Player, wait! I have something for you!

...Wait, where... Hold on... just a second...

Where...? Oh, here it is. You've got a Voice Cube!

...You look confused.

Don't you know what a Voice Cube is?

Player: "No. What is a voice cube?"

Unbelievable! You need to get with the latest technology!

A Voice Cube is one of the pinnacles of Stellin's technology.

It's a voice letter!

The cube can record voices, and save or send the messages.

Now that you have one, you should try it! It's really quite useful.

It saves a lot of time writing letters. Anyway, here!

Player: "It's from Inanna...."

Player! You escaped!

I'm glad... I was worried.

Player: "I'm fine. Inanna, your 'friend' at Stellin. Is it Benirunerk?"

...Yes. Benirunerk is my contact at Stellin.

He's the reason I work for them. He's my friend.

He... he means a lot to me.

Player: "But you were there with me! Benirunerk is dangerous. He's been lying to you!"

No!

I don't believe that!

I confronted Benirunerk about everything we saw. He explained everything, and it all made sense.

Player, this is a complicated situation. Benirunerk explained everything we saw.

It's just... it's complicated.

Player: "How can it be complicated?!"

I can't... Look, I can't repeat everything word for word, but I know what he said. It all made sense to me when he explained it. I trust him.

And I'm not saying I don't trust you, Player! I do!

It's just... I know Benirunerk really well. He's different around me. He's honest with me, more than he is with most people.

He wouldn't lie to me.

Player: "How are you so sure?"

Benirunerk and I... we met when we were both captives. When the Naduka had us.

It was awful. When I met Benirunerk...

...I was ready to give up and die.

I was actually hoping for it. For death.

Let me explain.

Player: "I'm listening."

Girl! Hey, girl, listen!

Balaur-girl is a runaway, yes?

Shugo saw it. Almost got away!

Wait! Girl!

Player: "M-me...?"

Yes! Balaur-girl looks young, but is very smart! Very brave!

This shugo made an escape plan too, but was too scared... But girl did!

Wait. Listen! Just for a minute!

Special girl. Name! Please!

Player: "Me? Special? ...My name is... Inanna."

Inanna? Is something special in Inanna. Can feel it!

Shugo is Benirunerk, nyerk. A genius mechanic! Can fix anything! Everything!

Inanna. If... If Inanna plans to escape again, bring Benirunerk!

Is better with two... and Benirunerk can fix anything! Can help each other. Yes?

Balaur are cruel. Inanna knows. Shugos aren't meant to live like this.... No one is.

Please, Inanna. Can help each other!

Get the Chrome Technology Lab Key from a Scaleshadow Lab Guard, nyerk....

Player: "...O-okay...!"

Benirunerk has dreamed of escaping from here for so long....

Inanna, Special Girl... Inanna is the best partner! Benirunerk is so grateful!

Benirunerk will come through, just like Inanna did.

Akakak... Benirunerk has a plan. Trust Benirunerk, nyerk.

Player: "You have a plan?"

Yes, yes.

Everything is ready!

We're finally leaving this awful place!

Player: "O-okay. Lead on!"

(This is the only exit leading out of Scaleshadow.)

(There is no other way to escape.)

(The light shines brightly at the exit.)

Player: (Escape Scaleshadow.)

Yes. He talked them into putting us in cells next to each other. He made me laugh. He kept my hopes up.

He said I was special. He was the first person to even think I wasn't a monster, let alone that I was special.

He was my first friend. He actually cared about me.

He actually saw me, not just a monster.

And if he was just using me to break out of jail, why would he have sacrificed himself to save me?
