Unknown Spirit
Ferry has learned to understand the words of ghosts since she joined the crew, and she now enjoys talking to them. The crew goes to rid some ruins of an evil spirit, but Ferry restores it to its original form by naming it Momo, and Momo joins her on her journey.
(Captain) and the crew have taken a request and are now in a town bustling with people.
Ferry watches women go by, her head slightly tilted as if she's lost in thought.
Ferry: That outfit isn't too bad, but I think I'd prefer something easier to move around in.
Ferry: And her clothing... I'm not quite ready for anything like that yet.
???: ...!
Ferry: Wha? What is it, Beppo? Oh? You think I should quit daydreaming?
???: ...!
Ferry: Fugee, Nicola... There's no need to be so harsh.
???: ...
Ferry: Oh, Geegee... You're the only kind pet I have.
Fugee & Nicola: ...!
Beppo: ...!
Ferry: Haha! Okay, I'm sorry. I was just kidding, guys.
Lyria: Ferry, do you understand what your ghosts are saying?
Ferry: Huh? I do in fact. Though I didn't at first.
Ferry: I met them after we all became ghosts, you see.
Ferry: When I lived on the island, I could only understand them about as well as anyone understands an animal.
Beppo: ...!
Ferry: Hehe. That's right. Everything changed after I started traveling with (Captain).
Ferry: I gradually learned to understand what they're saying.
Ferry: It's a little hard to explain. They don't make any sounds, but I can perceive their voices as words.
Geegee: ...
Ferry: Well, of course I misunderstand you sometimes! Hearing silent voices isn't exactly easy!
Fugee & Nicola: ...!
Ferry: What? Hey, why are you two always so mean?
Ferry: What do you think, Lyria? Wasn't that terrible?
Lyria: Um... I'm sorry, but I have no idea what they're saying.
Ferry: Oh... I guess not.
Ferry: Hehe. It's interesting though. Now that I can make out their words, I can hear their accents too.
Vyrn: Hey! There they are! The ruins from the request.
Vyrn compares the building before the crew to the one on the request in his hand.
Ferry: I see...
Ferry looks up at the dilapidated building. With much of its paint peeled off, the whole place exudes a spooky atmosphere.
Vyrn: They said this place is haunted by an evil spirit, and it sure looks the part.
Lyria: Ugh... It feels like something could jump out at us at any moment.
Ferry: Maybe, but aren't ruins always like this?
Ferry: Let's just get this over with and—
Ferry: Huh? What was that voice just now?
Lyria: V-voice? I didn't hear anything.
Ferry: Huh? No, I'm sure I heard something. You guys did too, right?
Fugee & Nicola: ...!
Ferry: Of course you did. It came from the ruins. Something in there is saying it's lonely.
Lyria: Eek! Wh-what could it be?
Vyrn: Hmm... I didn't hear any voices. You didn't either, right, (Captain)?
Ferry: So it's just us who heard it?
Geegee: ...
Ferry: I see. A voice only we ghosts can hear, huh?
Ferry tilts her head slightly as she heads into the lair of the evil spirit, (Captain) and the others in tow.
The sound of creaking floorboards greets the intrepid crew members as they head into the shadowy building to bust the fiendish spirit.
Vyrn: Yikes. And I thought this place was ugly on the outside...
Lyria: I-it's so scary! Everything and its shadow looks like it has something hidden in it—even that curtain!
Ferry: You'll be okay. If anything pops out, (Captain) and I will—
Evil Spirit: Groar!
Lyria: Eek!
Vyrn: There's our boogeyman! Get it, (Captain)!
Ferry: ...!
No! Wait!
No! Wait!
Ferry senses something and reaches out a hand to stop (Captain).
Evil Spirit: Grrr...
Lyria: What's the matter?
Ferry: It's him.
Geegee: ...
Ferry: No question about it. He's the one I heard from outside.
Ferry: He's so lonely that he was crying.
Evil Spirit: Grrr...
Lyria: Really?
Vyrn: But didn't we come here to get rid of him? You know, the evil spirit that's rampaging in the ruins.
Vyrn: I know loneliness sucks, but it's no excuse to attack a construction crew.
Ferry: Yes, I agree, but still...
Ferry faces the evil spirit.
Ferry: What's your name?
Evil Spirit: ...
Lyria: Does, um, it have a name?
Ferry: He does. Since he's a ghost like me, he must have had a name when he was alive.
Lyria: Hmm... The request just calls him an evil spirit. No other name here.
Ferry: Is that so...
Ferry resolutely turns to look at (Captain).
Ferry: Hey, (Captain). Can you leave this one to me? I think I have an idea.
Ferry: Hehe. That was a quick reply. I'm glad you trust me.
Ferry: Thank you. I won't fail you, so just watch for a bit.
Choose: Are you sure it's okay?
Ferry: Hehe. Are you worried about me? (Captain), you're so sweet.
Ferry: But it's fine. I'm not going to do anything dangerous, so just watch for a bit.

Ferry slowly takes a step toward the evil spirit.
Ferry: Hey, can you tell me your name?
Evil Spirit: Grrr...
Ferry: Oh... So you forgot your name, huh?
Ferry: Over the long years, you lost not only your body but your name as well, and you became an evil spirit.
Evil Spirit: ...
Ferry: The townsfolk asked us to get rid of you.
Ferry: But I don't want to do that. You said you were lonely, and I don't want you to be on your own anymore.
Ferry: So I'm going to give you a name.
Ferry: Once you have that, you won't be a simple ghost anymore; you'll be just like me.
Ferry: You won't be an evil spirit anymore; you'll be yourself. The real you. And I'll never let anyone call you an evil spirit again.
Evil Spirit: ...
Ferry: From this point on, I will call you by your name, and I'll always be with you.
Ferry: So please accept this gift.
Ferry: From now on your name will be...
Peace returns to the ruins, and (Captain) and the crew stop by the town at Ferry's request.
Ferry, who wanted to visit the town's tailor, shyly steps out in front of the crew wearing a new outfit.
Ferry: What do you think? It looks okay, right?
Lyria: Better than okay! It really suits you, Ferry!
Ferry: Thanks, Lyria. This is the first outfit I've ever chosen by myself.
Ferry: While I lived on the island, I only wore clothes my parents chose for me.
Ferry: Those clothes are obviously still important to me, but...
Ferry: I've changed a lot since I left. I wanted something a bit more grown-up.
Ferry: You think so? Thank you, (Captain).
Ferry: Though it is a little embarrassing when you're all direct like that.
Choose: Yeah, you're all grown-up all right.
Ferry: Hey. That's not a very captain-like response!
Vyrn: Was that really necessary, (Captain)?
(Captain) gives a mischievous grin in response.
Ferry: Um... So I guess you at least don't mind my new outfit...

Vyrn: Anyway! Now that we're done here, let's get back to the airship.
Lyria: Yeah! We have a bunch of stuff to pick up on the way back after all.
Ferry: Okay, let's go.
Ferry: Come on, Momo. And the rest of you.
Momo: Rawr!
Beppo: ...!
Fugee & Nicola: ...!
Geegee: ...
Ferry's ghost pets, who were playing nearby, gather around her.
Vyrn: You know, I'm still surprised that the so-called evil spirit is coming with us.
Lyria: I'm surprised too—surprised at how cute he is!
Momo: Rawr!
Ferry: Hehe... Momo says he's rugged and handsome, not cute.
Lyria: Hah! Fair enough. Okay, Momo! You're handsomely cute!
Momo: Rawr!
Vyrn: Well, there ain't anymore evil spirits in the ruins, so that's a job well done!
Ferry: Yes. And now Momo will never degenerate back into an evil form again.
Ferry: After all, he has us now. Just like I have (Captain) and the rest of you.
Ferry takes (Captain)'s hand and smiles.
Having made a new friend, albeit a slightly strange one, (Captain) and the crew continue their journey with yet another member aboard the Grandcypher.
