I can be your assistant, but is it okay if I do some craft work here?

Doctor, if you like excitement, you should probably stay in Siracusa for a while. You won't enjoy it so much after that.

Considering his personality, sometimes even I wonder why no one's beaten Chiave to death yet.

Doctor, are you interested in DIY? See, the three of us actually design and make our own weapons and outfits. You could join us sometime, if you want.

After cleaning up Chiave’s messes so many times, I’ve realized something: If you want real power, you’ll need to rely on more than just violence.

In Siracusa, most people my age just want to join a famiglia, but there are plenty more who would rather live an honest life instead. Sometimes, I think those are the strongest of us all.

(Yawn) …Oh, sorry, Doctor, I didn't get much sleep last night. Rhodes Island is way too safe. It's taking some time to get used to.

Chiave, Broca, and me. The three of us are like brothers, and we've done all kinds of things together. But, sometimes, I really wonder if this really is the life for us.

To tell you the truth, I wanted to be a public servant when I was a kid. Up until my dad made me pick up a weapon for the first time, that is. I don't mind drifting around with the other two, but I always felt like I was missing something, and I know what it is now. I wanted to become as strong-willed as you are, Doctor.

Doctor... you're asleep? You sure live a comfy life, heh? I'm pretty jealous.

Hello, Doctor. I'm Aosta. It's thanks to you that the three of us are still alive. If you don't mind, please let us work here for the time being.

Maybe we're still alive only because of a stroke of luck…

Doctor, is Rhodes Island really a pharmaceutical company? I've got the feeling that we might just be able to take over a Siracusan city if everyone here put themselves to it.

I think I might just be able to live the life I've always wanted at Rhodes Island... Doctor, could I apply to open a DIY shop here?

I hope this isn't going to be too much trouble.

I'll give it my best shot.

Let's avoid any unnecessary fights.

Guess we don't have a choice. Let's get this taken care of.

I'll go.

Yes?

Take them all down?

Let me give it a shot.

Hello.

Farewell.

Time to put an end to this.

Tsk.

Doctor, do you enjoy challenging yourself so much?

I got all of them. I just hope they're worth it.

A few of them got through, but I think we'll be fine.

Doctor, you go on ahead. I'll clean up the mess here. It's my speciality, after all.

I'll just walk around, then.

I can walk, Doctor.

How are things going, Doctor?

Arknights.

New Year's used to be the three of us hiding in a small room, scraping together a table of assorted dishes to, at the very least, eat something together. And that's all. I never imagined having such a lavish New Year's celebration as this… Don't worry, Doctor, I'll keep an eye on Chiave and make sure he stays out of trouble.

Hello, Doctor.

Oh, Doctor, I got a lot of orders for props tonight. Did you notice? A whole lot of the decorations hanging around are my creations… Ah, don't worry, I enjoy this festive atmosphere well enough. Would you like me to make you some too? Free of charge, and I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.
