Octopath Traveler 2 - Hikari Chapter 4

A somewhat lengthy chapter that is front loaded with exposition. It falls into the exact same narrative trap that all of Hikari's chapters fall into, and I think this one is going to be what pushes me to make a special Octopath video at the end where I dissect the stories.

As for here, somehow Mugen is able to exert influence on Clan Mei despite them being on a different continent in a different biome, and we need to go speak to Rai Mei. While doing so, we learn about what happened to Hikari's mother and see his bloodline curse take effect for the first time.

Afterward, we get to navigate the fortress and come against Rai Mei before bringing her and her clan into the fold of Hikari's resistance.
