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

Beside her were her sister's frantic cries, filled with anxiety, urgency, and longing... She hoped her sister could stand up and not leave the person who had always been there for her.

But he, who once fought alongside her, is now merely a burden to her.

She understood perfectly well—yes, she understood from the very beginning—that either she would die, or they would both die together.

See, there aren't many other options, are there?

Chapter 30 The Story of These Sisters

A roar erupted, signaling an uncontrollable surge of fury.

The enormous Honkai Beast had caught up with them without them even realizing it.

"As long as I'm alive... I will definitely find a way to get you out of here! Even if you bite me, I won't give up!"

Amidst the swirling snow, the hazy white obscured her vision, but the enormous shadow ahead still revealed her predicament. Before her... was only that foolish older sister, stubbornly holding her sword, refusing to retreat an inch.

Because he's an idiot, he won't understand what she's saying.

Because she's the older sister, I won't accept her advice.

"……Fool."

She hung her head, her eyes filled with heartache and sorrow. If this continued... both of them would die.

Why, why won't you accept her suggestion at this time?

In the cold wind, close combat raged before them, sparks flying from the friction. The pink-haired girl stared resolutely at the enormous monster, showing no sign of retreat...

But instead of fighting side-by-side, she...

A card was tossed out; it was her identification, granting her numerous privileges…

"Hurry up, run if you can still run, and walk if you can't run anymore..."

She was breathing heavily when she spoke to her younger sister beside her.

"..."

The frail girl clutched the card tightly, remaining silent.

He tried to move backward, walked, then ran, staggering away into the distance.

...

If only she could run away...

The older sister, who had just barely defeated the Honkai Beast, thought to herself...

Even though the greatsword was stuck in the monster's head, the blood on the ground was indistinguishable from its source. The battlefield was chaotic, stained with blood, and the snow had been practically ploughed up, demonstrating the intensity of the battle.

Even as the victor, she now shows little sign of life.

My vision gradually blurred, and the sky receded into the distance.

Is that snow falling from above?

She didn't know, but at this moment, she couldn't even lift her greatsword, yet she heard a clear sound of footsteps. Judgment? No, she was certain that it was her returning.

Didn't expect that? No, you should have thought of it sooner.

Surprise, anger, self-blame... She didn't know what she was feeling at that time, nor did she know what she should feel.

She wanted to yell, to tell her to get out of this hellhole, but the metallic taste of blood in her throat rendered her speechless. She could only watch helplessly as, guided by her, two doctors and a stretcher rushed towards her...

It was getting colder and colder, and she slowly closed her eyes...

He fell into a deep sleep and never woke up.

When I opened my eyes again, all I could smell was disinfectant and the bright incandescent light above me.

She felt as if she had been transported to another world, and the first thing that came to her mind was her sister's name.

——Where is she?

The next moment, the warmth from her palm seemed to respond to her—a soft, warm, trembling hand…

Her soft voice trembled with fear as she spoke, "Lilia whispered..."

"...Doctor, I'm ready."

"Don't you have anything to say to her?"

"Hmm... she probably has too much to say and doesn't know what to say. So, let's begin, doctor, please save her."

With a hint of hesitation and a sob in her voice.

She didn't know what was happening; the lights in front of her seemed to have dimmed a bit.

But she could feel her hands gripping tighter and tighter.

It's like being afraid of losing something.

Yes, she is losing something, something very precious, so precious that it's suffocating her at this moment...
