The operations in Melinoe have come to an end. It's time to contact Ferrier again

Icon Commission Commission Description

With the suppression operations against Melinoe with Miyabi and the rest of Section 6, crisis after crisis is resolved and story after story comes to a conclusion... Then, a friend comes calling to commemorate the resolution of this exploration.
(Talk to "Ferrier")
"Ferrier": (‍Sir!Sir! / Ma'am!Ma'am!‍)! Seeing you again must mean that Section 6's operation in Melinoe turned out well, right?
Several days ago, under Miyabi's leadership, Section 6 eliminated several dangerous Ethereals in Melinoe.
The scale of the Hollow was brought under control, and Section 6's mission came to a close.
Of course, such smooth progress in the operation was also thanks to the wholehearted assistance of an "extra squad member."
"Ferrier": There is an official document from Section 6 that needs to be delivered to you directly, hence I contacted you to come down to the HAND HQ.
"Ferrier": Looking at the emblem on the folder, it should be related to the Melinoe suppression operation. Section Chief Hoshimi specifically instructed me to deliver it to you personally and intact. She said it was... an "operation report", or something like that.
"Ferrier": In any case, now that you have the documents, my mission is complete. Although I'm not sure what exactly your role was in the Melinoe operation, I know that you must have made a significant contribution to New Eridu, which is why the officers of Section 6 hold you in such high regard.
"Ferrier": I sincerely thank you, the nameless hero!
Miyabi's "Operation Report"
Section 6 Melinoe Suppression Operation Report
Dear (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍)

Good day to you, Proxy. It's quite rare to see this title in official HSO documents — though most of these documents are drafted or reviewed by Yanagi, so I won't pretend to know much about them, but I imagine letters addressed to Proxies aren't too common, are they?

I don't usually write letters, but I feel there's something I want to say to you. When we meet, I tend to ramble, which might be annoying, and a Knock Knock message doesn't quite feel formal enough. So, I'll write you an operational report instead.

Honestly though, I'm not exactly sure how an operational report goes. It seems aside from wielding a blade, I'm not particularly proficient at anything else? While in the Melinoe Hollow, I've been fortunate to have a Proxy to keep me from losing my way. Yes, I want to talk to you about Melinoe, that vast, pale expanse that makes your eyes sting if you look at it too long.

It's strange, really — you're not physically by my side, just guiding me within that small figure of a Bangboo, yet it still reassures me nonetheless... Kind of like a stricter version of Yanagi, but equally reliable... Wait, that's not quite it... My father never really arranged any literary or poetic lessons for me, and my mother didn't like me being restricted. I've hardly written any letters myself, so if my words don't come across well, please forgive me.

I've found a reason to wield my blade, but I'm still searching for a reason to stop wielding my blade. You, and everyone else, have all shown me the way forward. The white Melinoe sometimes makes me think of winter. You know, I quite like snow. The cold, sharp snow resembles my blade, and the clean, soft snow resembles my mother. The clear, fragile snow, in some way, resembles you.

When the day comes that I no longer need to wield my blade, shall we go see the snow together?

The Melinoe suppression mission has been successfully completed. We extend our sincere thanks to the specially invited squad member, (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍), for their help.
— Hoshimi Miyabi of Hollow Special Operations Section 6
