meanwhile, we get a good old sequence of Dorothy wasting film

she meets Kevin and tells him some impossible goofy stories about how she went on an assignment in the next town and ended up in the other side of the continent

Kevin to Nial: "nothing of interest is gonna happen". yeah right

oh hey it's Tita's mother! And she seems like an interesting person

oh wow ok she hates Agate. What did he do, despite looking like bad company?

Tita's mom hates ancient artifacts because they work but no one knows how, which bothers her as a scientist. Hmm, I've seen a similar thing in Gunnerkrigg Court. Overly rational people bothered by things that can't be understood

Tita's mom is basically Maes Hughes and I'm all for it

We are introduced to Sister Ries, the game's deuteragonist, apparenly

she takes zero bullshit whatsoever. I think I'm going to like this duo's dynamic

we get a whole legal dispute about who owns an artifact, which is rendered moot because the artifact suddenly activates, which makes it the churh's property. I suspect the dispute was written just to estabilish Ries's character to the player

which is that she doens't care about the law says as long as she is working for the Goddess

while Kevin is the one with the super empathy skills so he is trying to balance out everyone's interests and not be a dick

oooooh the two have a past

I just realized Big Eater was an anime archetype this series didn't quite have yet and now Ries is here to fit it like a glove

I think I'm going to enjoy this character a lot

it's our friend, the Cuck! Yes Ries, you can do whatever you want with him. Campanella would approve.

do not taunt a nun who fights with a massive medieval sword

we get a gameplay demonstration. Ries is a good melee who lacks a great offensive craft, but has a broken healing one

someone who very much looks like an anime villain shows up. Enforcer, I guess

we are sucked into another dimension, and the game finally lets me save after the longest series of cutscenes ever. Like, the entire Prologue was just one massive scripted sequence with no save points in between. It was fun but I wanted to just be able to take a break in the middle.
