We were working on restoring emotions.

[I'm not a good fit for research tasks ...]

I had to wake up from a... Fake life, and get back here.

[Painting with the broadest strokes imaginable.]

[florescences]

Restoring emotions?

[ she tilts her head. ]

What kind of fake life?

[fightolive]

Relivers have problems feeling emotions. You, Zhongli and I were all working on having them be able to feel again.

[A small sigh.]

I was... Just a normal girl with a normal life. I had a job I liked and coworkers I liked working with. But... It didn't feel right. I didn't belong there.

[florescences]

[ wow, they got that right about me. ]

I do think that's one of the greatest flaws I've heard about the Reliver system.

[ scien....... find love. ]

You didn't... what made you realize it wasn't your life?

[fightolive]

[Blade would never try to extend somebody's life.]

Sometimes when I looked at insects, they'd turn into The Swarm. Or... If I locked eyes with somebody, I'd hear things that my friends said at home.

I... Couldn't let myself believe in that sweet dream.

[florescences]

The flashes of your actual life, huh? I'm glad you were able to pull yourself out.

It's always better to face your reality, isn't it?

[fightolive]

Yeah. My friend was also there, and she asked if I wanted to stay a little longer. I turned her down.

...

We ended up walking around in hell.

[florescences]

You both went to hell next? It wasn't a punishment, was it?

[fightolive]

It was... Marcoh, Siffrin, Koharu and I. I don't know if it was a punishment or just what happened because we woke up.

[florescences]

That was the end? You realized it wasn't real, walked through hell.... and then, you came back?

[ she is trying to get the timeline right. ]

[fightolive]

[I died for a little bit.]

At the end, I also had to... Talk to myself?

[Strange little journey.]

[florescences]

Hm? Like a learning moment?

[ well... dying seems kind of normal for these things, so she won't comment on it for now. ]

[fightolive]

Something along those lines.

[What else is she supposed to call a moment like that? It's the only thing to come to mind.

I promised myself to be more than just a weapon.]

[florescences]

[ her smile brightens. ]

You always have been, Firefly. I'm glad you've learned it now.

[fightolive]

[She returns the smile.]

As long as someone exists... They have the chance to change and make choices for themselves. Right?

[florescences]

Yes! You got it!

[ waaah elysia is so happy to hear this from firefly. she's coming in for a hug. ]

[fightolive]

[Waah!

She's only a little surprised at the hug, so she embraces Elysia back.]

[florescences]

You're so cute. As long as you don't forget that, you'll be fine.

[ you can be what you want to be, firefly. it may take a while, but you can do it. ]

[fightolive]

I won't forget it.

[Can't really change careers at this point, but that's okay.]

[florescences]

[ just hit da bricks firefly who knows what's in your contract with elio but it's probably fine ]

Good. I'm glad to hear it.

[fightolive]

[Starts filling out paperwork to move to the Astral Express.]

[florescences]

[ if they accepted sunday, they can accept firefly ]
