Story

PSYNCIN' IN THE VILLaiN is a dreamworld featured in AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES.

It is the seventh chapter and the third Somnium of Branch B (Iris Route and Resolution Route). It is a Somnium world that was created from So Sejima's dreams by the Psync SystemABIS investigated this Somnium to gain information about the supposed murder of Iris Sagan.

History[]

After entering Somnium world, Aiba drove a forklift into the Harbor Warehouse District, and then crashed into the container. After leaving the forklift, Aiba and Date observed the surrounding environment and found that things here were seriously distorted: huge wooden boxes, severely deformed warehouses and so on.

More importantly, they discovered that Iris was trying to escape. While wondering why she was here, the two found a purple figure suddenly rushed out and stabbed Iris to death. Aiba tried to break into the scene of the crime, but it was blocked by a purple barrier, and even the killing scene started to loop after it was over. The two then come to the conclusion that what needs to be done is to create a safe escape route for Iris.

Removed the large box.[]

Aiba re-boarded the forklift that she was driving before and took it into the sea together with the attached container, and then found a warp space under the location of the original container. Aiba reached in with her hand and found that it was protruding from the sky and getting much bigger, so she was able to remove the huge wooden box.

Removed the boxes.[]

The removal of the huge crate allowed Iris to move on, but she stopped in front of a large number of crates before being overtaken and killed by the purple figure again. Next Aiba and Date started looking for a way to remove the massive pile of wooden boxes ahead. Aiba found an open warehouse door, entered only to find herself on the other side blocked by shipping containers. There, she found a control panel that may related to the crane, and executed the "GH Raging Combo" on the switch at Date's command. After the intense moves by Aiba, the crane moved and used the hoisted wooden box to knock over all the other wooden boxes piled up in a large number and scattered them around.

Shrunk her body.[]

The removal of crate piles allowed Iris to move on, but she stopped in front of gap between warehouse buildings before being overtaken and killed by the purple figure again. To get Iris through the gap, Aiba went to the area behind the knocked over crate piles, opened a warehouse door, creating another warp space. After it appeared, Iris passed through the warp space and was able to pass through the gap.

Eliminated the threat and made an escape path.[]

After passing through the gap, Iris came to the next area, but was blocked by the wooden box lifted by the crane, and then the previous scene was repeated, so Aiba and Date began to find a way to remove the box. Aiba entered the door she opened just now, and found herself above the door of another warehouse, with a control panel nearby. To operate the crane again, Aiba activated the switch, allowing the crate to be hoisted, creating a third warp space.

Iris being cornered by the purple figure.

Iris and the purple figure returned to the place where they came from through this warp space, and the body proportions were restored to the original, but Iris was cornered again, and she was forced to the edge of the sea. But the difference is that there was no purple barrier blocking Aiba this time. Seeing the purple figure approaching Iris, Aiba jumped into the portal to make her body bigger, and then kicked the purple figure into the sea, allowing Iris to leave here safely. When Date was about to leave Somnium, he still believed that the killer was So Sejima.

Name[]

  • The name "PSYNCIN' IN THE VILLaiN" refers to how So Sejima is mislabeled as the "villain" of this day's story, believed to have been "Iris Sagan's" killer. It could also refer to Saito Sejima, the true identity of the purple figure in this Somnium, and the true villain of the overall story.
  • The name of the Somnium's achievement, "VILLaiN: Evasive Memory", indicates that So Sejima had always been unable to accept the fact that his lover Manaka Iwai was killed by his son 18 years ago, and had always avoided this memory since then, hiding his weakness from being exposed.
