I don't know why, but I just love Elly's house. Xenogears is a game where you're always running from crisis to crisis. Everything is so dramatic. We're on the run, yet again, being chased by drones as we run through a sewer after sneaking into a country that we found by blowing up a bunch of [Gates] across the surface. And we come out of a sewer and bam, we're at Elly's house, a place that I just never expected to be at.

The Treasure Which Cannot Be Stolen does a lot of work here in setting a tone, and then you just hang out in Elly's room for a minute and take a shower. It's unlike anything else certainly a Solaris, and really throughout the rest of the game as well - just a moment to breathe. Nothing particularly cool happens here -- unless you're really into naked sprites -- but it just feels nice.
