A Tale of Skyborn Bonds - A Song of Celadon Skies - Episode 2
After hearing rumors of the Dark Scar from Sierokarte, Tear theorizes that she must have crossed through it from another world. As there's nothing to be done about it at the moment, (Captain)'s party sets out to exterminate monsters that also seem to have come through the rift. Tear offers her assistance in exchange for passage on their airship.
Sierokarte: Welcome!
Lyria: Hello, Siero!
(Captain)'s crew brings Tear to the Knickknack Shack.
Sierokarte: Mmm? What's this? I believe I see an unfamiliar face mixed in with you.
Lyria: This is Tear Grants.
Tear: Is that a child?
Vyrn: I take it you've never seen a Harvin before?
Io: Harvins are all about that size. In truth, Siero is fully grown.
Tear: Is that so?
Tear: ...
Lyria: Tear? Something wrong?
Tear: Oh, sorry. It's nothing.
Vyrn: Tear's the reason we came here today.
The party relays Tear's story to Sierokarte.
Sierokarte: A black fissure, you say? Well well...
Sierokarte: Have you heard of something called the Dark Scar?
Io: I can't say that we have.
Sierokarte: It's a bit of a shifty story. Not terribly credible. More of a rumor, really...
According to rumors heard by Sierokarte, people had reported seeing a black fissure that materialized out of thin air.
Sierokarte: They call this fissure the Dark Scar.
Io: Sounds similar to the story Tear told us.
Sierokarte: What's more, people say that the Dark Scar is a link to another world.
Vyrn: Another world?
Tear: Does this Dark Scar resemble a gash that seems to have been torn in mid-air?
Sierokarte: I've never seen it myself, so I can't say. But I think you're on the right track.
Tear: So this really is another world...
Vyrn: Something wrong?
Tear: It seems as though I must have come to this world through the Dark Scar.
Io: W-wait, are you serious? Isn't it just a rumor?
Tear: I find it hard to believe myself, but that explanation makes the most sense, given the situation.
Sierokarte: Ah, so you're... Interesting. I thought it just a rumor as well, but I see now there may be more to it.
Tear: Siero, can you tell me anything else about the Dark Scar? Places where it materializes, for example?
Sierokarte: I wish I could help, but the stories are unreliable. Most people claim the Dark Scar vanishes soon after it appears.
Tear: I see... So I'm back at square one.
Sierokarte: Well now, I can't be sure this is related, but we've also had reports of unusual monsters appearing in various locations.
Lyria: Unusual monsters?
Sierokarte: That's right. And what's more, folks are at a loss for how to get rid of them.
Sierokarte: If the Dark Scar truly exists, these monsters may have also come from another world.
Vyrn: That makes sense.
Tear: Which would mean that wherever these monsters appear, there's likely a Dark Scar nearby.
Sierokarte: I suppose it would.
Sierokarte: Say, since you're here, do you think I could get you to take out some of those monsters for me?
Sierokarte: Well, I was planning on asking when you first showed up.
Sierokarte: All this Dark Scar talk just made for a good opportunity.
Sierokarte: If you have more pressing matters to attend to, I won't force you.
Vyrn: Nah, we've got nothing going on. Right, (Captain)?
Vyrn: Haha! Let's clean 'em out!

Lyria: If someone out there needs us, we can't just leave them high and dry.
Sierokarte: Then I leave it in your capable hands.
Tear: Could I have a moment?
Upon leaving the Knickknack Shack, Tear calls out to the party, a solemn expression on her face.
Vyrn: What's up?
Tear: You plan to board your airship and exterminate those monsters, yes?
Vyrn: That's the idea.
Tear: Would you allow me to join you?
Lyria: Uh, Tear?
Tear: If what we just heard is true, there's a very strong possibility that those monsters came from the same world that I did.
Tear: If that's the case, I think I could be of some help. I'm quite used to fighting them, after all.
Io: ...
Tear: In exchange, all I ask is for passage on your airship.
Lyria: Sounds like a deal to me. Right, (Captain)?
Vyrn: We were planning to take you along from the very beginning, truth be told!
Tear: Really? Thank you.
Tear: But I'm afraid you'll need to let me do my fair share. I'll show you my talents when it comes time to take on the enemy.
Vyrn: You're awfully serious, aren't you?
Lyria: Then it's decided. Let's get back to the Grandcypher!
A Tale of Skyborn Bonds - A Song of Celadon Skies - Episode 2: Scene 2
As Tear joins (Captain)'s group on their airship, Io wonders if the party should trust her so easily. During their next fight with the otherworldly monsters, Io and Tear end up saving each other, deepening their bond.
Tear: So this is an airship...
Lyria: Oh, that's right. It's your first time riding one, isn't it?
Tear: Yes. I suppose it's normal in this world, though.
Vyrn: Normal as can be! Speaking of which, welcome aboard the Grandcypher.
Vyrn: It's nice to have you along.
Tear: The pleasure is all mine.
Tear: Ah!
Vyrn: Huh? What is it? Why are you staring at me like that?
Vyrn: You plan on calling me a lizard, don't you! And pestering me with questions about why I can talk!
Tear: What? No, I—
Vyrn: Because I'm not a lizard! I get why you'd be surprised, but I'm certainly not a—
Tear: No, that's not it! I'm just...
Tear: You're not all that much alike, but I happen to know a creature about your size who can also talk. So no, I wasn't surprised by you.
Vyrn: Seriously?
Choose: Don't worry Vyrn, I'm sure you're cuter.
Vyrn: What are you talking about! Why would I be worried?
Vyrn: And why are we even talking about this in the first place?
Choose: What kind of creature?
Tear: It's actually a type of monster. It's herbivorous and calm, and its ears are all big and fluffy...
Vyrn: And it talks? I had no idea such things even existed. I mean, uh...why are we talking about this?
Continue 1
Vyrn: Oh yeah! So, why were you staring at me?
Tear: Because you're... Well, how do I put this? You're...
Tear: Very...cute.
Vyrn: Very what?
Tear: It's nothing! I'm sorry. Forget I said anything!
Vyrn: The heck was that about?
Io: How weird. (Captain), do you think it's smart of us to have brought her along?
Vyrn: What are you getting at?
Lyria: Do you not trust her, Io?
Io: It's not that I don't trust her, but...
Io: Isn't she just using us? It's not like she trusts us either.
Vyrn: Why do you think that?
Io: Think about her story—she's looking for clues to get back to her own world, so she asks for passage on our ship in exchange for helping us exterminate monsters.
Io: For someone in such an unbelievable situation, don't you think she's way too calm?
Vyrn: Even if that were true, she doesn't seem like a bad person.
Lyria: I agree! Plus, her singing was beautiful. I'd love to have her sing for me sometime!
Io: I give up! You're all too easygoing!
Monster: ...!
Tear: They're faltering! Surround them!
Monster: ...?
Vyrn: Come on! Let's do this!
Monster: ...!
Lyria: Yay! We did it!
Io: I've never seen any of these monsters before.
Vyrn: Me neither. Tear's advice sure is coming in handy, though!
Tear: It's too soon to let your guard down. We've got more incoming!
Monster: ...!
Tear: Haah!
Tear: Are you all right, Io? It looked like you got grazed a little bit.
Io: I'm fine.
Tear: ...I'm sorry.
Io: Huh? What for?
Tear: I'll try not to get in your way.
Io: No, that's not it! That's not...
Tear: What's wrong?
Io: Ah! Watch out!
Io gives Tear a sudden, powerful shove.
Tear: Eeek!
Monster: ...!
A monster's claw fiercely swipes past where Tear had just been standing.
Vyrn: Too close! You guys okay?
Tear: We're good. Thank you, Io.
Io: Leave it for later. There's still work to be done!
Tear: You're right. Let's finish this!
