What's up, Doctor? Me, I'm just on standby.

My shield? Fun fact: I personally provide a portion of the energy it needs.

What I look like beneath the mask? Well, I... Actually, let's keep it secret for a bit longer.

Man, nothing better than a break after you finish a mission.

Doctor, if I get to know you better, I figure my shield's gonna get even sturdier.

Course I know where my limit's at. But I don't want Yato to worry about me, which is what matters. We'll worry about the rest some other time!

There's always the need for guys like me, you know? Nah, I'm not trying to act high and mighty. What I'm saying is: when you have a VIP plus a lot of danger, you need a guy to stand between them, that's all.

Sometimes you've just gotta take off the mask and catch a breather.

Defender Noir Corne, reporting for duty. You need VIP protection, I'm your guy.

Cool... So this stuff is what Grandpa Rangers was talking about earlier.

We bringing friends?

I'm gonna get even stronger!

Holding the line is a Defender's most important job!

We're doing it!

C'mon, say something.

What's up?

I've got this!

Here I come!

Watch it, buddy!

Reinforce defenses!

Even guys like me are happy to get through tough battles like these.

That was all right.

Well, we managed.

This wouldn't have happened if I'd worn my good mask! God dammit!

Alright, let's take a breather.

Yeah?

You wanna get some drinks after work?

Arknights.

It's these kinds of days I love the most. Everyone has a blast getting together, and we're off work. C'mon, Doctor, you gotta try this burdenbeast offal flambé while it's still fresh from the pan! Whoa, whoa, I don't think Dr. Kal'tsit's gonna like you drinking that much, y'know?

Nothing outta the ordinary, Doctor.

With all the years I've spent at Rhodes Island, I know exactly what's left on the agenda today. The Doctor's still got mad business, alright? Can't keep 'em any longer. Everyone, a toast to the Doctor, who's spent another year working hard for us! To you!
