After completing a limited-time mission, a woman gains a new ability called Soul Link that lets her read the minds of bound spirit beasts. However, the beasts remain suspicious, doubting her intentions and accusing her of scheming, especially after a recent incident involving a boar. The woman angrily denies the accusations, threatening to recall the boar to attack them if they don't trust her. Amid this tension, a stranger appears and urgently asks her to accompany him to Mount Chillmon, but she refuses, leaving her next move uncertain.
