Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

【pity……】

Even this is beyond your control.

"Buzz—buzz—click"

The astronomical watch was completely damaged from the impact, but the audio recorded inside still started playing after sensing the boy.

"Dear Jiangcheng, can you hear me?"

"..."

"Please don't pretend you didn't hear me. I prepared this pocket watch specifically for a time when it was so dangerous that I wouldn't even be able to leave a proper last message. In my tests, it couldn't even be damaged by the Tsar Bomba from Russia."

"..."

"what……"

"I'm listening..."

Jiang Cheng closed his eyes, as if the lively yet withdrawn girl was still there, and those voices seemed to be spoken by the girl herself.

It seems... he hasn't lost that girl yet.

The girl I've always been embracing.

"In short, if you see this, please do not explore any further."

"No matter what my final fate is, the fact that I left this behind proves that my death will be extremely ugly. Even if it's for my own good, please don't continue exploring."

"..."

"Please, let this be my last wish."

It seems that when leaving his last words, he already knew the boy's answer in advance, and had thoroughly understood the gentle boy's personality.

The girl's first time acting cute and affectionate...

—Emitted from the cold astronomical table.

"..."

"..."

"it is good."

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyes, his voice incredibly suppressed, as if he had returned to that day's birthday party, the noisy scene, and the protagonist whom no one cared about.

"I knew you would agree."

The sounds from the astronomical clock also became cheerful, perhaps out of trust, the pre-recorded notes were even ready with joy.

"Although it may not be the best way to put it, I've actually figured out your personality a long time ago. It's really simple, nothing particularly complicated or difficult. I've just never dared to actually use it. Anyway, I'm dead now, so let me offend you a little, my dear Jiang Cheng."

"Now that things have come to this, you don't need to worry about anything else anymore. You don't need to hide your emotions anymore. You don't need to worry anymore. After all, no matter what, I can't possibly be feeling down now."

"No matter how bad my ending may be, Jiang Cheng, please don't feel guilty. I have been very satisfied with my life."

"No matter what you have been through, whether you feel fulfilled or not, do not add any mistakes to yourself or carry any sorrow."

"If I hadn't met you, I would definitely have become completely withdrawn due to my own resentment, or... who knows, I might have even developed a split personality?"

"Although I may not behave the way I usually do, I am actually quite confident in my abilities. I would say I am both insecure and confident."

"If someone as capable as me were to become extremely withdrawn, they might actually resort to self-deception and play house with themselves."

"It does sound ridiculous. Playing house is something only children do, let alone someone who is so lonely that they can only play by themselves."

"Anyway, no matter what the outcome, the real Velvet will definitely not appear in the world."

"It is because of you, as the best doctor and the best companion, that you have helped me, a mental patient, and have always been tolerant of my mistakes."

—How can I be considered a good companion?

Every step forward was taken by you, and every advancement in our relationship was made by you, who seemed insecure, suppressing your personality flaws.

How could there be a psychologist in the world who needs a patient's help?

This kind of psychologist is ridiculous and utterly incompetent!

Jiang Cheng didn't speak, keeping his mouth tightly shut, biting his lower lip hard with his teeth, not caring about the bleeding as he listened to that gentle voice, even though what he was hearing was just a pre-recorded last message.

Because this is an insult to the girl's last words.

How can you still deny the girl at this moment?

however……

—Emotions can never be betrayed.

Life cannot betray one's own heart.

The last sentence that remained in the empty heart was still the same.

I……

—How to match?

"Perhaps in your eyes, it's not a big deal to forgive some of my stupid mistakes, or some mistakes that are simply due to my own personality. But in this world, people who can forgive others without expecting anything in return are really rare."

"You can waste most of your time every day on an incompetent person, leave your own family for me, tolerate me when I do stupid things, and accept me instead of rejecting me when I suddenly confess my feelings."

"When I confessed my feelings, I didn't even have the slightest chance of winning, and I couldn't even calculate or figure out the chance of success."

"I am so honored to have met you, to have met someone who is willing to stay with me."

"Thank you so much! I really, really thank you!"

Vervi's sincere gratitude, even though the words were recorded at another point in time, still fully transcends time and convey the emotions.

Let's assume the worst-case scenario does occur, and let's assume this backup plan is actually used.

So, in her final moments, the girl will only have one thing to say.

--grateful.

I am grateful to this young man who could completely forgive my mistakes, who did everything he could to pull me out of the abyss of self-isolation, and who was willing to stay with me for life.

Even if this life may be extremely short, even if I still regret not being able to continue walking with the boy.

Even though there was still so much she wanted to tell Jiang Cheng.

The emotions that need to be expressed when you can never see each other again.

but……

That's enough.

It has ended.

We must absolutely not place any more burdens on the teenager.

You absolutely must not show the slightest reluctance or unwillingness.

Only such a one-time ending can bring a sense of relief to the boy, rather than another new and continuous tragedy.

When leaving her last words, Virvi thought about the person who was the most important and indispensable person in the boy's life, and who had been directly told during that question that he would never be able to live a normal life if he lost her.

If we really reach the most desperate and worst time, when even the backup plan fails to come into play.

What will happen to Jiangcheng?

It must be very difficult for them to accept and admit.

Just like her.

If Jiang Cheng were to die in front of her, Wilvi would undoubtedly go insane on the spot, and might even become a cold-blooded, ruthless, and despicable madwoman.

She was willing to believe that Jiang Cheng couldn't leave her either, just as Jiang Cheng was willing to believe in her.

Never let the boy suffer more pain when leaving. No matter how unwilling you are, you must never show your true feelings.

Once everything has come to a relatively peaceful end, the backup plan will be used to allow the boy to completely forget this deep-seated pain, so that Jiang Cheng will no longer have to endure the same sorrow that she once suffered.

Before being rescued, the girl was trapped in an emotional abyss; no one in the world knew her sadness and pain better than she did.

Jiangcheng absolutely cannot feel this kind of sorrow.

Such a gentle boy could never endure the torment he once suffered.

and so……

It cannot be remembered.

Unable to recall.

"Please don't look so sad. What I've experienced has been beautiful enough: fireworks, Ferris wheels, the night sky, and a kiss I never imagined."

"Vilvie's life has been perfectly performed under the gaze of the people she loves most, and it is wonderful that it can come to a perfect end."

"The life I am experiencing now is already wonderful enough to make me feel satisfied. I don't need any more sweetness to continue the chapter in the future."

"So, from now on, please forget me, please let my image disappear from your memory."

Please forget Vervière, please forget the performance as Vervière.

Please do not continue to recall this.

Let's try our best to find new happiness and beauty.

that's enough.
