BONUS LOG#2
[//Bonus Recollection Log: A Clash of Queens]
Sho: Hey, Reine. How’d you get that scar, anyway?
Reine: Oh my. Is Sister Sho in the mood for idle chatter today? How fortuitous. Well, if you must know… a void beast once attempted to kill me. A new species I was studying at the time—Nil Moraris. A majestic creature. Long fangs, rending claws, a mane of velvetine shadow which light could not penetrate. And yet, it had beautiful crimson eyes, like the moon of Albireo. Quite temperamental, though. They remind me of you.
Sho: You’re telling me you fought off a mangy void dog and walked away with just a flesh wound? You look like you’ve never held a weapon in your life. What did you do—lecture it to death? A death stare?
Reine: Alas…the dear beast was not so fortunate. Let us just say there are fates less fanciful than death’s sweet release. >>Sho: Remind me to stay on your good side, Reine.
Reine: Do not concern yourself, Sister Sho. I have grown quite fond of you.
Sho: That’s some reassurance, coming from you. By the way—have you seen Ell? I’m heading out on another field mission soon. Some snow planet this time. I hate the cold.
Reine: Ah. To my knowledge, she has not left her room for some time. I heard she has been studying a curious thing called “Endfield”. I can hear her murmuring “the factory must grow” just beyond the door whenever I pass by.
Sho: Endfield? Weird. A new archival project? Some homework from Zaleri? Whatever it is, tell her I’m leaving soon, okay?
Reine: I will miss you, dearest sister.
Sho: …Whatever. And I’m not your sister, Reine. Stop calling me that. It’s creepy.
