Blooming Reflections Outcomes and Lore
Blooming Reflection Day 1 Outcome
| Reflection I | Blooming Reflection Outcomes |
|---|---|
| Girl with fox ears | A girl with fox ears is good in every way, except for her tendency to drift off into daydreams. She is highly skilled in combat yet often remains in a state of emptiness that she calls "training." What exactly is training? According to her, it's both a resistance to life and an acceptance of it. Through this profound practice, she tirelessly hones her soul |
| Man wearing a red scarf | The red scarf drifting around the man's neck flickers like a wandering flame, much like his own carefree nature. He seems incredibly reliable, effortlessly resolving any crisis that arises. However, being around him can be a bit exhausting - after handling every unexpected incident along the way, he always seeks your praise. Fortunately, a simple, heartfelt compliment is enough to satisfy him... |
| Mysterious rat Thiren | You met by chance, but the woman insists that she was the one who found you - just like retrieving a drifting bamboo basket from the shore, with you as the infant nestled inside. She always carries an air of lighthearted detachment, as if nothing truly matters to her, until the moment you find yourself in danger, revealing a side of her far more serious than you had imagined. |
Blooming Reflection Day 2 Outcome
| Reflection II | Blooming Reflection Outcomes |
|---|---|
| The first crossroad | The road stretches ahead, but before long, you encounter an obstacle. A woman wielding a flamethrower-like device is selling something she calls Nitro-Fuel. In order to obtain information about the treasure mine, you have no choice but to strike a deal with her and drink the peculiar concoction. Sweet yet slightly bitter, carrying a lonely yet gentle aroma, its taste sends an electrifying shiver through you... To your surprise, it's actually quite good. |
| The second crossroad | The road stretches ahead, but it isn't long before you encounter an obstacle. With crimson eyes and fluffy fur... you've come across a somewhat dangerous-looking wolf Thiren. Just as your companion steps in front, trying to protect you, he takes the initiative to show goodwill, easing your suspicions. As you sip the tea he prepared, you can't help but marvel at how luxurious the life of a wealthy household must be. |
| The third crossroad | The road stretches ahead, but it isn't long before you encounter an obstacle. A handsome young man with golden hair leans against a tree, casually fiddling with a coin in his hand. Upon seeing you, he kindly steps forward to strike up a conversation, but your companion cautiously intervenes, keeping him at a distance. After he leaves, you realize something seems to have appeared in your hand. Opening your palm, you find the very coin he was playing with... |
Blooming Reflection Day 3 Outcome
| Reflection III | Blooming Reflection Outcomes |
|---|---|
| A woman floating in the air | She seems to be cooking a bizarre dish and enthusiastically invites you and your companion to try it. You take one look at the writhing, bubbling contents of the pot and politely decline. However, she regretfully informs you that if you don't want to eat her cooking, there's no other food available. Wait... is she the cook here? Looks like your stomach is in for some trouble.... |
| A man feigning illness to slack off | The young man leans lazily against the counter, lifting a hand in a half-hearted welcome as you enter. No cook, no servers - this inn is even more rundown than it looks. While grumbling about his aching back, sore legs, and scratchy throat, he informs you that this is the only inn within a ten-mile radius. Seeing that you plan to stay, he flashes a surprisingly sincere smile and casually asks if you wouldn't mind helping to patch up the drafty window. |
| Tough-looking bear | Just as you and your companion hesitate to approach, the large bear gives a shy smile, steps forward, and takes your dusty packs to settle you into your lodgings. Not only that, but he has also prepared a hearty meal and steaming hot bathwater. As the rising steam soothes your weariness, you sigh in relief, your exhaustion melting away. A twinge of guilt creeps in - you had judged him by his appearance, but his thoughtful hospitality speaks for itself. |
Blooming Reflection Day 4 Outcome
| Reflection IV | Blooming Reflection Outcomes |
|---|---|
| There are no other guests in the inn | That's right... There's no one else. The inn remains unsettlingly silent, with only the sounds of you and your companion breaking the Hollow's silence. Even in such a remote wilderness, it shouldn't be completely devoid of life... should it? |
| The innkeeper is constantly eating | Yes... The more you think about it, the more unsettling it feels! Throughout your time with the innkeeper yesterday, his mouth was constantly chewing on something, barely stopping for even a moment. Sure, meals should be savored, but for two whole hours? ...There's definitely something suspicious going on!. |
| The floor is spotless | Yes, yes... This is way too strange. Does the innkeeper not shed any hair? That's absolutely impossible! No living creature is completely free from hair loss! If such a thing existed, it would've been snatched up for hair-loss shampoo research already. |
