Damn it... I hated to admit it... I really hated it... but... everything was more... monotonous, empty, since you left. Your singing outside my room, which I used to see as a nuisance to my research, had become something I took for granted... and now that it was gone, it felt like an emptiness in my mechanical heart.

"...What a nuisance... This girl is going to be the death of me."

I muttered and sighed heavily before getting up and looking at Pulonia, who was beside me.

"Pulonia, we're leaving... we're going to visit an old... acquaintance."

I said, stopping before saying 'friend' and correcting myself. I hated to admit it... but I needed your singing to concentrate. After all, the Fatui had arrest warrants for you, but I never cared about that, and this time wouldn't be the exception.

I knew where you were... I was one of the few, along with Arlechinno, who knew... but neither of us had the slightest desire to capture you. So I entered through that secret entrance to a huge cave, covered in bioluminescent light blue flowers. I started to go deeper with Pulonia, and when I heard your humming, I knew you were there.
