Start

Helios. Present time.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Mei? You're back.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Yeah. I just returned. I took some time to walk Sora home since the city is a dangerous place.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Is Kiana still in the medical bay?

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Yes. We just finished another round of checks. Her situation hasn't changed. We should let her rest.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

The Hyperion will be here soon. We'll be leaving this place.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Kiana hasn't eaten anything since she woke. She must be hungry. I'll head to the kitchen.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Wait... Mei...

🔇 N/A

Mei

What is it?

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Mophead, well... isn't great with words. Her "factual talk" is good for research, but it can be mean as well.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Just don't get too worked up about what she said.

🔇 N/A

Mei

It's fine, Dr. Tesla. I'm alright.

🔇 N/A

Mei

I've been working with AE for 4 months and I know you're both excellent scientists. I trust your judgment.

🔇 N/A

Mei

I'm glad that you're willing to tell me the truth.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

I know that you're feeling terrible, but... we'll do our best and find a way.

🔇 N/A

Mei

......

🔇 N/A

Mei

Thank you.

🔇 N/A

Kiana

Mei, you're back!

🔇 N/A

Mei

You must be hungry. I made something for you.

🔇 N/A

Kiana

Whoah! It's Mei's special curry!

🔇 N/A

Mei

Eat this first. Tell me if you want anything else. I'll make it for you.

🔇 N/A

Kiana sat up and ate as fast as she could.

🔇 N/A

Kiana

Whoah! NYAM NYAM! It's great! This is the best meal ever!

🔇 N/A

Mei

Slow down and try not to choke, Kiana. There's definitely enough for you.

🔇 N/A

She finished the curry in an instant.

🔇 N/A

Kiana

I'm stuffed.

🔇 N/A

Mei

I guess those 4 months didn't change your appetite or table manners.

🔇 N/A

Kiana

Gosh, tell me about it. I didn't have a decent meal for months!

🔇 N/A

Kiana

That means I missed all this wonderful and nostalgic flavors...

🔇 N/A

Kiana

The freshness and perfect spiciness of this curry... hoo... you're the bestest cook ever, Mei.

🔇 N/A

Mei

...I... I'm glad you like it. I was worried that it was... too spicy.

🔇 N/A

Kiana

No, of course not. The heat is just perfect. It got me sweating and feeling good. I like it.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Have some water. Try not to choke.

🔇 N/A

Kiana emptied the glass and laid down on her bed looking satisfied.

🔇 N/A

Mei

The Hyperion will take you to an AE base. Listen to the professors and follow their advice. They're good people.

🔇 N/A

Kiana

Okay, okay. I got that. Don't worry, Mei. I'll be fine.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Yes, Kiana. You'll be fine.

🔇 N/A

Mei

You will... be just fine...

🔇 N/A

Mei

I'll go do the dishes. Just lay down and rest.

🔇 N/A

Kiana

Alrighty.

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black. >

*SPLOOOSH*

🔇 N/A

Mei

......

🔇 N/A

Water flowed across Mei's fingertips and disappeared into the drain with a soft, weeping sound.

🔇 N/A

While placing the dried plates on the shelf, she accidentally knocked down a wooden bowl. Several things fell.

🔇 N/A

They were the sweet peppers used for making the curry.

🔇 N/A

Mei

......

🔇 N/A

*TICK* *TOCK* She only had a few minutes before the 2-hours they promised run out.

🔇 N/A

Mei left the kitchen. The corridor was dark except for the medical bay that flickered in the distance.

🔇 N/A

Mei

......

🔇 N/A

Mei

You lie like an idiot......

🔇 N/A

She turned around and walked towards the darkness.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Sweet pepper curry isn't spicy at all.

🔇 N/A

< The screen then switches to Nagazora, where the Captain will have control of Mei's [Striker Fulminata] battlesuit. >

Go to the Roost alone to rendezvous with Raven.

< Reach the end of the stage within the time limit. >

< Enter the portal. >

Mei:

This is the rendezvous.

Mei:

But no one is here...

Mei:

Sora and the kids have already left...?

Raven

You're here.

🔇 N/A

The voice came from above. Mei looked up and saw Raven perched lazily on the roof.

🔇 N/A

She then landed softly on the ground.

🔇 N/A

Raven

2 hours. Just right. I like you. You're punctual.

🔇 N/A

Mei

And I came alone as agreed.

🔇 N/A

Raven

Hmph. You seem ready. Come, follow me.

🔇 N/A

Raven opened the gates of the Roost and led Mei into the shelters.

🔇 N/A

Raven

This place changed after the children left.

🔇 N/A

Raven

It's no different than the ruins around us. Quiet. Desolate. Lifeless.

🔇 N/A

Mei

What will happen to them?

🔇 N/A

Raven

They'll get treatment at a safe environment with controlled ambient Honkai levels. And a lot more space.

🔇 N/A

Raven

A significant improvement, both physically and mentally, when compared to the Roost.

🔇 N/A

Raven

The treatment will give them functional stigmata. The children can then leave their past behind and start a new life.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Leave? Would the World Serpent let them leave?

🔇 N/A

Mei

I don't think your friends will let anyone with fully functional stigmata go. They're too precious...

🔇 N/A

Raven

They will. The Sire gave his word. It is the payment he promised me.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Payment?

🔇 N/A

Raven smiled and said nothing more. They meandered down the lanes and arrived before a metal door.

🔇 N/A

Raven

Here we are.

🔇 N/A

Raven

The Sire is behind this door. He will meet you. Alone.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Open it.

🔇 N/A

Raven

......

🔇 N/A

Raven

You astonish me, girl. When we first met, I thought you're just an innocent little child.

🔇 N/A

Raven

A few days passed and you look different. You completed your metamorphosis far more quickly than I thought.

🔇 N/A

Raven

I hope you'll find the answers you seek. Go ahead, girl, and good luck.

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black. >

The metal door opened slowly. Mei stepped through and entered a dark plaza.

🔇 N/A

*TAP*, *TAP*...

🔇 N/A

Footsteps approached her in the darkness.
