It's called Honkai, and it's something that just wants to kill everyone. Sometimes, it causes natural disasters. Other times, it makes everyone sick. A lot of times, it creates and sends monsters and beasts.

That sounds dreadful...

[ and she is afraid to ask if it was defeated because you're DEAD, so like very possibly not. ]

I hope that the surgery wasn't too hard on you.

[ she would be right....

elysia flashes a peace sign. ]

The worst side effect was my ears changing, but I think they're cute.

Oh.

[ BLINKS... ]

What changed about them? [ some girls are elves, that's normal. ]

They were like human ears before, but after, they changed to be more like elves.

That's an oddly specific change...

Right? But harmless in comparison to what some of the other side effects could be. Kevin's body temperature was lowered so much he started to freeze the area around him before he could control it.

Oh my... But he did learn to control it eventually?

He did! People can be near him, but he can't really touch anyone for too long.

[ there's a sense of sadness here. ]

That sounds very difficult, still. Skinship can be so important.

Right? He has someone he loves, so it's even worse. Do you have anyone like that, Lailah?

Oh... No, those of us in the Sisterhood have dedicated ourselves to the Lord above anyone else.

I have people I'm very fond of, but—I don't think much about love.

Does your Lord not allow for those kind of relationships, or is it a personal choice? I don't think romance is necessary for everyone, but I do think love is.

It isn't... not allowed, I suppose...

Relationships likely just aren't for me, though.

Is that so? If that's your choice, that's fine. Will you tell me about your friends? What of your family?

Well, I consider the Sisterhood to be my family! [ families are implied to exist in blue archive and yet also do not make any sense. so this is as close as she can get. ] Sister Sakurako is our leader, and she's wonderful, but... prone to being misunderstood. Then there's Sister Mari, who's so kind and patient that you'd think you met a real angel!

And as for friends, that would be Ui! She's a bookworm. They even call her the magician of the old library because she spends so much time in there.

Why is Sakurako misunderstood? What does she do? Mari sounds so lovely... an angel in the flesh, only to shine more with her halo, I bet. Ui sounds like a cutie. Anyone who loves books is hard not to love, I think.

[ she's so happy to hear all these kind words about her beloved friends!!! elysia is the best and she now trusts her with her life. ]

Sakurako is very traditional and doesn't keep up with the latest trends. Other girls have a hard time relating to her priorities, that's all.

[ lailah, your standards... lailah, your standards!!

elysia nods. ]

If that's what she's comfortable with, that's fine, but I wonder if Sakurako wants to connect with the girls she leads?

I think that she does. Don't we all wish to connect to others?

But it's not a journey I can take for her.

Hmm... deep down, we all do, to at least one person.

It is her own journey. I just hope she'll take it if she wants to.

Me too.

[ hum. ]

I've only been able to watch over everyone when they're in public spaces, but—it seems that you've been able to connect with so many on the other side. I'm so glad to see it.

I tried where I could. If I could touch any of them and they'd remember me after we parted at the end of this, nothing would make me happier.

I'm sure they'll remember you for the rest of their lives, if that's where they choose to return.

I'd love that, but I'd be okay even if they didn't. Meeting everyone here, meeting you, is something I wouldn't exchange.
