To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Theresa looked up at Karen with some curiosity and asked, then subconsciously snuggled closer to Karen.

"Yes, at that time I was determined to die, and wanted to use my life to launch a final struggle to end my life."

Karen said quietly, without stopping the questions.

"Sigh, if only you had communicated properly back then..."

Theresa's face showed some hesitation. Although she had always disliked Otto, he was just a fictional character in the game, and at the time she thought...

After repeated historical searches, there was indeed no information available.

But now, she has long realized that her grandmother and Otto do indeed have a close relationship.

How to put it? She was intimidated by being friends with Otto, but if her grandmother was around, he didn't seem to be so afraid of her.

In a sense, the other party truly loved his grandmother and was willing to do anything for her.

She also believed in the other person's feelings.

But it seems his grandmother doesn't have those kinds of feelings for him. She cares, but it's not shown in their expressions.

Of course, she couldn't possibly ask her grandmother about her love life.

"Yes, if we could communicate properly..."

Karen nodded somewhat wistfully, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

Communication is arguably the simplest skill humans possess, yet often, despite doing a great deal, we miss this crucial step.

Therefore, the two never stood on the same side again.

That was her thought during her escape, but the situation was unpredictable. When she returned, it was too late, and the village in the Far East was also desolate.

"Perhaps from the very first step, one wrong step led to another... I should have revealed it sooner; what I needed back then was someone to change the world with me,"

“I always thought Otto was the same way, but it turns out he isn’t… If I explain things clearly, he’ll be willing to be with me…”

Karen said with some regret,

But this is merely the awakening of past memories, memories that are dredged up and savored in the face of past sorrows.

She remains the same Bishop of Destiny; there are no "what ifs."

...

Yingjie's side also saw that familiar thing, and they suddenly felt as if they also had their own problems.

"That black box... it must be it."

"Yes, I think so too. Considering the comic part, it's quite obvious."

"It's probably a legacy issue. Although I don't know how it ended up in the shape of a katana, its essence is undoubtedly that of the Herrscher of Erosion."

Mebius nodded somewhat reluctantly. Who knew so many things would happen after that knife?

Oh no, it should be a black box.

However, if it weren't for an unexpected incident, Ling might not have survived, so the group didn't make a sound.

Well, how should I put it... everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The Herrscher, who is already under control...

Who knew that humans would release them on their own initiative? Besides, the location where they were stored should be secure.

"Sigh, it was such a good chance to develop into a suitable relationship, but it was interrupted like this. What a pity..."

Alicia couldn't help but sigh.

Looking back at Otto and Karen's past, all I can say is, they were just one step away.

Both are amazing individuals, and their complementary talents could definitely create something extraordinary. Unfortunately, Otto was too focused on Kallen and failed to notice many things.

Or perhaps, they encountered the greatest upheavals at a very young age, so much so that they failed to live the perfect life they should have had.

"Love? Putting aside whether Karen's feelings for Otto are truly love, Otto's feelings alone are definitely not as simple as love..."

"Wait, why are you yearning for something like love?"

Mebius asked suspiciously, looking at Alicia with some confusion.

"Hmm?" Ellie wasn't shy at all; instead, she struck a pose for him to admire, after all, she was so cute!

"Something's not right... You haven't been scammed, have you?"

"Oh dear, what do you mean by being deceived? Who doesn't yearn for beautiful love? In the realm of human emotions, it's an extremely dazzling color, a radiance that even I long for."

"Doesn't Mebius want to have a sweet romance with me?"

"Well...?" Möbius only heard the first part of the sentence and was about to nod when he heard the second part.

Her lips twitched slightly.

"Talk to me my ass! Go find someone else, don't bother me!"

"Hehe—, are you shy?"

"Thinking too much."

...
