Part 56: Luca's Ending
Here's some talks that you can only get if you've dived into Luca 6 (which is apparently how they determine you're on Luca's Path).
Heroine Topics: Luca and Cloche
Intimacy with Luca
: Seems you've been pretty intimate with Croix, huh?
: What are you talking about? I'm not...: Oh, what an easily detectable lie. I feel he's dived pretty deeply into you.: Well... I can't say that. It's embarrassing.: ...It's almost the same as saying, "Yes." Well, you're happy, and that's what matters.: ...Yes, but I'm a little scared. He goes into me a lot, and I produce lots of new Song Magic... That means he gets to know me more deeply than anyone else does.: ...That's actually true.: So, when he gets to know me more, he may be disappointed.: That won't happen.: I'm serious. Please deal with this more seriously.: First of all, did you forget that you dumped him so harshly?: What!? I... was trying to forget about that.: Croix is a man who didn't give up on you even after that. Do you think he would ever like you less from seeing more inside of you?: ...... You mean, he's a stalker?
: Wut.: No, I just mean you don't have to worry about it. You'll continue to let him Dive into you anyway, right?: Well, only if he wants to...: Then it's a waste of time to worry about it. Just be ready to show every part of you to him.: ...... ...Yeah. I guess you're right. I'll do that, Lady Cloche.Luca's Jealousy
: Uh...what are you doing with Croix every night?: What are we doing!? We're just talking!: ...Why do you sound so nervous?: Because...I'm not used to these kinds of topics. First of all, you should ask, "What are you talking about with him?" instead of "doing".: Yeah, you're right. Sorry...: ...Although, if my boyfriend was talking with another girl in her closed room, I would be suspicious, too.: No, I'm not. I trust you.: Aren't you supposed to trust Croix?: ...I'm afraid if you tried to seduce him, he'd probably fall for it.: ...You're already talking about "if I tried to seduce him." That shows you don't trust me.: No! Well...uh...: Haha, it's alright. Anyway, there is nothing fishy between us. Trust me.Heroine Talks: Luca and Jacqli
How Deep You go?
: Excuse me...
: What?: Uh... the Cosmosphere...is pretty fun.: Oh, yeah. Of course it's fun.: ......: Want to talk about Croix?: ...How did you know? Jacqli, how deep will you let him go inside you?: All the way to the end, when the story of my Cosmosphere ends.: ...That means, you'll show everything about you to him?: Just up to the end of the story, but not after that...: ......: ...Don't worry, I won't show him anything about me except what's in the story. I'm not going to steal your boyfriend.: ...... I see. Sorry for asking such a stupid question.I really like this conversation, since it's basically letting Jacqli decide not to continue the relationship. If you're seeing this conversation, it means the Luca Level 5 decision was made in favor of Luca before Jacqli's story ended. Effectively Jacqli backs herself down before Croix can say no to her, in order to not hurt Luca, a fellow Reyvateil.
Thanks for Protecting
: Hey, Jacqli...thank you for protecting Croix.: Oh? I didn't protect Croix.: Yeah, but you were supporting him while Lady Cloche and I were away from him, right?: ...I only supported him.: That was enough. I was worried about him, but when I saw you with Croix, I was so relieved. Thank you, Jacqli.: ...... Well, I don't think he needed my power, anyway. Your boyfriend's stronger than you think. He would be okay, even without me.: Really? I'm glad to hear that. Thank you.: ...Huhn!: Where'd Raki go?
: I don't know, maybe she's off removing a few more errant lizards from Sol Marta or something.: How'd it get overrun like that, anyway?: Blame Infel, I guess.: Speaking of Infel, I wonder if Luca can beat them. In a lot of ways, she's the weakest of the three Reyvateils they had.
Recovered_Video_Load I forgot that Luca gets one song from Frelia's Binary Field, so I used that at the beginning of the video. Also, the comment about Luca being the weakest Reyvateil is serious - according to the game, her best non-synchronity song is less powerful than the strongest song Mir gets when she isn't your ending lock. She doesn't really have anything like Replekia to make up for it.
: Wow, that was easier than I expected.: I think the Vanguards got beefed up by the sim to prevent a loss.Actually, it was the grinding I did for the 50,000 DP that did it.
: Seen it, skip, seen it, skip... Here we go! Recovered_Video_Load 
: Croix...
: What are you doing here?: Nothing really... Just... Thinking about how I've become a Holy Maiden.: ...Is it tough? Being a Maiden and all?: No, not at all! It's actually pretty fun. If something ever happens, Lady Cloche is there to help me out.: Hmmm. Sounds like it's going well.: Yup! But now that I see it... It's amazing.: ...Huh?: Metafalica, the green land... I see it but I still can't believe it.: ...I know what you mean.: Now that I think about it, it all began here. We created a false Metafalica, and I became the land... You tried so hard to save me that time, too.: That I did...: ...... ...Why?: Huh?: I still regret it. And now that I really like you, I regret it even more. I was using you. I tricked you, you know? So...why did you risk your life to save me after all I've done?: What can I say, I like you...: But I used you. I lied to you...
: When we were in prison and you told me that you used me, something dawned on me.: ...Huh?: That's when I realized I fell in love with you again.: Whaaat!? But, you were so angry... Or...did something naughty come over you?: What do you mean by that?: Well...maybe you discovered how much you like it when people are mean to you.: No no no no no no no!: It's okay, you don't have to hide it. But if that's the case... I'll be sure to treat you very lovingly...: That's...just scary.: ...Hehehe! Just kidding!: Don't do that to me, woman! But seriously, I felt like we had gotten much closer. I think it's because it was the first time you spoke honestly to me. Before that, you were kind of a stranger. I didn't know how to handle certain situations. I think that was the first time we had opened our hearts to each other.: ...Yeah, you're right!: If not for that, I'd still be keeping you at arm's length.: In that case, I guess I made a lucky mistake!: Heh, I guess you'd call it love fortified by discord.: Hehehe. That works, too! ...Croix?: Yeah?: Can I...lie on your lap?: ...Sure, I guess.
: Ahh... It's so... Comfortable...: Ha. You seem like the type who lets people sleep on your lap, but not the other way around.: Well...now that I think about it, I've never really depended on others. I always felt alienated from Mom, and all of my friendships were only skin deep. I never even imagined having a lap to sleep on. I guess I just treated everyone like a pawn.: ......: I shouldn't be revealing my dark side to you, but I feel like I can tell you anything. And now...my feelings toward people have completely changed.: Luca... I've felt hardships...and betrayals...and that's why I acted as I did. But I was never offended by it. I just assumed that's how you were. You always seemed hurt...: ...What?: Whenever I saw you, you looked pained and lonely. I didn't know what to do to help. I figured if I was your boyfriend, I could at least help you blow off some steam.: Croix...: Luca... Am I by your side now?: ......: Am I next to you... Supporting you, protecting you?: ......: Are you reassured? Can you say everything, the truth, what you really want?: ......: That's the kind of relationship I wanna have with you. Where we can be ourselves and be as one.: Thank you...Croix. I always felt alone... I locked myself up in my own lonely prison. But you let me out...: ...Luca.: ...I can say it now. You are a precious person. I could never live without you. Please, Croix... Don't ever leave me alone...: ...That'll never happen.: Always stay with me...: I'll be there for you, all the time...: Hehehe. Thank you. Croix... Let's stay together... Forever and ever...: Aww, that was so cute. Well, now that that's over I'm bored again.: You're bored already????: Well, I don't have anything to do right now. With Metafalica finished my purpose is complete, at least as far as Elemia would be concerned.: Well...
: Disengaging Stealth Mode.: !!!!!
: Hi.
: Hello.: Wh... what were you guys doing here??!!?!?: Returning the D-Cellophane, remember?: So uh you saw...: Oh yes.: Uh....um....I....I was just bored, ok? I'm sorry.: Wow, you're taking this better than I thought. I'm not in a good enough mood to just accept your apology, though.: .... Raki, HELP ME!: Unable to comply. Unit is in direct-command mode.: Elemia Command Directive: Sit down.: Acknowledged, Elemia Control.: Ulp.: Anyway, we're just here to work on your boredom problem. Don't worry, nothing bad will happen.: We jusä¨minf vmhd @ÄÄÄ9hdlrdhlralisappl0xedfaefcd

Loading excerpt- The Melody of Metafalica, L. Trulyworth, C. Pastaila.
When Frelia complained to me about being bored, I knew I had to do something to help her with it. That's where the idea for the Divine Self-Improvement Cooking School came from. Every year, a sample of people from around Meta Falss who are judged to be most in need of help with cooking spend time with Frelia, who uses her extensive knowledge of first-era cooking to help them improve. Sure, it requires that she and Shun taste everything we cook, but that's a small price to pay for the privilege of making life more pleasant. I don't think I'll ever graduate, though!
