But thankfully Chapter 8 is very short! There are just a ton of character quests thrown at you...

Arriving in Ha Mill, we hear a woman in the distance calling out a thief. And then we see Musee floating towards us from that direction. Hmm.

Mira is surprised at her "Nee-san", and Musee is equally shocked before correcting after a glance that she's not her Milla. Mira's mood plumets again, but the woman comes running after Musee, calling her the thief. Not really... minding that she's a strangely colored floating lady with wings, so I'm guessing in Rieze Maxia at least, it's common enough to see Spirits flitting about. Musee is unperturbed, laughs and does the mid-air equivalent of laying on her stomach and kicking her raised feet back and forth while saying that she couldn't help it; she heard all about food from Milla while they were in the Spirit World so she wanted to try it too. Ludger pays up what Musee owes the woman, and we fade to black to fill Musee in on events since last time.

She's notably more serious afterwards, and asks if she can hop along with us. Choice of 'Refuse' or 'I don't mind, but why?', and going with the latter has Musee tilting her head and repeating the why, before floating close to Mira, who she smiles at, and telling Ludger she's concerned for this girl. Mira looks like she doesn't know what to make of that, and we get a Musee in our party yesssss more girls \o/

Sadly, I can't have an all girls party as badass as that would be, since Ludger can't ever be taken out of the active one a la RadiMyth, but next playthrough I can! I will!

Elize notes in a skit that Musee is much kinder and gentle now, compared to last game, and she asks if that's so. We get a choice of 'So why'd you change?' or 'I don't know how you were before, but I like you now'. Gotta grind the affection up, so I pick the latter, and Musee blushes and asks if Ludger is proposing to her. Everyone goes WHAT. It goes without saying she's been "learning" about humans from none other than Milla; she's full of literal mindedness and misconceptions.

Vel gives us a call, and says if we have the time while searching for Julius to check out an Alt World she gives the coordinates for, one that was on the list of worlds Julius knows of. And Musee is interested in the Alt Worlds as well, so we decide to do that.
