"This is...the truth about Valkyrie..." As a bead of sweat trickled down her cheek, Rebecca mumbled. The rest of the group had just completed watching the contents of the B-cube that Homura had been given.

Paul had just finished telling the story of Valkyrie, who had fought a horde of stone monsters to defend the work area and died in the process.
"Valkyrie-Sama. In order to protect us at that time...That's how she died." As tears streamed down Paul's cheek, he explained.
As she glanced down at Valkyrie's body, Homura trembled. "Teacher...I've been....looking for you....all this time." As she fell to her knees, tears streamed down her face. "All this time. I've missed you so much but....This is how it end?!"
"Teacher! It is I! Homura! Answer me, I beg you!" "Please! You must awaken!"
Homura flinched before turning to the others a few feet away. "Of course! Weisz can fix her! Or, or Sister could!" Homura expressed her desperation.
"When an android's core stops...it means the same thing...as death for a human." Pino said as tears streamed down her face.
The unexpected news made Homura cry even harder. "N-No. I'll never see my mentor again!"
It was painful to see Homura slumped over beside her mentor's body. Y/n's eyes welled up with tears as she watched her bawl her eyes out, understanding how it felt to lose a mentor.

"Where's Homura?" Asked Happy.
Tiko fiddled with the fur on his chest and replied. "She hasn't left Valkyrie's side." Pino nodded in agreement.
Happy lowered his gaze to his toes. "We'll never be able to reunite the Four Shining Stars now."
"I suppose that is the case."
The gunmen approached Rebecca, who was crouched over on a crate, and Y/n, who was sitting against the wall next to it.
"Who'd have guessed that girl was Homura?" Says the wing tattooed guy. "Since then, we've held Lady Valkyrie in the highest regard. Valkyrie's army is what we name ourselves."
"Why did you leave her body exposed to the elements if you appreciate her so much?" Rebecca inquired in a despairing tone.
"That's not the case! She's our beacon! We've been able to keep on for so long due of Lady Valkyrie!" The masked bear (?) guy responded.
"And besides till the day that Homura came to find her, we felt that we shouldn't touch her." The beanie-wearing gentleman added.
"Understandable." Y/n muttered as she fiddled with the hem of her skirt.
