The source of Lorelei's madness falls to the ground: the Lycoris. Rover destroys it. The laurel crown on Lorelei's head vanishes.
Zani: “That flower... looks like the petals we found in Whisperwind Haven.”
Rover: “It's the Fractsidus. I've dealt with them before, and I've seen a flower just like this.”
Lorelei: “How long have I been in slumber... This nightmare... How long was I trapped in it? Are you also part of the dream?”
Phoebe: “No, we are not... Might you be Lorelei?”
Lorelei: “I am. Travelers from afar, I sense... the kindness pulsing in your hearts. You must be the ones who broke the chains of my nightmare. The oathbreakers, hiding behind their Masks of Madness... They tainted the Nimbus Sanctum with corrupted blooms, drowning me in rage and sorrow. Endless nightmares became my prison.”
Zani: “Masks of Madness... I recall those people at the entrance of the Atrium mentioned it.”
Lorelei: “Had you not freed me from my nightmare, I would never be able to fulfill the Sentinel's task... The tides of the Nimbus Sanctum would have engulfed the whole of Ragunna, just as they once claimed the sacred temple now lying in ruins beneath you.”
Rover: “Wait. The Sentinel? Does that mean...?”
Lorelei: “Yes, the Sentinel molded me from a mindless being to the form you see, and bestowed upon me the most precious gift... A soul. They commanded me to restrain the clouds and prevent the Remnant Energy within it from... dissipating.”
Rover: “Can you contact Imperator? I need to meet with the Sentinel.”
Lorelei: “Unfortunately, it lies beyond my power. The Sentinel's link to the mortal realm is severed. Only through collective prayer, and a rite, at the height of the Carnevale, only then can mortals briefly commune with Them.”
Zani: “A rite... You mean the Carnevale?”
Phoebe: “No, that's impossible! The current Primus, Fenrico the Enlightened One, was given a direct oracle from the Sentinel. The Sentinel has always been with the people!”
Lorelei: “I'm afraid the Sentinel's current state... transcends mortal understanding. Your Primus is no exception. Should doubt linger in your mind, I implore you to await the rite's completion. The Sentinel will surely answer the people's call-not your so-called... Enlightened One.”
Rover: “One last thing. Those oathbreakers wearing Masks of Madness you mentioned, do you know who they are?”
