I still remember this conference room. This seat… was it reserved for Theresa? No... I have no need for it.

Theresa is no more. This body, this vestige before you, is but a program that exists within the 'King of Sarkaz.' My form and my presence are the result of Amiya's emotions. As much as I may remember everything from the past, please do not mistake me for Theresa herself.

I will stay by Amiya's aside, accompanying everyone here at Rhodes Island. Though, this hardly makes up for all the lost time... Doctor, I'm not a program in the same sense as PRTS. See? You might not be able to feel my body temperature, but I can at least smile.

Rhodes Island has strode beyond war, and should now re-embark on her intended route. For starters, how about optimizing our logistics? There are several conference rooms that can be freed up and converted into sickbays... You'd like my personal opinion? Doctor, allow me to remind you again, I am not Theresa.

'Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals Inc.'... registered to Amiya's hometown... And these medicines... They were all developed by Kal'tsit... No, I have no regrets. Babel has fulfilled its duty. Rhodes Island will continue to sail, and continue to alleviate sickness and pain. If Theresa was here, I'm sure she would have been pleased.

Never have I regretted any of my decisions. We did everything we could have done, and bequeathed hope unto the future. Time will close wounds, love will mend scars. When the long night ends, Rhodes Island will usher in the light of dawn. Though many have left us along the way, I will remain here and bear witness to the ending.

Amiya still looks so thin and frail. For a girl at this age, maybe she should be a bit taller? All these days, has she been eating well…? How she so wished to see Amiya as she is now, to watch her grow for just a bit longer. Her wish should have been granted...

Kal'tsit still refuses to speak to me. When she poses questions to this crown, she avoids looking me in the eye. 'The King of Sarkaz' remembers her past. While I can sympathize with her loneliness, I cannot free her from her shackles. Perhaps one day, Doctor, you can help her find meaning in her existence, as her companion.

Doctor, you carry such guilt within your eyes. But you ask, is one's memory sufficient to define who they are? You have lost your memories. I merely inherited all of hers. How are we to settle what happened so long ago? Doctor, go and spend some more time with Amiya and Kal'tsit. None shall linger in the past, except her.

Are you weary, Doctor? Then, go ahead and rest. Everyone has the right to fall into peaceful slumber, and you are no exception.

...I'm here.

…Did I just see Amiya fighting?

I still remember every medal I distributed with these very hands. These ceremonies are also commitments. Rhodes Island will never give up on her ideals, let sacrifices be in vain, or forget about those who've traveled with her. Even now, we remain on the same course we originally charted.

I know, there are still many people who need me. Don't worry. This time, I'm not going anywhere.

Will you lead us to victory once more, Doctor?

I will stand alongside the warriors of Rhodes Island.

Warriors of Rhodes Island, may you all return victorious.

I can hear the sorrow within you all.

Doctor, I have faith in your command.

It's okay. I am with you.

Amiya, get behind me.

I am right here. I will always remain with you.

I will remember each and every one of you.

Your ideals... are equally worthy of respect.

Keep striding forward. I shall be at your side.

Don't cry. It will all be over soon.

There shall come a day... when we can strike alight the flames that burn away all decay.

You always make the perfect calculations so that everything falls into place just as you planned, don't you?

Without you, our casualties would have been far worse... Thank you, Doctor.

We will be able to move beyond this pain and suffering. Rhodes Island will not stop here.

A new security system? Will it still recognize me?

Boo! Did I scare you?

I'm watching you, Doctor.

Arknights.

Happy New Year, Doctor. Rhodes Island is a lot livelier than it used to be. Though there's still so much unfinished business, this moment of peace is precious nevertheless. Doctor, can you give these storybooks and toys to the children for me? It's something Theresa always used to do.

Program initializing. Accessor: Dr.{@nickname}.

'Rhodes Island.' This very name fills one with warmth and comfort. Surely, tender memories will rush forth as soon as you speak these words. I hope that Rhodes Island can continue to carry forth the hopes and expectations of countless people, and in the future, become home for many, many more.
