Collapse, but Stand users

'A soul guilty of heinous crimes.'

What constitutes a heinous crime?

Father Pucci fell into deep thought as he looked at his younger brother who had died in front of him.

Child trafficking, drug trafficking, murder.

'Is someone like that unacceptable?'

Are skulls that picky eaters?

'No, that's not right. The skull did change slightly for a moment, but then it reverted to its original state.'

Pucci placed his hand on the skull, and the skull reacted.

'It reacts to my soul.'

'So these guys have such weak souls?'

'Never mind, let's go back to the sanatorium first, lest Aponia scold me again.'

......

"Father, welcome back."

Upon entering the sanatorium courtyard, I didn't see Aponia, but only Kevin and Hua playing with the children.

"How are you two doing? Are you settling in well here?"

"Habits are habits, but..."

Kevin scratched his head, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"It's called a branch of the Fire-Chasing Moth, but in fact, Dusk Street has nothing to do with the Fire-Chasing Moth."

"It's not too late to quit now."

"I want to stay here."

Upon hearing Father Pucci's words, Hua spoke up.

"I quite like it here, so it's better to stay here."

After Hua made his statement, Kevin followed up with his own.

"Yeah."

Father Pucci nodded.

"Since you've followed me, I won't treat you unfairly."

“We will have the same facilities as other Moths that follow the Flame.”

After Father Pucci finished speaking, he walked into the sanatorium.

"Vilvie will have to work overtime later."

......

Of course, you weren't just saying that.

After clearing a space near the sanatorium, you need to have Velvi build training facilities on that space.

A month later, the training grounds were completed, and the thoughtful Velvi even built some machines she had developed to increase the intensity of the training.

At 23, you found good homes for the children at the nursing home and sent them away, except for Seele.

[If there are no more children needing care, you will dismiss the caregivers.]

Although Aponia was somewhat reluctant to leave, it didn't stop them from pursuing a better life.

The once bustling sanatorium has fallen silent.

Afterwards, the residents near the nursing home were relocated, and church members took their place.

Apart from the residential area, other buildings were demolished to make way for the facilities that a Firemoth branch should have.

However, the cost of building the facilities is quite high, not to mention the subsequent purchase of equipment.

There wasn't much profit to be made on Twilight Street to begin with, not to mention, some shady deals have been restricted by you.

Left with no other option, you turn to Eden for help.

[Her world tour has just ended, and she agreed to your request, saying she'd like to visit Twilight Street.]

After Eden arrives at Twilight Street, you tell her about the Honkai and the Fire-Chasing Moths.

This kind of thing has a huge impact on ordinary people.

Eden paused for a moment, then became even more determined to invest in you.

Eden discussed related matters with you until late at night.

"It's getting late, let's call it a day."

“Yes, Father Pucci.”

"Want to come out and look at the stars?"

"Starry sky?"

"Yes, the starry sky, the starry sky in Twilight Street is clearer than in other places."

The two stepped out of the room and looked up at the starry sky.

"It's so beautiful."

Eden exclaimed.

"The conditions on Huanghun Street do not allow for the emergence of large factories or enterprises."

"There is no pollution, so the starry sky here is brighter than in other places."

"This is one of the few advantages of Twilight Street."

"It's a pity that few people on Dusk Street look up at the starry sky."

Father Pucci looked at the starry sky and spoke.

"Father Pucci, may I come often in the future?"

Father Pucci nodded.

"Of course, the sanatorium has plenty of empty rooms."

Eden smiled and continued to admire the starry sky.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Eden couldn't help but start dancing.

"How romantic, Father Pucci, are you enjoying the moon with your beautiful lady here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

A calm voice came from behind.

'broken.'
