Full Transcript:

Protagonist: Jenna, I’ve arrived at the location the anomaly report mentioned. No energy fluctuation detected so far.

Rafayel: Even the ocean itself is calm.

Protagonist: What was that noise you heard? Just seagulls. Got it, I’ll remain on high alert and report back if I find anything.

Rafayel: So I’m a seagull now?

Protagonist: No, you’re the consultant I hired!

Rafayel: My job is to help you come up with ideas for your performance in the retirement home. Dealing with Wanderers was not part of the deal.

Protagonist: But you’re so good at it. Surely you wouldn’t want me to face those pesky Wanderes alone?

Rafayel: You’ll be fiiine. This area has always been safe. Even if any Wanderers pop up, they’re probably the stupid ones.

I set the detection area of the sensor to a wider range, but the radar still doesn’t pick up anything.

Protagonist: Nothing on the sensor… but the residents in the area did capture a video of the seagulls crying in shock.
