I apologize... It's my job to attend to you, but my body simply won't move like I want it to...

I once breathed in some kind of Originium toxin... it damaged my memory and the nervous system in my lower extremities... at least that is what Dr. Kal'tsit told me. So I often wonder... what was my life like before then?

This little blue bird often comes over and chats with me. Sometimes, I dream about turning into a bird myself... flying free in the skies, without a care...

Once upon a time, I was imprisoned in an empty room. I only saw another human being when they needed my healing...

With this staff in my hand, I can heal as many as I will. Is this... really an ability I was born with?

Shining told me that the sins we carry... the guilt of starting the war, as devils... will one day catch up to us and we will have to face judgment. Those people who imprisoned me said the same thing. But...

Amiya... I feel a sense of deja vu whenever I see her. Perhaps we met sometime in the past?

The memories I have are mere fragments. My people... Originium... my mission, the rebellion, the war... but tell me, why are you in one of my memories too?

How did I end up like this? Why must I suffer all that I do? Doctor, do you have the answers?

Do you too dream of flying freely through the skies like a bird?

Liz... that's my real name. Everything else is just cloudy, indistinct memories...

Why is there a need for me to grow stronger?

A promotion? I see. It sounds like something to rejoice over. But... I apologize, I don't feel any joy within...

Thank you for personally informing me of my promotion, Doctor. But... to me, it doesn't matter as much as the story of the world outside that this little bird is telling me right now.

Is this the rendezvous point?

I shall do anything you command me to.

I need only do as the manual said, yes?

The battlefield... a place where lives are taken...

Doctor...

Who will you choose?

This is... the battlefield...

It's not my wish to take lives.

My power is all yours now.

Take flight.

You will not come to harm.

I shall protect you.

No matter how difficult the battle gets, I will always…

To fight to the very end... that's our destiny.

Perhaps they've already escaped this cage called fate...

Is this... how despair feels?

Rooms... They too are a type of cage.

Yes? What is it?

Doctor... is this... what is known as 'intimacy'?

Arknights.

Happy... New Year? I'm sorry, it seems I've forgotten what this holiday entails—just make a wish and that'll do, you say? Then I would wish, in this coming year, for Margaret and Shining to be safe and sound... as well as you, Doctor.

Good day, Doctor.

Shining notes that since we came aboard Rhodes Island, my health has taken a turn for the better. When by your side, I feel this warmth, too. But why can I not shake this harsh premonition... Doctor, after I recall everything, will Rhodes Island still welcome me with open arms?
