's a lot of pages oh it's going to take forever to get through it all we can each take a section here laad [Music] LEL or oh yikes that our rare guy has a huge scar on his face he's kind of giv p on the creeps ah I've met him before the scar is from an injury he received during a mission I still remember him joking with me about it he said any future lover would take one look at him and then lose all in interest did he say anything else well I asked if there was someone he was interested in he said no and that's where our conversation ended it was only later that I learned he really did have someone he liked he risked everything to escape so he could be with her but it didn't work one day father asked to see him and well I never saw him again after that wait so that means the Nave she it may seem cruel but it's just one of the rules of the house betrayal is not to be taken lightly we know too many secrets to come and go as we please so if you do try to leave you pay with your life her name's not here huh well that's not too surprising it doesn't seem like this list is complete it only contains records dating back around 5 years let's shift our attention then fremin were you able to find anything out frem sorry I was thinking about something something I managed to talk to quite a few people but I couldn't help but notice that the atmosphere in the house was a little strange strange yeah I mean I know there have been arguments in the past times when people haven't gotten along Cho and filiol are a good example of that oh those are two of the people that we met while delivering supplies P I can see how they might not get along they had very different Vibes and their um interest seemed to be pretty different as well that's to be expected actually father brought us all here shared her knowledge with us taught us how to fight that's one thing we all share but that's also where the similarities end not all of us feel the same desire to stay here as members of the House of the Hearth we're also considered part of the fouille and to a lot of people that's an identity they never asked for certain members get older and realize they want something else for themselves but considering the rules of the house most people would never say that out loud people people like shapo and folz are loyal to father and her vision they're proud to be part of the fouille filial and N toy on the other hand well they aren't quite as enthusiastic these kinds of conflicts have always been there it's not like father is in the dark about any of this well that's true but it just feels like things have gotten worse lately philal and the others it seemed like they were meeting in secret to talk about something I can't say for sure but I think they've met clairy you think she's been inciting them to act out no not exactly but I wouldn't be surprised if she said something to them about the darkness in the house and how deep deep it runs she's told me about it before experiments being run on children people being used as pawns on the battlefield without so much as the strength to survive and they just believed all that without any evidence Clair's words probably gave them the excuse they were looking for whether they actually believe them to be true is secondary this is all because of project sta isn't it whoa whoa whoa hold on a second what's this project stoua all about huh this is the second time it's come up now sorry but I'm not sure of the details either I only know what father has told us which is that it's something the rooster and Reger have been working on together apparently it has to do with the fatou Strategic plan for the future because the house of the Hearth was so successful in obtaining the nosis we now have the honor of playing a key role in Project stoua wait but isn't that a good thing key rooll is just another way of saying dangerous role to us the whole thing is an inconvenience father thinks so too but she's in no position to refuse their plan isn't exactly unreasonable and they've been funneling the house a lot of funding it's just that we'll lose a lot of members in the process participating in the plan it's an honor and name only what they're really trying to do is subdue us the existence of an intelligence organization outside their control makes them feel uneasy okay super complicated top secret fouille business aside what does all of this have to do with the conflicts you were talking about earlier P doesn't get the connection external pressure has a way of exacerbating internal strife you can't Overlook the power of fear either people are afraid of dying and that fear is often the impetus for a lot of stupid decisions I thought resolving the clairy situation would make everything go back to to normal but it looks like things are more complicated than I thought if we leave filiol and the others to their own devices sooner or later father will be forced to take action we can only focus on one situation at a time brother you're right even if we confront filel and the others it won't do any good it might even make matters worse we should focus on clairy for now well it's getting late we should head back and get some rest we'll try again first thing tomorrow lenette you stick with me this time fremin keep a close eye on filial and the others make sure they don't do anything they'll regret good work today everyone have a good night and I'll see you tomorrow [Music] my was looking forward to an early night but she can't sleep at all uh hey you don't think the Nave will be too angry with Lenny and everyone if she finds out about all this do you she's even scary when she smiles if she were to actually get angry you have to protect Pon if that happens okay Traveler [Music] oh well in that case we should just plan on running away we'll grab Linny and the others and we can make a break for it as fast as we [Music] can look look over there quick let's catch up with her before anyone sees over there oh where is she going someone sees her we toast take it easy one with nature oh look she stopped Cy [Music] I opened the window while no one was looking look how pretty the outside is if only I could have more than this you probably think I'm being silly huh all this hopeless resisting it's better to dream of what I could have than try to make it a reality right please help us get on the same page here Clary we need you to tell us what you know can you do that sure although after you hear all this I think you might regret that decision everyone in this family is nothing more than a tool something to be used and exploited we're all Expendable including me as long as you're useful you get to stick around lose your value you're handed over to the doctor experimented on and given a fate worse than death I've seen it happen again and again and I've had enough you're saying the Nave did all that it's just that doesn't seem like something she would do she's scary and all but it seems like even she has lines she wouldn't cross they knew you wouldn't believe me everyone thinks she's a good person they all think of her like a real mother mother but she doesn't deserve that title she's disgraced it and tarnished it and if I had things my way i' never see her again if only Perry were here she'd understand Harry there's that name again also P's getting a strange feeling it almost feels like she's not really here with us my can't tell if she's actually talking to us or if she's mistaken us for someone else well in any case it seems like she really needs someone to talk to we should keep her company for a little longer she looks so young but it seems like she's been through a lot it's getting windy I should close the window oh look at the Moon isn't it pretty hey want to hear a secret I heard that if you look up at the night sky in schn NAA you can see the aurora it's supposed to be super pretty even prettier than the moon tonight Perry and I promised each other that once we're older we're going to go see it together but I can't find her I'm worried she's all open no that wouldn't happen to her she's special Mother likes her a lot we should really go talk to mother but we just fought she doesn't want to see me and I'm too scared to face her what should I do [Music] I'm I really doesn't understand what's going on with her well let's head back we've got an early morning tomorrow all right looks like we're all here let's go ahead with the plan oh what is it what makes you ask that well we kind of ran into clairy last night and that's what she told us we met the doctor back in Samu he's super dangerous and he's done all sorts of bad things it's possible that father and the doctor have had certain dealings but I don't think father would work with him we're not really on the same side so there's not a lot of trust between them that doesn't exactly set the stage for a successful partnership I did hear though that when father first became a Harbinger the doctor offered to work with the house of the Hearth father rejected most of his proposals except for one it had to do with some sort of secret experiment secret experiment could could that be what clery was talking about I don't think so I don't know any details about the experiment itself but I do know it's an entirely independent operation the doctor only proposed a direction for the research that was the extent of his involvement I still don't think that counts as working together the details of the experiment are confidential but complete records are kept on all participants that doesn't seem to be the case with the situation Clair referred to I know you don't agree with some of the fatou's methods and I'm not asking you to but I am asking you to trust us on this The House of the Hearth has its own principles there are certain lines we're not willing to cross all right that's good to hear at least clarey seems to think the Nave and the doctor work together to do something horrible if that turned out to be true Pon doesn't know how he would even face you guys it's just that it doesn't seem like clarey is lying either the easiest thing to do would be just ask the na directly but hon doesn't think she'd tell us father didn't come back last night she's probably still near the shore we'll be counting on you to distract her Lynette you're with me fremin you know what to do be on your guard everyone all right let's get to it [Music] this [Music] take it [Music] easy win [Music] Str ah it's you two again I must say you look a bit pale did you have trouble sleeping last night uh a little perhaps if you had less on your mind you'd be able to absolve yourself of such troubles so what are you planning to do now catch up on some sleep or should I give you some time to Rack your brain for a topic to discuss before I ask any questions although I must profess to being curious without child here how do you plan on distracting ing me US distract you good one but no um we were just here for a chat H looks like you could have used some extra time to think no matter if you don't have any other plans why don't you accompany me somewhere don't worry I'll be sure to steer clear of any scheming children the ocean breeze is sure nice today children always think they can hide things from the grown-ups but nothing gets past me least of all a little scheming I think I'll let them have at it for a little longer I can be very patient well I'll leave you to think things over if you're so inclined meet me outside the P mormonia good things come to children who do as they're told so I do hope you decide to tag along if only for your friend sakes what should we do she clearly knows about everything we've been doing and Pimon doesn't think it'd be a stretch to say she was threatening us just now oh good idea hopefully he sees it in time well we should probably head to the p maronia i doesn't want to find out what happens if we don't show up based on what the Nave was saying just now it sure didn't seem like it'd be anything good okay then we probably shouldn't keep her waiting it seems like Linny and the others are on thin ice so let's do our best to not get them in any more trouble [Music] seeing as we still have some time before my meeting we might as well enjoy some pleasant conversation while we wait I'm glad to see you get along with my children being surrounded by good companions is necessary for a child's development you're not planning on doing anything to them are you I assume you're referring to Lenny Lynette and frem although there's that situation with filial and ntoyi as well it appears quite a few people have been acting out lately no matter I'm not one to discriminate all those who betray the house meet the same fate there are no exceptions does that mean you're going to kill them oh are you here to beg for their lives I'm sorry to disappoint but the rules of the house change for no one in my organization everyone is responsible for their own actions but don't you care about them at all they really respect you they even call you father you must feel something for them any organization in which feelings come before principles is one destined for ruin the house of the Hearth is hardly an exception you could say our principles are more stringent than most perhaps I can offer you this consolation at least as our guests you two will not be held accountable along with them I would imagine Linny Lynette and fremin will be able to keep their lives as for filel n toy and the others I'm afraid there's little I can do they can try to escape but once you know our secrets there's no getting out alive but but that's that's that's awful ah you seem concerned out of consideration for my guests I suppose I could turn a blind eye for a little longer if Linny and the others managed to dispose of Clare V in the meantime all evidence of their wrongdoing will be lost in that case I could hardly punish them for something I couldn't prove if their efforts are unsuccessful on the other hand all will be held accountable and the punishment will be [Music] severe of course oh and here I believe this belongs to you do try and keep better track of it next time it takes a considerable amount of time to train a bird like this it would be such a Pity if you were to lose it permanently wait where did you get that well I'm afraid that's all the time we have to chat now for the matter at hand I asked you to meet me here because I have business at the P mormonia it has nothing to do with you but I think it would be prudent for you to stick by my side for the time being there will always be time later to run off and tell Lenny what you've learned well time to go looks like we wrapped things up just in time [Music] k [Music] it's been a while mure nervet I must say I wasn't expecting my meeting request to be approved quite so quickly the palet mormonia operates with an efficiency worthy of admiration it is only right that an esteemed Diplomat such as yourself should be afforded the proper level of respect although if I may speak plainly I'm must confess that I did not anticipate we would have the occasion to meet again after presenting you with the nosis I see you brought the traveler in Pimon with you as well if I may inquire as to the purpose of your visit I'll be departing Fontaine shortly there is however an outstanding matter that I would like to see resolved before I go it requires a rather lengthy explanation I'm afraid so I took the liberty of explaining everything in this proposal please review it at your leisure m nette H I understand your request however at the risk of causing offense I must admit that I failed to see why you would wish for such a thing I heard you have a certain fondness for water tasting M nervet so allow me to use water as an analogy a family is like a large body of water with countless Rivers flowing in and out as someone who watches over this system I would hope that each river that flows from the source will eventually reach the ocean of course objectively speaking I know this is impossible most of the rivers will dry up along the way disappearing into the ground and leaving nothing but a Barren riverbed behind not all rivers are destined to reach the ocean but I would not see their existence rendered meaningless I believe the water that flows within them is simply meant for a different Destin ation like a field in need of irrigation or perhaps the glass of a certain water tasting Enthusiast um did you get any of that traveler your words paint an optimistic picture indeed allow me to remind you however few Among Us are willing to sip from a glass filled with tainted water it may have been tainted at one point in time but not to worry I'll make sure it's strained of all impurities and returned to its cleanest form H I seem to recall there being a transactional aspect to your proposal perhaps you could expound on that if you accept my proposal mure net I will gradually withdraw my forces from Fontaine and unless absolutely necessary I will no longer carry out any special missions within Fontaine I presume I can take your words to mean that in the future cases similar to the tart assassination will cease to cross my desk tar ah that Thief who embezzled funds from all those Charities you mean my deepest condolences to his family but without any evidence I cannot imagine how the house of the Hearth might have been involved in his passing of course if you accept my proposal M noet I'm sure certain measures could be taken to reduce the frequency of such troubles you choose your words carefully indeed in that case I'm inclined to accept your proposal my thanks for your generosity M nlet well with that settled we should be going now I took the liberty of bringing along two bottles of spring water from snia for you to enjoy I I do hope I get the chance to hear your impressions perhaps at our next meeting yes indeed I trust you would not overlook your commitment in the meantime all right traveler Pimon time to go [Music] [Music] so uh what exactly were you talking about back there Pon only heard you mentioned some Rivers a large body of water and then some kind of irrigation scheme you really want to know I would imagine there might be more pressing concerns at the moment Linny P really hopes everything's going okay oh P recognizes that look you've got your DIY cap on don't you Traveler [Music] [Music] [Music] oh shoot are you all right oh jeez I'm so sorry I was so focused on selling these papers I wasn't looking where I was going well let me make it up to you at least here take this paper on the house [Music] oh you don't have to give us anything please I want to it's not like I'm short on supply all the extras will be useless come tomorrow anyway it's my fault really I was just trying to bring home some extra MOA for the family but I bit off more than I can chew I haven't had many takers today so I'm still swimming in papers what's going on here uh nothing much uh I just ran into your friend here on accident I should probably get going actually so hold on um of course I'm happy to compensate you with Mora it's just I don't have any on me at the moment I'll take three papers here your payment oh thank you for your patronage May the archons bless you with Good Fortune if only I had the chance to run into such generous C customers every day I should probably just take on a smaller inventory though right I'm getting married soon so sometimes it's hard to not get ahead of myself anyway I should head out goodbye well now that my Affairs are settled we should take the boat back to Pon we've even acquired some light reading to enjoy along the [Music] way actually why don't we stick around for a little longer Pon just realized how hungry she is she can't head back to p on an empty [Music] stomach it appears you two are under the impression that delaying our return will somehow alter the situation in your favor I'm sorry to ruin your fantasy but your efforts are meaningless that being said I could be persuaded to give Lenny some extra time I just have one condition if you agree to my request I'll even answer some of your questions you're quite curious about Clare V are you not and my relationship to her wait why are you being so generous all of a sudden you're not going to ask us to do something bad are you you overestimate yourself you don't have the talent for bad things then what can you possibly the most important consideration in a negotiation is that both sides receive something they want demands and threats only get you so far wonderful here it is when the time comes make the choice that you deem most appropriate in the situation and lend your help to the house of the Hearth okay sounds normal enough but what do you mean when the time comes when is that supposed to be that is for you to decide then we have a deal follow me [Music] [Music] what is this place somewhere long forgotten by everyone it used to be a grand building now it's nothing more than a pile of rubble no one comes here anymore nor does anyone care about what once happened here although this place does have something to do with the story I'm about to tell you it was before I became a Harbinger and before Lenny and the others joined the house of the Hearth due to certain events I first killed clairy and then her mother and this is where it all happened you were the one that killed clairy patience now allow me to explain clairy side of the story first I'll start from the beginning clairy was 6 years old when she was brought by her mother crusina to live in the house of the Hearth from the outside it seemed like a fairy tale a thriving family made up of kind adults and friendly children crusina was the Nave at that time and the house of the Hearth was under her control she was Clair's Mother by Blood but she was also the mother to all the children in the house Clair ve was happy here for a time but she quickly realized that being part of this family wasn't a fairy tale at all it was a kind of purgatory Purgatory exactly the house of the Hearth takes in war orphans from all over toat but as for how to raise them that depends entirely on the person in charge crusina came up with a novel idea she would teach the children to fight force them to duel each other and then Crown as the king of the house the child who proved themselves most worthy of inheriting her title it's difficult to estimate the number of children who died or were maimed in the process there's little I can say about the ones who died the ones that emerged with permanent injuries on the other hand and well they still served a purpose they would be handed over to the doctor to be experimented on or sent away on dangerous missions nothing more than tools to be used and then discarded so those were the experiments clairy was talking about but what actually happened to her you said that clairy was crusen's daughter so if clairy tried to convince her to stop what she was doing crusina probably would have listened right despite being clarey's mother crusina cared little for her daughter she forced clarey to join the house of the Hearth only as a means to demonstrate her own impartiality as a mother to prove that she treated all her children equally clairy did try to convince her mother to change her ways but it was to no avail after her efforts failed the only other option was to rise up and try to fight back unfortunately the other children had already been thoroughly indoctrinated into the illusion of Happiness crusina had created of course there was one exception someone Clare's age who knew the truth about the house of the Hearth her name was Peru wait the friend that clairy mentioned friend huh I suppose we can call her that for now clairy was a cheerful and passionate person with a tenacious Spirit Peru on the other hand was rather cold blooded her coldblooded nature allowed her to see through crus saina's facade yet it was also this cold-bloodedness that prevented her from acting against it at least at first while clairy longed for Freedom Peru was convinced that amid all the fighting and violence she would make it until the end despite their differences the two became Fast Friends United by their knowledge of the truth clairy told perere that she hoped to create a real family where no one would be killed or sacrificed there may have been a certain naive to her ideas but Clair proved her determination many times over she tried countless times to run away ask for help or expose the truth but her efforts only earned her beating after beating the only thing that kept her going was her strength of will even with her body racked with pain she would still stand on her tiptoes and open the window at night she and parare would look out at the Moon together a fierce Longing For Freedom shining in her eyes but one day that light simply vanished oh no what happened her hopelessness resulted from a culmination of things 10 years had passed 10 years worth of failure after failure she and Peru weren't children anymore but finding any chance to Escape still seemed as hopeless as ever it was during this time that piare suggested a new plan if escaping was out of the question why not take down the very person sitting on top of this Throne of Lies mother herself clairy rejected that proposal she claimed that as a famous Harbinger crus Saina possessed an un imaginable amount of power trying to kill her would have an incredibly low chance of success Clair never gave another reason but Peru could see it written all over her face clarey still thought of crusina as her mother killing her own flesh and blood was a line she couldn't bring herself to cross if she couldn't escape and fight back then only one option remained precise L Death was the only way that she felt she could be free it happened during a duel when she arrived at the dueling ring that day her partner turned out to be none other than Peru the very person that had stood by her side all those years it was a fierce battle but ultimately Clare decided to let Peru end her life from that moment on perow Ware's Journey was one Written In Flames when the rain finally came and washed it all way there she stood the sole Victor in mother's endless game of Slaughter a trail of corpses drwn across her path to success it was the very result she had predicted 10 years prior even then she believed she would make it until the end she wasn't surprised by the fact that she emerged as mother's Undisputed Heir rather her success left her with an inexplicable sense of restlessness she was unsettled and there was only one thing that could quell that sensation perhaps you too would like to take a guess as to what it was who Sabina you mean but but correct this is the place where Peru killed her best friend a mere year later this is also the place where she fought tooth and nail to kill the mother they shared the moment she acted any conception of what was right or wrong ceased to matter it's one of the principles of the house only those who survive get to write the rules Peru won the battle and became a Harbinger herself after which Her Majesty the Serita bestowed upon her a new name arlino so the Perry clery was talking about it was you all along your parare arino is just a name you got later I left that name behind long ago I must say hearing it no does bring back memories after I defeated crusina the moniker of mother died with her I chose to forgo the title she called herself and even chose to give up my own name I rebuilt The House of the Hearth under a new identity not only as arlino but as father and that is where the story ends any more questions yeah based on what you just told us clairy wasn't a little kid when she was killed so the clairy ween was she really a spirit at all I suppose you could call her an illusion born of flame her existence is like Ashes to a fire something left over in the wake of Blaze and ruin you see a certain power runs through my veins it's not unlike a curse my Flames leave behind Shadows of anything they consume of course the chances of those Shadows morphing into a sentient entity are exceedingly slim clairy is a very special case clairy died when she was 16 years old but what emerged from the Flames was her six-year-old self her appearance wasn't the only thing affected most of her memories were lost to the blaze as well memory is a mysterious thing indeed losing a portion of your memories will alter your sense of self lose 10 years worth however and it would be like living in the past like returning to a version of yourself that never grew up no wonder Pon got such a weird feeling when we were talking to her perhaps I should put it this way Clare ve is someone trapped in time it may seem like she exists with us in the present but she truly lives in the confines of her own past so if all of that is true then you must have known about clairy for a long time indeed she's a rather volatile and unstable entity sometimes she would look after the children she's even saved some of their lives but other times she would hide from me and become obsessed with revealing the truth about the house to anyone who will listen Shadows don't have the capacity to learn or grow any new information they encounter is quickly forgotten over time your attempts to expose clairy to sunlight they failed yes the reason is actually quite simple in Clair's mind the house is impossible to escape and it is this very perception that traps her there but no matter all I have to do is kill her again and all will be resolved I don't anticipate so much as a single Speck of Ash will be left behind this time wait H can understand what you might want her gun but isn't there another way so what if she's trapped in her six-year-old s she's still your friend at least talk to her first it's too late for that she broke the rules and now she must be punished that goes for filel and menoy as well she's had quite the effect on them I hope you understand the difference between crusina and myself lies in our formulation of the rules not our policy for enforcing them upholding the rules without question is a trait we both share because that is how a household should should be run is this really what you want to do whatever could you mean don't you want to say a proper goodbye at least whether as a killer or as a father there are two things that must be avoided at all costs anger and sorrow anger makes you impulsive sorrow causes you to waver well it appears it's about time to proceed before we arrived I told some of my well-behaved children to bring our troublemakers here by Nightfall I do believe I've kept my end of the deal I give your friends quite a bit more time as for what happens now we'll just have to wait and [Music] see here they are father you going to execute him seeing something like that would actually be a first for me Lenny I'm sorry I heard about how you helped by us more time but I still failed I couldn't find a way to fulfill her wish huh are you Perry indeed it's been a while clarey Harry sh stay right there I'm sorry to postpone our reunion but first I believe certain scores need settling [Music] father let me explain out of my way father you chose to conceal a threat to the house and for that you must be punished overall however I suppose your wrongdoing is hardly the most egregious of the bunch so I'll deal with your punishments later as for right now the more pressing concerns are the traitor Among Us by traitors do you mean us father let me explain we didn't mean to fults why don't you share what you heard yes Father secret midnight meeting number three participants filial nanto Sato TDY nanto clearly said if only father wasn't the one who took us in Sato added I'm sick of this life I just want to live as a normal person filio was the worst of them all she called us crazies and said a bunch of mean things about father I did not you're you're you're lying fultz is trying to frame us it's not like I'm the only one who heard those things after that you and Toddy and a bunch of other people started talking about clairy you were using all those things clairy brought up as an excuse to question father we're Birds locked in a cage the only way out is to destroy it that's what you said wasn't it you little you just want me gone don't you what did I ever do to you huh and you shapo have you forgotten who stood by your sick bed watched over you and changed your dressings come on let's hear it then what's your reason for all this you're wrong filiol we don't want you to die you're our family liar you wouldn't be doing this if that were the case so why why have you backed us into a corner we all live in the house of the Hearth you know the type of work we do filiol a single betrayal can cost dozens of us our lives it's not like it's never happened before that kind of thing is hard to forget that's why the house of the Hearth cannot tolerate any form of betrayal ever since we came to Wason you've had seven secret meetings oh a lot of the things you talked about really crossed the line you've been spying on us for half a month wait a second now that I think about it the move to Pon was just a way to make it easier to spy on us wasn't it cuz we were all in one place you've had this planned all along filel nanto I'm sorry I owe you both my life I owe clairy too if it weren't for all your help after I got poisoned I wouldn't be standing here today if this were any other situation I would do anything to repay that kindness even if it cost me my life but rules are rules I'm sorry my hands are tied why why that's enough filio we made a mistake and we should own up to it we broke the rules plain and simple and now we have to face the consequences I'm sorry shapo fults I'm sorry Father we accept our punishment shapo according to the rules of the House of the Hearth how should these traitors be punished all those who betray the house pay with their lives and so it shall [Laughter] be father please wait something you want to say Lenny please reconsider father what filio and the others did does it really count as betrayal we all come from broken families from the very first day we joined the house of the Hearth we wanted nothing more than to make it a real home but the truth is none of us know what a real home should look like I'm not saying I have all the answers all I know is this killing filial and The Others May uphold the rules but doing so will only bring us further away from being a real family than we've ever been so please father please reconsider I agree with Lenny father please Lenny you I also agree with Lenny an order once given cannot be rescinded however given the extent of your determination I suppose we shall have to go about this a different way draw your weapons and face me our weapons father are you referring to a duel precisely the rules of the house will not be altered traitors must be punished however resolving disputes with a duel is also one of our rules one that also applies to me demonstrate a sufficient showing of strength and I shall offer a concession wait Beat father a duel impossible father is way too strong even for Lenny did you hear that traveler letting the others have to duel the Nave what should we do can they really win something like that if they lose those people from the house are really going to be executed hey are you listening don't you want to say a proper goodbye at least anger makes you impulsive sorrow causes you to waver oh looking at that expression on her face she seems really serious about this guess that means there's no chance she's throwing the duel on purpose huh when guests are around families are often on their best behavior and any disputes are less likely to escalate when the time comes make the choice that you deem most appropriate in the situation and lend your help to the house of the hearth what's wrong traveler hey where are you going traveler you're asking to join the duel against the Nave I'll allow it we do have a readymade dueling ring at our disposal after all all I would advise is this this keep a firm grasp on your weapon and give it your all any less and you may just lose your [Music] life is it my turn now with these Rising flames let's Light It Up watch out for Father's movements is it my turn [Music] now father is even stronger than I expected now that's more Rel Shine Down is it my turn now I'm going iners are about to get S falling leads I'm getting you with the fall of Darkness destruction shall rise have a taste of purgatory watch out for Father's movements spare your energy running is of little use take it easy hang in there let's light it up the countdown has begun teamwork is fly Tangled in a web now You Shall Perish with Rising Flames G com over quietly now [Music] look kindness has been seared away my blade is All That Remains gotcha now's our chance over here We stri There Is No Escape you're stand made man clouds high the birds C time to aivan watch out for Father's movement look out is only the beginning [Music] [Music] [Music] you should know better than to crowd in one [Music] place oh I know [Music] now I'm sorry Father [Music] sorry for what this pitiful excuse for an attack [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] father [Music] no made it out did you you're stronger than I expected [Music] de a crimson [Music] Moone I can't move [Music] still not strong enough to beat me [Music] [Music] I believe we can end things here it's not often that we get to enjoy the company of guests after all we wouldn't want things to get too out of hand brother are you all right Lenny given that I am the victor of this duel as a g the punishment stands no I never thought things would end like this however everyone involved in the duel demonstrated a remarkable level of strength and determination in light of this I'm prepared to change the method of execution eloir the bottled Flames I gave you for safekeeping do you still have them yes I wasn't sure what they were for but I kept them super safe I didn't lose a single one wonderful then in just a moment I'll have you administer them bottled Flames indeed they're the product of a secret experiment under certain special circumstances Flames can be extracted from my person and preserved once ingested searing pain will spread across every inch of your body no harm will come to you physically but your memories will be burned away if you can withstand the pain when you awake you'll have forgotten everything you know about the house of the Hearth and will be expelled from the organization in other words administering this concoction will kill the version of you that grew up in the house and give you a new identity memory is a mysterious thing indeed losing a portion of your memories will alter your sense of self so you're just letting us go father you misunderstand memories are extremely important once consumed by Flame the version of you standing before me will die and our secrets will die with you so no I don't intend to just let you go because the person who survives will be nothing but a stranger even so even so I won't have to live in fear anymore I'm sorry Father I'm sorry I let you down but I I really don't cry filiol you haven't left the house yet so there are still rules to be followed yes remember what I taught you anger Mak you impulsive sorrow causes you to waver don't let yourself be controlled by your emotions of course I'll remember dry your tears and go pursue the life you really want yes Father shapo folz eloir take them back to Pon and bring Lenny and the others as well I prepared three extra vials of bottled Flames as for whether to take them the choice is yours goodbye children the next time we meet I will no longer be your father thank you for all you've done for the house I hope you have Bright Futures ahead of [Music] you father let's go [Music] here grab my arm Lenny I'll help you walk back thank you Clare V can we talk now I've been waiting for a super long [Music] time you really are Perry aren't you I haven't seen you in so long how come you're all Grown Up Wait did I somehow travel to the Future on accident or am I dreaming what a long dream neither you died clairy that's what [Music] happened you could have at least sugarcoated it a little look she's s [Music] speechless oh okay then huh that's it you accepted it just like that yep if that's what Perry says happened then I believe her Perry wouldn't lie to me plus I don't really need to know why I'm like this I'm more curious about what happens in the future if you're a Harbinger now Perry that means mother is gone is isn't she can you tell me about it I want to know what happened to her and to me you never stopped trying to defy fate at first no one believed you you could only vent your frustrations to the Moon in fact you often sought comfort in the night sky you wanted to see the aurora so one night we promised each other we would go to snah to see it together later on you tried to run away but you were brought back each time mother spared your life but it wasn't out of kindness instead she decided to make an example of You by slowly torturing you over time that way the other children would know what happens to traitors still you never gave up mother hoped that through ruthless duel after ruthless stel she would be able to Crown an ultimate Victor among the children she raised but you called on everyone to unite to fight to a draw in order to reduce casualties your efforts may have only delayed the inevitable but still you gave them hope you tried everything you could think of but every attempt ended in Failure still you never turned your sword on crusina and you never turned it on me on that gloomy day you told me for the last 16 years of my life I've done everything I can to fight for freedom but now I realize that the only freedom I truly possess is the freedom to choose to die I never imagined I would see something like that I must have been feeling really worn down but somehow I still think I understand according to Mother's plan only one of us was going to make it until the end and I always hoped that person would be you if I could do it all over again I still don't think I would make a different Choice even when I first met you I knew you'd be able to do what I couldn't is that so even now I'm not sure I truly understand what kind of Freedom you were trying to pursue but as the head of the House of the Hearth and as the children's father I've tried to give them the most basic of freedoms the freedom to choose their own fate it's something I discussed with the udex of Fontaine the children who want to leave the house will have their memories wiped clean of all secrets pertaining to the organization in return they will be allowed to live a normal life in Fontaine without being prosecuted for their past of course I won't simply hand freedom to them on a silver platter they have to fight for it and prove themselves worthy of it only Freedom that is earned has True Value that's more than enough that's exactly the kind of life I was fighting for you know Perry I think you're a pretty amazing king and a really great father too I'm really happy that you're the one who took over the house I guess yes I do have one regret though I still haven't seen the outside world well it just so happens that our dear guests over here have been to many nations and traveled to countless places perhaps they would be willing to tell you what the outside world is like really of course we've traveled all over the place we' got so many stories we could probably talk your ears off for 3 days straight you know I used to dream of being a Bard playing the loot while singing into the Winds of Freedom even if there was no one there to listen I would have continued to sing no matter what Ah that's where Mora comes from I never knew that before if I had Samora I would buy three new dresses one for me one for Perry and one for mother it's just too bad Perry doesn't like wearing dresses and mother well she probably wouldn't accept something like that either I guess I'd just have to keep them all for me then I could wear different one every day those Yokai you mentioned what do they look like I once saw a drawing of this one guy with horns on his head and a super scary face are there any yo-kai like that oh sounds like you're talking about an Oni yep we've met one and let Pon tell you they're not nearly as scary as they look I was always too afraid to skip mother's fighting lessons but at the Academia I bet you could do all sorts of secret things in class things that have nothing to do with studying I'm just kidding being able to study whatever you want without having to fear for your life actually sounds pretty gray the situation was super dangerous Lenny and Lynette were accused of committing a crime and they were going to have to stand trial at the Opera epicel oh no that must have been hard for all of you what happened next don't worry we were able to turn the situation around super quickly all thanks to detective Pon of course how'd you do that come on tell me okay so it was like this after the failed magic show we rushed to the scene and shadows don't have the capacity to learn or grow any new information they encounter is quickly forgotten over time [Music] clairy you've worked tirelessly from the Shadows to overthrow The House of the Hearth Now by my authority as the Nave I shall announce how this matter ends you are hereby expelled from the house of the Hearth you are no longer tied to this place nor are you Bound by its rules you're saying that I can finally [Music] leave can you experience the outside world as well oh I almost forgot there's no getting mder for me still seeing who you grew up to be makes me really happy parir take care of yourself goodbye may we meet again [Music] someday clairy she left so soon Pon didn't even get to finish her story I also have certain sentiments left on said I wanted to tell her that the Aurora is saw snea was just as beautiful as the ones in the pictures but a Shadow's memories reset at dawn had we delayed any longer we wouldn't have had the time to say goodbye what whatever regrets May linger let them be lost to the coming of a new [Music] day father it's Linny hey [Music] lny what is he doing back here let's go check it out [Music] [Music] father the bottled Flames have been administered filio and the others have left the house and you what have you decided thank you for giving us that choice father but we never wanted to leave the house it's the only home we've ever known Lynette and fremin feel the same way they're recuperating back at the hotel B but I decided to come back and tell you where we stood I'm sure you're well aware of the expectations I have for you I want you to follow in my footsteps and become the next king of the house yet you seem to have different ideas I must I'm rather surprised by your decision to stay there's nothing wrong with choosing to live a quiet life leading this organization is a heavy responsibility one not so easily carried by someone forced onto the throne I just never understood what you saw in me what made you believe I was deserving of that Throne you're brave tell talented and most importantly you cherish your family you would do anything to protect them even if it costs you your life speaking up back there was so brave of you Linny it's all thanks to you that we were able B to convince father to back down you're a hero Lenny hero father is the real hero had father gone all out during the duel there's no way I would have walked away with my life she must have had it all planned from the beginning from the very moment she suggested a du I'm not deserving of that title I'm not strong enough or smart enough you're wrong in my opinion all you need to be deserving of the throne is conviction and the necessary strength to act on it we may have different ideas of what it means to be a family but you can hardly be said to lack conviction what you truly lack is strength for someone of your talent though that's something that will come with time even without that strength you still chose to face me me in a duel even though the odds were stacked against you that capacity to honor your convictions is what I truly see in you father no one knows what the future holds what tragedy or Triumph may be in store being at the head of this organization requires the strength of will to face whatever comes caution will only hold you back if reaching a certain standard were required to go after what you want I would never have succeeded in killing my predecessor back then there was still a considerable gap between our abilities strength may decide the ultimate Victor but those who let a lack of strength dictate their decisions or undermine their convictions will never be worthy of the throne I understand father thank you children must grow up to surpass their parents only then can family continue to flourish the road ahead is not an easy one so I'll ask you one last time are you certain you want to stay you've done so much for me father and that kindness must be repaid plus with project stoua at hand there are many dangers ahead and I for one don't intend to back down protecting my family at all costs that's my conviction then you're welcome to stay as for project stoua you need not be too concerned if those cowardly businessmen and heartless dignitaries try to take us down I'm prepared to teach them a lesson having members who longed for the light was our organization's last weakness with those members no longer among our ranks The House of the Hearth is like a spider hiding in the shadows we need only wait for our prey to come to us at present our imperative is to use their plan to our advantage in doing so a crimson moon shall rise amid the frigid blizzards of winter no demonstration of loyalty shall go unrewarded and no sacrifice shall be in [Music] vain as for the two of you whether we meet again as Friend or Foe I'll remember the camaraderie we shared In This Moment no matter how arduous the journey ahead I hope we both reach our desired [Music] [Music] destination lyette F how are you feeling much better [Music] what a relief what about you are you feeling all right I knew you'd come out on scath us on the other hand well we've been bedridden for 2 days I couldn't even turn over oh and I wanted to ask is Clare V gone Linny and the other members have left pan and returned to the house of The Hearth according to him there haven't been any more sightings of a spirit roaming the [Music] house I see I'm glad father came to check up on us 2 days ago and told us about what happened with crusina and clarey actually I I've met crusina before wait what you've met the former Nave crus Saina died a year after after Clare V it was during the year between their deaths that I joined the house of the Hearth crusina had an extremely cruel and radical way of doing things while she was alive the atmosphere in the house was suffocating when I joined though the experiment she valued so much had already come to an end and all the people involved dead and injured alike were gone crus Saina never talked about the past with us newcomers a couple of months after I joined father killed crusina and burned all her files with that the names of all the people subjected to her experiments Clair V included were lost to the Flames along with the painful memories they represented father took in Lenny and me a couple months after that but she never mentioned anything about crusina or clery it really seems like something she was planning to keep to herself the last time you talked to her did she mention why she kept it a secret for so long she said she didn't want us to be affected by the darkness of the past she was worried we'd develop a false sense of gratitude towards her if we knew about it the foundation of a family should be free of any corrupting influence whatever happened in the past it has no nothing to do with who we are now that's what father told us in the end but I still thanked her for everything it was only after hearing about what crusina did that I finally realized how insignificant Our Lives could have been the members of the House meant nothing to her to say that she valued them in any way even just as a tool would probably be giving her too much credit if father hadn't taken over the house of the The Hearth I probably would have already father rarely brings up the fact that she saved us she doesn't believe that being indebted to her should be what ties us together but even if we didn't owe her anything we would still choose to stay because this is our home we may have arguments or times when we feel wronged some people may even choose to leave but as long as father is here we will always have a home whether the path before us is bathed in sunlight or shrouded in Shadow we'll follow father wherever she chooses to [Music] go so I wanted to say thank you for helping us make it through this crisis without your help we could have lost a lot more along the way oh we didn't do anything really of course you're welcome anytime are filo and N toy okay I actually saw them at a cafe this morning they didn't recognize me from what I could tell they were drinking coffee and talking about one of the operas that started running recently they seemed happy if I had to take a guess I would say they finally found the kind of Life they always wished for for [Music]
