Ahh... What a nostalgic feeling!
Amiya, was it?
——
Ah, ahaha! I see... So that's what's going on.
I remember now, Amiya.
...What?
I've already gotten what I came for. You can all go now. Shoo.
You...!
W...?
... What, do you lot want to stay here and die? That's perfectly fine by me. You're all free to do as you please.
...
We're falling back. Let them go. Talulah's orders.
...?
Forget it. Things get boring when they get dragged out too long. I hate being bored, that's all there is to it.
However, I do look forward to seeing you again, Amiya.
As well as... that person.
What...? !
Next time, I will hear the truth from you, {@Nickname}.
Bye~
What... Why... is she doing this?
[Delay=0.5]
Reunion... they've left.
--We've long missed the rendezvous time.
Retreat back to Rhodes Island... immediately.
...
I'll escort... the Operators in the back.
Amiya...
I'm fine.
... All right..
Go, Amiya.

... Boss...?
Where are the others...
Nearl and the others have already broken out with Amiya and Dr. {@nickname}.
Those who stayed behind...
... They're all gone.
🔍
... What...
We're the only two left.
I remember now... That, that freak... Talulah... single-handedly...
She knocked away our Guards like they were toy bricks...
That monster cut through our Defenders as if they were butter...
Hush... Your wounds are deep.
The Catastrophe...! She is Catastrophe incarnate... How, how else could she have reduced our squads to ashes in an instant...
Even though I saw it with my own eyes, I can't... I can't believe it...
The screams... Aagh... Gaaaah...
Snap out of it!
I'm so sorry... I, I don't know how...
Calm down.
I gave you some emergency treatment.
... Boss... what happened to your arm...?
At least I still have one I can use.
Boss... You should go. I'm sure you'll be able to break your way out.
We only managed to stall her for a few minutes.
Until Dr. {@nickname} and Amiya are safe, I cannot go.
🔍
I have to stop that monster first.
Boss... I also...
The price of your life... was paid with my arm.
If you can live even a single minute longer, it will be worth it.
...
I'll be right back. Take care of yourself.
🔍
Boss... I'm sorry... that I'm so unworthy.
Amiya...
I'm sure you'll be able to... make everyone's dreams...
...
They're all... I...
... ...
... Amiya?
... ... Amiya?

Oh, huh?
What's the matter?
N-nothing... I just suddenly felt...
Grief...
*sniff*... Urk...
Grief... huh...
Aauugh...
... Don't cry...
At least... for now.
Someone once said to me...
Tears... should be saved for when the war is over.
Now... is not the time.
Nnh... Ugh... Nn...
