Mhmmmm... Hm? Did you say something? No, I'm not ignoring you. I'm just... thinking of something else.

I... I've always been alone, so I'm not good at making conversation. It did cause much trouble when my travels began. Some people feared me, one even conned me out of my luggage. Things were difficult, but not entirely hopeless. As long as I have my staff, I can work, so I won't go hungry for too long.

Life in the lighthouse was hardly dull. The seas are always changing. However, my teacher said that only by seeing more of this land, could I guard a small corner of the seaside. She then drove me out of the lighthouse. That's how I made my way here.

Blue Poison gave me a new pair of gloves. Pretty, aren't they? She also said the material is modified. Now it can better prevent poisoning from accidental touches. Actually, It happens so often when I'm around my poison-wielding friends... I feel that I may have built up an immunity.

I used to gaze into the sea every night. No one in town knew what we were seeking or guarding, and my teacher never told me. All I know is that, where there is darkness, there must be a lighthouse. I will stay watching, until that day comes.

The light you just saw… Some call it Originium Arts, but my teacher says it's the power from our hearts. With light to guide them, even those who sail in the foggiest nights will brave the raging tides and find their way to shore. That is why I will do my best to protect this light.

My tail has a beautiful color? Mhm, thank you very much. You may touch it if you want. Despite the color, it's not poisonous.

Could you hold my staff for me, Doctor? My hair's getting too long. I want to arrange it before it gets tangled up. It might take a while, but I'll be able to better support you on the battlefield.

I'm starting to realize that people can be like lighthouses… Some can even shine farther and brighter than any of them... like you, Doctor. Would it be okay if I stay beside you for a little longer before I go back?

You don't need me to keep watch while you sleep? Yes? You want me to take a nap, too? I-I'll try...

Hello, Doctor. My name is Aria… Uh, sorry, I mean Indigo. I used to be a lighthouse keeper... Um, apprentice. Now my position is a Caster, but... also an apprentice. I really look forward to learning from you.

Are these techniques for fending off enemies? My teacher taught me a little, but I didn't know you could do this.

What…? A promotion? A lighthouse needs only one keeper. Is that... not the case here?

I can do even more…? Indeed… my light shines even farther now... Thank you, Doctor. I will keep doing all I can.

Indigo at the ready.

Very well... I'll keep this light up. Please be careful not to wander off.

Follow the light, please.

If you insist on stopping us, then we have no choice but to defeat all of you.

I'm all ready.

The seas are roaring.

My staff's getting warmer.

The light grows.

These enemies do not compare to the seas' ferocity.

I shall stand guard, until daybreak.

The fear for light, comes only from the evil within.

If you wish to flee, then follow this light.

With such power, perhaps we won't need to fear the arrival of that day…?

Thank goodness. Another night of calm sea.

S-Some enemies got away? I see. We must alert everyone.

Doctor, this way... Don't be afraid. It doesn't matter how dark the path up ahead is, I'll light it for you.

It's okay. I'll be fine by myself.

Oh... Doctor, you're tangled in my hair. Please be careful; tripping and falling can be painful.

Would you like to stay here with me...? You know... The night watch won't be as dull with company.

Arknights.

To the ocean, every day is the same with its ebbs and flows. As its watcher, I feel the same. I read that the ocean used to be gorgeous at night, with moonlit waves that danced as if wearing silvery capes. It's a pity we can't see that anymore. If we could go back in time, Doctor, I would love to see it with you.

Doctor, would you like the light to be brighter?

When my teacher sent me away, I couldn't see why. She had taught me everything she knew, yet she still said I wasn't ready. It only became clear after I came to Rhodes Island. Anyone can guard the lighthouse, but to face all that follows once the light is lit requires great knowledge of this land.
