Adam awoke into the cutscene where he was driving the horse-drawn carriage through the gate of the Elphin Sanctuary’s stone wall. His mind sort of just glazed over as his body was puppeteered through the motions.

When he blinked, he was placed at the bottom of the ritual site in the centre of the city. In front of him was Belamouranthe’s mother, the Elphin Queen, holding her by the hand. Her golden hair and lithe figure didn’t seem as beautiful to him as the first time he’d laid eyes on her, and even her ephemeral silver dress and brightly-glowing eyes didn’t make him view her as anything other than a selfish monster.

I need to remember to give Bel the necklace at the right time, he reminded himself.

Adam’s mind once again glazed over as things repeated themselves just like in past loops. He found the cutscenes to be the worst part of repeating Stages, because it was an unnatural feeling to be moved through events and forced to say things, when all he wanted was to run towards the nearest enemy.

Finally, one of the Elphin men came running down the steps into the pit where they were gathered.
