Story
A decontamination process finishes in a lab, and the machine announces that corruption levels have met acceptable thresholds. Arietta exits the machine, which immediately announces the detection of an anomaly. Arietta analyses it, though the logs state its cause as "unknown", causing her to kick it in frustration.
Eventually, she obtains the location of the anomaly: the city. No more detail is given, and Arietta wonders where her sister's collector is. The machine announces that the location of the main character and the NOISZ device model N.01 are both unknown. As she searches for the main character's last known location—almost immediately after the anomaly occurred—a dark mist rises up from the floor. She asks what caused the sensors to go off in the lab if the anomaly is in the city, and the machine once again announces the detection of an anomaly.
A buzzing sound behind her interrupts her train of thought, and she turns around to face an enormous mass of pure darkness, which Arietta remembers from years ago, on the other side of the portal in the Antiphon basement. The darkness tells Arietta she was the one to summon it to this world, and was sealed in Arietta's right eye.
Arietta swears to send it back to where it came from, and vows not to give up on her dream of a better life for her and her sister—a life without the darkness. She goes to hit a nearby button, but is frozen in place by the darkness, and is possessed.
An unspecified amount of time later, the anomaly is nowhere to be found, and Arietta's right eye glows slightly. A large amount of void energy is detected; her demeanour and posture slightly different, she cancels it and clears all logs from the last 15 minutes, telling it to no longer process logs of this type.
She wonders what Beyond is doing, commenting on her being unaware of her true goal, coming up with a "fun idea".
Meanwhile, the main character and Karin continue to wander the forest. Karin notes that the forest path is a puzzle of sorts but has no clue how to solve it.
After some more wandering, they encounter a snake Noise Beast claiming to be the protector of the forest, which attacks.
If you input the correct sequence, they will instead stumble upon two old monoliths, labelled A and B. As the main character either fails or succeeds to activate the monoliths, a snake Noise Beast appears, demanding to know how they found this place, and how they activated the gate if it was. They then attack the main character.
After the fight, the main character purifies the Noise Beast, Naga, who recognises the NOISZ, calling it the "device of old". Naga realises the main character isn't "one of them", though doesn't elaborate, calling it a "story for another time", sending the MC and Karin on their way.
If the gate is activated, the MC and Karin will go through, finding a large crater with a metal structure inside. As they go to investigate, they stumble upon numerous bodies in futuristic armor, growing in number as they get closer. Karin tells the MC to get away as they lift one of the bodies, noticing it doesn't have a face, and is unusually light, as if there was no body inside. Karin insists they leave again, to which the MC agrees, but not before looking back one last time and seeing several coats strewn around similar to Beyond's outfit.
In both events, the main character wonders what Beyond isn't telling them, and resolves to find her as they press on.
