AI: The Somnium Files Wiki
Story

PSYNCIN' IN THE PaiN is a dreamworld featured in AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES, AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES DEMO, and the Lemniscate YouTube series, based on Bloom Park.

It is the fourth chapter of the game and the second Somnium in the game's storyline. It is a Somnium world created from Mizuki Okiura's dream by the Psync System. ABIS investigated her Somnium in order to investigate the murder of Shoko Nadami and heal Mizuki's aphonia.

It was featured in the Lemniscate vlog videos when A-set visited the ABIS Office and was allowed to dive into the Psync machine.

Summary image 017

The distorted Bloom Park in the Somnium world.

After Aiba made her entrance, she explained the new feature Pewter added to the Psync System—the ability to slow time to a crawl while standing still. Date remarked that it seemed to be a useful feature, and the two began to work towards breaking Mizuki's Mental Locks. After breaking the first Mental Lock by creating a lightning rod, Aiba explained the ability of TIMIEs to slow down or speed up time in Somnium.

Inside the control room, Aiba found two bird cages, one with a torn up family photo at the bottom, and the other holding balloons.

Branch A: Removed the cage.[]

Aiba lifted the cage on the left to reveal a torn up photograph. Putting the pieces back together revealed it was a photo of a young Mizuki with her parents. After Aiba returned to the exterior of the merry-go-round, Date recalled seeing the photograph before. Mizuki had torn it up and thrown it in the trash, but seemed to regret doing so. By repairing the photo, Date may have helped her.

Branch A: Hugged Mizuki.[]

Aiba managed to slow down the merry-go-round, revealing Mizuki in the center. As Aiba hugged her, Mizuki cried, and a set of footprints appeared, leading to a mysterious blue figure standing in the grass.

Branch B: Blew away the cage.[]

Aiba lifted the cage on the right, causing the balloons to float away, leaving a single deflated balloon behind. Blowing it up allowed Aiba to return to the exterior of the merry-go-round, where Date recalled a story Mizuki had told him. Shoko bought her balloons, but when Mizuki accidentally let go of them, she scolded her for hours. Date realized that the balloons were in the birdcage so she would not lose them again, and by releasing them, he had reopened that mental wound.

Branch B: Healed Mizuki with Shoko's voice.[]

Aiba managed to fling the merry-go-round high into the air, revealing Iris's frozen corpse (actually the corpse is Manaka Iwai, Iris's true mother). She appeared to have been stabbed in the back repeatedly, and her right eye was missing. At the same time, a memory of Shoko's abuse of Mizuki played over the speakers.

When the merry-go-round landed on the ground, it had stopped spinning. Aiba used the speakers to speak kindly to Mizuki in her mother's voice. As the six minute time limit approached, Date heard a cell phone ringing, but the source of the sound could not be identified.

Name[]

  • The name "PSYNCIN' IN THE PaiN" refers to Mizuki's mental pain at discovering her mother's corpse, which is the pain that Date and Aiba seek to heal in this Somnium.
  • The name of the Somnium's achievement, "PaiN: Mother, Blood, and Secrets", means that this Somnium is related to the death of Shoko Nadami, which traumatized Mizuki; and Saito's odd movement that Mizuki felt when she was in Bloom Park, or the memory she kept in her heart about seeing Manaka Iwai's dead body.
