Nowhere Monarch/Dialogue

These are Nowhere Monarch's dialogues.

Before Encounter

• Meredith: That album art - you've found it! Wait. Something's not right. "Timeless and Strange"? That's not the name of the album... And this cover art is slightly different too... The track listing... I don't know these songs. It's some alternate universe version. The one I wanted isn't here. I knew I shouldn't have expected anything good to happen to me. Typical...

(Meredith and Cass fall as the floor collapses, landing in a Mer-Line Station)

• Meredith: Urgh, what happened... Cass, are you OK? The record - I dropped it. Can you see it?

Pre-battle

• Meredith: Wh-what is that?! Why does it look so... wrong?! It hurts my head just looking at it... Cass, it's an Archangel, isn't it...?

• Nowhere Monarch: I KNEW I FELT IT!
  AN EMPTINESS. A HOLE WHERE A HEART SHOULD BE. IT EMPOWERS ME.
  I WISH TO CONSUME IT WHOLE.

• Meredith: W-who are you? What are you talking about?

• Nowhere Monarch: YOUR KIND COULD LIVE SUCH RICH LIVES.
  BUT INSTEAD YOU TRADE IT FOR HOLLOW SYMBOLS AND ARTIFICE.
  YOU EXCHANGE SOMETHING MEANINGFUL FOR NOTHING.
  MY CASTLE IS FILLED WITH ALL THE EMPTINESS YOU LEAVE BEHIND!

• Meredith: Your... castle? The mall? Are you serious? This place is a ruin! Filled with trash! It's nothing!

• Nowhere Monarch: YES... IT IS NOTHING...
  AND I AM THE KING OF NOTHING!
  COME, LET ME CONSUME YOUR EMPTINESS!

Mid-battle

• Meredith: It'd be so easy... It'd be so easy to give up and just die... But that's not me! I'm sick of letting myself down!

(Cass and Meredith's hearts act as one!)

Post-battle

• Meredith: Uh... I realise that this was a really trivial thing to come all this way for. And a really stupid thing to nearly die over. You didn't have to do this. Thanks mate. I think... I've had enough of abandoned malls and mortal peril for today. C'mon, let's go back to town and check this record out.
