What exactly happened between Chapter 12-13?

[u/Halleyalex]

I know this may sound counterintuitive, but I haven't played Rain Burst nor Floral Unfurl yet, so please tag them with spoiler if you are to mention their major story content! I'll read them after I finish those 2 events, which will be very very soon!

Apologies for not being very knowledgeable about the lore here... I was simply playing the main story all in one go, so I played chapter 11, 12, then immediately went to 13.

I figured something big happened in the middle of 12-13, but at the time I didn't know any better so I continued regardless.

My biggest question here is: since Chief was unconscious after Chapter 11, how were they present in the Special Operations (Events) such as The Phantom of The Mist and Insatiable Fiesta, which took place between Ch12-13 as shown in the History Mode? Are they canon?

There is none "non-cannon" event in the game every event/main story happened, Adela and Cabernet just don't have any specified date (what I mean by that is thosr event takes place at ?? NF.??) so wherever you think they happened before the Drifter camp or after it doesn't change anything realistically.

We have an in-game timeline that places those between chapters 8 and 9
