Following Cantarella, Rover descends the staircase to the first floor. They notice the statue overlooking the foyer has something very unusual for something so conspicuous.

Rover: (It's thick with dust. Hard to believe they're truly worshipping it.)

Cantarella: “Curious about that statue? It represents the unbroken friendship between the Fisalias and the Order. But in the eyes of outsiders, it is more a symbol of defeat and submission.”

A strong fragrance strikes Rover as they continue following Cantarella to the rear of the ground floor.

Rover: (The aroma from these plants... It's the same scent that was in the study.)

Cantarella seems to catch onto Rover’s interest.

Cantarella: “These are Violacas. They produce a unique fragrance, wouldn't you say? Violacas are a vital ingredient for our elixirs. It even has a soothing effect on its own.”

She stops in front of a bookcase — a simple press of a hidden button and it swings open, leading to a stairwell descending further down into the depths.

Cantarella: “This is it. Are you prepared?”

Rover: “Yes.”

Cantarella: “Now that we're here, I'm afraid I can't let you leave. Even if you want to.”

The path eventually leads to an open chamber, a different statue of the Sentinel is present — missing its aquatic features. A sword rests inside a pedestal in the middle of the room. As Rover notices the features on the statue, they feel a force intrude into their head. Cantarella puts a hand on Rover’s shoulder to pull Rover back to reality.

Cantarella: “Just as I expected... The Threnodian "took notice" of you the moment you learned the truth. Rover, what you see in this sanctuary is the Sentinel in Their true form. A majestic steed that galloped with the wind, not a creature of the ocean's depths. The Order worships a half-horse, half-sea creature Divinity, a form the Sentinel assumed only after being corrupted by the Threnodian. Although the Sentinel's will has yet to fade, who knows how much longer They can endure.

Cantarella: “Rover. I wish to ask you to persuade the Sentinel of Jinzhou—Jué—to come to Rinascita. To save Imperator.

Rover: “That's much easier said than done. What makes you think I can do that?”

Cantarella: “In return, I will agree to whatever condition or request you make.”

Rover: “A Sentinel cannot leave its commissioned region. Jué leaving Jinzhou would be a betrayal of duty. [Also,] Jué is still in the middle of a recovery.”

A series of emotions pass across her face in an instant. However she returns to her gentle stoicism without delay.

Cantarella: “I understand the position you are in. Word has it that you're currently staying at a hotel and are at odds with the Order. Perhaps a stay at my estate would suit you, for the remainder of your time in Rinascita? I can offer you a glimpse into Rinascita's past, and you'd be spared the Order's unwelcomed attention.”

Rover: “There might still be a path forward. Carlotta once helped me interpret some stained glass images. The story it told was very similar to what you've described. Only more biased towards the Order. It mentioned a maiden who would emerge as the Sentinel's Resonator and later save Rinascita. Do you think that's also a lie?”

Cantarella: “Care to elaborate?”

(Describe to Cantarella what was portrayed on the stained glass.)
