Haase's Secret
The crew fend off the threat on the battlefield and find themselves back in town. Haase explains that they were transported to a memory of the War, where a certain primal beast studies the tactics of skydwellers to eventually best them; she also reveals her true identity as royalty and that the primal must be stopped if she is to return to the empire.
After vanquishing the monsters in the unfamiliar battlefield...
(Captain) and company are once again enshrouded in a white light and find themselves back in town.
Vyrn: What the... What just happened? Was that a dream?
Lyria: I can still feel it all... That was too real to be a dream...
Haase: Nice to see you all made it back safely.
Lyria: Ah! Haase!
Vyrn: Where were you the whole time! You have any idea how worried we were?
Haase: Sorry for making you worry. But I was here the entire time.
Lyria: Huh, what do you mean?
Haase: You look confused. Though I suppose that's only a given.
Vyrn: Wait, Braidy Girl, you're sayin' you know what's up with that place we were just in?
Haase: I'll explain everything in order.
Haase takes a deep breath before calmly continuing.
Haase: The world you were just in is a memory of the War.
Lyria: How is that even possible!
Vyrn: So it was a sort of dream then?
Vyrn: Except I don't get why something like that would happen so suddenly...
Haase: The reason lies with this card.
The expressions of (Captain) and company stiffen up at the sight of the card.
Vyrn: That reminds me—the moment that thingy went all shiny...
Haase: I apologize for startling you. But I figured things would proceed more smoothly if you all experienced the other world for yourselves firsthand.
Haase: A primal beast dwells within this card. An extraordinarily powerful one.
Vyrn: No way!
Haase: He repeats the memory of the War endlessly inside the card to master all sorts of attack patterns.
Haase: So that he can secure a guaranteed victory against skydwellers for when he materializes in the real world.
Haase: Unless we do something about it, that is exactly what will come to pass.
Lyria: There must be a way to stop him!
Haase: Indeed, there is. That's where you come in. I'd like you to enter this memory and stop the primal beast's learning process in warfare.
Haase: If you can best him time and time again, the amount of knowledge he must accumulate increases greatly.
Haase: That could delay his manifestation in reality so long that he considers victory over the skydwellers an impossibility and gives up.
Vyrn: Huh, I see...
Haase: Do you believe everything I've said?
Vyrn: It'll take a while for all that to sink in.
Vyrn: How'd you get ahold of something so grim to begin with?
Haase: Hm, I suppose it's only fair that I reveal myself if I expect you to trust me.
A short silence ensues before Haase finds the resolve to speak of her past.
Haaselia: Haaselia Alois Gangnus... That is my full name.
Haaselia: The truth is... I was born into the ruling family of the Galgenia Empire.
Lyria: You're royalty? Whoa!
Haaselia: Yes. This card has been passed down from generation to generation in the empire. Stopping that primal beast has been a mission of the imperial family for ages.
Haaselia: But one day... Those who sought to use the card wrongfully started a coup.
Haaselia: I figured the least I could do was make it out of the castle with this card safely, and so I ran.
Haaselia: I'm sorry for keeping my identity a secret until now. But I must remain cautious.
Vyrn: You mean you're still on the run, Braidy Girl?
Vyrn: How can you afford to be getting involved in other cases when your life's in danger?
Haaselia: Indeed, I would be safer off hiding in a secure location.
Haaselia: But the thought of someone terrorizing helpless children compelled me to action.
Haaselia: Oh, this must all sound so bizarre to you...
Vyrn: Come to think of it, the way you talk and carry yourself really gives off an upper-class feeling!
Lyria: Hey, Haase's not suspicious at all! I mean, just look at how polite and elegant she is in everything she does!

Haaselia: I appreciate the vote of confidence. Thank you.
Haaselia expresses gratitude and relief in her smile before reverting back to a serious tone.
Haaselia: Thankfully my pursuers have not discovered me. And the card remains safe in my hands.
Haaselia: However, I alone cannot stop the primal beast.
Haaselia: Which is why I was searching for people who could assist me.
Haaselia: If we can stop the primal, the card would lose its meaning...
Haaselia: And thus the knaves who seek to overthrow the empire would cease their coup, allowing me to return home... At least that's what I'm hoping for.
Haaselia: So please... Won't you consider my request?
Vyrn: Considering we'll get to save you and stop the primal beast, there's no way we'd turn you down!
Choose: You really think we can help?
Lyria: I'm sure we can handle it, (Captain)!

Haaselia: Thank you so much, everyone. I'm so fortunate to have stumbled into you all.
Vyrn: All righty then! Let's get ready to roll with the punches!
The crew graciously agrees to help Haaselia with her plight.
In order to save this royal Harvin, they enter into the throes of battle once more.
