Sirrus: Achenar, you ...
[Sirrus looks up, and sees that you are not Achenar.]
Sirrus: It's you! You've come to rescue me!
Over there there's a lever that'll set me free. Hurry up before Achenar comes back.
[Pause]
What are you waiting for? He'll kill us!
Move!

Sirrus: Where are you going? Come back here! Please!
[When you return...]
Sirrus: Why are you torturing me? The lever ... move before Achenar comes back.

[Achenar enters the chamber, carrying the lifestone and a mini-crossbow.]
Achenar: No! Stop! This is not Yeesha!
Sirrus: What?
Achenar: Sirrus used the machine. He forced the Memory Chamber to remove all of her memories!
Sirrus: Liar!
Achenar: This is Sirrus, I tell you!
Sirrus: This is crazy! He killed Sirrus when he tried to save me.
Achenar: Seriously, do you think I'd kill my own brother?
Sirrus: Yes!
Achenar: No. He removed Yeesha's memories, and then he used the machine to plant his own memories inside her head.
Sirrus: What?
Achenar: This is Sirrus, I tell you!
Sirrus: Look, he's got the lifestone. Serenia's Memory Chamber can't survive without the life ...
Achenar: Shut up!
[Achenar brandishes crossbow at Sirrus.]
Sirrus: But, I'm your little sister.
[Achenar points crossbow at you.]
Achenar: He's just playing games with you.
Sirrus: See, he's a killer!
Achenar: No. NO!
[Achenar holsters the crossbow.]
Achenar: I told you already, I only stole this to keep Sirrus from hurting Father, but I was wrong. He was after Yeesha all along!
Sirrus: No! He's the one who kidnapped me, not Sirrus!
Achenar: Look, we have to set everybody's memories back right again. The amber lever. Turn the amber lever to begin the process.
Sirrus: No, you'll kill me if you do that!
Achenar: Hurry! Before the Memory Chamber gets too weak to power the transfer!
Sirrus: Don't listen to him!
[View swings down to two levers]

Sirrus: No!
Achenar: Trust me, use the amber lever.
Sirrus: No, you'll kill me! Use the silver one, now!
Achenar: Amber!
Sirrus: The silver one!
[View swings back to levers]

Sirrus: No.
Achenar: You really have to trust me. This is not my little sister, and we're running out of ...
[Sirrus grabs Achenar's crossbow from his holster. He shoots Achenar in the back.]
Achenar: Sirrus ...
Sirrus: Never could control yourself, could you, dear brother?
Unfortunately, he proved to be more intelligent than I anticipated.
No matter. I won't insult you by demanding that you let me go now. I'm sure Father will be along soon. Having one more dead body around will only make my performance as Yeesha that much more convincing. At least until he finishes teaching me the Art.
[Sirrus shoots you with the crossbow.]
[End of Game. Screen fades to black.]

[Sirrus is freed from the chair, and runs to a rope hanging at the side of the chamber.]
Achenar: Noooo!
[Sirrus pulls the rope, and the Dream stone falls from above, knocking you unconscious. Your vision returns, and you see Sirrus bending over you.]
Sirrus: Coming around? I wish I could say the same for my poor, dear brother. But I guess getting crushed twice in one day was just too much for him.
Thank you so much for believing in me. I wasn't sure my little Yeesha act would fool anyone. But now I'm sure it'll convince Mother and Father, at least long enough for them to teach me everything they know about the Art.
[Sirrus shoots you with the crossbow.]
[End of Game. Screen fades to black.]

Sirrus: No, you fool, my performance was perfect!
Achenar: Thank you.
Sirrus: You may have won this round, brother, but it's not over.
[Sirrus falls back, unconscious, as his memories are removed from Yeesha's body.]
Achenar: No! Sirrus! Don't!
[Achenar examines Yeesha.]
Something has gone wrong.
[Achenar turns to use a control panel.]
Yeesha's memories are not coming back again.
[Achenar backs away from the control panel.]
There's got to be some way that I can reach her. If only I had a ...
[The Memory Chamber begins to tremble violently.]
No. Not now. Not now! The Memory Chamber can't fail now!
[Achenar looks at the lifestone, then approaches you.]
Listen to me. The Memory Chamber is dying. And if it dies, it'll stop the transfer, and I don't know what that will do to Yeesha's mind.
I can keep the Chamber alive using the stone, but you have got to find a way to reach her. Go to the Dream World and try and find a way of getting through to her memories. It's the only chance we have.
Use the other chair, but hurry. I don't know how much time we'll have after I use the stone.
[Achenar leaves the room.]

[Look through the window in the hatch to the heart chamber. Achenar breaks the glass dome over the pistil to insert the lifestone, gasping as the fumes are released.]
Achenar: Go! You must save Yeesha!
[The window of the hatch fogs, and you can no longer see what's happening.]

[Exit the Dream chair. Achenar is kneeling before Yeesha, gasping.]
Achenar: We did it.
[Achenar rises and approaches you.]
The transfer worked. You saved Yeesha.
[Achenar coughs, looking very ill.]
Don't look so surprised. The lifestone had to be inserted directly into the shrine. Otherwise it wouldn't've worked. The only way to do that was to break the glass that contained the gasses.
[Chuckling] 'Course, that made it kind of lethal.
Better this way. All the things I did ...
[Yeesha awakens. Achenar addresses her.]
It's okay. Sirrus is dead. It's over. Everythings going to be okay, little sis. It's going to be okay. It'll be okay.
[Achenar kneels and places his head in Yeesha's lap, dying as she strokes his hair, looking confused.]
