Our Tomorrow
Following the Peisma incident, Berceau and Olivia apologize for concealing their true identities as fallen angels, yet the crew thanks them for their help and expresses a desire to continue traveling together. Berceau and Olivia happily accept.
Berceau: Fallen angels—beings created by Astrals, yet who turned against them.
Olivia: Foolish, pitiful beings, imprisoned in Pandemonium while their strings were pulled from the shadows.
Berceau: Over time, long-laid conspiracies eventually brought Pandemonium to ruin.
Olivia: The fallen angels imprisoned there were converted into energy, becoming precipian entities.
Berceau: Berceau, one of those fallen angels, tried to stop the spread of the precipian entities by incubating an enormous amount of that energy within herself...
Berceau: And with new power gained from the wedges, she succeeded in sealing away the precipian entities as their "lock."
Olivia: Olivia, originally a fallen angel whose true body joined the other precipian entities, gained the power of the "key" to help sustain the seal as Berceau's counterpart.
Olivia: Someday, they hope to finally grant their brethren, now turned into precipian entities, a meaningful end.
Some time has passed since the commotion caused by Peisma.
After revealing their true identities as fallen angels during the incident, Olivia and Berceau bow their heads to the crew.
Berceau: Forgive us... We should have told you the truth about who we are, but things ended up coming out in a messy way...
Olivia: We've been less than honest about our true selves for all this time. I admit that was wrong.
Olivia: Berceau aside, I was also hoping I could use you to help release our brethren imprisoned in Pandemonium.
Olivia: There was always the risk you'd get caught up in our problems. In fact, you were caught up in them...
Berceau: Erm! It wasn't all Olivia's fault!
Berceau: Though it was with a temporary body, Olivia was the only one able to leave Pandemonium, so she tried to help our brethren all on her own...
Berceau: And because she had to shoulder the burden alone, your crew suffered too, (Captain).
Olivia: No, it was my decision. I'm the one who bears the responsibility for deceiving you.
Berceau: No! It's not just your fault, Olivia! It's mine—it's all of ours!
Berceau: Ah! O-okay!
The pair snap to attention and face (Captain), who urges them to calm down.
Olivia: Sorry, I got carried away...
Olivia: Either way, we involved you in our troubles. We have to take responsibility for that.
Berceau: We know what we did wasn't right. So if you or your crew wishes to condemn us...
Vyrn: H-hold on a sec! "Condemn" is way too strong of a word!
Vyrn: Sure, it was a real shock learnin' you two are fallen angels and all.
Lyria: But you already told us you were primal beasts... and fallen angels are just primal beasts from a long time ago, right?
Berceau: Yes, that's right. We're primal beasts by nature, and those of us who rebelled against the Astrals became known as fallen angels.
Lyria: Exactly! So you can't really say you were lying, can you?
Olivia: That... might be true, but even so...
Vyrn: Hey, it ain't just you two—plenty of folks in the crew got their own baggage.
Vyrn: Of course it's best to be open with each other, but it's not that strange to have things you'd rather not talk about...
Lyria: Besides, you've always been a true friend to us, Olivia!
Lyria: Even while dealing with the whole fallen angel situation, you helped us on our journey so much.
Lyria: So I hope you don't worry about it too much. Isn't that right, (Captain)?
(Captain) agrees with Lyria and expresses a desire to continue traveling with Olivia and Berceau as crewmates.
Olivia: (Captain)... Lyria, Vyrn...
Berceau: Thank you all so much, truly.
Berceau: Though we had our reasons, we fallen angels left Olivia to fight all by her lonesome...
Berceau: It gladdens my heart to know you've treated Olivia with such kindness.
Vyrn: Hehe, that's what friends are for! It's only right to look out for each other!
Olivia: I've seen with my own eyes how your kindness extends to anyone, no matter who they are. That is something I truly respect.
Olivia: Thank you for forgiving us. And please know that I'd like to keep helping your crew.
Berceau: Me too! If there's anything I can assist you all with, please let me know!
Lyria: Thank you! That really puts our minds at ease!
Vyrn: We'll be countin' on ya from here on out, you two!
Berceau: Please do!
Olivia: I look forward to it.
Olivia: ...
Berceau: Olivia. Are you worried about (Captain) and the others?
Olivia: Yes. I suppose "worried" is the right word.
Berceau: They're all so kind...
Berceau: Which is why I worry that someday, they could be tricked by someone harboring ill intentions.
Berceau: If that should come to pass, I think they'd be really hurt...
Olivia: Yes... You can understand why I'm worried. I don't want them to go through what we did.
Berceau: A lot happened to us, didn't it...
Berceau: I find their kindness to be a precious thing. I hope they never lose it.
Olivia: That's right. I could never be as straightforward as they are though...
Berceau: You really think so?
Olivia: Yes. But that also means there are things I can do because I'm different.
Olivia: Kindness can be a weakness too; it can leave you vulnerable.
Olivia: If that vulnerability ever draws trouble their way, maybe I can shield them from it.
Olivia: I think that might be a way I can atone for deceiving them in the past.
Berceau: Atonement...
Berceau: Yeah. That's right... Staying kind isn't easy at all.
Berceau: I hope I can help (Captain) and the others stay the way they are.
Olivia: Thank you, Berceau.
Berceau: Huh?
Berceau: Haha, Olivia... I don't think I deserve your thanks. I haven't even done anything.
Olivia: No... I'm just grateful that you're here as my counterpart. It really means a lot—it gives me strength.
Berceau: I feel the same! With you beside me, I can keep going.
Berceau: If I were alone, there's no way I could keep holding all the others inside as I have...
Berceau: Even if I could, I probably wouldn't know what to do next. I would've felt completely lost.
Berceau: So I'm truly glad you became my counterpart...
Olivia: I see... Yes, I feel the same.
Olivia: We really are the same, aren't we?
Berceau: Yes, and that makes me happy!
Berceau: I'm sure everyone who became a precipian entity also feels stronger with you on their side, Olivia.
Berceau: We still don't know what role the precipian entities' power will play in this world...
Berceau: But there's one thing I do know for sure: Neither you nor I are alone anymore.
Olivia: Yeah. The key and the lock... Together, we are whole.
Berceau: Let's keep walking forward, Olivia—together.
Olivia: Yes. I'd like that.
As they smile at each other, the energy in Berceau's arms glows with a gentle light, as if in agreement.
As members of (Captain)'s crew and as fallen angels, the two continue to tread their path through the skies.
