17 17 301 Flustered Researcher S-sorry, this is personal. I can't ask security for help. 1
18 18 301 Flustered Researcher P-please... Help me... 1
19 19 301 Hearing this, the scavenger squatting in the corner takes the photo and glances at it.
20 20 301 Scavenger Oh, this gal. I can give you the scoop, but what's in it for me? 2
21 21 301 The flustered researcher takes out a bag of compressed biscuits from her pocket and hands it to the scavenger. He quickly rips open the bag and swallows them whole.
22 22 301 Scavenger I just saw her go that way. 2

56 56 302 Family members share a certain bond. 57
57 57 301 Lee It's not that strange. Growing up with someone makes it easier to predict where they'll go. After all, you're familiar with their habits and how they think. 3

59 59 301 Liv Really? I don't have any practical experience in this matter. 1

61 61 301 Lucia You don't have any siblings, Liv? 2
62 62 301 Liv I have brothers and sisters, but we're not related by blood. 1
63 63 301 Liv If we did, maybe it would've been better... 1

82 82 301 Angel Where is she?! Why haven't I heard from her for so long? Her locator pinpoints her near this area... That's the only reason I've found this place. 1
83 83 301 Female Construct Didn't anyone tell you? She was wounded in battle and switched bodies in order to recover. I saw her go out this morning. Maybe she's on a mission. 2
84 84 301 Angel Does she still remember me? 1
85 85 301 Female Construct I don't think her memory data was damaged. She said "Hi" to me last night. 2

99 99 301 1 Angel A message... Sister? 1
100 100 301 She opens the message in a hurry. The four of you onlookers step forward and look carefully at the words on the screen.
101 101 301 Liadrin Sorry I haven't been in touch with you for so long, Angel.
102 102 301 Liadrin I was wounded in battle a few days ago. When I was at the rescue camp, I saw a winged mechanical angel. He told me about a power known as the Ascension-Network.
103 103 302 A winged... 104 (You feel a pain in your chest.) 104
104 104 301 Liadrin We were both researchers, but when we ran out of test subjects, they used me instead. Since then, I haven't been able to continue with my research...
105 105 301 Liadrin But now, I've been presented an opportunity to research the Punishing Virus. So, I've accepted his invitation.
106 106 301 Liadrin Farewell, Angel. I hope we see each other again in this life.
107 107 301 After reading the message, Angel staggers backward a few steps and falls to the ground again.
108 108 301 Angel ...The Ascension-Network? 1
109 109 301 Even though she does not know what she is talking about, she can still sense the danger.
110 110 301 Angel Sister... I will find you. I WILL! 1
111 111 301 Angel stands up, ignoring the dust on her body, turns back and dials a number in her contacts.
116 116 301 1 ??? Permission denied, Angel. How many times have I told you? Quit getting involved with your sister. You'll only hinder her in battle. I know it was against your wishes for her to become a Construct. 2
117 117 301 ??? But, think about your future career. You know what unemployment looks like. 2
118 118 301 Angel Hmph, then I won't beat around the bush. She's gone AWOL. Do you know where she is now? 1
127 127 301 1 ??? ...I can't reach her. I don't know what happened, but I'm going to dispatch a team to help you look for her. 2
128 128 301 ??? For your sake, I hope she comes back to her senses. After all, your sister is quite an accomplished soldier. We've put her talents in high regard. 2
131 131 301 Not long after terminating the call, three Constructs arrive by car. The car's navigation system clearly displays the coordinates of their destination.
132 132 301 DialogDisable Angel enters the car and proceeds en route to their destination, quickly disappearing out of sight.
138 138 301 DialogEnable 1 Lucia Looks like they went here. Let's get going, Commandant. 1
139 139 302 On it. 140
140 140 201 1 1031001 14
141 141 301 1 Liv But do you think she'll be able to find her sister? 1
142 142 201 1 500026
143 143 301 1 Lee If this really is the Ascendants' headquarters, I'm afraid this doesn't look good. 1
144 144 201 1 1031001 14
145 145 301 1 Liv clenches her hands and gives a look of sadness.
146 146 301 Liv Blood is complicated. When you grow up together, it brings you closer to one another... but in times like this, it also pushes you to the abyss. 1
147 147 201 1 500166
148 148 301 1 Lucia ...Blood. 1
149 149 301 This is the second time Lucia says this word. Is she still thinking about what happened to her sister, Luna?
150 150 302 Lucia... 151
151 151 301 Lucia I'm here, Commandant. 1
152 152 302 Are you thinking about your sister? 153 Did this topic remind you of something? 153
153 153 301 Lucia ...Yes. 1
154 154 301 Lucia I don't understand. Why did Luna become an Ascendant? 1
155 155 301 Lucia I heard that she was disposed of after failing to become a Construct. Did something happen? 1
156 156 301 Lucia Why is she with another me? If she is me... why did she choose to become an Ascendant? 1
157 157 302 Maybe she went through something that you didn't. 158
158 158 301 Lucia You mean... 1
159 159 302 The same person with different experiences... 160
160 160 302 ...will make different choices. 161
161 161 301 Lucia Different experiences? 1
162 162 301 Lucia If they could do it again... If they could live in a gentle environment... They wouldn't have chosen this path, would they? 1
163 163 302 Your choice is proof of that. 164
164 164 301 Lucia ...If only I could know what she went through, I might be able to understand why she made this choice. 1
165 165 301 Lucia But... 1
166 166 301 Lucia looks up and stretches her hand toward the distant sky. The sun hiding behind the clouds struggles to shine a ray of light between her fingers.
167 167 301 Lucia If I find out from her memories that all of this is a lie... and that my purpose belongs somewhere else... 1
168 168 301 Lucia ...Will I become someone like her? 1
169 169 302 You won't. 170 Maybe. 173
170 170 204 1 1
171 171 301 Lucia Are you sure, Commandant? 1
172 172 302 I believe in you. 176
173 173 301 Lucia If I really did, what would you do? 1
174 174 302 I don't know. 175 I'll find you. 175
175 175 204 1 1
176 176 301 Hearing this, she places her outreached hand on her heart. Her smile shows signs of doubt and bitterness.
177 177 301 Lucia She and I are the same person. I wouldn't be surprised if we'd make the same decision. Do you really believe in me? 1
178 178 302 Yes, I'm sure she would make the same decisions as you. 179
179 179 301 Lucia You mean... If she had the same experiences as I have, she would also be standing here as a member of the Gray Ravens? 1
180 180 301 Your affirmation does little to assuage Lucia of her worries.
181 181 301 Confusion of the unknown, the fear of loss, the possibility of parting after uncovering the truth...
182 182 301 All these worries cloud her heart, much like the sun above.
183 183 302 Whatever happens in the end... 184
184 184 302 I will respect your decision, Lucia. 185
185 185 301 Lucia Thank you, Commandant. 1
186 186 301 Lucia nods. Although the worries in her eyes remain, her smile widens faintly.

188 188 301 She turns and leads the rest of you to the target location.
189 189 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Her pace continues to be firm in conviction and, like a raven aimed at its target, she spreads her wings and soars into the cloud-covered sky.
