[Yanqing]: Siegfried?! Why is he here??
[Tingyun]: Otto… actually agreed to let Siegfried and Cecilia reunite?!
[Keqing]: So touching… they're finally together!!
[March 7th]: No way… is this really Otto??
[Hu Tao]: The Overseer finally did sothing human for once…!
[Furina]: Could it be because of Theresa?
[Theresa]: Grandpa wouldn't easily change his mind because of soone else…
[Silver Wolf]: …
[Hu Tao]: Wait… cultivating bloodlines? Combining Cecilia's bloodline with the Kaslana family?!
[Star Rail · Hiko]: I knew it!! Otto was never this kind-hearted!
[Kamisato Ayaka]: But… no matter what, it's still a good deed…
[Ruan i]: At the very least, Cecilia and Siegfried being together led to Kiana's birth, right?
[Ningguang]: That kind-hearted Otto… died long ago together with Kallen…
The people in the chat group sighed endlessly.
At first, everyone had thought that Otto had a mont of conscience—
or that he had softened because of Theresa—
and that was why he allowed Siegfried and Cecilia to finally be together.
But who would've thought…
This man truly never changed.
It was all just to see
what kind of result would co from combining Cecilia's modified bloodline
with the blood of the Kaslana family!
In an instant,
whatever lingering warmth and emotion everyone had felt
was doused almost completely.
The Overseer was still the Overseer!
Just as infuriating as ever—
not even a little less teeth-grinding!
Still…
At the very least,
regardless of his motives,
Otto had finally done one good thing.
He had brought together Cecilia and Siegfried—two lovers bound by fate.
At least he hadn't deliberately torn others apart
just because he himself was alone.
That alone spared Otto
from another round of verbal abuse in the chat group.
Within the pure white space.
When Kallen saw the conversation between Otto and Theresa,
she froze in shock.
Grandfather… granddaughter?
Otto's granddaughter… was nad Theresa?
But why did she carry the Kaslana surna…?
Yet that wasn't the most shocking part.
Looking closely at Theresa's appearance…
Wasn't she exactly how Kallen herself had looked in her teenage years?!
And not just similar—
it was practically a one-to-one replica!
In that mont, countless questions tangled in Kallen's heart.
Then—
"That kind-hearted Otto died long ago—together with her…"
Otto's murmured words
made Kallen's body tremble, her heart quivering.
This was Otto's true inner voice.
A confession of devotion
powerful enough to move anyone.
And Kallen was no exception.
Yet that was precisely what she didn't want to see.
Her own death had beco like a bottomless vortex,
dragging Otto ever deeper—
unable to escape.
On the screen,
ti flowed swiftly.
[February 2, 2000]
[First Air Harbor of the Schicksal Headquarters Floating Island Cluster, Europe]
The sun shone brightly,
a gentle breeze drifting through the air.
On a stretch of green lawn,
Theresa—dressed in a cute, Chinese-style qipao—held little Kiana in her arms as they took photos.
"Do I really have to dress like this for the pictures?"
"Don't be shy—Kiana really likes this outfit on you~"
"Well… if Kiana likes it…"
Theresa smiled indulgently.
"Are we done yet~?"
"Haa… finally finished!"
After the photoshoot,
Siegfried and Kiana started playing on the lawn.
anwhile, resting nearby,
Theresa chatted with Cecilia.
"Thank you for coming to take Kiana's art photos with us. She really likes you."
"It's no trouble at all~"
Theresa waved her hand with a smile,
then looked at Cecilia with a hint of concern.
"I just hope you'll recover your health soon."
"Thank you for your concern, Theresa~"
As best friends,
Cecilia and Theresa both understood each other's sincerity.
Basking in the sunlight,
feeling the gentle breeze,
watching Kiana playing happily in the distance—
Theresa sighed from the bottom of her heart.
"I hope days like this can last a little longer…"
But!
Fate had other plans.
In the very next second,
an ergency order popped up before Theresa's eyes.
"From the Overseer…"
Seeing that urgent order,
everyone watching the screen felt their hearts tighten.
At this mont,
the scene of Cecilia's family reunited in happiness
was simply too beautiful.
Kiana's lively innocence
was far too endearing.
It was a picture no one wanted to see shattered.
[March 7th]: Wuuuu, baby Kiana is so cute!!
[Theresa]: Sigh…
[Ganyu]: Ti really passes so fast…
[Hu Tao]: Wait… an ergency order?!
[Hu Tao]: At this ti… it can't be…
[Star Rail · Hiko]: The prelude to the Second Honkai Eruption!
[Sangonomiya Kokomi]: I really don't want to ruin an atmosphere like this…
[Keqing]: I hope… everyone can make it through this crisis safely…
