Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

Several people wandered to another ward. In the corner of the ward, a girl in a wheelchair was leaning against the window. She looked at the students passing by talking and laughing from time to time downstairs. Her emerald green eyes were full of tenderness and kindness. Some loneliness is easily noticed by others.

The breeze blew the girl's short hair and the collar of her white patient gown. She lowered her head and saw her empty right trouser leg. Except for part of the thigh, the entire trouser leg is flat and neat, and even basically maintains the original folded state. The fold line is clearly visible. At a glance, it is even more incompatible with the left trouser leg that wraps a complete limb.

The girl did not regret the loss of her leg. After this series of "farces", she actually felt that she was more relieved than before that she could not regain her ability to walk.

Boom, boom, boom!

The knock on the door interrupted the girl's thoughts. She came back to her senses and turned her eyes to the door: "Please come in."

"Wendy!"

"Hey?"

Seeing Kiana coming in waving from the door, the girl named Wendy immediately noticed something.

"Miss Kiana, and..."

The girl hid the loneliness in her eyes and looked at the two people who walked in with Kiana with gentle eyes. One of them was a woman wearing glasses and a blue Shenzhou-style uniform. She must have had no impression of it. He is Kiana's friend.

But the other person was not unfamiliar to her. Although she had never really seen him before, she could still recognize at a glance who this black-haired boy with a unique temperament was.

The captain only visited Wendy once in the days just after the mission. At that time, she was still very weak and her eyesight had not recovered. To fully recover, she needed to rest for a long time. The captain was also busy with many tasks at the time. He didn't bother her again during the following period.

"Hello, I'm Wendy."

Wendy smiled and briefly introduced herself. Her voice became lighter but also more gentle than before.

"Hello, Miss Wendy, I am Fu Hua, a classmate of Kiana." Fu Hua replied politely.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Fu Hua, and...Mr. Captain."

"Looks like I don't have to introduce myself anymore."

"hehe."

Wendy looked at the young man not far away and smiled softly. She reached out and clicked on the projection screen in front of the wheelchair a few times. The wheelchair followed her instructions and carried her to the three of them.

She carefully observed the captain's face. That face was younger than she imagined, but it gave people a very calm feeling. What was even more strange was the pair of dark eyes, which seemed as soft and deep as the starry sky. , completely unlike what a teenager should look like.

What surprised her even more was that this feeling also existed in the woman named Fu Hua next to her, but there was a subtle difference between the two.

"Are you here to visit me?"

"Hehe, yes! Look, Wendy, I brought you some snacks!"

Kiana excitedly took out an exquisitely packaged snack box from her bag and handed it to the girl in front of her; the captain also took the opportunity to give her the Houmei doll he had prepared; Fu Hua placed a few bouquets of carnations on the On the table next to me.

"Ah, thank you...Miss Kiana, and Mr. Captain, Miss Fu Hua."

Wendy looked very happy as she caressed the dolls and snack boxes in her hands.

"I'm... really happy that some of you can come to visit me. Before, Miss Kiana and Miss Mei would come to visit me every few days."

"Oh, you're welcome! We are friends!"

"Friends...Miss Fu Hua and Mr. Captain are also willing to...be friends with me?"

"Although this is our first meeting, I can feel that Miss Wendy is a kind person. If you don't dislike her, I hope to establish a friendly relationship with Miss Wendy in the future."

Fu Hua responded seriously.

"Wow... monitor, so formal." Kiana couldn't help but complain.

"Ahem, anyway, please give me more advice in the future, Miss Wendy."

Fu Hua stretched out his hand, and Wendy immediately reached out to hold it.

"Yes! Please give me some advice. I feel that Miss Fu Hua is a very serious person."

"Thank you."

Fu Hua thanked him softly, and Wendy turned her attention to the young man beside her.

"Mr. Captain..."

"Please give me some advice, Wendy."

Without saying too many words, the young man smiled and stretched out his hand. Wendy gently held it, but her hands did not let go for a long time.

"At that time...if it hadn't been for Mr. Captain, I might have...obviously caused so much trouble to everyone in St. Freya."

There was a bit of bitterness in Wendy's words, but more of a deep guilt. She didn't want to mention these things that would affect their mood, but she didn't intend to escape. During the half month of resting in the hospital, she repeatedly recalled what she had done, but she still didn't know how to convince herself and relieve herself.

She didn't know how to apologize to everyone who treated her tenderly, let alone whether her survival was right or wrong.

Perhaps being corroded by "Honkai Energy" and then dying painfully is an ending that suits me.

But no matter what, she survived, and she should be grateful to the captain who risked his life to save her.

"Wendy..."

"Is your hand okay?"

"It's okay, it doesn't affect me at all, and I've almost recovered now."

As he said that, the captain rolled up the sleeve of his left arm slightly. There was still a bandage on it, but the wound had basically healed, and the reason why the bandage was still on was just because of a certain girl's "excessive worry".

"Sorry...it's all because of me..."

"Indeed, I was lectured and criticized by my subordinates for several days after that."

"..."

Hearing what the captain said, Wendy immediately lowered her head in guilt, but the captain immediately said: "But she also said that the bite was good! She should let someone who is not honest and commanding in the rear have a good taste of the flesh. It’s so painful, I suggest you increase your efforts next time!”

"Hey???"

Before Wendy could react, Kiana beside her burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the room immediately relaxed. Wendy raised her head again, but her eyes met that gentle, dark gaze.

"Mr. Captain..."

"Just call me Captain."

"…Thank you for saving me, Captain."

"Well, then, let's talk about yourself Wendy."

"I?"

The captain nodded: "It's about your disposal plan and your stay. This is also one of the purposes of our visit to you this time."

"…I understand, I will obey all orders."

This will not be an easy topic, Wendy naturally understands, but the expression on her face is almost unchanged. She has already prepared all the corresponding awareness. Whether he spends the rest of his life in prison, or is sent back to the "Oceania Branch" to be used as research material, he contributes the final value of this body that was once the "Fourth Herrscher"...

No matter what outcome awaits her in the end, she has already planned to accept it calmly and will never feel any injustice for it.
