The story follows the Traveler and their allies—including characters like Varka, Sandrone (the Marionette), and Arlecchino—as they pursue Il Dottore (The Doctor) to his secret research facility in northern Nod-Krai after discovering his planned return to Snezhnaya was merely a decoy . The narrative unfolds across three main subquests: "Moonless Night," which involves infiltrating Dottore's facility and confronting him as a weekly boss; "Where Our Time and Space Intersect," a dimension-hopping segment where players explore the mysterious "World in the Mirror" and navigate spatial anomalies ; and "Tracing the Footsteps of the Past," which features character interactions with Childe and a quiet "teatime" scene with Sandrone as the team regroups . Completing the quest takes approximately 2 to 3.5 hours and unlocks the subsequent Act VIII, "True Moon" .
