Antonia

Antonia Cerasani is the owner of Hotel Krat.

Background

Antonia is an old friend of Geppetto's and was fond of his son Carlo, who she considered to be family and taking him in after he graduated from the Monad Charity House. Antonia wrote to Geppetto and reprimanded him for neglecting Carlo, but Geppetto ignored the request while paying for Carlo's lodging fee. She was also close to the Venigni family. After the outbreak of the Puppet Frenzy she opened up her hotel as a sanctuary for survivors. At some point she contracted the Petrification Disease, leaving her confined to a wheelchair.

Interactions

Chapter I

Upon first Talk:

Antonia

Unexpected guests are welcome.

We don't insist on reservations.

I am Antonia, and this is my hotel. Welcome.

Oh, I knew from the moment we met that you're Geppetto's puppet.

He might have a few screws loose, but Geppetto's skills are undiminished.

It's a shame.

He took off for Elysion Boulevard, and he never came back.

If he doesn't turn up soon, we'll have to make a new coffin... *Cough cough*

Oh, I forgot I was keeping this for him.

It comes with a long story, but I think it's better off with you.

Please find the old man.

And do take care of yourself out there.

Geppetto's puppet will receive the second obtainable outfit, Someone's Memory, and the third obtainable gesture, Show Off Clothes. Geppetto's puppet can equip Someone's Memory and perform the Show Off Clothes gesture in front of Antonia to hear a response and receive a Vivid Ergo Fragment:

Antonia

It suits you. For a moment there, you looked just like...

Forgive me, I'm rambling...

When you get to my age, your memories are like good friends -- and just as distracting.

Upon subsequent Talk:

Antonia

People have no idea so many secrets are buried in Krat...

Thanks for keeping me company. What are you curious about?

>About lying

Antonia

I see you're here. That means you can lie.

Your lies are a rare ability.

You are able to choose your own path, unbound by anything.

People on the outside are still afraid of puppets.

Lie to protect yourself and find your path.

>About Geppetto

Antonia

I'm an old friend of Geppetto's.

His son is like family to me.

Make yourself at home.

You're always welcome here at the hotel.

If you have any questions, ask my butler, Polendina.

Story

Antonia is met when Geppetto's puppet first enters Hotel Krat. She provides it Someone's Memory. As the story progresses her condition worsens as the Petrification Disease continues to affect her. This prompts Polendina to admit to Geppetto's puppet that his Ego has awakened and that he desires to see Antonia cured. Geppetto's puppet can obtain a cure for the Petrification Disease from Giangino, who warns it that the cure will not undo any damage already done by the disease. Geppetto's puppet then gives Polendina the cure and has the choice to tell him whether to administer it to Antonia or not. If the cure is administered Antonia will be rid of the symptoms of the Petrification Disease. Regardless of whether or not the cure was administered, Antonia will pass away after Laxasia is defeated.
