Commandant...

Commandant...?

Commandant... Something feels off. Quit leading me on.

Is this...

Is it mechanical debris from the nearby factory? It might be corrupted by the Punishing Virus! Commandant, get behind me!

It might look like snow, but my scanner indicates that it's mechanical debris. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the ID system either.

Commandant, inject a serum! I'll try and hold off until Lucia and Lee get back...!

Huh? Commandant? What's so funny?

Huh? Let me see... My analysis indicates that there's... no Punishing Virus... What is this...?

...Huh?

...Hmm...

Liv still looks confused. Maybe she doesn't know what is happening.

However, by the look of her raised eyebrows, you can tell how elated she really is.

After a brief moment, she realizes that this was not caused by the horrific Punishing Virus, and lowers her guard temporarily—

She sets down her bags and becomes completely immersed in the scenery before you, showing a rare smile.

At that moment, she's no longer the Liv you know. She's no longer the girl with a past full of regrets.

Even though this moment is trivial... Even though they will soon continue to fight for the wishes of mankind...

This is enough. This is what they needed—

(Static)

Lee, the snow is letting up. Any problems over there?

Lee

The White Kuroro's running low on cogs. We've got another two or three minutes at most. Move on to the next phase ASAP, Lucia.

I still don't know where Nanami is. Things aren't looking good.

I'll go get her. Try to hold out a little longer. You got this, Lee.
