Глава 15

It's okay, Doctor.

If it hurts, say so.

I won't touch your emotions without permission... But I want to share the burden.

Me too... Doctor.

I promised Dr. Kal'tsit that I would do my duty and protect the Doctor. I'll do it.

This time, I will not cry until Rhodes Island's mission is complete.

...I really miss her.

Are you alright, Mon3tr?

The girl does not answer. She is focused on the databank before her, searching for something.

A massive amount of data scrolls before her eyes, and her gaze grows intent.

There's so much...

She left so much data that I never got to access.

Maybe there's a way... it's possible...

There is a way, Doctor...

We can bring Kal'tsit back.

Reading restricted log <color=#FF4200>(Unknown)</color>...

For now, allow me to call you by the name that we chose together, Mon3tr.

People pour love into life and long for salvation whether in hope or fear. That's why they choose to pray to gods that they've never seen...

—That life may never end.

But how could it come true? Even the most tired river must eventually flow into the ocean.

When the final moment comes, when sun, moon and stars fade... when the swaying waves no longer murmur, when all sound and sights are gone.

When the colors of winter and spring are no more, and the boundary of night and day blurs—

And only eternal slumber in endless night remains.

It was a poem that my maker read to me when we were lying upon the frozen earth, both exhausted from playing.

Eternal life is destined to be eternally lonely. I have known how it feels.

I am sure you too can walk alone—

Mon3tr.
