That device you're holding seems to be in poor shape. Would you mind if I take a look at it?

Hey, Ansel. Cardigan looks good today. Anything I can help you with?

We have a squad of very interesting people, especially Melantha. She always seems to be hiding from me, but I can sniff her out.

Cardigan, what are you doing? You look so happy.

Not every Laterano has the right to use guns, rare weapons that they are. In my hometown, we're pretty good at making knockoff gun parts. The crossbow crafting industry is also on the rise. The result is what I have here - a crossbow with a tactical rail attachment.

Would you like to try some of my handmade sweets? I'm kind of ashamed that I can only make 25 types of desserts. It feels like I've disgraced the Laterano people.

What's wrong with my halo? I don't know why, but it seems to have deviated slightly. According to Dr. Kal'tsit, it probably has something to do with my abnormal hippocampus.

Instead of watching you from afar, I feel much better standing by your side, Doctor.

Doctor, you strike an impressive figure, even when you rest like that.

My name is Adnachiel. I'm a Sniper from Laterano. Although I'm not yet certified to carry a gun, I can match the veterans with my crossbow!

Put me to good use and I'll be more than happy.

Thank you very much for the promotion.

We will be fine.

If anything breaks, bring it to me. I may be able to fix it for you.

It's time to go. Are you ready?

Let the hunt begin.

I will follow your orders.

Hmm?

You better run away soon.

Okay!

Gotcha!

Locked on!

Everything went just as you planned, Doctor.

We have the Doctor's orders to thank for this.

Our operation was a success, but something feels a bit off...

I'm so sorry...

This place has a great vibe.

What?

Doctor? I'm so happy to be with you!

Arknights.

Just like here, everyone would get together on this day to celebrate in Laterano. Some friends would even come visit just for the occasion, and see whether my halo was righted yet. Well, it's a shame I wasn't able to get my own gun before I left, but I guess I clicked with the crossbow anyhow. Slick of me, right?

May the Lord bless you, Doctor.

I've learned how to make fifteen more desserts this year, and though that's a long way off from how many desserts Laterano has, it should be enough for you to choose your birthday cake. I'd lean towards a fruitcake or a raspberry mochi—sweet and delicious in spades.

Doctor, nothing's made me happier than getting to work with you so long. I can't count how much you've cared for my squad members over the past year. Whichever way you guide me, Doctor, that's the future I'll sprint for.
