At the park,

Missouri and Illinois are sitting together like brothers looking at the peaceful view of the base, both of them are silenced not before Illinois spoke first.

Illinois: The Black Cube...

Missouri: The one that the maids took with?

Illinois: Yes.

Illinois: I have it here.

Missouri: Let me take a look at it

Missouri: Let me take a look at it.

Missouri takes the cube as he examines it. The cube seems to emit purple flasks of light with a Siren-like insignia in the middle of the cube. 

Missouri: So you medidated by touching the Cube to which it shows you a vision of some sort?

Illinois: Yes, for maybe around 5 minutes I was shown a vision or illusion. I suppose that earlier when you arrived you told me about it.

Missouri: Yeah, I was walking with Dido and Sirius, being a father-like figure to watch over them, giving out their new dishes to all the shipgirls here to taste their new cooking skills.

Missouri: That is when, I stopped in my tracks. Dido and Sirius are so worried for me that I woke up instantly. I was lucky to not passed out during that vision.

Illinois: What was your vision like?

Missouri: It seems familiar to our former Admirals dream. The time when they hugged the tearing Arizona during the hellscapes of Pearl Harbor.

Missouri: That's what it looks like. A fiery hell with debris everywhere, the skies are dark and covered with smoke. Steel from other ships afloat or sunk, and the many traces of blood around the ocean.

Missouri: First was red, which was human blood, but the other is yellow, which I presumed that it was blood from the Sirens.

Illinois: Is there anything else?

Missouri: Then, there was the figures. There are like 16 of them if I counted correctly in my vision.

Illinois: 16? That's a lot. Almost as if it was like humans as well.

Missouri: But what did you see in those figures Illinois?

Illinois: They don't have any features, but all I can say is that, they spoke to me.

Missouri: What did they spoke to you?

Illinois: Something about this vision will become the dark fate of Azur Lane if the factions weren't one.

Illinois: And they seemed to know us. But they also said that we might become hope or the key to change the future.

Missouri: I see.
