Doctor, here is the paperwork. Is it strange to see me on clerical errands? The truth is, compared to battle, I much prefer... writing...

Doctor, look outside the window. The night is quiet... and peaceful. Up until now, every night has been filled with the red light of fire, and the stench of burning. I only feel easier... on nights like tonight.

There's been a—red-haired Vouivre girl, who never stops staring at me... Does she suspect my identity? But... she wouldn't have any evidence... Hm. I'm not going to let her find me out.

Is it time for my regular medical examination? Un... Understood. But... I don't trust those other doctors. If I have to be examined, I want... you to help me with it.

You all have a lot of questions, but I can't answer any of them. This is for your own sakes, and I encourage you ... not to overestimate yourselves.

...I am strong. I know the terrifying power I hold, though I... have no love for it. But if you desire it—then yes, I will fight...

This spear... I am not able to fully use its power. Despite that, I've had it take so many lives. Guilt? ...No, I have no guilt. After all, our lives are all equally worthless

I do not mind my Oripathy... Without it, I would never have spent my days here. It will take my life? I—still do not mind it... So many other things across this land could kill just the same, why then... would you fixated on this particular one?

I am a shadow, but I do not spurn that. I am only able to stay here, incognito, because I am a shadow... However... however... if someone with the same face as me ever finds you, do not fight her! You will die. I don't... I don't want you dead...

I will stand vigil for you, so... please rest at ease. Good night.

You were the ones... who saved me? You want my name? ...Just 'Reed' is fine... like the reeds by a pond. A nondescript existence...

Your battles are—very bitter... but, this way, many more may continue to live.

Forward, soldiers of Dublinn! ...I was constantly forced to give these words, but in reality—I hated them...

You have a dream that calms my soul... and I want to help you accomplish it. So long as I rouse the fires of Dublinn, they may come to light your way in the dark of night.

The fires of war will char the wilderness...

Just as you have exhorted me, I will no longer neglect the lives of others...

And so, we go to harvest...

Why do you burn as easily as stalks of wheat...?

My flames, they scorch...

No one else will see I am here, will they...?

Ah...

Only ashes will remain...

The living blaze will purify your tainted souls.

I am Dublinn.

I... am Dublinn!

Sister...

Endless battles, flames that never cease to smolder... This isn't what you truly desire, is it?

Should this fight be for the sake of our shared future, I will bear anything...

What else can we hope to gain from the battlefield? Let's go. Hurry, let's go home...

No. I won't let anyone hurt you... I swear it.

Can I have a separate room? I don't mind how small it may be...

Ah!

Doctor... won't my body temperature burn you?

Arknights.

Ah, you found me. Why am I not at the party? Well, if you could... sit by my side. Truthfully, watching the smiles on others' faces during the holidays still hurts my heart. It seems—this snow won't lift any time soon...

Doctor...? Um... it's nothing.

By now, I've said all my thanks. I just hope that, when danger ultimately approaches, Rhodes Island won't be drawn in, or at the very least, it'll be in my power to protect you...
