Xenogears | E3: Unwashed Masses [Into the Woods + Girl in Forest + Silent Break]

Hello! Episode three consists entirely of rich narrative content experienced in Blackmoon Forest. We meet Elehayym Van Houten, a forest elf, a large boulder, and the Rankar Dragon. The trio of Fei, Elly, and Citan engage in self-doubt and determination around two (2) campfire sequences. A youthful reliance on Citan has, in our adult brains, transformed into supreme distrust. Does one really need the power to destroy everything? Could power possibly not corrupt a human soul, just this once?
