MIO’s adventure will not be solitary; she will encounter key characters along the way. Among them is Capucine, a historian who serves as MIO’s guide. Currently missing within the Vessel, it’s your task to locate her. Additionally, Mel, the mechanic, operates from the workshop and will assist MIO in gathering vital components for her journey. Lastly, the enigmatic Shi, an overseer, possesses a watchful eye throughout the Vessel and can share vital insights with MIO once you help him restore the nexus.
