All of the names in this memory are currently blocked out.
NOTE: This video is cut-scenes only, with the barest amount of in-game footage. It cuts out the travel time to the Quoi Woods from Halure, which is just — travel, at night, with only Dog for company, across a plain. There were also some random encounters with monsters on the way.
Summary—
You walk into a dim room, an inn somewhere, and hey! It's Sketchy Guy again, though you seem to have been expecting him this time, and Boy is passed out on one of the beds. (You left them alone together? Huh.)
You all have a brief conversation about Girl in White's power, and there's an undercurrent of fear: of can we still save her. You comment that ▓▓▓▓▓'s doing all he can, but without Dein Nomos or something like it, the Knights won't be able to get into the city. Sketchy Guy seems especially withdrawn, but he's trying to be productive, and you appreciate that in a slightly strangled sort of way.
Krityan Woman suggests contacting someone named Phaeroh to see how much time you have left.
Boy wakes up. You ask if he's feeling okay and tell him not to worry about Girl in White. He tells you that your whole guild is going to rescue her, and you agree with only the tiniest of hitches, telling him to get some more sleep.
Krityan Woman can't get through to Phaeroh, and you tell her that's fine. The only thing that matters is making Bastard sorry he ever started this. She gives you a long look, asking if that's all, and you tell her you're gonna go get some air. When Pirate Blonde grabs your arm, you try to laugh it off, telling her she doesn't need to worry about you. But you feel everyone's eyes on your back as you leave.
And then, alone outside, you pause. You utter, "A job nobody wants to do..."
Little Prince catches you as you're about to leave the city to ask if you're going out alone. Archly, you tell him you don't think that's any of his concern, and that you're going to go check on the Lower Quarter. He tells you that formal charges are going to be brought against Bastard, and that the Knights are currently looking to reenter the capital from Deidon Hold. You express skepticism that they're going to get very far with the aer as dense as it sounds like it is.
Little Prince asserts that Girl in White is with Bastard, which catches you briefly off-guard, but then immediately makes sense: no wonder he didn't ask after her earlier. Then he asks you what you're planning to do, and you ask him what he means. He tells you that her power is in the royal bloodline, but that for most of them it's too faint to be of much use. He's heard her power is extraordinary. Increasingly tense, you ask him why he's bringing this up, and he says, "The Knights may have to... you're aware that defeating [Bastard] may not be enough."
You offer a smile and tell him it won't come to that. He sees through it, and comments that ▓▓▓▓▓'s told him about you — that you take far too much on yourself. Then he says maybe you're just the person Dein Nomos was waiting for. Infuriated by second-hand concern, you very calmly threaten to use it on him if he keeps talking, and leave the city.
Across a plain and into the woods. Retracing steps you originally took on this journey with her. When you reach a ruined pillar in a clearing, you slow down: reminisce about your first trip through here. You take a seat on the grass and talk to Dog for a little bit about how long it's been since the two of you have been on your own, then muse that you haven't been feeling like yourself, even when you're fighting. It's like you're... tired, all of a sudden.
You ask Dog to keep an eye out, then lie down to get some sleep. The memory ends.
Notables—
Hey, it's Sketchy Guy again! He might have joined the party? You've also got two new friends, a blond girl who dresses like a pirate and looks ten or eleven and a very attractive Krityan woman about your age who doesn't wear a lot, but you don't really notice that during the memory; you must be used to it. (Krityan = she has elf ears and long stalks coming out of her head.)
Krityan Woman can... talk to people over long distances? Which doesn't seem to surprise you, so you must have known about it.
Viewers who have seen Memory #8 might conclude this is the same prince you rescued.
Uhhh, you've somehow acquired a famous magic sword? And it lets you cut through dense aer. Good to know.
Internally—
Everyone was really, really worried about you going out on your own. It's kind of surprising you were able to give them the slip anyway.
Little Prince looks a bit like your best friend, especially the way he looked when you were both fifteen, only with hair a little more golden and less spiky, and eyes a little greener. He doesn't otherwise remind you of your friend at all, but it's possible the resemblance didn't help your mood.
That sure was a Depression Nap you just took in the middle of a forest at the end there. Good, great, this is fine.
