To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Wilvi slipped her hat down, obscuring her face; Sue opened her eyes, watching the final farewell, silent.

Kevin sighed and looked at the patterns on the ceiling; Eden raised his glass, as if saying goodbye to an old friend.

A somber atmosphere pervaded the air, though there was an overwhelming sense of emotion.

"Damn it, that guy... he said he didn't have a knife... but why am I still crying?"

Alicia pursed her lips, somewhat unwilling, but she couldn't stop the tears from flowing, drop by drop.

They admired the romance that belongs to humanity and decided to teach a certain human a lesson.

...

"This ending... is reasonable, isn't it? Himeko, she stayed there..."

Karen held Theresa in her arms; the little girl was already crying uncontrollably, her small body trembling.

"Alright, Theresa, Himeko is perfectly fine~"

"But...but...why...Himeko is so touching...I don't want her to leave..."

Theresa spoke haltingly, her eyes already red.

“Lady Durandal, you don’t need to be sad,” Rita said softly, though a hint of sadness was also on her face.

"...Oh, me? When?"

Durandal suddenly realized, touched her cheek, and felt a trace of liquid.

So, she was also moved to tears?

"It's a wonderful story...a touching glimpse into the passing down of human virtues and the enduring legacy of humanity...I was completely captivated by it."

"Yeah...me too. Otto...did Otto say something like that in Valkyrie? That's...that's the way I know him~"

Karen sighed softly.

"Um, how about we take a break?"

Luo Mo asked tentatively, glancing at their faces, which all seemed somewhat gloomy.

"...Captain, you don't need to say it out loud, just stop for a moment."

Eileen looked at Luo Mo in front of her and realized that he was starting to act strangely again.

But for his safety, she still intervened.

"..." Luo Mo glanced at Eileen, who had moved behind him, and silently stopped himself from saying what he was about to say.

Taking a cautious approach is not necessarily a bad thing.

...

"Himeko-sensei...am I your proudest student?"

Kiana asked through teary eyes, her gaze lingering on the water, where she could vaguely make out Himeko's face.

"Yes, yes, if you can shine like you do in the game, you'll definitely be Himeko Murata's best student~"

"What's the point of adding any embellishments or restrictions at a time like this?... But of course, I'll perform even better!"

"I'm determined to be Himeko-sensei's best student!"

"Should I sacrifice myself to encourage you?" Himeko tapped Kiana's cheek and said helplessly.

"Hehe, of course, no need!"

Kiana chuckled and said, then wiped away her tears, turned around, and feigned surprise, "Hey, you guys... are you all crying?"

"Yes, Kiana, it's a very touching story," Seele said, wiping away her tears.

Bronya didn't cry!

"Kiana, don't, don't look at me like that..." Mei turned her head away shyly.

"But Bronya, your eyes are red—wow, Herrscher of Knowledge, why did you turn around?"

"No, is that not allowed? I, I'm just a little annoyed by old things! Yes, that's it."

"...But I'm not over there either."

Himeko sighed, looking at the laughter and chatter in the living room. The only thing they had in common was that everyone's eyes were red.

"What should I do when class starts?" She couldn't help but worry about this problem.

(The Captain's Story - Part 6)

The ninja sat silently at the table, and did not notice Kallen's presence until she left.

"To be honest, I still don't understand why you insist on avoiding her. Shouldn't you really want to see her?"

"...She is not someone I remember, and I am not someone she remembers, so why must we meet?"
