[ Monochrome Jiuqing yells at her again, very sure. She has gone through so much pain—she has followed you through your journey. She shared it with you.
The next scene would be how she couldn't save Itsuki. She couldn't comfort him enough... And he would turn into a monster that kills innocents in the Vault. In this scene, the people there are from the Prism, innocent and looking for refuge—then her own transformation.
She kills the rest. ]
We... Don't want to be a monster anymore.
[ But another voice gives comfort, the warmth offered ushers her to not lose sight of hope.
"... something to remember. That we are not alone." ]

[she never wanted to be here at all. she doesn't want to be alone, in the darkness, the silence - she wants to be with the people she cares about. they're stronger together.
we are not alone.
tears form in the corners of her eyes, and she grits her teeth.]
Where we belong is by their side. They'll... they'll understand. Send me back. Send me back right now!

[ The copy falters with tears welling in her eyes, shaking in her resolve. Desperately, this copy doesn't want to be blamed for crimes Jiuqing didn't commit. This copy doesn't want them to be seen as a monster.
The dragon trials unlock again, this time Percival accusing Jiuqing for murdering Chang Geng. Everyone looks at her with disgust—this copy doesn't want that. ]
They will see us as a monster.
[ This is a weak, but sorrowfully sad statement. There is cracks in it, like it wants to be reassured, but is too scared.
And the void glitches, it would show all of the sad and gruesome moments in Jiuqing's lives, including here in the Prism.
But another voice continues to push her: "You're a shining star. Wherever you go, you'll shine bright. I'll be behind you all the way." ]

[jiuqing is - trying to convince this copy of herself as well as herself, but she latches onto that voice, that hope.]
We have to trust them. I know it's hard. I know that, but I want to, and - you do too, don't you? If you're me, I know you do!
Send us back!

This black void—it blooms with flowers. ]
... We want to believe.
[ This Jiuqing closes her eyes, then slowly disappears. In this test of wills, Jiuqing overcame her despair. ]
