Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Part 31: Eunie's Panic Attack
5Going even further through Rae-Bel Tableland, which is the upper region of Ribbi Flats, Ouroboros are met with a battlefield void of life and plantlife.
This land was covered in corpses of fallen soldiers and scraps of different Ferronis machinery. Ouroboros decides to scavenge for material they can reuse.
Eunie didn't agree on this, because it looked like this battle had finished a long time ago.
But then... she spotted something very eerie... very... familiar...
She found a corpse of a Kevesi solider. The solider looked to be a girl with wings on her head like herself... And then she observed the corpse's dog tag...
This was a solider from Colony 18. One that was trained in the Sharpshooter class...
And her name was... It was...
EUNIE?!
Suddenly, Eunie had a flashback that she was somehow fighting for this Colony 18 as said Sharpshooter. This Colony was ravaged by a Moebius. Not just any Moebius, but the very same one that Ouroboros first met when they gained their powers.
The last thing Eunie saw was this Moebius preparing to drive his claw through her skull...
Eunie panicked. Somehow she died, but how could she remember that she died when she's right there?! How are there two of her?!
Lanz talking to Eunie calmed her down, but it was also because she could bare to tell Lanz what she just realized about herself. She believed to herself that this "dead Eunie" was just a coincidence...
----------
Ouroboros eventually stumbled across a destroyed Golden Rank Kevesi Flame Clock, with Golden Rank being the higher Rank any Colony on Aionios could ever achieve. How could such a prestige Colony be eliminated like this, and how did this happen without any Agnian forces involved? At this point, Eunie probably knew the answer already.
They are then suddenly attack by an Agnian sentry Levnis, though this didn't look like it was involved with the battlefield's damage.
----------
After beating this Levnis, Sena and Taion recognized it as one that came from Colony Lambada, the Colony Taion originated from. He devised that from the Levnis's sentry aspects that Lambada had already tracked what Ouroboros were doing and will continue monitoring their progress.
Ouroboros decided to continue their journey.
Poor Eunie... She was still shaking in her arms trying to process that corpse she found... of who was possibly herself. Only Taion had noticed that something was off about her, but she didn't have the strength to tell him...
----------
ALL OF THAT SAID, it is quite the whiplash to see Eunie like this in these cutscenes, but then you go back to gameplay and she's back to her usual spunky self again.
Still, keep in mind of this creepy moment she has with herself.
----------
Eventually, further through the Rae-Bel Tableland, Taion announces to the team that they have now entered into his Colony Lambada's territory, which means they are all more susceptible to Agnian attacks. He decides they should rest at a nearby campfire to prepare themselves for the inevitable battles ahead.
