FIRST PERSON POV
When I wake up, I am surprised that I was not in my bed, I was in the ocean at night, around me I can only see listed, sunken or burning ships, the sea is also covered in flames from the oil and spilled oil.
Me: (Total confusion) What? Where I am? I was in bed.
On one side I see someone, when I zoom in on that place I see a person... no, a woman wearing a worn cape and her rig is an aircraft carrier, she carries several corpses of high-ranking sirens and the Piles in one place making a mound of siren corpses.
I approach the woman and she seems to notice me because she turns her head and looks at me out of the corner of her eye and then gets up even with her back turned to me.
Me: Excuse me, I don't know where I am, but I want to get out of this place. Where is the exit?
???: War...
Me: (Confusion) War?
At that she turns around and I see her face surprising me, she is Enterprise, but her face does not indicate kindness but hostility and bloodlust, this girl is not Enterprise so I get on alert and activate all my passive defense systems and active.
Enterprise?: I repeat, through time, over every ocean, I continue fighting, an endless war, this ocean wrapped in flames... it is my true Crimson Lane, soon it will be for all of you as well.
At that point she shows me the black mental cube that I saw at the meeting, I try to get away, but the cube glows and then I wake up very startled, breathing heavily.
Me: Was it a dream? What the hell was that?
I look at my surroundings and see that it hasn't dawned yet, it was a nightmare, I look at the clock to realize that there is an hour left until dawn, I guess I'm going to breathe clean air to clear my mind, so I go to the laundry room and wash my face , I comb my hair and dress in sports clothes and go jogging for a while.
So I start jogging around the base, it's a good exercise and also clears my mind, along the way I say hello to the girls who patrol during the night.
After finishing my second lap I see that it is beginning to dawn, at the moment I am in a somewhat elevated place so I can see a great sunrise.
Me: Wow, that's why I really love waking up early and running at this time.
Then I return to my rooms to take a shower and clean off the sweat from my marathon. When I get to my room I see Sirius surprised.
Sirius: Her majesty? Why are you up so early?
Me: I went out for a run, it's good to exercise.
Sirius: Since you worked so late yesterday, I thought you would wake up a little late, and today is your day off.
Me: Yes, I had those plans, but... let's talk inside.
So we go into my room, I undress to dry my sweat with a towel that I had prepared before going out for a run and I cover myself with it, then I sit on the chair.
Sirius: What do you have to tell me?
Me: Well, in the early morning I had a nightmare.
Sirius: A nightmare?
Me: Yes, that left me very uneasy so I decided to go out for a while to clear my mind, it was a dream where I was at sea where everything was burning in flames, many allied ships were sinking and then I found a META version of Enterprise and she showed me the black mind cube that Sheffy stole from the empire. She told me that our end is near.
Sirius: I see.
Just then she comes over and hugs me to comfort me.
Sirius: Don't worry, that was just a bad dream, so everything will be fine.
Me: I do.
Sirius: Well, she brought her breakfast.
Me: (Smiles) You know it's not necessary.
Sirius: Sorry, it's the old habit, I can't help it even though she tells me it every day.
Me: Okay, I'll eat here, but with one condition.
Sirius: Which one is it?
Me: You will join me for breakfast, I don't like to eat alone, you know?
Sirius: (sigh) Okay, I'll accompany you.
Then we started having breakfast, at breakfast we talked about various trivial topics so it was pleasant. After breakfast, since I smelled of sweat, I went to take a bath and after dressing, I went out with my maid to spend my day off.
THIRD PERSON POV
At noon Wales and Cleveland walk towards the R&D laboratories and talk about the current situation.
Wales: The Sakura Empire has lost some of its strength, it will take a long time for them to recover, unfortunately, we are not ready to take advantage of the opportunity to deliver the final blow either.
Cleveland: The black mental cube, right? And for Akagi's treacherous actions as well.
Wales: There are mountains of many problems without solutions.
Then they arrive and when they enter they realize that they are the only ones missing for the meeting to begin.
Wales: Is there anything new?
The girls looked darkly at Wales and she already has an idea of what's going on.
Amazon: Nothing at all, it has me perplexed.
Langley: We can't unlock all the secrets of normal mental cubes, obviously we won't be able to do much with it.
Ark: (reading a spicy manga) It's a literal Pandora's box.
Looking at the mental cube, Cleveland realizes that the cube is brighter than it was the last time he saw it.
Cleveland: Is the glow getting stronger?
Wales: This article is related to sirens, we must assume that this is a very bad sign.
Hornet: The sirens are just playing with us, we shouldn't let them get away with it.
Akashi: (Desperately) AHHHHHHHH! Why is Akagi causing so much trouble?!
Wales: Akagi was the main collaborator with the sirens, without her I worry how Kaga will act.
Akashi: (Worried) Will the empire be okay?
The uncertainty in the room is growing.
Meanwhile, with Javelin's friends, they enjoy a sauna, the only one who seemed to suffer a little is Unicorn since she was breathing very heavily.
Laffey: It's hot.
On the other hand, Ayanami is lost in her thoughts about her country and her current situation, Javelin sees that Ayanami has a worried expression so she worries a little about her.
Javelin: Are you okay, Ayanami? Do you want to hang out?
Ayanami: No, I was just thinking, I'm worried about my friends from the Sakura empire, the people of Azur Lane are great, but the members of the Sakura empire are also precious to me, I want to save everyone.
Javelin grabs Ayanami's hands.
Javelin: Yeah, let's do it, Ayanami.
Laffey: If they're important to you, then they're important to me, too.
Ayanami: I still don't know what to do, but...
Unicorn: It's okay, we were able to become friends, so we should do the same with the Sakura empire.
They all nod to each other to encourage Ayanami and she smiles.
Ayanami: Thank you very much.
