A Song heard the end of Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel.
METHOD_HYMMELI/. is an IPD Hymmnos Word developed by Sasha during the events of the third game. It is a derivative of Infel Phira's METHOD_HYMME/. framework, modified to deliver a concentrated beam of Symphonic Power to a location designated by the Singer rather than shaping the energy into Song Magic.
History[]
In 3775 AD, after Aoto helped Tyria recover EXEC_REBIRTHIA=PROTOCOL from her Binary Field, Tyria Sang it and prepared both Harvestasha modules for the final dive into Ar Ciel's core to deliver the Heart of the Land that Cocona brought with her from Metafalica. However, there was still a problem: Tyria could no longer supply enough Symphonic Power to complete her original body's transformation into the Third Tower, and without that transformation, the dive into Ar Ciel could not be performed. Aoto and his party conferred with Sasha, an engineering prodigy from Metafalica, and they came up with a plan. Sasha hastened the completion of a new proxy satellite and created METHOD_HYMMELI/. to request Symphonic Power from the IPDs on Metafalica. Cocona was tasked with Singing it, as she was the only IPD in Sol Cluster. She was nervous at first, but Aoto and her other friends organized a rallying cry in Archia for her. This allowed her to successfully Sing the Song.
As Symphonic Power from Infel Phira rained down on the Third Tower, Tyria was able to complete its construction; however, as revealed later, she still had to provide a large amount of her own energy, which eventually led to her temporary death after Ar Ciel was restored.
Technical Details[]
METHOD_HYMMELI/. is a modified form of METHOD_HYMME/., the framework that Songs crafted by IPDs in their Cosmospheres are built on top of. METHOD_HYMME/. itself is Infel Phira's implementation of EXEC_HYMME/., the First Tower's original framework for crafted Songs.
The difference between METHOD_HYMMELI/. and METHOD_HYMME/. is that the former allows the Singer to request a concentrated beam of Symphonic Power to be sent to a location of her choice on Ar Ciel. METHOD_HYMME/. requires that the Symphonic Power be shaped into actual Song Magic. Because of this difference, it was necessary to overcome two major problems.
Firstly, the amount of Symphonic Power that would be received by Singing this Song would annihilate the Singer. The solution to this, in Sasha and Cocona's case, was to direct the beam of Symphonic Power directly to the proxy satellite. That way, the satellite would receive the stream of energy rather than Cocona herself.
Secondly, because of the way that Infel Phira handles energy allocation, IPDs are equipped with a safety feature called Potential Omit[1]. This prevents them from requesting more Symphonic Power than they can handle; for example, Cloche, a Level 9 IPD, can handle much more power than a Level 1 IPD can. To circumvent Potential Omit, Sasha engineered METHOD_HYMMELI/. to temporarily create a virtual IPD that was capable of handling the requested amount of energy. This is not unlike METHOD_METAFALICA/., which similarly creates a virtual IPD to receive the feelings of all the IPDs participating in the Song.
In the same vein as METHOD_METAFALICA/., however, METHOD_HYMMELI/. requires the IPDs to agree to send the requested amount of energy to the Singer; otherwise, the Song will fail. When Sasha created the Song, she wrote an unofficial sequel to the Tale of Rhaplanca based on her own feelings of admiration towards Cloche, with Cocona as Maiden Koko, the protagonist. This made it easier for Cocona to communicate her reasons for requesting so much Symphonic Power to the IPDs on Metafalica.

Feelings Contained in This Song[]
A long time ago, this land was dry.
There, a girl by the name of Rhaplanca planted a seed and nurtured a tree.
The only seed. A land without water.
It must've been tough for the girl. To even raise one tree.
A few hundred years after that. The big tree Implanta continuously provided blessings to the people.
But in a certain year, a withered leaf fell for the first time.
Yes, the tree has begun to wither.
Koko, the maiden at that time, was charged with the protection of the tree.
And of course, the people put all the blame on her.
The tree began to wither because she didn't pray enough.
Koko knew.
The tree begun to wither because the people's hearts were barren.
Koko did not tell that to the people.
Not only that, she began to care for, pray for and sing for the tree with more fervor.
But Implanta did not return to its former glory.
Harvests worsened, water dried up, and people stole from each other.
And continued to place the blame on Koko.
Koko watered the tree every day, and gave her prayers.
She woke up earlier than anyone, gave her meals to the poor,
Took care of the injured, and gave her prayers again.
Still, the tree did not recover, and Koko was publicly judged.
She was forced to stand in front of people and endure their criticisms.
Despite that, she still saw the people through innocent eyes,
And wanted to share their pain.
She said this to the crowd.
I've done my best.
But I can't revive the tree.
How much I've feared, escaped, suffered...been confounded...made mistakes.
I'm still just a human being, a woman, not a God...
She told it as it is, and called out.
I just want to help everyone.
I want to work together with everyone to fill this world with hope.
My feelings, my sufferings, my desires, and because I want to live on with everyone,
I knew I could succeed...
That's what I think, and that's why I stand here now.
I will abide by your wishes and step down from my position.
But please spare me from capital punishment for now.
My feelings won't change depending on whether I'm the Maiden or not.
I will definitely revive Implanta.
Until the end of my days.
Like she promised, Koko gave up her position as the maiden.
But her actions did not change.
She woke up earlier than anyone in the morning, watered the tree, took care of it,
And though she herself doesn't get food every day, she gave what she could to the poor.
She looked after those who were injured, and gave her prayers to Implanta at night.
Koko believed.
That her feelings would be delivered.
To Implanta, to the people.
Even if she were to die, her feelings would remain for eternity.
Strong feelings will never fade.
Eventually, as people observed her, they began to water the tree of their own accord.
They were wary of how other people viewed them at first,
But when more people joined their ranks, they were filled with confidence
Though humans are weak lifeforms, their feelings can become stronger when a lot of them gather.
On a certain day, a young boy who woke up even earlier than Koko finally discovered
A small but strong sprout that grew at the bottom of Implanta's trunk.
Just like Rhaplanca's feelings, Koko's feelings reached the people.
Koko nurtured Implanta the same way that Rhaplanca did.
The feelings of just one girl reached the people,
And everyone gave their powers little by little, eventually reviving Implanta.
Within this huge tree of life dwells the feelings of all inhabitants of this land.
Koko told that to the people and her feelings reached them,
And helped Implanta to regain its former power.
