I no longer felt that I was on the bed... I felt as though I'm in that little dark room she mentioned... Which I really was in. "..." I closed the diary. The girl sat before me while giving me a shy yet inquisitive gaze. I breathed deeply and gazed at her. My next words were: "Are you alright Seele?" "I feel much better already. Did you finish reading the diary? Did you find anything?" "I just read an entry... I found how you met Bronya for the first time after she was captured for trying to kill Cocolia. That actually reminds me of how I first met Bronya with the other girls. After arriving at St. Freya, Principle Theresa showed me to the girls' dorms and showed me to my dorm room where I'm going to be staying at. Then I met Himeko then I had my stuff unpacked in my new room. Then Theresa took me to the living room where she introduced me to the Valkyries. She introduced me to Kiana, Mei, Bronya, and Fu Hua. Bronya didn't like being called a doll because people thought she looked like a doll. The entry also reminds me of how the sniper rifle used to be my brother's favorite weapon back when we played first person shooter games together and it also became one of my favorite weapons too."

I sighed and continued. "I can see how you and Bronya were before you both first met." "Da. We grew up in the orphanage together. You know Bronya as well, right? How is she... doing?" Asked Seele. "We've been through many things. We've went on different adventures and missions together with our friends and some times just the two of us. She's a great gamer too. She is someone I can talk to about pop culture, Anime, and video games. She even taught me all about HOMU. We've taught each other how to play different video games we weren't good at. There was even this one time that Bronya said how I didn't notice that I was being rude to her and when she was scolding me I snapped at her by pulling out my laser guns at her to shut her up but then she used her Project Bunny on me saying "Project Bunny Fire!" But I had my shield barrier with me. However, Theresa stopped us from fighting and arguing and we apologized to each other. So yeah, I have a good friendship with her like the other girls."

"I'm surprised to learn that you know Bronya... I'm not like Bronya." Said Seele. "How so?" I asked.

Seele's Point of View Flashback:

I only knew the orphanage, but Bronya has seen the outside world... just not all of it. "I wish we have a swing here." "A swing?" "The one in the picture book. Did you play on a swing before?" "Nyet. But I played with Avtomat Kalashnikova and Dragunova." Bronya took the book from my hands and read it. It turned out there were things that Bronya didn't know about. Matushka told us that the war has not yet ended yet. The parks are closed. There are no swings." Bronya simply stared at the picture book in silence. I thought she was depressed, but I was mistaken. Her eyes sparkled. "Let's go Seele." "Go? Where are we going?" "To a park with swings. I know an amusement park. It's closed. But we can still climb over the walls." "Matushka said it's dangerous outside." "I'll protect you Seele." She tugged my hands. I never expected her to behave like this. I was the one who wanted the swing in the first place...

But then the Vodka twins appeared. Hah. I've heard everything! Keep the doors closed next time!" Shouted Rozaliya. "The girl with horns." Said Bronya. "These props reinforce my unique persona as a. True superstar. Lili, don't take off your horns. And keep your tail on as well. And you, Bronya, don't interrupt me when I'm doing something inspirational." Rozaliya and her dramatic gestures were really funny. She then turned to face me.

Rozaliya takes a deep breath. "Coo. Coo. I think I heard some noises." Said Rozaliya. "Someone's hungry?" Asked Liliya. "Nyet, Lili. Did you forget our lines already?" "The hooting of an owl, reminding the children to go to sleep? Hoo... hoo hoo..." "We're not improvising, Lili. Please follow the script." "Alright. I think I heard a pigeon." "That's right. Roza and Lili shall become little doves, flying to Matushka with grave news." "Just say that you're snitching, Roza." "Did I write this line? Be serious, Lili." "... Ha. Ha. Ha. You naughty girls are in trouble. Matushka will hear of this. (Whispers) Pretend that you're scared."

"What? Really?" I asked. "(Whispers) Pretend that you're scared so that Roza will leave you in peace." Whispered Lili. "What are you trying to do, Lili?" Asked Roza. "Cough, cough." I tugged at Bronya's sleeve and bowed our heads in shame. Bronya was trying hard not to laugh. "Please don't tell Matushka... we'll be nice, we promise..." I begged. "Alright. I'll let you off. Let's go, Lili. Time to play pranks on Sin." Said Roza.

"KYAAA!" Screamed a voice. Sin?! They managed to scare Sin! "Sorry, Seele and Bronya. You know how Roza is. She won't tell Matushka. She just wants some practice." Said Lili. "I know Roza is trying hard to realize her dreams of becoming a superstar. Thank you, Lili. Roza can only realize her dreams if you're around to help her." I said. "We are twins who share the same dreams. We must do our best. By the way, Seele, thanks for the "Daughter of the Sea." It was a great read. Roza is using "Sleeping Beauty" as a reference to revise her script. Our performance will be ready soon." Lili also worked hard to support her sister's acting aspirations. Perhaps her "unwillingness" was also a part of Roza's intended performance... In any case, I'm certain that the Olenyevas enjoyed their theatrics very much.

Bronya's stomach growled in hunger. "The sun has set. We'll look for a swing next time. Are you hungry, Bronya? I'll make some food." I said.
