Ayanami: I'm sorry to all my friends... I betrayed you all...

Tenacious: AYANAMI!

Tenacious: Grab my hand! I'll never let go of all of you!

Ayanami: *Wakes up*

Ayanami: Tenacious? *Sits as she was in a hospital bed having a bandage on her head*

Ayanami: My hands... Tenacious?

Ayanami looks at her surroundings, looking at the bright window, she says to herself that she is back at base. Now all memories are returning to her ever since the start.

Ark Royal: Don't even think about escaping.

Ayanami: Huh? *Looks to see Ark Royal*

Ark Royal: We have got eyes on you. *Carrying a paper bag of apples*

Ark Royal: But don't get the wrong idea. We aren't here to eat you alive or anything.

Ayanami: (This isn't the same woman I known... The one that saved me... and...)

Ayanami: Is this the Azur Lane base?

Ark Royal: I'm surprised. You know a lot, as expected. You did your research about this place. *Tosses an apple to her, ending with Ayanami catching it.*

Ark Royal: After the battle, you were unconscious and we picked you up.

Ark Royal: This officially means that you are a prisoner of war.

Ayanami: What about, those three? Are they okay?

Ark Royal: Worried about them, are you?
