With information from the Shepherd, Louis, Yersinia, and Laughing Boy arrive in Memoria in search of another crystal shard. Here, he claims, is the piece that will bind Loci's memories back to the Fate crystal... thus preventing another Laughing Boy.
"This place is... shiny." Mutters Yersinia as she looks around from their just beyond the portal.
Louis walks forward, careful where he steps as the stone ground appears to be brittle and near collapsing. "This must be the place. Laughing Boy, run on ahead and clear out any possible trouble."
LB grunts and trots off, winding his way up a narrow path.
"Louis." Yersinia calls. "This place, this place makes me feel uneasy. Can we make this quick?"
Louis nods to her. "The quicker we are done here the quicker we can revive Loci, so yes. Let us make haste."
The two start walking up the narrow winding path that floats above a purple-pink void below.

As the two wonder further into the strange plain, they come across an unusual sight. They arrive on a balcony like structure that overlook an empty void, an expanse of nothing.
Yersinia stops, her heart racing as she approaches the edge.
"What is it?" Louis says, frustrated by Yersinia's strange behavior.
Yersinia's arm is over her chest, clutching her bicep. Her other hand is covering her mouth in shock.
"Yersinia!" Louis yells as he runs to her, grabbing her arm. "What do you see!?"
She closes her eyes and looks away, waving Louis off. "Nothing, just... nothing. It doesn't matter now. Let us continue."
Yersinia walks off, slow and somber, leaving Louis behind for a moment to inspect the empty plain that caught Yersinia's attention before he catches up to her.

The two now emerge onto a mesh of stone bridges, below them is a scene that looks like Burmacia. It's raining now, in this place out of time. They stop and peer over the edge and watch as a familiar sight unfolds.
There, in the ruins of Burmacia below, emerge Louis and Yersinia, together, from many years ago.
"You see this?" Louis asks, looking towards Yersinia beside him. "No... its the day we came into Loci's service."
The two younger selves are then confronted by Loci, who appears out of the mist, his arm outstretched. An inaudible transaction follows and they reach for his hand... the scene ends.
"The Shepherd said this is a place of memories..." Mutters Yersinia, diverting his gaze away from below. "Let's carry on Louis, Laughing Boy should be just ahead."

Finally, after other strange encounters of the past, Louis and Yersinia arrive at the chamber where the crystal they seek is contained. Already Laughing Boy is there, looking around, waiting for something to arrive.
"Louis, this is it..." Yersinia says in amazement as she approaches the shard.
Louis approaches from behind, placing his hand on her shoulder. "Then take it."
Yersinia reaches out and grabs the shard from the status. Holding it in her hand, she gazes in awe at this most important piece. "It's beautiful... our Lord, our god, with this he will be revived." She turns to Louis, raising the shard towards him to behold. "See it Louis... isn't it magnif- GAH!" Suddenly Yersinia collapses, the shard falling from her hands and rolls to the feet of LB.
"Yersinia!" Louis yells, knelling down to help her up.
"Something... something, in the crystal... its..." She struggles to say. "RAGH!" Her head raises up to the sky, her eyes radiant. She begins to speak unintelligible words in a deep, dark language.
"Nahaam!" Her eyes then roll back into her head and she collapses.
"Yersinia!" Louis taps Yersinia's cheeks, trying to bring her too. "Yersinia! What is happening!?"

Yersinia wakes a few moments later, her brain hurting terribly and body sore. "Louis... what happened?"
"After you touched the crystal, something came over you." He replies.
"Take me home... we got what we came for." She raises her hand to empty space, a rift appearing there.
"As you wish." Louis picks her up, along with the crystal, and takes her through the rift, LB following close behind.
