"Here, you'll hear no human voices, see no human shadows. The sun's flickering flames will scorch you, draining the color from your skin. Only when the starlit night shields you from sunlight, or when the Sun rises to melt away the morning frost, will you find relief. These present hardships will torture you forever, and no one can save you. But you have left behind the fire… the fire that will liberate them. And the fire meant to free you was illuminated long ago." —Exomyth
[ After Lygus forces Caelus into confinement, the lone trailblazer finds himself in a strange room. The Exomyth, with hundreds of numbers, unsettling red lights, monitors everywhere he looks… ]
This is… the place outside the legend? This doesn't feel the same as before. How should I get back…?
[ An unknown voice pierces the silence, repeating the words on the screens.
[ Then, the next voice. A voice that causes Caelus's skin to crawl. He almost jumps where he stands.
"Since we parted ways last time, I have modified the Exomyth into an "audience area" exclusive to you. Now, you'll be able to silently wait here for the final act of Amphoreus to begin."
Caelus's eyes widen slowly, staring at the void of this place before throwing his arms in determination. His brows furrow. ]
Let me out!
[ But Lygus, of course, doesn't comply. He only lets out a smile, wherever he is. Caelus may not see him, but he can feel that expression. It makes him furious.
"I understand your anger, but I cannot allow you to continuously influence the extrapolation's progress."
Though before Caelus can yell out, another voice comes. A voice of a person he trusts this time, instantly relieving him. Miss Herta.
"Can you hear me… little one?"

Is Herta saying… a certain Path's faction has arrived in Amphoreus, and I can ask them for help?
[ This is their cue. Cyrene looks at Subaru and then nods at him, signaling that it's their turn.
"Come, beautiful wandering dove. Let's get our raccoon out of there."
Since the two of them are hiding away from Lygus's reach, they have to do this indirectly. They have to aid Caelus to catch the attention of a certain person in Amphoreus, someone else who walks in the Path of Remembrance, in order for them to take notice of his location.
Cyrene begins, casting a spell to enhance Caelus's attunement to the Path of Remembrance. She believes Subaru will be able to cast his own personal light on the trailblazer, so that Caelus's concealed presence will stand out more. Enough to be found by his allies. ]
