Main Story

Events

Ode to Sun

Yanyan arrives in DisCity as part of an Eastian delegation to help destroy the Sun Crow. At the first strategy meeting between the Eastians and DisCity, Yanyan recites the Ode to Sun, a millennia-old myth detailing the origin of the Sun Crow and the method to destroy it. She says that they must "snap off a branch from the blessed tree, take the Dragon's Vein from the East Sea, weave a Wraith Spirit fletching, and finally craft an Almighty Bow"; this instruction is mostly met with confusion and derision by the assembled officials. Yanyan tries to convince them, but Du Ruo is forced to intercede and act as an interpreter. Thanks to Du Ruo's efforts, the Schorl representing Paradeisos orders that the Eastians' mythological pursuits are to be supported by the MBCC.

Yanyan begins working with the Chief, and is excited to learn that they are having similar dreams of the Great Seer of Sunset Town. However, while Yanyan is comforted by the visions in which she believes the Seer is encouraging her to carry on, the Chief is deeply disturbed but what they see as a horrific, contaminated figure. In search of the blessed tree from the prophecy, Yanyan leads the Chief and their FAC escort to the partially-reawakened ruins of BR-002. There, Yanyan is confused but enchanted by the many differences between her home and Drifter Camp; she bonds over a cultural exchange with Greta and learns about the battle against the Black Ring. Although events don't exactly line up with her expectations from the prophecy, they manage to retrieve a crystallized contaminant from the top of the High Tower ruins which Yanyan approximates to the sacred branch, and the Chief reassures her that there are many ways of interpreting myths which may not be what one first expected.

Next, they head to the Rust, where once-stable corruption has begun to rise and flow towards Eastside. They rescue a scavenger from the flood of contamination, and despite the Chief's objection, Yanyan allows him to serve as their guide by using Eastian sorcery to protect him. Yanyan is terrified by the wreckage of the carnival rides around BR-001, having never encountered anything like an amusement park back home, where frequent devastation has prevented society from ever building back up to the point where such a frivolity could be possible. They are attacked by dragon-like corruptors, which struggle for control of their own actions; upon slaying them, Yanyan discovers a fiery, worm-like creature within their bodies that seemed to be restricting their movements, and identifies it as the prophesied dragon's vein. The strange existence unsettles the Chief and FAC, but upon returning to the MBCC, a Schorl scans it and confirms that it is not from DisCity and has properties that repel the Apostle's kin, reconfirming the value of their mission.

Unlike the previous excursions, Yanyan is trepidatious about setting out on their third mission; she confesses to the Chief that they need the blessing of the "Divine Lord" to craft an arrow that can shoot down the Sun Crow, but that few Seers have ever managed to channel the fearsome spirit. Upon reaching their destination of Keylan Square she and the Chief witness an apparition invisible to everyone else nearby. It instructs Yanyan to complete a series of bizarre tasks, which cause not only the FAC soldiers accompanying them but even Yanyan herself to doubt whether she has interpreted the Divine Lord's commands correctly. The Chief reassures her that even if their actions are pointless, the devotion she is showing will surely bring her closer to the Divine Lord, and indeed when Yanyan communes with it again, the spirit visits them in the form of a fat bird that leaves behind two golden feathers to use as fletching for their arrows. Satisfied and exhausted by heavy use of her powers, Yanyan quickly falls asleep; she is carried back to base by the FAC soldiers, won over by her persistence and dedication. While she sleeps, Yanyan inadvertently begins to channel the Sun Crow. Believing that she is conversing with the Great Seer, she nearly allows the Apostle to possess her body, and is saved only by the timely rescue of Du Ruo and the FAC's anti-Mania technology.

Yanyan begins to craft the sacred bow, but is overwhelmed by anxiety at having to live up to the Great Seer's example. Du Ruo tries to soothe Yanyan's anxiety about living up to the example of the Great Seer of Sunset Town by talking about the Great Seer from her own perspective, humanizing her, sharing examples of her failures and foibles, and revealing how the Seer had to struggle to achieve the things that Yanyan idolizes. Her stories calm Yanyan down, allowing her to finish the bow and look forward to facing the Sun Crow. The next day, Yanyan succeeds at firing a direct shot into the Sun Crow. Her arrow temporarily suppresses it, but without the power of collective belief in the legend that the Almighty Bow had to draw upon in Eastia, it is insufficient to defeat the Sun Crow. When the Sun Crow breaks free, it again invades Yanyan's mind and she collapses; Du Ruo takes her unconscious body to safety.

The Eastians regroup in WhiteSands and observe the Sun Crow's attack from a distance. With the forces of DisCity having turned against them, they debate whether or not they should leave the city to its fate. Yanyan accuses Du Ruo of having lied to her, knowing all along that the Sun Shot wouldn't work, but Du Ruo replies that that's the thing about faith — nobody can be sure what is true until the very moment it happens. Yanyan reflects on all the people she met in DisCity and decides that there must be something they can believe in just like the people of Eastia believe in their legends — and besides, she doesn't want them to suffer the way the Eastians have. At Yanyan's urging, the envoys decide to stay. Yanyan channels the Sun Crow, entering the Apostle's mind just as it previously entered hers in order to weaken it. In the final battle, she uses her sorcery to assist the FAC while the Chief defeats the Sun Crow with a new Almighty Bow.

Later, in the sand of the battlefield, Yanyan finds a strange egg containing an infant Yao.

Interrogation

Phase 1

Show

The Eastian delegation has left DisCity, but Yanyan has stayed behind. The Chief had instructed their staff to take Yanyan's prophecies seriously, but she has predicted a string of disasters for various departments in the Bureau, none of which have come true. The Chief is reluctantly forced to have a conversation with Yanyan about it. When they sit to talk with her, she quickly launches into her latest prophetic dream, this one about an evil spirit born in an alley full of flith. Despite Yanyan's urgency, the Chief is unmoved. They ask her why she decided to stay in DisCity and when she plans on leaving, but she shiftily keeps trying to move the conversation back to her new prophecy. Eventually, the Chief lays out the reports of her failed predictions. Yanyan tries to make excuses as to why things didn't turn out as she expected, but eventually she admits that she has been having issues with her ability. She says that ever since the Sun Crow was vanquished, her predictions have become less reliable. They realize that her powers are based on faith, and that her failure to defeat the Sun Crow with her sun shot shook her belief in herself. She has avoided going home to Eastia because she doesn't believe she can be a good seer like this, but the more she worries, the worse her predictions become.

The Chief regrets their negligence, which has allowed Yanyan to become so anxious without even noticing. They decide that to replenish her self-confidence as a seer, they need to show her that she can still help protect people, and they decide to start with her new evil spirit prophecy.

Struck by reality, Yanyan admits something is wrong with her abilities. To help repair her power and faith, you decide to take her to verify her latest prophecy.

Phase 2

Show

The evil spirit in the alley that Yanyan predicted turns out to just be an open sewer grate, but Yanyan at least saves an old woman from falling into it. She is initially disappointed by another failed prophecy, but she's quickly distracted as the old woman turns out to be searching for aliens. Excited by this new adventure, Yanyan insists on going with her to the next location on her search, a magical wishing tree. Their endeavor is predictably fruitless, but Yanyan and the old woman quickly bond, as the woman reminds Yanyan of her granny and Yanyan reminds the woman of her daughter. Eventually, the old woman reveals that her daughter died when she was young, and that she began alien hunting because of her daughter's fascination with them. Her daughter also died with a secret wish, which the woman has always guessed was to know whether aliens were real. In order to help this woman, Yanyan is determined to use her ability to divine what the girl's final wish really was.

The old lady who resembles Yanyan's grandmother has a sorrowful past. Moved by her story, Yanyan decides to help her fulfill her wish after careful consideration.

Phase 3

Show

Yanyan tries to channel the spirit of the old woman's dead daughter. Her power fluctuates wildly and it causes her intense anguish as she relives all the disasters of her life and all her failures during the Sun Crow operation. She snaps out of it once and the woman begs her to stop, but Yanyan brushes her off. The Chief backs Yanyan up and insists that she knows her own limits. Yanyan makes another attempt, and this time, she succeeds at channeling the dead girl's spirit into her body. The old woman and her daughter happily reconnect, sharing stories and photos about her alien investigations. But before long, the girl's spirit begins to fade. The old woman asks what wish her daughter died with, and she replies that it doesn't matter, because it's already been fulfilled. Her only remaining wish is for her mother to live out the rest of her life safely and happily.

Yanyan returns to her senses. She apologizes to the old woman for not being able to channel longer, as her skills are still developing, but the woman has nothing but gratitude toward her. Yanyan thanks her too for giving her the chance to get back her motivation as a seer. Several days later, Yanyan returns to Eastia. She is back to the cheerful girl she was before, but has also gained a sense of purpose and confidence that she never had. She and the Chief both agree that by the next time they meet, she will surely be Eastia's greatest seer.

Having shed her doubts and concerns, Yanyan grows like a sun-facing flower toward her goal as a reliable seer.
At the moment of farewell, you make a pinky promise with each other about the luminous future.
