Chapter 4: Proving Yourself in Lastation Part 1
"Yahoo Neptune and Nepgear!" Sapphire exclaimed, barging into their room with a wide smile on her face while stretching her arms out.
"Yo Sapphire!" Neptune exclaimed with the same huge smile towards Sapphire, giving her a wave. "And what you're doing on this fine morning today!" She asked, being pretty friendly.
"Visiting Lastation today!" She said, giving a smile before noticing that Nepgear was giving a rather surprised face. "What? Am I not allowed?" She asked, tilting her head.
"N-No! It's that–! You just toured Planeptune just yesterday." Nepgear explained with a rather calm look. "Are you not going to take a break from that?" She inquired before frowning a little.
"Oh. Right." The blue haired girl then looks at Nepgear with a small frown. "But I want to see what this dimension has to offer and hopefully, I pick up some stuff along the way." Sapphire said. "And the difference in how you guys work and how we work could help me with that."
"Ooh~! I see! So basically you're a workaholic with no clue what you're doing!" Neptune said with a smile, sounding like she was joking.
However, it seemed that Sapphire still got Neptune's joke as she gave the girl a really dorky smile. "Yep! And that's why I want to know how each nation's CPU works before I go." She said before seeing Neptune was giving her a very strange look. "Huh? Is there something wrong?" She inquired curiously, to which Neptune just sighed.
'Does Sapphire even know that Neptune was just teasing her?' Nepgear thought before she laughed awkwardly, before shaking her head. "Is that the other reason why you want to tour the nations?" She asked, seeing that the girl nodded.
"Yep! I don't know when I am going to be sent back to my dimension. So I gotta make the most of this accidental trip." She said, putting both hands on her hips. "Not everyday you get to visit another dimension." She added.
"I see I see…" Neptune muttered, nodding to herself and had completely forgotten the fact Sapphire was seemingly impervious to her kind of teasing. "Alrighty then, then let's go to Lastation!"
"Not so fast, Neptune." A small voice exclaimed, having everyone looked to see Histoire enter the room. "Where do you think you're going? We need you here to do your paperwork." She told her, giving the purple-haired girl a disapproving frown.
"I know. I know. But come on! Sapphire wants to explore Lastation and who would be better to do a tour than me!" Neptune exclaimed before she pointed at herself very proudly.
"I know you're just saying that just to get out of work. But you have a responsibility as a CPU." Histoire said with crossed arms. "And you need to take your responsibilities whether you want to or not." She added, giving Neptune a very stern look.
"Aw man!" Neptune groaned, looking down in defeat. "But if I can't, is she going to go? Because she wants to go to Lastation." Neptune asked before pointing at Sapphire.
"For experience!" Sapphire piped up, giving everyone a rather bright look on her face. "CPU work experience." She immediately added before she then looked towards Histoire with anticipation.
"Sapphire. I know this is your first time in a new dimension. But, please at least be reasonable." Histoire said, trying her best to discourage her. "At least take a breather after each tour."
Sapphire first narrowed her eyes. "I know, Histoire! But still, I want to know what the nations of this dimension are like? What are each of the CPUs like?" She said, seeing that her huge smile softened a little. "It's something I'm thinking about everyday." She added. "So please let me go to Lastation. There's something I really REALLY want to ask the nation's leader." She pleaded with puppy dog eyes.
But before Histoire was about to speak up. "Um…Histoire? Maybe I could take her to Lastation." Nepgear spoke up, catching everyone's attention. "It's just a thought that popped into my head. Sorry…" She muttered looking down.
"Ooh~! Nice plan, Nepgear!" Sapphire exclaimed, pointed at her before reaching out and grabbing her hand. "Can I take her? Please? Please~?" She asked, turning to Histoire with pleading eyes.
Histoire looked down in thought before letting out a large sigh. "Okay. But after your visit, please at least take a break before you go to the next nation." She told the young girl. "You shouldn't rush your experiences. Take them in one at a time, okay?"
"Hmm… Okay!" Sapphire exclaimed, nodding like a child before turning to Nepgear. "Well then, let's go Nepgear!" She said before pulling the poor girl along.
"Wait! But what about me!?" Neptune asked before seeing Histoire burrowing down on her, making the said girl cower in fear.
"You, on the other hand, will stay here to do your work." The small fairy said with crossed arms. "And do not drag anyone into your work." She immediately added, looking at her with a glare.
"And besides, this is not my nation, so please take responsibility for your people, okay?" Sapphire spoke up, giving a smile that can either be described as airheaded or scary. "Bye, Neptune! Hope you enjoy your work!" She exclaimed before she then dragged Nepgear out of the room.
"Sapphire! Waaaait!" Nepgear exclaimed while she looked at the back of the blue-haired girl with a panicked look across her face as she was dragged so fast that she felt like a flag in the wind.
"Hm?" Sapphire then stopped before turning to Nepgear. "Oh! Sorry about that! Just very excited! Ehe…" She giggled with a smile, scratching the back of her head. "Either way, could we fly over there? I'm sure Lastation is pretty far from here." She asked.
"Oh. Um. Sure!" Nepgear said before waving it off. "But we should head to the balcony. That's where we usually transform." She added immediately, giving the young-looking girl a small smile.
"Mmh… Okay!" Sapphire piped up, giving her a quick nod. "Then take me to the balcony!" She exclaimed, pointing at Nepgear with a huge, dorky smile on her face.
'She really does remind me of Neptune. Well, other than…' Her mind flashes back to the scene of Sapphire threatening that man from yesterday, before shaking that image off her mind. 'I really hope I'm wrong about any of this and she is not like someone else…' She thought, frowning a little.
"Hm? Is there something, Nepgear?" Sapphire asked, tilting her head with confusion and a hint of concern.
"N-No! It's nothing!" She said immediately, waving her arms frantically. "I'm just thinking about what I should get for Neptune! That's all!" She added.
"Oh? That sounds nice! I wish I had a sister like you." Sapphire said with a smile sadly. "But the chance happening to me is super duper low…" She muttered dejectedly before she then looked down.
"I'm sure you will get a sister someday. Just don't kidnap someone else's sister if you don't get lucky." Nepgear reassured her while muttering that last part.
"Aw! Thanks, Nepgear! I'll make sure I'll remember what you said!" The blue-haired girl exclaimed, going back to her more dorky smile.
"Oh. Um. Thanks." Nepgear thanked her with a smile before narrowing her eyes again because of what she knew of this girl, she took everything at face value. "Um… wait… which part did you take seriously?" She asked.
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Sapphire asked, looking at her with bewildering eyes, to which Nepgear just quickly waved it off.
"Actually! nevermind…" Nepgear said before she laughed awkwardly before walking off, beckoning Sapphire to follow her. "Let's just go, okay? Forget what I said." She told her, who nodded almost immediately.
When they reached the balcony, Nepgear turned to Sapphire, stared at her for a while before taking a deep breath. "Okay… Processor Unit Set!" She exclaimed, activating her HDD becoming a blinding light. When it dimmed, in the place of Nepgear, was her HDD form called Purple Sister.
"Ooh~! So pretty~!" Sapphire exclaimed with sparkling eyes while she stared at Purple Sister's form in complete admiration.
"Haha… Are you sure?" Purple Sister asked with a wry smile. Even if she's a bit confident in this form, she still has some Nepgear-isms somewhere in there. "Because I'm not good compared to Sis…" She said, slowly going quiet.
"Eh? Sure you are! Have some confidence in yourself." Sapphire exclaimed before looking off with thought for a while. "Actually, it's okay that you feel the way you are now. It just means you have people that you put your trust in." She said with a smile. "Either way, enough about that, okay?"
"Yeah. But thank you for that." Purple Sister answered before she wryly smiled before giving both of her hands to Sapphire, who didn't need her to say anything to know what that means and took her hands. Then the purple-haired Candidate activated her wing processors before flying off, carrying the blue-haired girl with her.
Flying out of Planeptune, Sapphire seemed to be enamored by the most random things that are the weirdest things to be enamored by like forests, mountains, and lakes. Maybe it's due to the girl seeing a different dimension, but Purple Sister wasn't so sure.
"So… um… do you like what you're seeing?" Purple Sister asked in the most awkward way she could have said that question.
"Yep. Actually, this has been a while since I saw some sort of scenery… Since, you know, I never go out all that much…" Sapphire said while she smiled that seemed rather nostalgic. "Sorry if this sounds weird, but sometimes there's a part of me that wants to explore every nook and cranny. Whether it's this dimension or mine." She said, slowly going quiet.
"That doesn't sound weird to me. I think you should listen to that part of you." Purple Sister told the girl that she was carrying. "Like Sis always said, if there's something you want to do, then do it." She then smiled a little.
"Wow! That's some words of wisdom…" Sapphire muttered in awe and thought. "You really admire your sister, huh." She said, staring up at Purple Sister. "I can tell by how you talk about her." She added.
"I mean… Yeah. She's the best, even though it doesn't look like it." Purple Sister said, muttering that last part. "She has that aura around her that would bring people spirits up. It's hard to explain…" She laughed awkwardly.
"Oh no. I think I understand that sentiment. I had someone like that a while back… She was a great inspiration for me." She said, nodding with understanding. "She was one of the best fighters I knew and–" Sapphire then shook her head. "Actually… Let's not talk about her right now…" She murmured.
"Hm? Is there something wrong?" The purple-haired Candidate asked, curious about why she decided to avoid talking about this person that was her inspiration.
"N-No! There's nothing wrong! It's that–! well–!" Sapphire frowned a little, looking down a little. "Can we drop this? It's just really hard to say…" She said, but Purple Sister could tell that she was burdened by something.
'I shouldn't pry any further. It sounds like something she doesn't like talking about…' She thought, sort of understanding that this is definitely something she shouldn't talk about. "So… um… what do you want to talk about?" She asked, changing the subject.
"Hmm… Maybe about Lastation? What's it like over there? What is their nation's CPU like? " Sapphire asked with curiosity. "Because my Lastation is more of a utopian paradise and the CPU is um… a bit weird to say the least."
"Oh really? Well our Lastation is… oh! There it is!" Purple Sister exclaimed as she looked over to Lastation, before looking back at Sapphire, who was enamored by the nation. "As I was about to say, Lastation is more of a huge industrial nation, so they always have factories running. And their CPU, Noire, is always hard working, always to put her people over her own." She told the blue-haired girl. "I'm friends with Uni, Lastation CPU Candidate, the girl in the black dress you met a few days back. She always has my back when I'm in danger."
"I see I see! They sound like pretty good people…" Sapphire muttered with a small smile. "How about we go to Lastation's Basilicom so that I can truly meet with them and ask a few questions." She suggested while looking like she was in thought. "And then we can go around Lastation and see all the differences from my dimension's Lastation." She added immediately after.
"Okay. But didn't you read Noire's mind before?" Purple Sister asked. "So you wouldn't need to know anything about her." She told her, seeing the girl frowning a little.
"I know. But I have a five to ten second limit to how much I can read someone's mind before… well… I get overloaded with way too much information and pass out." Sapphire said, explaining her abilities to the young CPU Candidate. "That and truly meeting a person and talking to them versus using an ability just to get to know someone are two different things." She told her before giving a childlike grin. "I just like getting to know someone through their own voice. That's all." She added afterwards.
"Oh. I can see what you mean by that." Purple Sister mused, seeing that it sort of made sense. She then looked around, noticing that they were already in Lastation. "We're coming up to the Basilicom. Let's head over to the balcony so we can meet Noire and Uni." She told the blue-haired girl, who nodded immediately.
Purple Sister flew in closer to the Basilicom, circling around it until they found the balcony. When she flew in closer, she put Sapphire down before undoing her transformation and landing on her feet.
"Ooh~! So this is where that Noire lives!" Sapphire exclaimed while she looked around. "Feels very regal." She hummed to herself as she nodded. "Alrighty then! Let's find Noire and–!"
"NEPGEAR! WHY DID YOU BRING HER HERE!?" They heard someone roar, seeing that Noire was stomping onto the balcony.
"Oh. Hi Noire!" Sapphire exclaimed, waving at her with a huge smile. "I was about to find you, but I guess you found us first!" She said before she put her hands behind her head.
"Of course I did. I just heard that Planeptune's CPU Candidate was flying into Lastation carrying a blue-haired girl." Noire said, frowning with crossed arms. "Either way, Nepgear. Why did you bring her here?" She asked.
"O-Oh! She sort of kept begging us to bring her here." Nepgear said, pressing her two fingers together. "So I kind of folded and brought her here. B-But…! She has a good reason to be here! Right?" She then looked towards the girl, letting her speak.
"Yep! I want you to give some tips about work." Sapphire said, putting her hands on her hips before looking down a little. "Well. Stuff pertaining to multitasking because that's something I have trouble with…" She muttered. "But just some helpful tips. Nothing more." She added immediately.
Noire just frowned a little, and seemed to be very apprehensive. "Did you ask anyone else before coming here?" She asked.
"Nope! I just figured that you're my best bet for this!" She said, giving the most childish smile Gamindustri ever sees.
"Jeez… I can't believe this…" Noire muttered with crossed arms. "Look. If you really want help, let's do this another time. I'm really busy right now, so come back tomorrow, okay?" She then turned on her heels "Okay, bye now." She said before walking away.
"Eh? What? Wait…!" Sapphire exclaimed as she ran after the black-haired CPU. "I really want your help now. You seemed very hard-working! At least, that was the vibe I got from you." She said, muttering that last part.
"Did she get that from reading my memories or what?" Noire muttered under her breath before looking at her. "Sorry. I have a very busy schedule and I would rather do this later than now."
"Eh. Why!?" Sapphire exclaimed before standing in front of her, trying to stop her from walking away. "I know we just met, but I just want some tips. Come on! Please?" She said, staring at her with pleading eyes.
Noire just stared at her, like she was studying her. "Sorry, I can't right now. And besides, I don't exactly trust you right now." She told her with crossed arms. "No offense, but you seem like the least likely person to actually put in the work." She explained her reasoning. "That and what you can do just rubs me the wrong way." She said, giving the girl a disapproving frown.
"Eh…?" Sapphire said, staring at her in with a bit of shock before she then frowned a little. "I think I can understand that, but still…" She looked down a little like she was thinking about something, but she was quiet for a bit too long.
Noire sighed before walking past the thinking girl. "Look. If you don't have anything, you just have to–" She was about to say, before the girl ran in front of her again.
"Wait!" Sapphire exclaimed, interrupting Noire. "How about I prove it to you? That I'm more than just your first impressions!" She said, giving a rather serious look. "Like you can just watch me and um…" She bit her lip before opening mouth again. "And we can compete in field work! Yeah!" She told Noire, though it sounds like she's just grabbing straws at this point.
"What?" Noire asked immediately, crossing her arms. "And why should I do that?"
"Well! If you don't take it, it just means you're too scared to lose!" Sapphire asked, making Noire immediately flinched. "But I understand why you won't take it. You're probably a pretty weak CPU…" She said, muttering that last part.
"Say WHAT!?" Noire exclaimed before looking at her with a shocked, yet angry expression on her face. "Alright, I'll take this competition! Meet me in the main lobby after a few hours. Don't be late!" She quickly walked past Sapphire and left the balcony, stomping her foot with each step.
Sapphire just stared at where Noire left, turning to Nepgear with a huge grin on her face. "That went well, right Nepgear?" She said with her hands on her hips.
'Are you sure that went well!?' Nepgear asked, seeming like she was panicking a bit about what she just saw. 'It just looks like you just goaded her into a fight!' She then shook her head. "Um… I don't think you should–" Her voice then slowly trailed off before the excited girl's voice became bombastic.
"Either way! Come on, Nepgear! Let's head over to the lobby and wait over there." Sapphire exclaimed before she ran over and grabbed her hand and literally yanked her away.
"Wait! hold on! I think we should talk to Noire about thisssss!" Nepgear exclaimed before she was then immediately dragged away like a flag in the wind.
–
And immediately after they got lost in the Lastation's Basilicom. So Nepgear had to lead Sapphire around the building until they reached the lobby and waited there. The blue-haired girl pacing back and forth excitedly while the latter was looking around nervously.
"Um… Are you sure we can't talk this out?" Nepgear asked, in which the girl turned to her with a frown and a slight tilt of her head.
The girl looked at her in thought for a while, before looking down. "I know… I usually avoid fights or competitions, but I want to show her what I can do." Sapphire said with crossed arms. "And besides, I want to learn more about how she acts both in and out of fights, not by using my ability. This is great for me." She explained, though the way she mentioned her ability sounded like she genuinely hates it.
'I wonder why though… It sounds like a good ability to have. But from the way it sounds, she has another reason why she doesn't like using it…' Nepgear thought while she rubbed her chin. "Hey Sapphire? Can I ask–?" She was about to ask.
"Nepgear. Could you save it for later?" Someone asked, turning to the owner of that voice was Noire, followed by Uni.
"Oh? So you finally decided to come. And here I thought you would chickened out." Sapphire said with a smirk, making her seem like she was tempting her.
"Of course I won't chicken out. You're the one that challenged me first." Noire said with a frown and crossed arms. "And besides, I genuinely doubt you can beat me." She added.
"Ooh~! Fighting words~!" Sapphire puts her hands on her hip and leans in. "Well, I don't care what we do. As long as it's something we can both do." She then gave her a thumbs up sign. "And then I can show you what I can do!" She exclaimed with a huge smile.
Noire just rolled her eyes. "You really are like Neptune…" She muttered very quietly so that no one could hear.
Uni, on the other hand, slowly walked her way to Nepgear and whispered in her ear. "So uh… what's going on? Did that girl upset Noire on purpose or by accident?" She asked.
"Yeah… And it was on purpose." Nepgear whispered back to the black-haired Candidate, who frowned at that.
"Jeez! Why is this girl doing this?" Uni muttered under her breath as she crossed her arms. "I understand that she wants to prove herself, but this is going a bit too far." She added.
"Yeah, but I think she seemed to be the type of person who would do anything to get what she wants." Nepgear whispered back to her, clasping her hands together. "At least, that's what I'm getting from her…" Her voice then trailed off again.
"Hmm… yeah. she's really weird." Uni hummed in agreement, tilting her head to the side and frowned. "But she's more of Neptune weird from my first impression of her, not like weird weird, y'know?" She said before she turned to her purple-haired friend.
"Hehe… That's my exact impression of her as well." Nepgear told Uni with a smile. "She might be a bit on the weird side, but she seems pretty nice though…" She looked down with a frown. "Something really strange happened yesterday." She muttered to Uni.
"Yeah? What is it?" Uni asked as she looked at her friend with confusion, leaning on her left side.
"Well…" Nepgear then noticed Sapphire walking back to her, waving her hand side to side. "I might talk about it later because of–" She then trailed off.
"Hey Nepgear! Guess what? We're going on some quests!" Sapphire exclaimed proudly with a huge smile. "And we're competing to see who can complete a few quests the fastest in a single area! Really amazing, right?" She said with eyes gleaming with joy.
"O-Oh. I see…" Nepgear said, giving her a nervous smile. She personally doesn't want this to happen, but knowing Noire, she won't let this go until she can one up Sapphire.
Noire, on the other hand, just rolled her eyes at this. "I knew I should have backed out when I had the chance…" She muttered under her breath. "Look. Just because you got me rope into this, doesn't mean I'm going to accept you. Whether or not I win or lose." She told the blue-haired girl, frowning.
"Right. Okay! Then that just means I'm gonna work even harder now!" Sapphire exclaimed, pumping her fist into the air. "I'll show you that there's more to me than just your first impressions!" She added, sounding very determined.
'She is not lying when she says this…' Nepgear thought, immediately sweatdropped while she was again reminded of yesterday's event. "So… um… what quests are you guys doing?" She asked.
"Well, Like Sapphire had said earlier, we're only doing quests in one single area. To make it consistent." Noire said, explaining everything to the purple-haired girl. "We need to do as many quests as we can until we run out. Doesn't matter if they are hard or easy. You just have to complete them no matter what."
"Yup yup! And it sounds pretty easy! Given if you won't cheat in this competition." Sapphire said as she looked toward Noire with suspicion, rubbing her chin.
"Of course I won't. I have pride as a CPU. I won't stoop that low to get a win." Noire told her before frowning. "Why would you think that was the case?" She asked, looking at this girl with a bit of confusion and a raised eyebrow.
"Don't know. Pretty used to seeing people doing that. Well. Not that I care anyways." Sapphire said with a shrug. "Anyhow! Where to? The Guild?" She asked, looking at the black-haired CPU with excitement.
"Yep. Just don't do anything stupid while we're walking there." Noire told her before letting out a sigh as she closed her eyes.
"Don't worry! I won't! Promise! Neehee!" Sapphire said with a smile, holding up a pinky. "Either way, let's go! Let's go!" She exclaimed, jumping up and down.
"I'm going to regret this, aren't I…" Noire muttered before walking off, followed by Uni and Nepgear, leading the way to the Guild, seemed to be very annoyed by this.
Though surprisingly to Nepgear, Sapphire was very much behaving, the complete opposite of yesterday's events. Even though she had those sparkling eyes, she just looked around quietly, seeing the sights and hearing the machinery sounds of Lastation.
When they finally reached the Guild, Noire went to the receptionist and decided on what quest she should accept while the others waited for her. But that was when Sapphire started to run her mouth again.
"So! Uni, right?" Sapphire looked towards the young Candidate who wondered why she was calling her. "How do you make your hair like that?" She asked, catching her off guard.
"Oh. right. you were interested in Sis's hair…" Uni muttered before crossing her arms and leaned on her left side. "And why should I answer that?" She asked, she looked toward Nepgear with a frown, seeing her chuckled awkwardly.
"Because a friend of mine keeps telling me to change up my hairstyles… It's so annoying!" Sapphire exclaimed with a childish pout. "So I really need to prove her wrong!" She told the black-haired Candidate.
"Uh… Okay?" Uni was very confused for a second since, to her, it's just very simple. Though it would probably be hard with hair like that. "Just grab a small bundle on either side and tie it up with a ribbon or whatever." She said, giving her a bit of a tip.
"Oh. Okay. I might try that." Sapphire said, immediately accepting such a barebones explanation. "By the way, do you like your sister?" She asked all of the sudden, catching her guard off again. "And this question is going to you, Nepgear!" She then points towards Nepgear.
"W-Well… Nepgear! You should answer first!" Uni exclaimed, pushing Nepgear to answer.
"Huh!? Me!? Um… well, you already know this, but I really like my sister. She's the best in the world." Nepgear said in admiration. "It's the same with Uni as well." She said, turning to Uni, who sputtered when she said that.
"W-Wh–!? Nepgear!? Don't just say that all of the sudden!" Uni exclaimed in embarrassment since, while she does love her sister, she doesn't like saying it to a random stranger and not to someone like her.
"Hehe… Sorry Uni." Nepgear said before she turned to Sapphire. "But, yeah. We love our sisters. Why do you ask?" She tilted her head to the side.
"No reason. Just make sure you look out for them like they would the same for you." Sapphire said with a smile. "Protect them like they would protect them. And understand how they feel when they're doing what they do." She told them, sounding like she was giving them advice.
"Eh?" Uni looked very befuddled for a second before shaking it off. She was really surprised by how sound this girl was. Not that anyone could blame her for thinking that because of the way she was acting towards the last time she was her. "Uh… What's with the advice all of the sudden?" She asked.
"Hehe… Just something that might be useful to Candidates like you!" Sapphire said with a smile, putting a hand on her hip. "And something that randomly popped into my mind. That's all." She added.
"Oh. I see." Uni said with a frown and crossed arms. That really terrible explanation didn't exactly make sense for her. Why would someone like her giving random advice that she just popped in her head.
Nepgear, on the other hand, while she did find it a bit strange that the girl was giving sound advice, she just accepted it. "Hehe. Thanks, Sapphire." She told the girl with a bow. 'The more I'm hanging out with Sapphire, the more weird it gets.' She thought, commenting on this.
"I'm back." Someone spoke up, as they looked back to see Noire walking back to them. "I got some quests we're going to compete with." She told Sapphire. "Be prepared. I won't go easy on you." She said, pointing at the girl.
"Yeah yeah…" Sapphire muttered, shaking her head."At least you know not to underestimate me." She said, pointing at Noire before placing both hands on her hips. "Anywho, let's get over to where the quests are!" She exclaimed.
"Right." Noire muttered, sounding like she doesn't even believe how out there this girl is. "Just follow me." She said before speed walking away, almost like she was trying to get away from her.
"Eeh…!?" Sapphire exclaimed, surprised by how fast she was walking. "Hey! Wait! For me!" She then rushed after the black-haired CPU, trying to catch up to her, in which the former started to walk even faster.
Meanwhile, Nepgear and Uni just look at each other before the latter just shrugged. "I guess we have to see where this mess goes." She said, in which the former nodded.
"Yeah. Let's go, Uni." Nepgear said before they rushed after the other two.
That's all for now! Sorry for cutting this one short as well! I thought it would be weird to fit some ideas I have for the Lastation part into one chapter. So instead I'll split into two.
I do hope I got Noire and Uni correct because it's something I started to have a hard time with as I was writing the chapter. But hopefully, I get their personalities down pat.
Either way, Please Review and Stay Safe!
