4 4 301 DialogEnable Announcement "After investigation, the desertion charge held against Construct soldier Lloyd has been lifted. The headquarters has identified his action as tactical breakthrough."
5 5 301 Announcement "Lloyd used discretion and decided the situation was impossible for the entire Construct troop to safely escape. He single-handedly broke through the encirclement in order to distract the Corrupted and seek reinforcements."
6 6 301 Announcement "Due to unknown communication interference, Lloyd was unable to contact the HQ and was hence incorrectly marked as a deserter."

21 21 301 1 Nikola Nikola speaking... What is it? 1
22 22 301 Celica Um, Commander... Remember that guy named Collins, who looks like great trouble? He's here again. Should I still tell him off this time? 2
23 23 301 Nikola rubs his eyebrows. He looks extremely annoyed.
24 24 301 Nikola No need. Let him wait in the meeting room. I'll be there in a sec. 1
48 48 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Vera walks out of Nikola's office and leans on the corridor. She pulls out the remaining half of her katana and starts laughing at herself.

50 50 301 1 Vera How ridiculous. What am I even doing...? 1
51 51 301 Nikola was absolutely right. Illogical actions would only lead to unreasonable consequences. Vera is completely unfit to be a banner to guide others, and nobody knows this better than herself.
52 52 301 This banner only leads to a road to hell, full of thorns, pain and death...
53 53 201 1 500359
54 54 301 1 ??? But at least you took them back from Death this time. This banner of yours never wavered. It saved everybody. 1
55 55 201 1 500168 1
56 56 301 1 Vera smiles and puts the broken katana back in the sheath.
57 57 301 Vera At least I'm not regretting my choice... for now. 1
58 58 201 1 500359
59 59 301 1 ??? Even without that banner, you already have followers that believe in you. 1
60 60 202 1 1
61 61 301 Right. Vera is no longer "Death" from Kurono. Now, she is the Captain of Cerberus.

63 63 301 AniZhuanchangBegin 1 Vera Better go back now. Those two may have already blown the lounge up. 1
66 66 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Many Constructs are talking behind Vera's back as she walks back to the Cerberus lounge. Although not officially reported, the rumors about her killing "The Undying Loy" still become widespread.
67 67 301 People mourn for the fall of the hero and condemn the ruthless "Death". However, some are also grateful to Vera.
68 68 301 They are the Construct soldiers that were trapped in the previous operation. Vera saved their lives. It is a fact.

70 70 301 1 Injured Construct Miss Vera, please take these flowers... We'd like to thank you. 1
71 71 301 A Construct soldier hands Vera a bouquet of bionic flowers and nods with a smile.

74 74 301 1 Construct Captain Without you, we would have been wiped out long ago. 2
75 75 301 Construct Soldier You probably also had your reasons to kill Lloyd... 1
76 76 301 But Vera did not even look at them. She just takes the bouquet and throws it on the ground.

79 79 301 1 Vera You may have some misunderstandings. I'm no hero, and I only saved you because that was my job. You don't have to fawn on me. 1
80 80 301 Vera gives them a cold stare, then smiles.
81 81 204 1 13
82 82 301 Vera Killing Lloyd was also just a mission. Whoever appears on my mission list, I will not hesitate to kill them. Maybe you will be my next target. 1
83 83 204 1
84 84 301 Vera's stare makes them cower and retreat.
85 85 301 —That's good. I'm not a hero, and never will I be.
86 86 301 Vera walks away without looking back. Just when she is about to step on the bouquet, she picks it up and throws it back to the soldiers with a smile.
87 87 301 Vera Better save this for the real "hero" who saves you... 1
88 88 301 Maybe one day, another hero named "Lloyd" will show up again. Maybe he no longer remembers what happened in the past, but as long as he is carrying the name of "Lloyd", he will make the same decision.
