I-Is there anything I can help with? Just say the word and I can do it.

Franka and Liskarm are so incredible! I really admire them. I want to become as great as they are someday. I can... I can do it! Will you help me, Doctor?

Um, I heard word that Vanilla's here too? She was in my squad when she first joined Blacksteel. We went on missions together! She's become such a reliable Operator now... but I'm still just me...

Dr. {@nickname}, do I come off as... spineless? I know I shouldn't let people walk all over me... I'm trying to change...

Sometimes I feel like I'm back in Blacksteel, even after going through so much with Rhodes Island. I'm not the old me anymore, either... it's weird. Is it because I miss how it was back then? No, no. I don't miss the person I used to be, I know that for sure...

Hard work doesn't mean anything without results. That's what I think at least! That's why I don't want anyone to see me training alone. Having you, though... it's really comforting when you're with me, for some reason.

I pulled a muscle training a couple days ago... but don't worry, I-I'm okay! Urk...! I won't let this get in the way of you or anyone at Rhodes Island, Doctor!

Freeze, hands in the air! Oh, did I scare you? I'm sorry, it's just Franka told me to be bold and assertive, and I only wanted to try it out... I'm really sorry...

Everyone at Blacksteel and Rhodes Island is so amazing and talented. I know I'm nothing compared to them... but, still, just every once in a while, I really like it when I get compliments...

Doctor... Doctor? Are you sleeping? I'll clean your desk up for you, then...

Um, are you Dr. {@nickname}? Nice to meet you. I'm Jessica from Blacksteel Worldwide. Sorry... I'm really bad at introducing myself...

This seems a lot more effective than training by myself.

Doctor... I'm... I'm so happy you're honoring me... Just... let me cry it out for a bit, I'll be fine...

Ah, Doctor, does this mean you think I'm a great Operator? Thank you so much for all your help. You were by my side all the way...!

Just give your orders and I'll carry them out!

I won't let you down!

Stay focused... look straight ahead.

I'll definitely prove myself this time!

Standing by...

Haah?

Ughh...

All right...

Y- you'll pay for that!

Freeze!

Not one step backward.

I'll show them what I can do!

I'm going to climb to the top of the mountain. I won't stop halfway!

I... I really did it? I managed to protect everyone by myself?

I could do better. I can't get complacent just because we won!

Requesting medevac! I dragged everyone down... it's all my fault! Sorry! I'm sorry!

I wonder if the people at Rhodes Island are nice...?

Where are we going...?

I can do a little cooking...

Arknights.

Uh... S-Sorry, Doctor. I think I pushed myself too hard. My hands won't stop shaking... But I can hang these balloons on my own, no problem! Alright... Happy New Year, Doctor.

Good morning, doctor...

Back at those Blacksteel ceremonies, when we all got to meet the really highly-decorated mercs, I would find myself wondering if I could ever match them… But since coming to Rhodes Island, I'm always thinking about how much I'd like to go on the really tough missions with the senior operators.
