I know this place. It's the Rejection Calf, Seraphix's disposal facility.

＠
For SE.RA.PH in its current form, it serves as the trash can for those of us who couldn't be salvaged.

The exhaustion nearly drives the breath from me. The pain in my limbs is almost enough to make me scream in agony.

...This is what I get for pushing myself too hard.

Now that I think about it, I've been working for days on end, nonstop, since the last run through SE.RA.PH.

I felt nothing but fear and despair back then.

I cried every night knowing that my abilities might ultimately not be enough to protect that person. Wondering when that crucial time would come.

But...that person only smiled. And so, my weak self did everything in its power to follow.

It was so fun that I wept.[sr]It was so harsh that I laughed.

No matter how hard things got, it was all so radiant.

That's right. I swore that I would fight any opponent as long as I still had breath in my body.
