6 | 5 | 5 | 301 | DialogEnable | Two shafts of white light tear across the darkness that prevails in this land of snow. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | 6 | 6 | 401 | 2 | 885 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | 7 | 7 | 301 | Waves of snow part to either side to reveal a path as the vehicle is revved through the snow, evoking to mind the Exodus—where the Israelites walked through the Red Sea parted by Moses. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | 8 | 8 | 301 | The ice flakes and snow are now coming down at the speed of a shower, making it impossible for you to see the path ahead even with the windshield wiper working away at top speed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | 9 | 9 | 302 | We can't see a single thing... | 10 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | 10 | 10 | 301 | While you let out a defeated sigh from the front passenger seat, Bianca, fully concentrated behind the wheel, is in control of the accelerator and gear shift with astounding dexterity. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | 11 | 11 | 201 | 1 | 500533 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | 12 | 12 | 301 | 1 | Bianca | You seem like you have something to say, Commandant. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | 13 | 13 | 302 | I'm just a little surprised at how well you drive, Bianca. | 14 | Are we going to be able to make it to the research station just fine? | 16 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | 14 | 14 | 204 | 1 | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | 15 | 15 | 18 | 301 | Bianca | It's just something I have to be able to do for missions. You can't find a better driver than a Construct given the conditions. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | 16 | 16 | 204 | 1 | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | 17 | 17 | 301 | Bianca | So far so good, and we should be able to get there just fine if nothing happens on the way... | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | 18 | 18 | 301 | Bianca | I'm pretty used to weather like this from all the snowstorms I've had to brave. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | 19 | 19 | 302 | As a member of the Purifying Force, I assume? | 20 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | 20 | 20 | 204 | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | 21 | 21 | 301 | She shakes her head. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | 22 | 22 | 204 | 1 | 8 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
24 | 23 | 23 | 301 | Bianca | Not exactly... It's way before that... | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
25 | 24 | 24 | 301 | Bianca | I was a nun at the church before the Punishing Virus broke out, and... | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
26 | 25 | 25 | 401 | 1 | 36 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

32 | 31 | 31 | 502 | RImgBg1Shake | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
33 | 32 | 32 | 301 | Before Bianca even finishes her sentence, the vehicle takes a sharp fall. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
34 | 33 | 33 | 302 | !? | 34 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
35 | 34 | 34 | 401 | 1 | 50 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
36 | 35 | 35 | 301 | The fall sends your body plunging forward and the airbag from the front passenger seat popping out, blocking out your view entirely. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
37 | 36 | 36 | 301 | When the vehicle finally comes to a halt, you look up—and see that half of the vehicle is now in snow sludge. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
38 | 37 | 37 | 201 | 1 | 500533 | 5 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
39 | 38 | 38 | 301 | 1 | Bianca | Commandant, are you okay?! | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
40 | 39 | 39 | 302 | I-I'm fine... | 40 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
41 | 40 | 40 | 204 | 1 | 8 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
42 | 41 | 41 | 301 | Bianca | I am... very sorry. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
43 | 42 | 42 | 301 | Bianca | I didn't see that big hole just now... | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
44 | 43 | 43 | 204 | 1 | 5 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
45 | 44 | 44 | 301 | Bianca | My visual enhancement module is able to capture and recreate everything in my surroundings, except the hole was almost buried entirely out of sight by the snow... which is why I thought the ground was solid. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
46 | 45 | 45 | 401 | 800 | 2 | 885 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
47 | 46 | 46 | 402 | 885 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
48 | 47 | 47 | 301 | Bianca steps on the accelerator, but the wheels are just slipping in the sludge. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
49 | 48 | 48 | 302 | It wasn't your fault. | 49 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
50 | 49 | 49 | 301 | Failing to see hidden holes is a common occurrence when driving in the snow, not to mention that you've been driving through a snowstorm. If anything, you consider yourselves lucky for having come such a long way without anything going wrong. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
51 | 50 | 50 | 302 | What are we going to do now? | 51 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
52 | 51 | 51 | 301 | Bianca | I... think it's going to be very challenging for us to get the vehicle out now. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
53 | 52 | 52 | 301 | The standard procedure would first be to manually remove the snow from around the wheels, and then to place something on the ground to increase friction. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
54 | 53 | 53 | 301 | Considering the current precipitation and the fact that it's close to minus 50 degrees Celsius, however, you just don't think that's plausible, not to mention that the hole itself is about three-meter wide. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
55 | 54 | 54 | 302 | Seems like we'll have to go the rest of the way on foot, then. | 55 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
56 | 55 | 55 | 301 | This isn't your first time going on a mission in a polar region, and this much you know—every second spent out here puts you a step closer to death. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
57 | 56 | 56 | 301 | Looking down at the portable terminal on your arm, you see that you're less than two kilometers away from the research station—a distance shorter even than your usual morning jog, but more challenging in more ways than one. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
58 | 57 | 57 | 301 | Bianca | ...Roger that. We'll just come back later for the vehicle, then. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
59 | 58 | 58 | 301 | AniZhuanchangBegin | She doesn't need further explanation to know that this is the best option now. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
60 | 59 | 59 | 202 | 1 | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
61 | 60 | 60 | 101 | Assets/Product/Texture/Image/BgStory/Bgstory103.png | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

63 | 62 | 62 | 401 | 1 | 207 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
64 | 63 | 63 | 301 | AniZhuanchangEnd | You and Bianca manage to open the doors with some struggle. Then, after grabbing a case containing an inflatable tent and heater out of the trunk, you make your way out of the hole toward where your terminal is pointing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
65 | 64 | 64 | 201 | 1 | 500533 | 8 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
66 | 65 | 65 | 301 | 1 | Bianca | ... | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
67 | 66 | 66 | 301 | With the wind and snow ruffling your hair, you cast a glance at Bianca—who now looks more serious than ever. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
68 | 67 | 67 | 302 | Is everything okay? | 68 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
69 | 68 | 68 | 301 | Bianca | ...Yes. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
70 | 69 | 69 | 301 | After what seems like an eternity, she opens her mouth to speak again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
71 | 70 | 70 | 204 | 1 | 5 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
72 | 71 | 71 | 301 | Bianca | Again, Commandant... you have my apologies. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
73 | 72 | 72 | 301 | Bianca | None of these would have happened had I been more careful. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
74 | 73 | 73 | 302 | Don't be so harsh on yourself, Bianca. | 74 | It happens. | 75 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
75 | 74 | 74 | 76 | 301 | Bianca | I understand that blaming myself isn't going to help with anything—but we are risking your life out here in the snow, all because I didn't see the hole. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
76 | 75 | 75 | 301 | Bianca | It's something I totally should have seen coming. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
77 | 76 | 76 | 204 | 1 | 8 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
78 | 77 | 77 | 301 | Bianca | I'll keep it in mind and won't let it happen ever again. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
79 | 78 | 78 | 302 | Well, if you really are sorry... | 79 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
80 | 79 | 79 | 302 | I think I'd feel a lot better hearing the rest of your story from just now. | 80 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
81 | 80 | 80 | 204 | 1 | 7 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
82 | 81 | 81 | 301 | Bianca | You mean... about my past, right? | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
83 | 82 | 82 | 302 | The body apparently gets warmer when you listen to people talk. | 83 | I'm just curious. | 85 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
84 | 83 | 83 | 301 | This, of course, is an excuse with no root whatsoever in science. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
85 | 84 | 84 | 85 | 301 | Bianca | Is that so? | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
86 | 85 | 85 | 204 | 1 | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
87 | 86 | 86 | 301 | Bianca | Well then, if you insist... | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
88 | 87 | 87 | 301 | Clearing her throat, Bianca picks up the story from where she left off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
89 | 88 | 88 | 204 | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
90 | 89 | 89 | 301 | Bianca | When I was still a nun... | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
91 | 90 | 90 | 301 | Bianca | The church that raised me would always run short on supplies when winter came. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
92 | 91 | 91 | 301 | Bianca | We received supplies from the towns nearby because our church was a welfare facility built by local government organizations. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
93 | 92 | 92 | 301 | Bianca | Except our church was just way too far from everything else. It was all the way up the mountain, and people would always refuse to deliver supplies to us when there was a snowstorm. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
94 | 93 | 93 | 301 | Bianca | And whenever that happened, someone from the church or I would have to go to the towns alone to bring all the supplies back one batch at a time using the church's horse wagon. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
95 | 94 | 94 | 204 | 1 | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
96 | 95 | 95 | 301 | Bianca | The horse wagon was made of wood, and it was nothing short of a miracle that it was able to travel on snow. And trying to get the horses to behave themselves was a difficult task, too. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
97 | 96 | 96 | 301 | Bianca has a wry smile on her face as she recounts her past. You can only imagine how harsh it must have been for her. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
98 | 97 | 97 | 301 | Bianca | But I slowly grew used to it... and before I knew it, the snow and wind just didn't bother me anymore... | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
99 | 98 | 98 | 301 | Snapping back, Bianca lowers her head in guilt. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
100 | 99 | 99 | 204 | 1 | 8 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
101 | 100 | 100 | 301 | Bianca | Well... I suppose my overconfidence is what got us here in the first place. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
102 | 101 | 101 | 301 | Bianca | And looking back now, I guess I probably shouldn't have asked for you to be put on this mission with me in the first place, Commandant... | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
103 | 102 | 102 | 302 | But I wouldn't have been able to hear your story if you hadn't. | 103 | No, Bianca. You totally made the right choice. | 105 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
104 | 103 | 103 | 204 | 1 | 7 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
105 | 104 | 104 | 107 | 301 | Bianca | Is that all you really care about? | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
106 | 105 | 105 | 204 | 1 | 8 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
107 | 106 | 106 | 301 | Bianca | ... | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
108 | 107 | 107 | 204 | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
109 | 108 | 108 | 302 | You might have more experience acting on your own. | 109 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
110 | 109 | 109 | 302 | But we're a team now. | 110 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
111 | 110 | 110 | 301 | When one of us messes up, the other can help to right the wrong. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
112 | 111 | 111 | 301 | When one of us finds it difficult to move forward, the other can give a helping hand. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
113 | 112 | 112 | 301 | And when one of us can't see the path ahead, the other can help show a different path. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
114 | 113 | 113 | 204 | 1 | 8 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
115 | 114 | 114 | 301 | Bianca | ...You're absolutely right, Commandant. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
116 | 115 | 115 | 301 | Bianca | I really should stop thinking about what I'd do if I were on my own. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
117 | 116 | 116 | 301 | Bianca | Because things are different now... than they were before. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
118 | 117 | 117 | 204 | 1 | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
119 | 118 | 118 | 301 | Bianca | I might have had to deal with a lot of things on my own back then, but having you right here with me now... | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
120 | 119 | 119 | 204 | 1 | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
121 | 120 | 120 | 301 | Bianca | I guess I can just safely let all that go. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
122 | 121 | 121 | 302 | Glad you've come around, Bianca. | 122 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
123 | 122 | 122 | 302 | Alright, let's keep moving. | 123 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
124 | 123 | 123 | 202 | 1 | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
125 | 124 | 124 | 401 | 2 | 1514 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
126 | 125 | 125 | 301 | It's only when you've taken your first step into the knee-deep snow that it finally dawns on you what you're up against. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
127 | 126 | 126 | 301 | The polar suit you're in shields you from the wind and snow for the most part, but the icy air still manages to make its way up your torso through the unshielded parts of your body. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
128 | 127 | 127 | 301 | Normally, a trip through such a snowstorm would be a one-way trip to hell... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
129 | 128 | 128 | 301 | Because the trip—although only a few kilometers at best—is now a few more times as taxing as it would have been. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
130 | 129 | 129 | 301 | Fortunately, however, you're not alone. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
131 | 130 | 130 | 301 | Whenever you feel like you're about to reach the end of your rope, Bianca would be right next to you to hold your hand... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
132 | 131 | 131 | 301 | AniZhuanchangBegin | Her hands are not only reassuring, but also come with such determination that they seem to be able to melt the coldest of winters. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
133 | 132 | 132 | 101 | Assets/Product/Texture/Image/BgStory/Bgstory215.png | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
134 | 133 | 133 | 301 | AniZhuanchangEnd | After trekking for what seems like an eternity, you see Bianca stop in her tracks in front of you. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
135 | 134 | 134 | 201 | 1 | 500533 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
136 | 135 | 135 | 301 | 1 | Bianca | We're here, Commandant. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
137 | 136 | 136 | 301 | Casting light with the torch that comes with your polar suit, you see what stands before you—a long-abandoned research station. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
138 | 137 | 137 | 301 | Bianca | How are you feeling? Is everything okay? | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
139 | 138 | 138 | 302 | Doing just fine. | 139 | Think I'm almost at the end of my rope here... | 141 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
140 | 139 | 139 | 204 | 1 | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
141 | 140 | 140 | 143 | 301 | Bianca | That's great... Please wait here. I'll quickly go and see if this building is safe. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
142 | 141 | 141 | 204 | 1 | 5 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
143 | 142 | 142 | 301 | Bianca | You need to rest as soon as possible... Please hang in there. I'll quickly go and see if this building is safe. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
144 | 143 | 143 | 401 | 2 | 743 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
145 | 144 | 144 | 202 | 1 | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
146 | 145 | 145 | 301 | Bianca pushes the door open with her longsword in hand. Moments later, the door is pushed open again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
147 | 146 | 146 | 201 | 1 | 500533 | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
148 | 147 | 147 | 301 | 1 | Bianca | All clear, Commandant. I didn't pick up on the Punishing Virus or any life form here. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
149 | 148 | 148 | 301 | Bianca | We can stay here until the snowstorm passes. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
150 | 149 | 149 | 302 | Sounds like a plan. | 150 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
151 | 150 | 150 | 202 | 1 | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
152 | 151 | 151 | 301 | Prior to the Golden Age, humans established a number of facilities for scientific exploration in Antarctica and even entertained the idea of building a city here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
153 | 152 | 152 | 301 | But after humans left for Babylonia, most of the research stations previously built were deserted—and even with the deployment of Babylonia's expedition in the region, only a handful of the deserted research stations begin to operate again as bases. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
154 | 153 | 153 | 301 | AniZhuanchangBegin | Those that remain deserted have since become reminders of a period of time when humans still admired the spirit of discovery and were audacious enough to want to conquer Antarctica—and temporary shelters for those coming here down the road. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

159 | 158 | 158 | 401 | 2 | 754 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
160 | 159 | 159 | 301 | AniZhuanchangEnd | As soon as you push the door open, all the dust that has been sitting inside over the years drifts up and hits you straight in the face, causing you to cough. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
161 | 160 | 160 | 505 | Assets/Product/Effect/Prefab/FxUi/FxUiStoryNew/FxUiStorySandNew.prefab | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
162 | 161 | 161 | 301 | With the electricity cut off, the lights and heaters are no longer operational. Devoid of mattresses and other household items—and made worse by the dark night and snow out there—the room comes across as eerily empty. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
163 | 162 | 162 | 301 | The building itself, however, is structurally sound as it was built in accordance with the strictest of standards back then. While whistles of wind can be heard here and there, the place overall makes for a wonderful temporary shelter nonetheless. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
164 | 163 | 163 | 301 | AniZhuanchangBegin | Ready to spend the night here, you and Bianca set up the tent and beds. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
165 | 164 | 164 | 101 | Assets/Product/Texture/Image/BgStory/BgStory0.png | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
166 | 165 | 165 | 301 | AniZhuanchangEnd | You brought the tent because it's inflatable and portable, but you only brought one single heater along to make it easier for you to travel on foot. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
167 | 166 | 166 | 301 | To keep both of you warm, you and Bianca nestle as closely as you can and lie down next to each other. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
168 | 167 | 167 | 301 | To keep your limbs warm, the two of you turn to face each other. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
169 | 168 | 168 | 201 | 1 | 500533 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
170 | 169 | 169 | 301 | 1 | Winds whizz away beyond the dark drapes of night. With the light from the heater, you can see Bianca staring back at you with her eyes... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
171 | 170 | 170 | 301 | Her eyes—a bluish yellow—are redolent of gems hidden under a sheet of ice, waiting to be discovered by treasure hunters. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
172 | 171 | 171 | 204 | 1 | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
173 | 172 | 172 | 301 | Bianca | Ha... | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
174 | 173 | 173 | 301 | She laughs softly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
175 | 174 | 174 | 302 | What's the matter? | 175 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
176 | 175 | 175 | 204 | 1 | 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
177 | 176 | 176 | 301 | Bianca | This sure is a first... | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
178 | 177 | 177 | 301 | Bianca | This is not the first time I've had to spend the night outside a conservation area for a mission. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
179 | 178 | 178 | 301 | Bianca | But I've never had to do this... with someone else. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
180 | 179 | 179 | 301 | Bianca | I'm actually feeling something funny on the inside. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
181 | 180 | 180 | 302 | It takes some getting used to. | 181 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
182 | 181 | 181 | 204 | 1 | 8 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
183 | 182 | 182 | 301 | Bianca | Uhm... is that so? | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
184 | 183 | 183 | 301 | She says as she closes her eyes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
185 | 184 | 184 | 204 | 1 | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
186 | 185 | 185 | 301 | Bianca | Please hold your hand out, Commandant. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
187 | 186 | 186 | 301 | Bianca holds out her own hand as she suddenly asks of you. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
188 | 187 | 187 | 301 | Bianca | I'll be able to monitor your body temperature and heartbeat when sleeping if we keep our hands together. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
189 | 188 | 188 | 302 | Do we really have to do this...? | 189 | Sure. | 194 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
190 | 189 | 189 | 204 | 1 | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
191 | 190 | 190 | 301 | Bianca | Your. Hand. Please. Commandant. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
192 | 191 | 191 | 301 | Bianca says with a big smile on her face, but her tone seems to suggest that she'll not take no for an answer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
193 | 192 | 192 | 301 | Deep down, however, you know that she's genuinely worried about you. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
194 | 193 | 193 | 302 | Fine... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
195 | 194 | 194 | 301 | You hold your hand out as told and put it on Bianca's. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
196 | 195 | 195 | 204 | 1 | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
197 | 196 | 196 | 301 | Bianca | This will do. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
198 | 197 | 197 | 204 | 1 | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
199 | 198 | 198 | 301 | Bianca | Now, have a good night's sleep, Commandant. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
200 | 199 | 199 | 301 | Bianca | Because there is more traveling down the road when we wake up. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
201 | 200 | 200 | 202 | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
202 | 201 | 201 | 401 | 1 | 36 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
203 | 202 | 202 | 301 | And with it, you quickly grow sleepy. All that traveling did seem to take a toll on you. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
204 | 203 | 203 | 301 | With the snowstorm still raging on, you feel chills down your spine every now and then. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
205 | 204 | 204 | 301 | Surprisingly, however, you fall asleep a lot faster than you do back at Babylonia. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
206 | 205 | 205 | 301 | Then, right when you're on the verge of entering dreamland... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
207 | 206 | 206 | 301 | You feel something touching you that's not Bianca's hand... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
208 | 207 | 207 | 301 | Something that passes through the gaps in between your fingers and holds your hand tightly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
209 | 208 | 208 | 301 | It feels cold and hard... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
210 | 209 | 209 | 301 | Yet through that icy shell, you just feel its warmth... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
211 | 210 | 210 | 301 | 1 | AniZhuanchangBegin | The warmth you can't help but want to hold on to. |
