Nanally’s bond quest chain in Neverness to Everness runs on text messages, and “Colucci Anecdote – Mysterious Video” is the one where she invites you to a horror movie that is not a horror movie. The whole thing takes a few minutes once it unlocks, but it will not appear at all until her Affection is high enough.
Quick answer: Raise Nanally’s Affection to level 4, open the Message app and reply to her “Appraiser, wanna catch a movie?” thread, then travel to Elbon’s backyard on Hankaku Street and talk to her to trigger the cutscene that completes the quest.
Quest requirements and location
The invite arrives through Nanally’s message thread, and that thread is gated behind her bond level. Open the Bond menu, select Nanally, switch to the Gift tab, and hand over gifts until her Affection reaches level 4. Her profile lists her as Elbon Staff, and the Affection meter sits directly under her portrait.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Quest name | Colucci Anecdote – Mysterious Video |
| Objective title | A Mysterious Horror Movie… |

Trigger the quest from Nanally’s message thread
Note: Nanally has other message threads, including “Family Small Talk” and a “Getting to know…” conversation. Answering those is fine, but neither one starts or advances this quest.

The video scene and dialogue choices
Nanally pulls up a file called “Not for the Faint of Heart: The Scariest Tales of Hethereau!” and plays it on her phone. The eerie music lasts only a few seconds before the footage reveals itself as “Nini’s Adventures,” a gangster anime, and Nanally realizes she was handed a joke file.
None of the dialogue choices here branch the outcome. You can pick “Never said I was interested…” during the discussion and still finish the same way. Nanally explains that “Nini’s Adventures” is an anime with a serious take on gangsters and on what she calls the spiritual foundation of the Coluccis, and that it was one of her original inspirations.
The file cuts out after the theme song. Nanally offers to recite the show from memory, then settles for promising to dig up the saved folder with the full episodes so you can watch them together another time. Clear the remaining dialogue and the scene ends.
Confirming completion and rewards
You know it worked when the cutscene fades and the screen shows “Colucci Anecdote – Mysterious Video” with a Quest Complete banner, followed by the reward pop-up before you return to free roam. If you are still standing in the backyard with the objective active, the dialogue did not finish.
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Hunter Level EXP | 100 |
| Crystal currency (red square icon) | 10 |
Why the quest may not appear
- Nanally’s Affection is below level 4, so the movie invite never lands in the Message app. Gift her from the Bond menu until the meter hits 4.
- The message thread was opened but not answered through to the last reply. The quest only registers after “Why so mysterious?”
- You are looking in the wrong spot. The marker sits in Elbon’s backyard, not at the dorm entrance where the text conversation says to meet.
The quest is a short one, and it sits inside the wider Colucci Anecdote line alongside entries like “For the Family Business.” Since the episodes Nanally promises are never actually shown, there is nothing left to chase afterward here. Keep gifting her if you want the next bond beat to unlock.
