This is the seventeenth chapter of the game Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.

Introduction[]

The upended submarine continues to sink, slowly but surely... A long, long journey to the bottom of the sea.

Lynne and the little lady found the darkness and the salt water closing in on them. But at the very last second, "something" saved them. Now it looks down at them quietly.

My head is filled with one giant question: What in the world is this thing?

Plot[]

Lynne and Kamila are lying in the overturned Yonoa with some kind of monster made of trash. It had just saved the two from a damp demise. The monster rearranges itself into a more humanoid form, looking somewhat similar to "Sissel", then starts talking to Lynne. Lynne realizes it is “Sissel”, who has lost his body.

“Sissel” then asks the real Sissel if he was the one saving Lynne this whole time, apparently he already knew about him. Lynne asked why he saved them if he wanted revenge this whole time. “Sissel” doesn’t respond. Sissel realizes that he isn’t the person he thought he was, so his form becomes a soul with sunglasses. He then asks who “Sissel” is. “Sissel” states that his name isn’t actually “Sissel”, and Sissel will soon remember who he is, and who “Sissel” really is.

“Sissel” then admits to being fooled by the blue-skinned people. They had figured out the source of his powers - the Temsik fragment - and stole it while he wasn’t in his body. “Sissel” states the fragment has two effects on living things: power and time. “Sissel” states that he wanted revenge on the people that stole “our” lives. He doesn't explain why he said “our”.

He goes on to explain how the meteorite’s radiation works. The radiation gives spirits special powers, and everyone gets different abilities that change over time. At first, “Sissel” could only manipulate small living creatures.

A spirit is only given powers if it dies while exposed to Temsik radiation. This is how “Sissel” and Missile got their powers. “Sissel” goes on to explain the radiation's effect on time, stating it’s centered around the theme of death, like how Sissel and Missile can go 4 minutes before someone’s death. “Sissel” says this power makes his existence a “contradiction”: as long as his body has the fragment inside of it, his body cycles between life and death, akin to his body stopping in time. This is why his body’s autopsy failed.

“Sissel” made the blue people promise to cooperate with him for a deal, of which he fulfilled his end. He didn’t know they had their own reason to cooperate, which was to wipe out everyone who had to do with Temsik- including him. They stole the Temsik fragment lodged in his body, and now he's stuck in the submarine.

“Sissel” goes on to admit he manipulated Lynne into shooting his corpse. At that time, he told her how he was the one to kidnap her 10 years ago. When manipulating her, Lynne fought back, missing the first shot. But “Sissel” was able to hit the mark on the second try. The plan was to get her arrested for murder, but the blue-skinned people had other ideas. They just wanted her taken out, which is why Jeego was there to kill her. Before this could happen, Sissel came into play. “Sissel” was meant to meet up with the blue people after that happened, but his body was taken by Cabanela before he could do that.

The blue people wanted Lynne dead, even though she never even heard of the Temsik meteorite. This is because she was looking into Jowd’s case, and they figured she would find out.

After this conversation, Lynne says how she now relates to how “Sissel” felt these past 10 years, feeling cut off from the world, “Sinking slowly toward the bottom of an endless sea…”

Kamila wakes up, frightened by being stuck in the submarine. She says if her dad was there, he would save them. Lynne cries out in apology to Kamila.

Sissel is confused on why Commander Sith decided to jettison “Sissel’s” body into the sea, as they could have just taken the fragment and fled. “Sissel” says it doesn’t matter, as they don’t know where it was launched to.

Lynne objects to this, as the present Cabanela gave to Jowd can track where “Sissel’s” body is. The group decides to shoot a torpedo with Missile and Sissel inside to where “Sissel’s” body and a now dead Jowd are.

The two board the sinking room, and Sissel catches Jowd up on what happened, Jowd asks why Sith did that to his own ship. “Sissel” butts in (Sissel is quite surprised, as he didn’t notice him) saying Sith is afraid of his powers. Both “Sissel” and Jowd recognize each other, and Jowd identifies “Sissel” as Yomiel. Sissel decides to ask Yomiel some questions. He learns that Yomiel used to be a top systems engineer, and was involved in a project about top-secret government info. He was suspected of leaking info, which is why he was interrogated by Cabenela. He was proven innocent after his “death”. After the “death”, he felt as though he was lost in the dark, unseen and useless. The passing of time amplified his pain, eventually he wanted everyone involved in the Temsik incident to suffer as he had, which is why he manipulated Kamila’s contraption into murdering Jowd’s wife- Alma. As he exacted revenge, Yomiel decided to make a deal: he would hand his powers over to the foreign government, and in exchange, Yomiel would receive help in his revenge and an “everyday life.” He didn’t care that his new life would be artificial, he wanted to feel normal. However, it turned out they were researching the fragment in secret and ended up betraying him, stealing his fragment and leaving him behind.

Sissel wonders why they didn’t just take the Temsik meteorite from the park. Yomiel responds they couldn’t: Cabanela and the pigeon man reported to the government that Temsik was the source of the manipulator’s power in the mysterious cases. The park was put under surveillance, and plans were underway to secure the meteorite. Yomiel believes he deserved the betrayal, and when Jowd asks if he is happy Jowd is dead, he doesn't reply.

Sissel and Missile suggest they bring Jowd back to life because they promised Kamila and Lynne. Sissel rewinds 4 minutes before Jowd’s death. They see the masked assistant tell Jowd the room will sink to the bottom of the sea. The assistant doesn't care, because he’s a robot. Jowd asks why they would go to the trouble of sinking Yomiel’s harmless “shell”, the robot replies that Sith wants to eliminate any “possibility, no matter how small”. The robot activates a hidden machine gun that kills Jowd.

Sissel rewinds again. Yomiel’s body now has a core because the Temsik fragment is gone. Yomiel realizes the possibility the robot referred to was time being rewound to 4 minutes before his death, but nobody knows when the time of death was. Sissel still wonders who he really is, as he rewinds time once more.
