Some time after Stelle and the others were knocked out by Sampo's smoke bomb, Stelle began to have another vision involving Cocolia.
Young Cocolia: ...They will suffer, sacrifice, and die because of my order
Voice of the Stellaron: It is not death which greets them... They will be swept into the infancy of a new world
Young Cocolia: What about the Underworlders? They will lose the protection of the Architects. They will see me... as a tyrant
Voice of the Stellaron: You have witnessed... the world we have promised. A temporary misunderstanding... for an eternity of prosperity. We will honor... your decision
Young Cocolia: ...I understand
As the vision comes to an end, Stelle begins to slowly open her eyes while at the same time she can hear the voices of a man and a woman.
???: Come on, those toys of yours aren't that dangerous
Sampo: Uh, then why hasn't she woken up yet?
The woman looks towards Stelle
???: Because she's sound asleep — didn't you hear her sleep talking? ...Poor child, sounded like a bad nightmare
She then turns back to Sampo with a serious expression
???: Tell me the truth Sampo — what are you gonna do about the Overworld girl?
Sampo: What am I gonna do about her? Why, wait for the opportunity and send her back together with the rest of them of course, I... Hey come on, what's with the—
The woman shook her head at him
???: You're a bad liar, Sampo Koski
Sampo was slightly taken aback
Sampo: Wha— ...I didn't mean to bring her along! The smoke was too dense, I was in a daze! Before I knew it, I'd somehow dragged her down here too
???: What are you up to, Sampo? Why do you insist on getting caught up in Overworld affairs that have nothing to do with you? If it's a whole lot more attention from Wildfire you want, you're going about it the right way
Sampo gave her his usual smile
Sampo: Hey now! Sampo Koski's primary concern is taking care of his friends. These guys scratched my back. How could I live with myself if I didn't scratch theirs?
Sampo: And another thing! Where does Wildfire get off... assuming that these fine folks won't come in useful to them, huh? I mean, you never know
The woman crosses her arms while giving Sampo a skeptical look
???: Which is why you set them loose in the underground
Sampo didn't give much of a reaction to this
Sampo: Come on, accidents happen! I'll have them rounded up in no time
The woman sighed at this
???: That girl... get her back as soon as possible, then don't let her out of your sight. The underground has been sealed off for over ten years now — the children won't even remember what overgrounders look like. If a girl in a Silvermane Guard uniform suddenly shows up...
She paused for a moment
???: ...what would Wildfire do with her? What would they do with you?
