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

———World Bubble, Sage's Tower———

When I woke up this morning, my eyes were wet for some reason.

Lately, I've been having this happen frequently: I dream of familiar scenes, but I can't recall them when I wake up.

Thinking of Voller's story, Seele always felt that she was also searching for someone. This feeling grew stronger day by day, but her reason kept making her run away—because Bronya was by her side, and there was another Seele.

Logically speaking, I should already have achieved everything, so why do I have this strange sense of "loss"?

She involuntarily opened her mouth, as if wanting to say someone's name, but in the end she just smiled helplessly and whispered: "Bronya, Seele, when are you coming back?"

These are probably what they're thinking about.

Just as Seele always wanted to give Bronya and Seele "the perfect love, uniquely yours" back in El Aeneas, she also wants to give them "the most sincere companionship" in the present civilization.

For Seele, the visitors who suddenly intrude into her life, visitors who exist only in her memories, are disruptors who disturb her life. Even though she has all sorts of thoughts in her mind, reason tells her that she can't think about it any longer.

(This is also why I didn't want Seele and the current civilization's Seele to be the same person. It's just that the main storyline requires the current civilization, so I had to resort to this measure.)

After getting up, Seele went to the top of the Sage's Tower. As always, she used her power to stabilize the world and sat by the window, watching the snow fall.

"..."

"Good morning, Seele."

"Good morning, Freya."

World Bubble Seele brought breakfast over, and seeing Seele's worried expression, she herself wasn't in a much better mood.

After she sat down, she said somewhat blankly, "Last night I had a very, very long dream, so long that it felt like I lived a lifetime."

Seele reacted strongly to this, staring at her with her light blue eyes, as if expecting her to continue.

World Bubble Seele munched on her bread, mumbling, "In my dream, I was a bloodthirsty killer, clearly a bad woman. But Ayun stayed by my side, slowly influencing me... However, the ending was terrible; I think I killed him, and then I woke up."

She swallowed the bread and sighed, "How strange, am I missing him too much?"

Seele murmured, "The seven hundred and thirty-second time..."

"Hmm?" World Bubble Seele tilted her head in confusion.

Seele was stunned for a long time, then shook her head slightly: "It's nothing."

In the 732nd cycle of nightmare (and dream), Seele, after transforming into a Herrscher, went into hiding and happened to meet Yun Fuyu, who mistook her for an ordinary Seele.

Beside him, Seele enjoyed unprecedented care and attention, but in the end, as a Herrscher, she still mercilessly injured him.

It wasn't until then that Yun Fuyu confessed that he had always known Seele was a Herrscher, but he still clung to a sliver of hope that his care would help her recover. Unfortunately, he failed again.

As she regained her senses at the end, Seele gritted her teeth and plunged the knife into his heart—but, thankfully, "he dodged in time," and it only pierced his ribs.

Seele watched Freya intently biting into her bread, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat.

Is it my own memory returning, or am I using Seele in this world to regain my memories?

"..."

After breakfast, World Bubble Seele ate her fill, while Seele barely touched her food. The former pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "We should eat something else! It's white bread every day, and only I can eat that."

Seele shook her head: "No need to trouble yourself, I just don't have an appetite, I'll be fine after resting for a while."

World Bubble Seele touched Seele's forehead, then compared it to her own, and said with some confusion, "You don't have a fever."

Seele looked at her quietly, and in an instant, a strange thought rushed into her mind, almost making her breathless.

After a while, Seele finished cleaning up the dishes and came back to sit by the window to watch the snow. Suddenly, Seele asked, "Florence, have you noticed something strange?"

"what's up?"

World Bubble looked at Seele curiously, while Seele remained quietly watching her.

Our eyes met.

Their destinies are in sync.

—The souls converge.

Seele said slowly, "Since you came into this world, your personality has suddenly become much more lively, but I have become increasingly worried."

"—!"

World Bubble Seele's eyes widened, and she even wanted to look at herself in the mirror. But the "mirror" was everywhere, and standing opposite her was Seele.

Or perhaps, Seele's reflection in the mirror is her.

"..."

With great effort, Seele slumped down, her voice low and somber: "What exactly is our situation now?"

Seele calmly shook her head: "I don't know. But I guess it might be related to Yunfuyu."

Because Yun Fuyu is "destined" to both Seele. And since the two Seele were originally one, they naturally became more and more alike.

Seele, sensing something amiss, asked incredulously, "Your memories... have returned?"

Seele: "Maybe, maybe not."

She keenly realized her current state—in layman's terms, she was in "wise man mode."

To put it more formally, too much information flooded her mind, and coupled with Seele's naturally quick thinking, rational thought completely took over, leaving no room for any extraneous emotions.

If we were to put it in Seele's own words, it would be even more complicated.

"The world has yin and yang, which are mutually restraining and mutually generating. While the supreme god is indeed a person of the highest honor, let's not forget that there are two opposing 'supreme gods' in this world."

Seele keenly sensed that, influenced by that supreme god, the opposing quantum sea had also changed. He was devoid of humanity, yet He could think, speak, and act through Seele's body.

This is dangerous. If they're not careful, Seele's existence could be completely swallowed up. Just like when Yun Fuyu merged with the genes of the Great Free Heaven, he almost swallowed up both the Great Free Heaven and Seele's "existence".

But this is also an opportunity. Given her current special circumstances, Seele can quickly grasp a lot of information and deduce a lot of intelligence, which will help her quickly resolve her current troubles.

World Bubble Seele looked at Seele with some fear, and asked hesitantly, "What...what's going on with you? What happened?"

Seele's calm eyes flickered for a moment before regaining their composure. She said softly, "Florence, Seele, if one day I am no longer myself, then please continue to live as 'Seele.' Okay?"

World Bubble Seele stared blankly at her, then shook her head violently: "No way! You're not allowed to say things like that, like it's your last will and testament. Cheer up!"

Seele stopped talking to her, closed her eyes, and sighed.

"...The ways of the world are truly capricious."
