The power of the wisdom cube lasts only for a few generations, and eventually, a child would be born with only the barest hint of the characteristics of their progenitor. However, in the Sakura Empire, one trait reigned supreme, and that was the physical characteristics of the original shipgirl.
This would have a cascading effect, but for all intents and purposes, kansen were an extraordinary race brought to fruition at an extraordinary time. Yet… the passage of time flows unhindered. The world would never forget the Siren War, or the kansen. Their memories are everywhere, and the IJN Suruga stands as a testament to their grandeur and power.
A life-sized statue of her and Kohiko stands at the entrance to the international monument that is her battleship. It has been maintained to such a standard that Suruga herself would be proud to see it once again.
It contains the history of the entire conflict, from start to finish, and of the brave actions of all the shipgirls who took part. You can roam the ship, though there is only one rule…
The captain's cabin is strictly off limits. The door has remained locked since Suruga and Kohiko left it for the last time, and left with specific instructions for it never to be opened.
Inside… well, inside remains a shrine to their love, a private beacon they set up to guide their spirits together again, so they would spend the afterlife with each other as well, no matter what came next.
