  • After defeating the Fathomless Dread, it ends up possessing Ares/Alice. Livia tries to snap them out of it, but to no avail. When all seems lost, Priscilla's voice can be heard. The scene cuts to the Great Tree plaza where everyone has gathered and Lucas says he's made a portal to connect Rigbarth with Audea allowing everyone to send their prayers to Ares/Alice and fight the Fathomless Dread's possession.

    Lucas: I’m just delivering a few prayers that deserve to be heard. I have connected these two planes with one last miracle. For a friend.
    Priscilla: I’m so sorry. I had no idea…If only I’d known how hard you’d been fighting-all to protect us. You’ve had to struggle through so much pain…So please, come home. Come home safe and let me thank you.
    Lucy: Could you be any more awkward? You should’ve told us! Had I known what you were up against, I’d have gone with you and made a competition out of it! It’s just like you to get a head start over me, Ares/Alice. But I’m not gonna let you off the hook. So please, please make it back okay. If you don’t, I’m really gonna make you regret it!
    Scarlett: You’ve always been one step ahead of me. Just look at how far you’ve come. I thought of myself as a mentor to you, but you’ve been the one teaching me from the start. Ares/Alice…I want you to tell. me. What is the meaning of justice? What does it mean to protect something? I need to hear it from you, in your words.
    Priscilla: Ares/Alice! You helped me find my courage! If anyone can outshine that creeping darkness, it’s someone as strong and bright as you!
    Lucy: You’ve already won our competition, Ares/Alice!So don’t lose this one. You got this!
    Scarlett: Th-This is embarrassing, but please take strength from my personal mantra. JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL!
    Fukka: Knock that weakling outta here! Ares/Alice! Keep fighting! Rawwr!
    Beatrice: Ares/Alice, this shadowy pall doesn’t suit you in the slightest! Somehow, someway, you must return. To the light. To Rigbarth. To us!
    Ludmilla: Listen. I’m really good at self-control. So good that it hurts! But I’m seriously gonna lose it if you’re gone. I don’t wanna hurt like that!
    Martin: I don’t know how to say this, but you’re important. To everyone. So, be safe. You are...important to me, too.
    Cecil: Ares/Alice, don’t stop fighting now! Save the day like you always do, then come home to Rigbarth!
    Murakumo: If I could, I’d take your place in a heartbeat. But we both know you’re the only hero for this job. Just think of it as a favor you’re doing me and the others. I’ll be sure to pay you back. No matter how much interest I rack up, I’ll return the favor. So make sure you come back to collect.
    Ryker: If you’re lost in the dark, close your eyes and seek out the light. And if you can’t find it, I’ll give you some of mine. Awaken, Ares/Alice!
    Reinhard: Alice…I confess I’m not worried at all. You’ve brightened out live and given us hope, so no matter how dark things get, I know there’s still a light in you. A light like yours…It will never be extinguished!
    Lucas: Ares/Alice. If something were to happen to you…I would weep enough tears to fill a second lake in Rigbarth. I’m asking you, please don’t make a god cry.
    Elsje: …I’m the one who oversleeps, okay? Don’t try to take my schtick. Just wake up already. When you come back, I’l make you the chef’s special, on the house…Though I can’t guarantee it’ll taste any good.
    Simone: Hey now, don’t make him/her WANT to stay asleep. Ares/Alice, no matter what she says, Elsje is praying for your safe return. As am I, of course. I can heal any injury you get, but there’s no cure for losing your life. Just stay alive until I can treat you.
    Palmo: EU…reka…It’s no use. I cannot find my inspiration.
    Yuki: Oh goodness. If YOU can’t get inspired, Palmo, then I’m afraid woolies may fall from the sky. And while that would be cute…it just wouldn’t be the same.
    Randolph: Yuki, what are you talking about?
    Yuki: You know what I mean. It just wouldn’t be the same…without him/her to see it.
    Randolph: Ah, I get it now. Yes, you’re right. Ares/Alice, you are an important part of your community. If you weren’t here in our lives, every I know would be sadder for it. So please, open your eyes, We’ll all be waiting for you back home.
    Palmo: When you return to use triumphant, Ares/Alice, I shall carve a commemorative statue in honor of your deeds! And at the unveiling ceremony, we shall bask in the euphoria of two minds united by inspiration!
    Terry: But here’s a riddle for you. How do you chase away a shadow that’s long enough to cover the entire world?
    Darroch: Just grit those teeth, and keep swinging’.
    Heinz: No, my friend, what you need is levity. Laughter is the best medicine, and a smile is a curve that can set things straight.
    Terry: Huh? Laughter…That’s so crazy it just might work. Heinz, will you do just the honor?
    '''Heinz: Don’t mind if I do. *pulls out a chunk of iron* Why is it spelled “creeping darkness” and not “kreeping darcness”? Because you can’t SEE in the darkness and creeping’s not oKAY! *Terry responds with a “…” while Darroch has an anime sweatdrop*
    Darroch:…Did that work?
    Terry: *pulls out a piece of iron himself* Not if he had to spell it out.
    Hina: Ares/Alice…If you don’t come back, I’ll be sad forever.
    Misasagi: Let’s pray that our feeling reach him/her, Hina. (Please…Please…be safe!)
    Hina: (Come home, Ares/Alice! I wanna play with you again!)
    Julian: (Please gods, protect Ares/Alice!) (Oh, and let Hina like me ba-nah, it’s not the time for that. Just do the Ares/Alice one for now!)
  • While all the wedding cutscenes are this, Cecil's wedding certainly sticks out, particularly the conversation between Cecil and Martin. Keep in mind Martin's been raising Cecil after their parents left. Martin near speechless and turns around with a corresponding sprite, a feature no other character in the game has.
    Martin: Cecil. Ares/Alice. Congratulations. You two are going to spend your lives together. If for any reason you ever start to doubt your happiness...don't. Have faith. Because I have faith in your love for each other. I know in my heart you'll build a happy family.
    Cecil: Aw, Martin...
    Martin: Ugh...don't cry you idiot! You'll make me start to...*turns around*
    Ares/Alice: Thank, Martin.
    Martin: Just...just hurry and get going already.
