A Familiar Voice
An imperial researcher with ties to Rosamia's mask has been arrested by the Erste Empire, so the crew heads to where he's being held to attempt a rescue. They are stopped by an imperial officer, whose voice is recognized by Rosamia.
According to wild rumors, someone with ties to the mask has been captured by the Erste Empire.
Fearing that it may be one of Rosamia's family members, the crew heads to the military prison.
Rosamia: The person on this wanted poster... It can't be!
Katalina: Is it a family member?
Rosamia: No. This is an imperial researcher.
Rosamia: He helped me escape the research facility.
Vyrn: But the picture is crossed out, which probably means he got caught. What's gonna happen to him?
Rosamia: The price for allowing a secret of the imperial army to escape is death.
Vyrn: Say what? That's awful!
Rosamia: (We should leave him. There's nothing to be gained from a rescue mission.)
Rosamia: I can't abandon my liberator. Even if I have to do it alone.
Vyrn: Hah! We'd lose face as a crew if we didn't help someone who saved our friend!
Rosamia: ...!
(I blurted out my inner thoughts again!)
(I blurted out my inner thoughts again!)
Rosamia: (Although he helped me escape, that doesn't change the fact he was a mask researcher. Why should I save him?)
Rosamia: (Has (Captain)'s compassion rubbed off on me?)
Vyrn: Hehe! We've already come this far! Let's go! (Captain)!
Officer: Well, well. Looks like we've got visitors.
Vyrn: Ack! We've been spotted!
Rosamia: That armor... He's not a normal soldier. A lieutenant perhaps? But what is someone of rank doing here...
Officer: You're that test subject, if I'm not mistaken. Did you come to turn yourself in?
Rosamia: There's no mistaking that voice.
Officer: All personnel, draw swords!
Soldiers: Yes sir!
Vyrn: Here they come! Get ready, (Captain)!
Officer: Attack!
Soldiers: Sir! Yes sir!
A Familiar Voice: Scene 2
The crew slips past the prison guards to reach the imprisoned researcher, but once again the imperial officer from before prevents them from escaping. Rosamia, claiming to have mastered the mask's power, faces off against the officer.
The imperials drop their guard for just an instant, and the crew makes a break for it.
They find the researcher and prepare to make their escape.
Researcher: I was a goner. You're the last person I'd expect to come save me.
Rosamia: Why did I even bother with this nuisance. You should be more considerate to those that clean up your mess.
Researcher: Wahahaha! Harsh as always!
Rosamia: No time for chit-chat. They've found us.
Officer: Humph. There you are! You can forget about escaping!
Vyrn: Argh, can't you take the hint? We'll just keep kicking your butts!
Officer: Listen, men! She won't be able to maintain consciousness for long! Eventually she'll lose control!
Rosamia: Unfortunately for you, I will no longer allow this mask to overcome me.
Officer: Oho... That's interesting.
Rosamia: I've learned how to keep this mask in check.
Rosamia: Although you are my enemy, I must thank you for helping me to achieve that.
Officer: Hahaha! Say what you will, but I have no idea what you're thanking me for!
Officer: Let's see if you're bluffing! Get them!
Soldiers: Sir! Yes sir!
A Familiar Voice: Scene 3
After giving the order for his troops to retreat, the imperial officer lets slip that Rosamia's family is still safe. The rescued researcher modifies the mask, making it easier for Rosamia to draw its power. No longer resigned to a fate dictated by the mask, she walks the path of war until the day the empire falls and her family is safe.
Rosamia: As long as I can harness the mask's power, you stand no chance against me. You do understand what that means, don't you?
Officer: Very well! You leave me no choice!
Officer: All personnel... retreat!
Soldiers: Yes sir!
Soldiers: ...
Soldiers: Huh?
Rosamia: A wise decision. It'd be shameful to harm those running away with their tails between their legs.
Officer: Tch!
Soldier: Sir! We can still fight! There's no way we'd run in the face of the enemy!
Officer: Idiot! The difference in power is clear! I won't waste lives on futility!
Officer: I will take full responsibility! Now fall back!
Soldiers: Yes sir!
Officer: Rosamia, was it? I'll let you go this time, but I will hunt you down. You and your family. Don't forget that.
Rosamia: So they haven't been caught yet.
Rosamia: I don't know if you told me out of kindness or let it slip like a fool, but thanks for telling me.
Officer: Curses!
Officer: Move out!
Soldiers: Sir! Yes sir!
(Captain) and company successfully escape the imperial prison.
Researcher: Whew... With these mask modifications, you should be able to use its powers more efficiently now.
Vyrn: Can't you just turn it off or something instead of modifying it?
Rosamia: Impossible. It's not a simple matter of putting it on or taking it off.
Researcher: I'm sorry. This is all I can do for you.
Rosamia: That's fine. Besides, I still need this power.
Rosamia: I will use it to crush the empire's schemes and return to my family.
Branded as the Masked Traitor, Rosamia's struggle is not over yet.
No longer resigned to a fate dictated by the mask, she vows to change destiny by using her own strength.
She walks the path of war until the day the empire falls and her family is safe.
