Scene 126

Zash

Yo, Pucci. That white-haired weasel already slither out of here?

Pucci

Yeah... And he wouldn't even show me the legendary weapon.

The only weapon in this Sanctuary is the one he took with him, right?

Pucci

Huh? What are you even saying? Why would there be more than one lying around? It's the legendary weapon, wielded by Kati.

Well... what happens if, hypothetically, we're not able to retrieve the weapon that was stored here?

Pucci

The fewer weapons you find, the lower your chances of success will be. The swordmasters of legend fought together, after all.

Musoh

So I guess the questline continues on whether or not the party nabs all the weapons—but with a nasty difficulty spike if you don't.

Zash

Are we even in a position to continue on, then? It's not like Arne was in a hurry to join us...

Musoh

Forget about him. Let's keep our eyes on the prize and focus on getting the next weapon.

Stina

So do you have any idea where the next Sanctuary is, Pucci?

Pucci

No clue!

Musoh

Come on, kid, be serious. You have to know something!

Pucci

Except I really don't.

Musoh

Oh, I see what's goin' on. No weapon, no precious pearls of wisdom—that it?

Pucci

......

Musoh

All we need is a hint, kid. How else're we supposed to know where to head next?

Pucci

Didn't I just tell you I don't know anything? If you don't have a legendary weapon to show me, then we've got nothing to talk about.

Musoh

Sheesh, some help he is. What's the move, Iori?

Hm...

Musoh

You still thinking about that guy?

In a roundabout way, yes. I just thought of something.

Do you remember Cal saying he had a brother he wanted to play with?

I was just thinking—there's a decent chance that guy might be Cal's brother.

Zash

If that's true, then why's his brother running around out here alone? And why didn't Cal respond to your messages—

Zash

Oh...

......

Stina

Could Cal be...

Zash

Well... why don't we go find out ourselves? The Black Iron Palace...

Yes... Yes, let's go.
