Script
Mien Central Business District
While browsing Mien CBD, you see a familiar silhouette again! Scarlett Arkwright is by the side of the street, looking very down. Go and ask her what's wrong.
Walking down the street of Mien CBD, you spot that familiar figure again.
You: (Isn't that... Ms. Scarlett Arkwright?)
But this time, Scarlett Arkwright looks very weary with a preoccupied look on her face.
You: Ms. Arkwright, are you all right?
Scarlett Arkwright: Miss [Player]? It's you...
When Scarlett spots you, she nods a greeting and then bows her head again. It is a far cry from her usual chatty appearance.
You: Ms. Arkwright, is something bothering you?
Scarlett Arkwright: I'm planning to leave Khaimit and go back to Stellis city.
You: Huh!? Why are you suddenly...
Although it's a good thing that she is willing to return to Stellis city, you can't help but worry about her mental state.
Scarlett Arkwright: I'm really sad... everything that happened in the Hessu Ruins is actually fabricated...
You: You know everything?
Scarlett Arkwright: When Dr. Richter came to return the Seth's Bone, he told me about the results of your investigation in detail.
Scarlett Arkwright: He also told me to pay attention to the results of the police investigation, saying that I will know the truth soon. I did not expect... such a cruel truth...
Scarlett Arkwright: I can't believe someone would actually use Hepharet to deceive people about their feelings.
Scarlett Arkwright: Hepharet! My god! The one whom my heart adores,got defiled!
Scarlett Arkwright: That guy called Ralph should be punished the hardest!
You: The police have been investigating... I believe this matter will soon come to fruition.
Scarlett Arkwright: Eh, I've been crying for three whole days. Once I think about it, I'm just... unbearably sad.
Right as Scarlett Arkwright speaks, she covers her face with her hands, uttering a whimpering sound.
You don't know how to comfort her, but you resign to gently patting her back with your hand.
After a long time, she wipes the tears away and slowly calms down.
Scarlett Arkwright: I think what Dr. Richter said before is correct, I'm just too gullible...
Scarlett Arkwright: Before, I thought I could find the ideal and freedom I was seeking here, but they are still very far away from me.
Scarlett Arkwright: I decided to listen to Dr. Richter and go back to Stellis city to take some time off.
Scarlett Arkwright: Then, once I'm ready, I'll depart again to find the freedom I desire! To meet the people who really worship Hepharet as much as I do!
You: Do you still want... to find it?
Scarlett Arkwright: Certainly! This is something I will not budge from! No one can make me stop my quest for freedom!
Scarlett Arkwright: *sigh*... This is frustrating. I guess... this is one of the things where I require feedback from as many people as possible...
Scarlett Arkwright: Thanks, Miss [Player]. I feel much better now.
You: (This tone! She's suddenly back to her original state!)
You: You're welcome, Ms. Arkwright
Scarlett Arkwright: Do not worry. Next time, I will make a good choice and won't be as easily fooled again.
Scarlett Arkwright: That's it then. I'll be heading back now!
After waving her goodbye, Scarlett Arkwright leaves in stride.
Watching her leave, you feel slightly relieved.
You: (In any case, as long as Scarlett Arkwright is willing to return to Stellis city, it can still be considered as hitting a fraction of the target, right?)
You: (But what exactly is Ms. Arkwright's freedom in her mind...? And how is she going to resolve the conflict with her family?)
You: (Looks like it won't be easy to open Ms. Arkwright's heart...)
You: (I can only leave this issue for Dr. Richter to persuade her out of it once we get back.)
