The little distraction will reach its end......

The door keeping Tyrant inside is usually completely sealed and cannot be opened due to the danger the prisoner still risks. Bismarck, as the leader, orders for the special occasion of having the door opened, so she could personally interrogate Tyrant up close. Like the others, she's somewhat confident to face Tyrant seeing the bindings still active without any changes.

"......"

Tyrant herself is just sitting by the corner, not moving an inch or even look lifting her head to face the past version of the Bismarck she knows.

"Tirpitz...." Bismarck solemnly calls her
"What? Came here to tell me I'll never break out and I'll be forever here?" Tyrant weakly lifts her head
"......"

Bismarck stands by the completely opened door while Tyrant's couldn't look directly at Bismarck because of the light facing her direction.

"Another Bismarck is here. The one from the Kriegsmarine" Bismarck clears her throat
"I don't know who she is....." Tyrant immediately denies
"You're terrible at denying. That's why you don't answer when I tried to confirm anything during our past battles" Bismarck frankly points out
"I met another version of her in my timeline but she died prior to me losing control. My memories of her aren't clear anymore, so I can't say I'm attached or saddened by her death"
"I don't think you brought her here or your accomplice. Speaking of accomplice, she still abandoned you after betraying you" Bismarck tries to provoke her
"I knew that from the beginning. The one I brought couldn't be trusted but I still showed my back hoping she would do me a favor and kill me without notice"
"Suicide isn't really your goal. So what is it you're after?"

Silence surrounds the two since Tyrant frowns and refuses to immediately answer yet again. There's still blazing hostility in her eyes even if her the pair of dull icy blue eyes couldn't express what little emotions she have left. On the other hand, Bismarck stands straight and proud without the intention to insult the enemy she still views her sister.

"Asking me is pointless. I wouldn't tell you because I still hate you"
"Is it really the case? Are you certain you're not lying to yourself again?"
".....?!'

The section question makes Tyrant reaction but the moment she tries to draw her own strength, the bindings squeezes her limbs and emits heat scalding even someone like her. This caused her to softly groan in pain and collapse on her stomach while trying to dig her fingers on the solid steel floor.

"You're the type to blame everyone, Tyrant. At the very least, the Tirpitz I know is aware whether she's right or wrong" Bismarck scoffs in disappointment
"You're.....one to talk. Never once you admitted that it's because you lack the will to stand up for yourself. You betrayed me without so much of a second thought......and killed the one person who never abandoned me" Tyrant pushes up her upper body

Her right hand is clutching the bindings wrap around her neck while she uses her other arm to support her upper body's weight. The bindings return to normal only after she yields to it and stabilizes her own wisdom cube.

"I won't be that kind of Bismarck. Even if it's not you, the others might go to the kind of path you took. I don't wish to slay my own people.....so I reflected on what I truly felt" Bismarck becomes honest to herself
"Give me a break....." Tyrant grits her teeth
"It's true that I thought of putting down Tirpitz myself, but I couldn't do that or would I allow Victorious to take that burden"
"......"
"I can't save you anymore, but I could still save the Tirpitz I know"
"Hmph. No matter what you do, nothing will change. Six months from now, you'll find yourself entangled in a game you didn't know the stakes. A Leviathan cannot be trusted, specially if it's the otherworldly kind"
"Whats that supposed to mean?"
