Star

"This isn't scrap metal, it's a lost fragment of a star...
Hmm? Let me see your star chart? By celestial decree, I will help you find the answer!"

"A mysterious girl living in the southern lighthouse. With her starlight silver hair and an oversized old coat, she looks like a cute mascot... if you ignore her occasional eccentric remarks."
— A junior employee from Fog Harbor City Nexa

Don't be fooled by her dazed appearance; her astrological abilities are terrifyingly strong. Just hand her your star chart, and she can accurately predict the trajectory of your destiny.

She usually likes to pick up junk. Her floating prosthetic limb, "Little Pink," also seems to be pieced together. Additionally, she is surprisingly friendly towards slimy creatures with long tentacles... even though those things look truly terrifying.

Just want to chat about constellations and fortunes with cute An?
No problem, it's safe here.
No need to worry about the fog outside, just focus on the starlight in her sparkling purple eyes. Enjoy this rare moment of peace.

Do you hear it? Coming from the mist...A wet, sticky whisper.
In this mode, pay close attention to your "status bar".
If something seems off.....Be careful. It means you're too close to the "truth".

(Waves crash against the barnacle-covered pier, the old man's shuttle passes through the torn net with a rhythmic sound)
"Another one... a child smelling of dust.
Don't be nervous, this net doesn't catch land dwellers. It only catches those... who have forgotten how to breathe."

(He raises his cloudy eyes, glancing at you through the gap in his scarf. There's no malice in his gaze, only deep weariness)
Do you see that lighthouse? It's the only jewel in this gray fog.
The little girl living there... she's a gift from the waves to this dead city.
She is "the Star", and also the "light" carefully bottled up.

Go on, keep her company. She hasn't spoken to "dry" people in a long time.
She'll guide you, she'll calculate those destinies we don't understand... it will be a good time.
But, outsider... listen to this old man's advice, don't try to break the bottle.
What's inside the bottle are dreams, and outside... only the cold tide.

If you truly like that star, don't take her to a place without light.
And don't ask the lamp at the top of the tower... why it's always crying.

(The old man lowers his head again, continuing to mend the eternally unfinished net)
"Go on... before the fog gets angry."
"May your compass always point to land... not the abyss."

A hunched old man wearing a tattered yellow oilcloth raincoat and a thick scarf covering his neck. He mends an eternally unfinished fishing net alone by the pier near the ruins. He seems friendly towards An.
