I've finished organizing the files to be sent to other departments, and watered the plants... oh, here's your water, and I've asked the cafeteria to prepare the snacks. Don't worry, I've asked other operators first. There'll be no problem.

There's a little energy furnace next to my house. Ermi told me what it's for, but we usually use it to cook food, dry clothes, and get warm. People say the ancestor's blessing will be with you if you knock on the furnace twice before using it.

Djalls don't read minds, we don't suck out emotions, and we most certainly don't eat brains! Where did you hear all these crazy rumors? I'm gonna get angry if you say this stuff again, and I just might eat your brains out!

Ermi gave me this box to store the ancestors when I was looking for them in the city. Now, I use to to store large luggage. I want to know how it works, but Lich techniques are so complicated, it's hard to understand even if Ermi bares her soul to me.

Let me think how I should use this money... oh, hello, Doctor. This? Completely legitimate income that I earned by helping my friends solve their problems. What did I do? Nothing really special, just stuff like looking for missing pets, or helping someone organize their thoughts.

How have I been doing? It's easy enough for a Djall to earn praise, but earning trust is another matter... but I can hear it. Thank you for your trust, Doctor.

Dad and mom have been away for a while. Do I miss them? Hm... I guess I'm doing ok. I'm their daughter, but I'm not part of them. No reason to force them to stay with me when I can handle myself. I can feel their love, so I'll let them be.

A Djall must treat her own soul with care. Legends speak of a Djall who went mad because they were too callous with their soul, and was finally killed by the King of Sarkaz. I-I haven't seen it myself, of course, but it's important to stick to principles!

Are you sure you want to feel a Djall's touch? Alright, if you insist... look into my eyes... oh dear, I'm really nervous. It's like my heart's about to fly out of my chest. Maybe next time... I need time to prepare...

What a nice dream. I'm getting sleepy too...

Sorry I'm late! I was talking to the folks at HR and didn't notice the time... you're the Doctor, right? I'm Nymph. Feel free to come to me if there's anything you need help with!

Interesting. Can I take it? I would like to put it up in my room.

Thank you! I've only seen these medals on Military Commission folks before.

Let's learn more about what's in each other's minds, Doctor.

Do we really have to use force?

I see... don't worry, I'll think of something.

It's time to go. We can't wait forever.

Focus, Nymph... it's not that hard...

M-Me?

*sigh*...

I'm still nervous...

You can do it!

Look into my eyes!

Turn around, or your soul will shatter here.

I will chain your soul!

The lock has been opened.

Wow! It all seems to come so naturally to you.

I've learned a lot from working under you. Maybe I can pick up a trick or two.

Just let them go. It's time for us to go too.

Don't worry, I-I'll find a way...

It's so clean! It could become a really nice room with a little bit of work.

Enough messing around.

There's no key for the lock in your heart? Don't worry, I'll find it for you.

Arknights.

Smiles and laughter everywhere. It's making my heart melt... today is a day to celebrate, Doctor.

You should rest your mind, Doctor.

Looking back, it's sure been a busy year. Going back and forth Rhodes Island and Kazdel is putting a real toll on my legs. Tired? Not really, the satisfaction makes up for it. As for next year... I wouldn't think too much about it. There's no expectation without the unknown, is there?
