Scattered Flowers

1: [Although the Chimaera were repelled from Sakihama the mission was an absolute disaster for at least one of the members on it. As the damaged machines are returned to Sakihama, Strahlend shambles in resembling can only be described as a complete wreck. As Willis manages to climb down from the cockpit of the broken remains of Strahlend the injuries that he personally sustained are very apparent. Several large chunks of his body were missing from the impalement he suffered  and his arm hung on only by a thread. Despite this he began to limp towards the now empty Amagahara.

Once again he was betrayed by his friends, someone he had trusted had been responsible for everything and even now he had no idea why she did it. Every step he took reminded him of this until he reached the base of the original now function-less U.I.I.N machine. ]

Elys...

[He continued to stand in that single place, waiting and staring at the cockpit hoping that she would reform or emerge from it.]

2:



[At the same time another person returns to Sakihama as well, a familiar to some machine lands in the hangar and the woman indirectly responsible for what had happened emerges from it.]

"Willis..."

[As she spots him she hesitates to move, even though it seemed like everything would finally go right her actions had led to the situation they were in now.]

Let us start with the basics.

How are you still alive?

[a_linear_mind]

"...like how Jen came back there. I'm..."

[There's a bit of hesitation from her but she quickly realizes that now was not the time for that.]

"Like them, a Chimaera that managed to retain its human form. I guess you could call me the first one."

[abugslife]

And your presence alone attracts other Chimaera. Even though you are not the one controlling them, as it turned out.

What were you doing between your assumed death and now? Why did you show yourself to Willis only recently? Were you on the run?

[a_linear_mind]

"Yes..."

[At the latter part though she shakes her head.]

"I can only make a guess but it took some time for my body to be restored, even longer for my mind to follow. For me it's only been a few weeks since I've regained my own sense of self. I spent that time trying to make sense of the situation and hiding from the Aegis members who were chasing after me.

I know you might not believe me but it's the truth..."

[abugslife]

...No. I believe you. You have no reason to lie to me at this point.
