Honkai Impact 3rd: I picked up a Seele at the start of the game.

……

As I walked out of the research institute, it was afternoon, and I guessed everyone was training, so there weren't many people around.

Yun Fuyu stood there blankly for a while when his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Möbius.

She said, "There are too many things from the past, and I'm afraid you don't really feel them anymore. Here's what I'll do: listen to me, go talk to May, Kevin, and Wilwick individually, and try to accept the current situation."

After that, she posted several location maps, indicating the current locations of the three people.

Finally, there's a meme of a snake tapping Klein on the head, laughing wildly.

Yes, cute.

"Well... although I have no idea what I've forgotten, at least Mebius is quite nice to me, not at all like the cold snake I imagined."

The Chick-Bird Complex – Humans, like chicks, place great importance on the first member of the opposite sex they are attracted to in their lives.

El-Innis, you really set a huge trap.

……

……

Mei's research institute.

As usual, Kevin, who was guarding the door, patted his chest and couldn't help but smile: "I heard from Möbius that Yun Fuyu is back to normal."

Yun Fuyu was a little confused, but she could see Kevin's good intentions. She smiled politely and said courteously, "I don't remember much about the past. Could you tell me some things? For example, what was our relationship before?"

Kevin sighed with some regret and put his arm around his shoulder: "You're my savior! When the Third Herrscher descended, you rescued Mei and me from Changkong City; when the Fourth Herrscher descended, you came to my aid in time and helped me kill the Herrscher; and when the Sixth Herrscher came, you shielded me from the Herrscher's sneak attack and finally beheaded the Herrscher with your own hands..."

Once Kevin started talking, he launched into a long, uninterrupted account of his past. Yun Fuyu listened, feeling a pang of sympathy, yet also a sense of awe—"Am I really that amazing? Holy crap! I'm really that awesome!"

Until the very end of his sentence, a thought suddenly struck him, and he asked, "The Sixth Herrscher... what kind of person is she? No, no, I mean... is there any information about her here, like a photo or something?"

Kevin recalled briefly: "It was a girl, not very old, with short hair... As for the photo, Mei might still have it."

Yun Fuyu nodded, not minding at all, and said with a smile, "I really don't remember anything from the past, but from what you've said, I'm pretty amazing!"

Kevin thumped his chest: "Of course! We brothers are the brightest twin stars of the Firemoth!"

He smiled, showing none of the cold and aloof Kevin he remembered; he seemed to still be a sunny and cheerful young man.

Kevin: "Okay, go see Mei. She should be happy to see you awake."

Yun Fuyu suddenly remembered that in her dream, she seemed to be a very charming and scummy man, and hesitantly asked, "Um... how is your relationship with Mei?"

Kevin said shyly, "Hey, take it slow..."

Yun Fuyu was relieved. It seemed she still had some self-respect and hadn't messed with the pairings!

Upon entering the research institute, his assistant led him to Mei's office. He knocked, entered, and the purple-haired girl with glasses looked up and smiled at him: "Yun Fuyu, long time no see. Congratulations on your recovery and awakening."

This is the legendary Dr. Mei. She does indeed look exactly like Mei, except that she has a much stronger scholarly air about her.

Yun Fuyu smiled awkwardly: "Uh, Möbius should have said so, right? I've forgotten a lot of things, and I'm still a bit confused."

Mei nodded: "I know. But as long as you are still you, that's enough."

That statement is quite philosophical.

Feeling there was nothing left to say, Yun Fuyu asked, "Do you have a picture of the Sixth Herrscher here? I'd like to see if I can remember anything."

Mei's expression turned serious. She said, "Yes. But I need to remind you of something in advance—Yun Fuyu, on the eve of the Sixth Herrscher's arrival, you participated in the fusion surgery and suffered from the side effect of schizophrenia. So..."

Mei hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "Later, you participated in the battle against the Sixth Herrscher, but afterwards, you had many hallucinations, believing that the Herrscher was a pitiful girl who was saved through your efforts. From then on, you spent nearly half a year with that imaginary girl..."

"To put it bluntly, it's like when you're having a split personality, you fantasize that you've been in a relationship with the Herrscher for six months, and during that time you're even extremely wary of the Fire Moth, fearing that the Fire Moth will try to wipe you out."

Yun Fuyu was completely bewildered. Had she really gone this far? Had she been dating a hallucination for half a year?!

He looked down on his former self and said, "Don't worry, since Mebius said I've returned to normal and I don't remember anything from before, then there shouldn't be any problem. I just wanted to see the Herrscher's picture out of curiosity."

After all, she's the legendary incarnation of Seele~ Just like Mei and Mei, they both piqued his curiosity.

Mei felt slightly relieved and summoned Prometheus, asking her to retrieve the image of the Herrscher of Death. Meanwhile, Yun Fuyu also stared curiously at Prometheus.

Wow... How can anyone not be curious about a mechanical duck-themed doll? Just thinking about it would be so interesting!

Soon, Prometheus projected the photograph—

It was a girl with short blue hair, wearing a school uniform, her head bowed, letting Kevin point a gun at her. Her eyes were closed, so her expression couldn't be seen from the side.

It was exactly the same as Yun Fuyu's memory.

She looks so much like Seele.

However, she wasn't Xi'er. After her initial regret, Yun Fuyu decided not to dwell on it.

He even joked, "Should I call her 'Seele'? Or 'Seele Voller'?"

"..."

Xi'er Fuleai.

Seele Vollerei.

It seemed to be its own voice, speaking gently or proudly: "Whether it's Seele Vollerei or Seele Vollerei, they are both beautiful names that are deeply etched in my memory."

.

But if you lose your memory, can you still recall that beautiful feeling?

In a world that is both strange and familiar, a boy with an empty heart cries unconsciously because of his own confusion, until in the end, he forgets why he cried.

He wiped away his tears, thinking to himself: Perhaps it's because he's traveled through time and can't return to his own world that he's crying. Moreover, being in the "pre-civilization," everything in the current civilization seems so incredibly distant. He'll never get to see Kiana, Mei, Bronya, Seele, and the others, and his own future is uncertain. It's truly heartbreaking.

He smiled and said, "It looks so familiar. I feel like I'm seeing the shadow of someone I know (Seele)."

"However, I really don't remember who this is."

That's it.
