Help for the True Ending
We are aware that the 2nd part of the puzzle to get true ending is difficult to decipher because the text fades too fast to read all of it properly. So here are all the in game quotes in order.
1. "i want to give up... i must PRESS on..."
2. "i need to go BACK to the idol SPACE"
3. "why am i still ON this stage? every ARIA sounds the same now. empty. hollow."
4. "It was so poiNTless afteR all...  i can't dO this anymore"
5. "i don’t know who i am anymore... thiS is just a Cruel Routine. i don’t Even rEalize when it's Night or day..."
