Seele's point of view: I hate the Honkai tests. We have to shape a special mercury sphere, and I kept failing. I thought I didn't work hard enough, but I eventually learned the truth. "Ha! Look at this watch. You're so stupid, Seele. Seele idiotka. You can't do anything useful." I kept hearing Sin's words... Coward, useless idiot, nobody... "Matushka, please let Bronya try next." Bronya stood before me. Her butterfly knot pulsed as she focused her mind. The mercury pulsed in response. Like a living being, it turned into a HOMU doll. "That's awesome Bronya!" Said Liliya. "Look! It's a HOMU! I knew you're the best, Bronya!" I said. "It's alright, Seele. I'm here." Said Bronya. "Bronya and Seele..." I heard Sin mumbling something under her breath, but paid it no mind. That's right... Bronya always stood up for me every time Sin did something mean... I leaped forward and wrapped my arms around Bronya...

Rozaliya went up next. "Hmph! HOMU? Wrist watches? Pfft. That's nothing. I bring you... SIN! Awesome, right? A real work of art." Said Rozaliya. "RO ZA LI YA! Do I look like this idiot?" Asked Sin now angry at Rozaliya.

My point of view: I paused and laughed at this part. Seeing Sin angry at Rozeliya insulting Sin made me laugh. "I guess only Psychic type Valkyries could shape the mercury but not Mech or Bio types. Which peaks my curiosity. Seele, what type are you? You're a Valkyrie right? So what's you're type?" "A Quantum type. And yes I am a Valkyrie just like Bronya." "A Quantum type?" "It's a type that manipulates Time and Space." "Bronya never told me that. This one thing she told me about your way of fighting was your weapon of choice. I believe it was a scythe if I remember correctly." "That is indeed my weapon of choice." "You're beginning to remind me of Sailor Saturn/Hotaru Tomoe from Sailor Moon. With the weapon of choice, eye color, hair style, and looks also. You also kind of almost resemble her too." "I guess you could say that. Yes I know about Sailor Moon." "How much pop-culture do you know?" "Not much. Only HOMU and a few popular Anime and a few western cartoons." I decided to continue reading the diary entry to get back on topic.

Seele's point of view: "I think Roza did a good job. Don't worry, Seele. You did better than me. You created a form but failed to hold it in place. Look, I couldn't even move the thing. Perhaps my mind is really empty." Explained Liliya. I looked at Rozaliya. Liliya patted me on my shoulder. "I don't think you'll be happy even if you could mood mercury into my sister." Said Liliya. "Lili! Are you bad-mouthing my magnum opus again?!" Shouted Rozaliya. I lack Rozeliya's fearsome confidence. I also couldn't laugh at myself like Liliya. I just lacked them courage.

Later: I heard Sin talking to Bronya when I headed back to my room. I trust Bronya to stand up to Sin. "Bronya... you... you like the stupid little idiot Seele, right?" Asked Sin. "Da. Bronya will always be with Seele." Answered Bronya. Bronya... I suddenly heard a loud thud. Someone fell down the stairs. And then I heard her stomping on her leg. "NYET! IDIOTKA! STUPID! YOU CANNOT LIKE YOU HER!" Shouted Sin. I saw Bronya struggling to walk with a crutch on the following day.

My point of view: I found it hard to finish reading this. I felt anger flow within me. "Bronya told me about this moment too. That Sin was a bully. She did horrible things to Bronya and to you. Right now she works for Anti-Entropy. I believe that her weapon of choice was a pike. I first met her while searching for the legendary Xuanyan sword, with Bronya, Mei, Kiana, and Himeko. When we fought against her and her mechs. I punched her in the face for what she did to Bronya. I also wanted to kill her with my guns but I chose not too. When I was still in school back home, I wanted to stand up against bullies. But never did I meet a real bully until I stood up to a bunch of bad kids on the bus making fun of one of my neighborhood friend's singing in this event at intermediate school where some students performed and they made fun of her that she cried. But I stood up against those bad kids. I think I did the right thing. I was pretty lucky that I was never bullied and lived a completely normal school life. It actually reminds me of when someone choked my brother but he could not fight back maybe because he couldn't make himself fight back. It wasn't until someone made that person stop. I know how that feels. If I was there I would punch and kick her back."

"No matter. We're just little kids. I've avenged Bronya already." "Avenged? How?" "I've taken revenge for Bronya. The matter has been settled. ..." The girl murmured to herself while staring into the distance. She was no longer the shy girl I met. It was a discomforting sight. "Well you are right about one thing. What ever you did to Sin for revenge, she deserved it."

I decided to end the discussion and wait for the next entry. A new entry appeared after a long wait. "I recorded beautiful moments in my diary. After all, only good times are worth remembering. They're just like rainbow-colored bubbles on azure waters." I suddenly felt that Seele was trying to hide something... 'Dark currents flow under the bubbles... What could Seele possible be hiding from me?... She is starting to make me feel suspicious... Maybe one of her entries has the answer...'

Finally I heard Drago's voice inside. "Patrick. I saw and heard everything." 'It's about time you appeared. Something seems off with Seele. Like there is someone else with her around here.' "I sense another presence too. It's something I haven't felt in a long time since the Second Honkai Outbreak. I was hoping never to feel a presence like that again but it seems that I was wrong."

Another voice spoke that no one heard. "So the Herrscher of the Dragon and his host are really here. I've been waiting to meet you Drago. Enjoy your talk with my host Patrick."
