Hm? Need a hand, Doctor? Or you got something interesting for me?

Do you know how wild it is, as a Kazimierz Knight, to see a 'company' actually trying so hard to treat Infected? It's a mind-melter, trust me. Yeah, seriously. Justyna still keeps wondering how Rhodes Island turns a profit.

Doctor, question? Can I take a look at Operator Nearl's battle records? Uh, no, I'm just a little curious—yeah? Thanks, Doctor! Let's see, uh... oh, man. Maybe I oughta tell Iwona to push back her sparring with Nearl…

Ashley and me? We met through the Major. I just got a feeling we could get along. So I took it upon myself to talk to her after the match. Jeez, thinking about it, I've got a talent for scouting, don't I?

Platinum,' huh. I know what happened with her after, but still, no plans to be her friend. Y'know, before, we said the Armorless Union, and the General Chamber of Commerce, were our greatest enemies. But to be real... ha, it's the whole age we live in we're dissenting against.

The titans we call cities rumble forth. As people live on their backs, neon outshines the moonlight, and car engine silences bug chirps with its deafening rumbles. Too much gets tossed away, flattened undertread. Those people, they all deserve a different life... a better one. Infected or not, Doctor, we all oughta be searching for a new way forward.

Doctor! Heard from Gravel and Amiya, you faced off with the Armorless Union during the Major? And you're the one who sniffed out the Area 0 plot? How'd you—wait, hold on, lemme bring a chair over and get some snacks while I'm at it. Alright, Teach! Take it away!

Before I met Ashley, I honestly figured I'd be fine if I just kept living. But now, with Justyna, Iwona, Maria—and the Radiant Knight... I'm prepared to fight alongside them. Throw that life of mine out there for them. It's why I fight on.

Maybe one day, when everyone figures out what 'Knight' deep inside their hearts really holds for them , and knights truly retire from the stage, Kazimierz can be peaceful in the truest sense. The Radiant Knight, she told me these words, and they spurred me into seeing more and further with my eyes. Maybe there's more I should be doing, you know.

Take a rest, Doctor. Man, I wonder what Ashley and the others are up to right now.

Pinus Sylvestris Knightclub Leader, Flametail Knight, Sona! You're the Doctor? Mmm, well, you're kinda not like I imagined, but hey. I'm under your wing from here on out, Doctor!

Huh. The stuff you watch for real combat's pretty crazy different from the Major.

It's a first for me to get promoted without commercials or camera flashes. Well, Pinus Sylvestris Knightclub Leader, Flametail Knight, Sona! Continuing the stride!

I used to worry how an ever-heartless fight would lead us all down a messed-up way, but now... heheh, I guess ideals are something you oughta have. Aren't they, Doctor?

Ashley not gonna come with?

Flametail' Sona, spearheading and rolling out!

Live up to duty!

Enemy spotted. It'll be nice if they entered single file like the Knights do, though.

Any instructions for me?

Feels fresh every time when someone gives me orders.

Can your eyes keep up?

A new challenge!

C'mon, let's pick up the pace.

Haha, losing sight?

Feels bad to lose your target, doesn't it?

'Tail like a shooting star,' that's what they say.

Maybe our life and times will make its own choice for us. But right now, we can only choose to fight to the last. Because we're Knights, because we're Infected. Because we're alive.

We've won a lot of times before, Doctor. Here and now, though, we're struggling for our own destiny, our own future. That's the real fight, isn't it?

This sure as hell isn't a competition, Doctor. Letting them off easy's not gonna win the crowd over, y'know?

Everyone, retreat! Let me hold the rear! Don't worry, I'm an expert in escaping the pursuits.

Wow, this sure beats the Grand Knight Territory sewers. Guesstimating a couple hundred times better?

Hyah!? What?

You're wondering how I usually dress? Mm, uhh... ahaha...

Arknights.

Never woulda expected I'd be spending New Year's at Rhodes Island... nah, not like I miss my days in the Grand Knight Territory. Who's gonna go and miss getting hunted, right? I'm just closing my eyes, seeing the broke and Infected celebrating the New Year, under that skyscraper's shadow. The looks on their faces. I still remember it even now.

Morning to you, Doctor.

What a bustling day. Ashley's been busy signing her autographs for the fans, Justyna's playing her grass whistle, and Iwona and Justice Knight are also having fun with other buggies. It's been a while since the last time I saw such smiles on their faces. Good to see they enjoy themselves again, and it's all thanks to you, Doctor.
