>> Final Route, Chapter 12: Her World
Previously: Ghost Coco was being cryptic!
The fact that she learned the lullaby from Tsugumi is not all that odd, really. Maybe Sara taught it to Tsugumi, who taught it to her.
No, I know that's not possible... but why?
The Tsugumi that Coco knows has never met Sara.
Sara doesn't exist there.
How do I know all this?
Coco insists that I'm just pretending not to know what's going on.
I know all about the other world, where Coco lives, where Sara doesn't, where Tsugumi got hurt, where I have a different face...
But wait, Coco! If Sara doesn't exist in your world, then how do you know about Sara?
When she's done being weird and cryptic, Coco answers my question with another question:
How do I know about her?
And I do know.
I've heard all these words.
I know about Sara and I swimming to the surface.
I know about escaping with You using a siphon.
But she knows more.
She knows things I don't know about yet.
Coco, what are you? Why did you appear to me?
She says that she's been waiting.
Waiting for so long.
All alone.
Waiting to see me again.
Before she leaves, Coco gives me one last hint.
The dream I saw wasn't a dream.
It all really happened.
Then, my consciousness begins to fade...
...my consciousness totally faded for a second there.
I blame the confusion rays constantly emitting from Coco's brain.
Over the last few days, Coco seems to have developed an ability to suck me into her strange antics like a vortex.
Another American Joke from Coco!
It was very long, and it was not very funny.
Why am I still so calm about all this?
It's like I'm living in a dream...
A dream of being walled in and oppressed.
Coco said that I know about her world.
What did she mean?
If I can just push past these walls...
And back to proper consciousness.
Let's find Tsugumi, we need to talk.
I just need to see something.
It will determine everything, whether or not it's there.
...It's there.
Just like I knew it would be.
Where did you get that scar, Tsugumi?
That scar.
She got it...
There's a scar.
It should be easier to see, though. It looks ancient, when really she just got it a couple days ago.
Tsugumi tells me about her condition.
About how she'll never grow old, and never die.
But, she also mentions something else...
Among the changes made to her genetic code, Cure gave Tsugumi infravision.
It's how she knew that the generator door wasn't safe to touch.
Well, I saw the scar on your leg, right?
That's proof right there.
In the darkness of the Gondola, Tsugumi shows me a body covered in scars...
