877301Dim moonlight covers the scarred earth in a veil of peace, obscuring the mountains of death for those still wandering out in the wilderness.
988301If time wasn't a measure of how long the explorers had left, it wouldn't be important for those hiding in the enclosed basement of the conservation area.
1099301AniZhuanchangBeginHere, the reference for measuring minutes and seconds is no longer a clock, but a sense of hunger.

131212301They are either guarding the conservation area outside or still on rescue missions, and Liv is no exception.
141313301Today, the new rescue team brought several injured refugees. Although they should have been happy to find new survivors, the increasingly scarce supplies make it impossible for them to celebrate.
151414301She wants to do something, but there is nothing she can do. She wants to speak with others, but her listeners have gone their separate ways.

222122301AniZhuanchangEndLivMiss Lindsey was rescued at noon, but she was seriously wounded.
232223301Liv...It seemed unreasonable to try to save a seriously injured patient with such a lack of materials, because it would only prolong her pain and would not change the outcome.
242324301LivBut I saw Miss Lindsey's desire and struggle in her eyes. Whenever she slightly regained consciousness, she would be looking for her partner.
252425301LivWhenever she found her, she would open her trembling mouth as if to say something...
262526301LivShe must have something she wants to say, that's why she worked so hard to do so...
272627301AniZhuanchangBeginLivSo I did my best to give her first aid. Her chances were slim, but I still hoped that a miracle could happen.

292829301AniZhuanchangEndAfter recording Lindsey's treatment, she quietly stares at her diary for a long time as she tries to find any potential opportunity from the limited content to make a better effort to save her life or reduce her pain.
302930301However, all possible opportunities for recovery are like stones sinking into a deep pool, leaving ripples of regret at the surface as she is unable to shake the difficulty of such a feat.
313031301AniZhuanchangBeginBut this doesn't cause Liv to give up hope. She continues to search, contemplating her experiences over the past few days and searching between the lines to find something that she can do.

818095301On the night prior to the blast from the Longinus Arsenal, the staff and residents of City 043's conservation area planned to evacuate south to City 044.
828196301During the evacuation, their team was attacked by Hetero-Creatures and had to return to stay with Gray Raven which had arrived later.
838297301Everyone who stays in City 043's conservation area owes their thanks to the residents. Without them, there would be no secure shelter, and Liv wouldn't have been able to remove the commandant's hematoma.
848398301AniZhuanchangBeginBut she still wouldn't have been able to save Orphee's life. Even if you hold the precious water of life in your palm, without a container, you can only watch as it drips from your grasp until it dries up.

8786101301Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
8887102301Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy. Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced.
8988103301She has seen those who look down on life and death, as well as their calm expressions of indifference.
9089104301But Liv cannot do it. She chose the more cumbersome path.
9190105301During countless helpless nights, she has let silent tears burn her wounds and pain, giving her motivation to work harder to build a better tomorrow.
9292107301Constructs have a stronger ability to fight and survive than humans. However, they cannot survive this forsaken catastrophe alone.
9393108301The Punishing Virus... Casualties of war... Insufficient maintenance chambers and power... Unrepairable frames...
9494109301Aside from these obvious dilemmas, the hearts of Constructs will never waver just from a change of frames...
9595110301Despite not having wounds, Lucia tightly clenches her blade among the crowd.
9696111301Even Lee, a Construct of few words, has become even more reticent. Aside from discussing rescues and missions, he remains silent for most of the day.
9797112301...
9898113301With the birth of the twins and the impact of the Hetero-Hive Mother, Gray Raven has been unable to move about freely.
9999114301Without the commandant, the three people here would be among the list of names engraved on the monument.
100100115301But when Vanessa learned about the commandant's actions, she only sneered at it.
101101116301Regardless of how much you contribute while you're alive, you're worthless when you're dead.

110110125301There are only 11 critically wounded because most of the others could not make it to the moment when rescue came.
111111126301The 13-year-old boy, Pulana, passed away the night before yesterday. However, his name is still on the record because Liv has been too busy to update it.

145146161202121
146147162301Quiet as it is, Akane's cry makes its way through the basement, stirring up empathy from the other refugees.
147148163301Faced with the mounting disaster, everyone is nothing but rubble amidst the rising flood of despair, leaving no hope for retreat.
148149164301If Babylonia's next rescue attempt is futile, what will happen to the commandant and the people stranded here?

150151166301LivIf there's anything I can do...
151152167301She desperately awaits good news, hoping that she can have the power to end everyone's suffering. But time and again, she is helpless in changing reality.

264265280301LivWe can only do our best.1
265266281301Lucia(Nods)2
266267282301LuciaHere. I found some of the cloth and cotton you requested earlier.2
2672682832041
268269284301Liv...Thanks.1
26927028520425
270271286301LuciaAside from this, there's also some not-so-good news...2
271272287301LuciaThe conservation area at City 044 was ambushed by a horde of Hetero-Creatures.2
272273288301Liv...I heard that from the refugees that just arrived. What happened?1
273274289301LuciaSome Hetero-Creatures learned to attack as a group and began attacking where people gathered.2
274275290301LuciaWe stayed there for a whole day before we could get rid of all the Hetero-Creatures.2
275276291301LuciaParts of the conservation area were damaged, leaving only one Construct to repair the CPF and evacuate the refugees gathering there.2
276277292301Liv...Looks like there are fewer and fewer temporary refuges.1
2772782932012500026-400
278279294301LeeThe twins are still at City 041, which puts us in danger.2
279280295301LeeIf these rescue missions from Babylonia keep failing, we'd better prepare an evacuation plan just in case.2
280281296301LeeNow there are more people gathered in this conservation area than in any other place, which poses an issue for evacuation.2
281282297301LeeThere are few targets left that can be destroyed traveling north along the west coast.2
282283298301LeeWe'll be defenseless if we're attacked by either the twins or a horde of Hetero-Creatures.2
283284299204119
284285300301LivIf these rescue missions from Babylonia keep failing...1
285286301202121
286287302301The three stand silently at the door to this hypothetical question. No one dares to open it and reveal what awaits.
287288303301At first, the team stayed on the surface to help those in the same situation while also giving the commandant some time to heal.
288289304301They believed that there was still a ray of life in the dark depths. They believed the enemy could be defeated, that people would survive, and that the commandant would return to the team.
289290305301But these expectations, struggles, and prayers have had no impact on the growing sense of despair.
29029130620111031001400
29129230720125001665-400

296298313301Liv...Lucia?1
29729931420425
298300315301LuciaIt's nothing... Just that, if they continue to use the same tactics for conducting rescue missions, it'll only lead to more deaths.2
299301316301LuciaPerhaps, they just need some time to adjust their tactics.2
300302317301Lucia solemnly looks at the nearby room—the room where the Gray Raven Commandant remains resting in a coma.
301303318301Lucia...But we should still be prepared. Once rescue...2

3083103254012212
309311326301A refugee with keen eyes spots the rice brought back by Lucia and cries out in surprise.
3103123272011500166
3113133283011LuciaI found this rice in some ruins. We're going to make porridge tonight.1
3123143292011500425
3133153303011Young RefugeeWohoo! Quina! Get your pot! This sack of rice is enough to feed all hundred of us!1
314316331301His shouting gets the attention of those around him, who all stand up in surprise.

321323338301Conservation Resident BWant me to help make it? There should be an extra stove in the storage up top. Ours is out of gas. We just gotta bring it down here.1
322324339202121
32332534020115001662
3243263413011LuciaOkay, I'll go get it.1
325327342301LuciaI'll also collect some purified rainwater. It's been raining nonstop the past few days, so there should be more than enough water.1
3263283432011500093
3273293443011Refugee LeaderThen the rest of us will sit here and rub the rice ears with our hands to remove the husks.1

3303323472011500093
3313333483011Refugee LeaderYou can tell just by the sack. Besides, the Constructs had to fight to bring it. Are you too lazy to help them prepare it?1

340342357301AniZhuanchangEndEveryone begins to engage in joyous conversation as everyone lines up to take strands of rice and begins husking them in every corner of the base.
341343358301Shortly after, the water, purifier, and cooking implements are ready. Everyone puts the husked rice into the water for it to be filtered and then set to boil over the fire.
342344359301Only an old man is left holding rice. He stands up weakly and attempts to address the crowd, but his feeble voice fails to garner anyone's attention.
343345360301LivMr. Cali... What's wrong?
344346361301Since being diagnosed with cancer, he has refused to eat.
345347362301CaliCan I... hold onto... this?
346348363301LivOf course. It's meant for everyone to eat.
347349364301CaliNot... eat. Just... save.
348350365301He shouts with all his strength, but only intermittent syllables come out of his lips. He was already malnourished before refusing to eat. Now, he's more like a candle in the wind, as if he would go out any moment.
349351366301Liv...Of course.
350352367301These days, the old man gave his own food or the food he could get to others. This was his only request. Liv has no reason to refuse.
351353368301She doesn't understand why, but seeing him struggling to speak, she refrains from asking any more questions. She just helps him sit beside the bed next to his wife.
352354369301Old LadyThank you, young lady. My legs aren't what they used to be. I told him not to stand, but he's as stubborn as a mule.
353355370301The elderly couple sits together holding their rice and looking happily at the crowd gathered around the large pot.
354356371301The embers in their eyes, which were extinguished by despair and rain, ignited once more. People danced among the steam, dispelling their depression over the past few days.
355357372301The sobbing that echoed throughout the basement had stopped. The bedridden people slowly open their eyes to catch rays of light in their dim vision.
356358373301In this dark world, everyone gathers together to watch the small portable stove and the large cooking pot as they waft the delicious smell of rice porridge.
357359374301If hope were to manifest itself, this would surely be the embodiment of it.

3693713863011JinHi.2
370372387301She tries to squeeze out a polite smile but fails.
371373388301JinLindsey just woke up.2
372374389301JinShe wanted to try some porridge and told me to join the others... But right after that... she...2
373375390301She bites her lower lip as tears begin to trickle onto the floor,
374376391204216
375377392301Jin...Just like you said. She won't make it through the night.2
376378393301Her sobbing becomes louder and louder. The people around her gradually quiet down as they're brought back to cold reality.

380382397301Some people say that the hospital walls have heard more repentance and prayer than churches.
381383398301But no matter how hard one prays in front of a life that is lost, the outcome won't change.

3873894043011Liv approaches Jin and holds her trembling hands.
388390405301But she knows that even if she manages to comfort Jin, the situation won't change for the crowd.
389391406301Faced with parting life, words of comfort are far too shallow.
390392407301When survivors laugh around the campfire, they can't forget the shadows behind them.
391393408301Light and shadow go hand in hand. If someone dies, it means someone will be saved.
392394409301If a person, especially a doctor, cannot calmly face the parting between life and death, it means that they will drown in their own regret one day.
393395410301But Liv knows that she cannot learn how to face this situation with reason alone.

3994014163011Once upon a time, an otherwise outgoing professor said this with a rare sigh—
400402417301???Optimism, calmness, indifference to life and death... These all help persuade ourselves, but we can't force others to maintain a positive outlook.1
401403418301???Don't deprive others of the right to be sad, nor discourage them to grieve, because persuasion is always more useful than force.1
402404419301???Especially you, Liv. I know you can't learn how to remain emotionless when treating lives that cannot be saved, so that's why I am telling you this.1
403405420301???I hope you can allow yourself to be sad and use this accumulated regret as motivation to save those you can.1
404406421301???This is also a kind of 'comfort for those who cannot be comforted.'1

412414428301When she looks up, Liv sees Chuck and his guitar suggesting something to Liv.
413416432301He nods, then closes his eyes and begins to strum his guitar.
414417433301Shortly after, the other musicians follow his lead and join in.
415418434301In the crowd, those who have learned this song before begin to sing along with the music.
416419435301CrowdLife is like a round lake... along the path we take.
417420436301CrowdRunning with the birds, playing in the dirt
418421437301CrowdI walk on and on, but where have you gone?
419422438301Hearing everyone sing, Liv faintly smiles and joins them.
420423439301Crowd & LivI'll become the wind's gaze, countless nights and days.
421424440301Crowd & LivChasing your wake... around the lake...
422425441301Crowd & LivJust stay a little longer... Don't walk away so somber...
423426442301LuciaThat song...
424427443301LuciaIt's a nice song. If only the commandant was awake to hear it...
425428444301LeeWe'll just have Liv sing it again when the commandant wakes up.
426429445301LuciaOkay. When that time comes... We can all sing together.
427430446301Lee...I'll pass.
428431447301LuciaHmm... I think the commandant wants to hear you sing.
429432448301Lee...
430433449301The music and hot porridge warm the hearts of the despondent crowd as they join in the chorus and clap along.
431434450301They find solace in the melancholic lyrics rather than rely on false hope.
432435451301They use the song to unload their grievances and shed tears, leaving only faint echoes of their cries.
433436452301ChuckSee? What'd I say?!
434437453301ChuckPlaying music might not fix anything, but getting your feelings off your chest is better than holding them in.
435438454301CaliThat song...
436439455301Listening to the song, the old man's lips begin to tremble and his eyes brim with tears.
437440456301LivWhat's wrong?
438441457301Old LadyHe's fine. An old man like him... He's probably just thinking about the past.
439442458301Old LadyAs people get older, some things become more clear, regardless of the song or a sack of rice...
440443459301She shivers and lights a precious rolled cigarette as her eyes sink into memories.
441444460301Old LadyDuring the Golden Age, livestock and farmland were run by machines. After the meltdown of the zero-point reactor, food sources were cut off.
442445461301Old LadyAfter such a long time, it was difficult for people to take up farming and raising livestock, but some people managed to do it.
443446462301Old LadyNot many people were able to while also fighting the Corrupted. People talked about taking seeds back to find safe places to plant crops.
444447463301Old LadyBut once there weren't any Corrupted, people desperate for food came to seize all of our hard work.
445448464301She raises her hardened gaze and looks around at the refugees sitting in the basement.
446449465301Old LadyJust like the great winter famine in the historical records, there was no stable yield of food for a long time. People could only take what they could get their hands on.
447450466301Old LadyWithout livestock or produce, we resorted to eating birds and mice.
448451467301Old LadyPeople even scavenged in areas with hordes of Corrupted, but few returned.
449452468301Old LadySo people began to breed something that they could raise quickly and that others hated.
450453469301She takes out the half-remaining rolled cigarette and draws something about four centimeters in length with her hands. She doesn't say what it was, but everyone understands what she meant.
451454470301Old LadyBut there wasn't much left to feed those pesky insects, so they couldn't raise enough to be made into protein blocks like the movies in the Golden Age.
452455471301Old LadyAnd, normally, people wouldn't have touched them. But worst came to worst, even those were taken.
453456472301Old LadyIf this went unchecked, we would've filled our stomachs with everything and there wouldn't be anything left. So rules were made and spread through word of mouth...
454457473301Old LadySeeds must be left behind. Offspring and fish eggs are not to be eaten. Plant roots must remain in the soil. Pregnant animals and their food are not to be disturbed unless there is an emergency.
455458474301Old LadyOnce people began to abide by these rules, we noticed some improvement. Animals could be seen in the mountains and forests, and seedlings sprout in areas that were harvested.
456459475301Old LadyIt helped us get through our darkest time. The old folks who lived through that era still remember it.
457460476301Old LadyBut the disaster didn't spare us. It only got worse every day... Sometimes people break the rules when they can longer take the hunger.
458461477301Old LadyAnd once the rules are broken, those that suffer have no choice but to do the same.
459463479301She takes a deep drag of her cigarette. Ash rolls down her fingers, but she doesn't seem to mind. She just sighs in the thick cloud of smoke.
460464480301Old Lady...Nothing I'm proud of.
461465481301Old LadyWe thought he was well off seeing him eat cheese next to a field he lived by.
462466482301Old LadyThat old geezer snuck into his field to steal food for us to eat, but didn't leave him any seeds. Cheese and his wife barely made it through the winter, but the baby in her belly didn't make it.
463467483301Old LadyThe first time we heard this song was when he was kneeling in his empty field... holding his wife who had fainted from crying as he sang to her.
464468484301Old LadyWe didn't have the heart to go up and confess what we had done. We sent him some supplies, but they moved away shortly after.
465469485301Old LadySince then, we've had the habit of leaving seeds for everything we eat. Even if no one cares about this rule, we can't break it ourselves.
466470486301Old LadyEven though the conservation areas have already been built, there's still room to raise crops and livestock there.
467471487301Old LadyBut as you all have seen, this stuff won't last very many days if anything bad happens.
468472488301She shakes her head, then snuffs out her cigarette.
469473489301Old LadyWell, enough of me rambling out these trifles of the past. The porridge should be ready now. Let's dig in.
470474490301Refugee ChildYeah!
471475491301The refugees who already become too preoccupied with thoughts of the long-awaited porridge to listen to her story suddenly spring to life.
472476492301Surprised by excitement, the Constructs resting in the nearby room walk out.
473477493301Construct SoldierLet's start serving everyone.
474478494301LivSure.
475479495301Construct SoldierEveryone, form a line. No need to push and shove.
476480496301Refugee ChildGot it!
477481497301Everyone grabs a spoon and lines up, holding their own tableware containers enthusiastically, paying extra attention that they receive their fair share.
478482498301Jin holds the porridge carefully, salutes the Construct Soldiers and Liv, then returns to Lindsey's bed.
479483499301Old Cali, having not eaten for three days, takes a bite out of his wife's porridge under her persuasion.
480484500301Stanley, Shrek, Fantine... Everyone except for the wounded who are still unconscious gets a bowl of warm porridge.
481485501301The heat from the bowl in their hands warms their spirit as people sit down and enjoy this rare delicacy.
482486502301LuciaLiv...
483487503301While the crowd is distracted by their meal, Lucia calls Liv aside in a low voice.
