Start

✦

The only closed door.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Open it. Let's hope…

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Huh? Is it locked?

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Let me see. The frame is torn. Have to break it by force!

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Something behind the door?

🔇 N/A

✦

With the screaming of the wood fibers, the door came off the torn frame.

🔇 N/A

Delta

Rita

< Head to the waypoint. >

???

✦

Wah…

🔇 N/A

✦

Panting sound came out of the shadow.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Theresa, is it you?

🔇 N/A

✦

Amidst the scattered containers and odd objects, a small figure with white hair and a black skirt was all curled up.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

It's me... Who are you…

🔇 N/A

✦

She spoke in a broken voice, as though it had taken all of her energy to speak.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

From the look of her and her clothes... She's weak, and she's running a bit warm.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Uh, let's take her to the hospital quick.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Don't move her yet.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Why? She's wounded, if we don't treat her soon...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

We can't see her injuries so easily in this light. If she's broken any bones, it'll be dangerous to move her too quickly.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Right. It's raining, and we don't even have an umbrella. Even she doesn't deserve that.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Hey, you—

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Miss Delta, we've been running around all morning. Plus it's raining, so we should just rest first.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

I'll use this time to take a closer look at this lady here too.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Th... Thank you...

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Sure, since you said that.

🔇 N/A

✦

They clung to each other for warmth. The sound of rainfall intermixed with their breathing.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Did you get rid of all the Honkai Beasts nearby? That's great!

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Try not to move. Rita is going to check your injuries.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

It doesn't look like anything's broken, but her left ankle is puffy and red; I'm gonna guess it's sprained.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Uh... The cuts on her limbs are pretty serious however, and will need to be dealt with.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Grab a bandage.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Hehe!

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

What are you laughing at?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

It's funny seeing you be so delicate too, Miss Delta.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Wait, what do you mean "too?"

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Theresa had a bottle of medicine in her pocket while Delta was coincidently wearing a bandage.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Strange, isn't it? A loner like me only has herself to count on whenever she's out. Perhaps Theresa's the same way.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Delta…

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Hey! You! And you Rita! Don't give me that pity look! I have plenty of strength, I'm just wearing a bandage to help me move.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

You're all talk. Look, you put the bandage on all wrong...

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Hehe, that's okay. Thanks to you, I feel much better.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

But this bottle of medicine isn't mine.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Who gave it to you? The girl who called you away from the library last night?

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Hm, lemme think. That girl had a red... uh, no, it was the girl after that.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

l was being chased by monsters! Chased and twisted my ankle. It was when I was worrying how to get rid of them...

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

She appeared out of nowhere. She helped me, brought me here, gave me medicine, and drove the monsters back.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

And then... and then…

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Where did she go after that?

🔇 N/A

✦

Theresa shook her head and gave a blank look.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

I don't remember... I got the medicine and then she…

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Then she, um, I guess I... fell asleep, hehe.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

But you said that after she helped you, she went to deal with the monsters.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Uh, maybe... Maybe I'm misremembering…

🔇 N/A

✦

She was holding her forehead, distressed. Her cheeks were flush with fever — It was no time to be asking her questions.

🔇 N/A

✦

But suddenly there was this strange girl wrapped up in all of this. I was becoming worried about how many people were involved.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Why would a stranger do all that for you?

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Uh, I don't really know——

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to black. >

Theresa

✦

Wait, can you tell me your name?

🔇 N/A

???

✦

My name... But my name isn't who I am…

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

That's alright! If you don't want to tell me, that's ok too! At least... At least let me thank you!

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Well, you don't owe me anything. In fact…

🔇 N/A

???

✦

All I did was to return a favor.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

— I did it for myself anyway.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Uh, that's all I can remember…

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

That's okay, Overseer Theresa. Do you remember anything else about the girl you met yesterday afternoon?

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Did I meet another girl yesterday?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Yeah, you mentioned the one that called you away from the library.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

…

🔇 N/A

✦

Theresa rested her chin and frowned. Then, she gave a sorry grimace.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

… But what did I do with her?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

You can't remember what happened yesterday?

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

… Sorry.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

It's okay, Overseer. Being subjected to such a terrifying misfortune in two days would undeniably affect memory.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Not just today. I've been forgetful lately.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

What's going on?

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

I've broken my habit of staying up late and replaced the bitter melon juice I drink before bed with milk, but somehow I've become more muddle-headed...

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

I checked my agenda before leaving the house, but as soon as I left the church, I couldn't help but head toward less crowded places...

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

A few days ago, I wandered into the forest and ran into a monster. Luckily, some residents found me, or else...

🔇 N/A

✦

Theresa didn't countinue and buried her head in her arms. Delta who sat next to her poked her in the shoulder.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

But the townspeople didn't mention it, so don't be too hard on yourself.

🔇 N/A

✦

But her comforting didn't work.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

And yesterday that happened. Had that girl not saved me, I, I... It's all my fault!

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Overseer…

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

This is just a nightmare! Let me sleep here, and when I wake up, I'll no longer be the muddle-headed Theresa who only causes trouble!

🔇 N/A

✦

Injury, shock, fear, and self-blame all came at her. We didn't know how to comfort her, and even Rita remained silent.

🔇 N/A

✦

After a long while, Sirin broke the silence.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

You knew this happened for real.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Your forehead feels hot, the ointment feels cool on your skin, and you feel helpless now… These feelings are real, you can't fool yourself.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

…

🔇 N/A

✦

Theresa looked up at Sirin, who avoided her gaze awkwardly.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Don't look at me pitifully. I don't want to know what you remember or underwent.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

But... if you keep running away and lying to yourself, these accidents and troubles will reoccur one day.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Confronting and finding solutions to difficulties is the only way to improve the situation. And...

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin gazed at Theresa. The room was too dim for me to see her expression.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

And your friends are willing to help you and have never laughed at you in front of others.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

With great friends like them, you... you should be more confident.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

… Yeah, thank you for the encouragement.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I didn't promise you that your trying will pay off, though.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Huh?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

But if you don't try with your friends, you'll never know if your trying will pay off…

🔇 N/A

✦

Theresa was pensive, and the room was quiet again.

🔇 N/A

✦

And this time, I noticed the rain outside had stopped.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

The rain's stopped, and I don't hear anything else. We can go.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Yes, Captain-sama. I will contact a hospital in town and send the Overseer there.

🔇 N/A

✦

We finally sent Theresa to hospital. Hearing she was in good health finally put my heart at ease.

🔇 N/A

✦

We hadn't heard anything from Bronie, and were unlikely to ask more details out of Theresa.

🔇 N/A

✦

I sat in the empty corridor and tried to piece together the leads.

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to black. >

Captain

✦

Theresa's memories were too chaotic.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

But that didn't mean they were worthless. At least now I could confirm she came into contact with this Theresa.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

But Theresa didn't fell unconscious like TeRiRi or went missing like I feared.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

So what did she do to Theresa? And...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

And when Theresa was left alone, who was the person that helped her?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Judging by her recount, she isn't some unknown girl, and even knew Theresa would be in danger.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

And she's not the aggressor because she's guilt-ridden... Who could she be?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Proper relaxation is good for the mind and body, as well as organizing thoughts.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

… Ah, I'm fine, you go rest. Maybe Bronie will update us soon, and we'll be running about again.

🔇 N/A

✦

Instead, Rita walked up to me and looked out of the window as I did.

🔇 N/A

✦

Against the dark outside, the glass reflected her fair, delicate features like a mirror. The turmoil did not tarnish her beauty by one bit.

🔇 N/A

✦

Rita took a lipstick out of her handbag and outlined her full lips in a glossy burgundy.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

~

🔇 N/A

✦

I suddenly saw her lips curve upward. I knew she had taken notice, so I hastily withdrew my eyes.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

You're as shy as always, Captain.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

I'm sorry, I just...

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Now I feel sorry~

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

I should be the one apologizing. I feel bad about making you all come with me...

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Since we met, I've known that your heart, regardless of what it undergoes, would not change in the slightest.

🔇 N/A

✦

She must be implying something. So I thought, the moment she finished speaking, the same name must have popped up in our heads.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

You are always pained by the tragedy of others, but not once did your shirk because of your own perils.

🔇 N/A

✦

She was smiling, but I couldn't read her eyes reflected on the glass.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Isn't that just being stupid? Rita, please don't make fun of me.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

No, you've misunderstood me. I never make fun of danger, especially in the face of someone like you.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

You don't seem to know anything about the situation that awaits.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

The bubble universes we are and were in are but few of the many froths stirred by the waves. In any case, their fate is to perish.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

But I…

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

I heard you have set foot in a special bubble universe. No, calling a bubble universe would only lead to the misconception that it is as fragile as the countless ones of its kind drifting on the sea.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Since similar faces and a future that will most likely be forever stable exist there, I don't see why you insist on taking this path of agony and despair.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

I presume it isn't too late for you to change your mind.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

No, I-I want to say…

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

*Sigh* I don't know. I don't know how to express this feeling.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Nothing is pushing me, and I don't have a strong sense of purpose, yet I believe I must do it...

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to black. >

Captain

✦

Because I know...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Someone is waiting for me there. She's in one of the countless ordinary and fragile bubble universes you said.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

I made a promise to her. Although it's simple and not very special, but, but…

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

But I want to fulfill it. So I can't give up yet.

🔇 N/A

✦

The beautiful figure reflected on the glass sighed.

🔇 N/A

✦

When I met her gaze, all I could see was a composed smile spreading across her face.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Please excuse my stupidity. I'm truly hopelessly stupid.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Please, don't be nervous. I did not, nor am qualified, to judge you. I was only thinking…

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

You're a person of your convictions. Well then—

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to black. >

Rita

✦

Even in the uncertain future, I ask you to adhere to it.

🔇 N/A

✦

What was she talking about?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Wait, what did you mean by…

🔇 N/A

✦

The communicator on me beeped.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Captain, any progress?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

We were a step too late, but managed to obtain some valuable leads.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Don't worry, I've located the second known target. I've sent the data to your terminal.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Hopefully you’ll be a step ahead of her this time.

🔇 N/A
