Ayla: Brilliance I
>Strange sounds can be heard all day and night, making it difficult to sleep.
Following the source of the sound, you find a dormitory that appears to have been retrofitted into a studio.
A person is inside working busily beside the bed.
Oh, it's you, Commandant. What's up?
What does it look like?
The desktop is covered with what appears to be building blocks...
Upon closer inspection, the blocks appear to be arranged in a frame resembling a question mark.
I'm creating a puzzle.
It's the latest work I'm going to show.
It's something that was referred to as "installation art" during the Golden Age.
The point of this piece is to raise "questions" for the viewers.
It's an art piece... designed to raise "questions" for the viewers.
Yes, it was a type of artwork during the Golden Age.
Using an "installation" to propose "puzzles" and "views" for the audience is an important form of expression.
So, Commandant, do you know how to solve this puzzle?
Aside from the "question mark," it just looks like a bunch of strangely-shaped blocks...
...?
Looking more closely, you see some peculiar blocks among the others.
Maybe because you frequently have to link your consciousness with others in battle, you seem to be more acutely attuned to the shape of signals.
The shape of the blocks appears to match the question mark.
Or rather, be inserted into it...
After rotating the blocks a few times, blocks along the bend of the question mark appear to fit together.
...!
Maneuvering the blocks once more, you turn the question mark into an exclamation mark.
Well, you really are worthy of being a commandant...
I was thinking of saving the answer for the exhibit...
