"What's your organisation?"

"World Serpent."

"What's your purpose?"

"Defeat the Honkai, and bring back our leader."

"And who might your leader be?"

"That, we will not confide."

"Alright. What's your name?"

"I cannot confide to you for that."

". . . Alright then. Keep your secrets."

Seere continued on the questioning, with the woman answering in a straightforward manner, while avoiding several other more personal questions that might give away more than they should.

Meanwhile

"Mr. Koslov," a woman with a red clawed glove appeared from the doorway of the man before her.

"Tell them to give me 5 seconds, Raven. I'm still assembling the blueprint," the man told her, his eyes darting to differences facets of the blue paper filled with different gizmos, lines and blocks all over it.

"Five. . . Four. . . Three. . Two. . . One. . . Zero."

"Let's go." Raven didn't seem surprised that the man seem to have finished off the blueprint schematics before going to his side as they walk to their destination.

"Did they get hold of the two visitors?" The man questioned the woman.

"If I say they didn't?" Raven questioned.

"Then I wouldn't be surprised. Their powers are beyond our understanding as of late, so capturing them may deem to be quite the difficulty."

The blunt answer was as expected from the man.

"They have them."

"Excellent. Allow me to personally interview them both simultaneously."

"That, you must discuss with the others first," Raven deadpanned.

"Ah yes. How could I forget the others." It seemed almost scarily odd how confident Mr. Koslov seem to be all of a sudden. Was his time with Otto a facade that he pulled off, or were they his genuine emotions?

After a few minutes of walking in the silence, they arrived at the assigned meeting room, where everyone had grouped up. They all stared at Mr. Koslov, while Raven left his side to lean beside the doorway.

"Mr. Koslov. The information you have sent to us had been valuable, and your theories of the multiverse had been convincing. We truly appreciate your genius within the World Serpent, and so, what would you like for your contributions? We may just be able to acquire anything you wish for," the bunny faced person stated. Hearing this, Mr. Koslov closed his eyes. He could see his son as a child once again, playing happily in the snow with a grin on his face. His squeaky voice forever haunted him for all that's worth.

But he couldn't acquire that. He never was able to. All he could do was watch as the boy underwent trials and tribulations time and time again, but was still able to smile and to protect those close to him, and in turn, be protected by those that loved him. To the man, his son found his own happiness, and to be frank, he relented all this.

It was Otto. That one man who held all the power within Schicksal, to prevent him from ever meeting his son face to face. This was something he slowly came to accept, but with him being brought into the World Serpent as a spy of some sort, he slowly started to realise the possibility of seeing his son once again. Eventually, he prioritised the mission placed upon him by the World Serpent, and did his job well.
