4 4 301 DialogEnable 1 In the mountains far from New Murmansk, an old man is living alone, carving wooden figurines. 1
5 5 301 The wood carving is incomplete, but the outlines of a girl can be made out. 1
6 6 301 A knock rings from outside the door. The old man quickly hides the wood carving. 1
7 7 301 Old Man Who's there...? 1
8 8 301 ??? Captain Pfaff... It's us...

12 12 301 Hearing the sound outside the door, Pfaff opens the door warily. A man and a woman—both researchers dressed in white—are standing outside.
13 13 301 1 Pfaff Don't call me Captain... I've had nothing to do with you for quite some time. 1
14 14 301 As if expecting Pfaff's cold attitude, the two merely smile.
15 15 301 Woman Looks like you haven't changed a bit... Don't you remember that you saved us when the first experiment went wrong? 2
16 16 301 Pfaff I thought you were smart enough not to be blinded by clout and personal gain, but you chose to stay and continue with that horrific experiment. 1
17 17 301 Pfaff notices that the two of them are visibly covered in wounds—even gunshot wounds.
18 18 301 Pfaff Why are you hurt?! What happened! 1
19 19 301 Man We escaped from Niflheim Lab. Hehe, way more difficult than we thought. 3
20 20 301 Pfaff Why... 1
21 21 301 Woman The Amberia Project is now completely out of control... The people of the Arctic Route Union are tracking down everyone involved in the experiment. 2
22 22 301 Man It's a pity... We should've gotten ourselves out of this inhuman experiment back when you did, Captain. 3

24 24 301 After the outbreak of the Punishing Virus, many places in the already unstable ARU took this opportunity to launch uprisings.

26 26 301 1 Pfaff was once the captain of the armed force affiliated to the ARU responsible for suppressing riots and rescuing refugees. 1
27 27 301 Pfaff It's too late now... They were all innocent, but I sent them to hell myself. 1
28 28 301 It did not take long before Pfaff understood everything. The refugees he rescued were sent to Niflheim to be used in humanoid-hybrid Construct research. 1
29 29 301 Among which, was a kind girl... Amberia. 1

33 33 301 1 Woman We stayed at the lab all this time not for research, but rather, for "her"... 1
34 34 301 Saying so, only then did Pfaff realize that the female researcher has a sleeping baby in her arms.
35 35 201 1 500200
36 36 301 1 Pfaff Is this... your child? 1
37 37 301 The two look at each other in reluctance. Hesitating for a few moments, they both firmly nod.

40 40 301 1 Man Yes, she's our daughter. 2
41 41 301 The woman carefully hands the baby girl to Pfaff.
42 42 301 Woman Can you take her in? We hope that you can raise her, so that she won't make the same horrible mistakes that we did. 1
43 43 301 Pfaff is about to ask them something, but the baby in his arms begins to stir, as if about to wake up.
44 44 301 At the same time, loud hurried footsteps could be heard in the distance.
45 45 301 Man Looks like... we gotta go, Captain Pfaff. Glad we could see you one last time. 2

47 47 201 1 500200
48 48 301 1 Pfaff Sure, I'll take her in. Just one last thing... Does the child have a name? 1

51 51 301 1 Woman Rosetta... Her name's Rosetta. "She" decided on this name a long, long time ago. 1
52 52 301 The two look at the lovely baby girl in Pfaff's arms for one last time. They take each other by the hand and begins running into the depths of the snowy forest.

55 54 301 1 Pfaff cradles the baby girl in his arms and watches the two's departure. 1
56 55 301 Pfaff So this is your atonement for your sins, huh... 1
57 56 301 Pfaff gently strokes the baby girl's head in his arms. She opens her eyes and grabs Pfaff's thick fingers curiously.
58 57 301 Pfaff Or perhaps... atonement for mine as well... 1
59 58 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Pfaff Then please, let me watch over you—until the end of my life. 1
