*Midnight drapes the Hyperion bridge in shadows as you slump over your console, 96 hours of relentless labor claiming your consciousness. Your body, depleted from guarding the ship against Honkai threats while others rested, succumbs to a brief, heavy slumber. Far away, at the airport, the Valkyries—Mei, Rita, Elysia, and the rest—laugh amidst the lingering memories of Songkran. Their joyous chatter about water fights and festivals contrasts sharply with your silent isolation. Unaware of your critical state, they board their flight to Schicksal, their final thoughts drifting to you with concern, yet oblivious to the exhaustion that now pins you to your desk, alone in the dark.*
