Honkai Impact: The Fulfiller

Chapter 17 (Old)

*A few hours earlier...*

"Kiana, are you awake?" Sieg slowly opened the door so as not to disturb anyone... Fully opening the door and seeing Kiana was asleep, he sighed in relief.

"Sorry, daddy wasn't around for way too long... Worse, dad and mom have to leave you home alone for a while..."

"Hngh..."

"It's okay... dad's here-!" As if his eyes were playing tricks on him... His hand... It was a-

"Dad...?" The girl woke up from her sleep to look around and saw nothing...

*Tap* Tap*

She heard tapping noises on the window. Looking over she saw a certain Suzuki waving by the window...

"Unc-'" The boy cut her off as he places his finger on his lip. Understanding what it meant, she did the same thing as him by placing a finger on her lip.

Don't want anyone to know he's here after all.

Placing his hand seemingly on random spots on the window until the glass pane was pushed inside. Indicating this was not the first time he had broken into her room.

Once he got into the room, he placed the glass pane back in its original spot and slowly climbed the ceiling in a cat-like manner until reached the door.

Slowly dropping down from the ceiling without making a noise and placed his ear on the door... He raises a thumb up indicating the coast is clear.

Without a single word, the girl got out of her bed and ran over to the Suzuki for a hug.

"Uncle!"

"Hey kiddo, long time no see. Hope you're doing well?" I said while giving her a pat on the head.

"Um!" She nodded while giving me one of the biggest smiles.

[Boss, Honkai Radiation level currently at-]

I do not need your input right now ERA.

[...Understood.]

Letting go of the hug as I slowly kneel down to the girl and placed both my hands on her shoulders.

"Kiana, what I'm about to you is something that you should never EVER forget, okay?"

I wasn't sure if a kid could understand what I was saying, but I do have hope that she could understand that this is a very serious matter...

All of my worries seems to go away as she nodded while giving me a stern face.

"Kiana, I need you to trust me. In the future, there will be someone who will use you as a mindless tool and work for them without you noticing it. That's why I want you to have this."

Taking an item out of my pocket and revealed... A small white crystal necklace.

"Pretty isn't it?" I said while slowly putting the necklace on her... "Even if... you forgot a part of yourself, always cherish this necklace as one day you will remember yourself... Okay...?"

Confused at my words, she ignore them and nodded at me... I gave her one final pat on the head and take my leave from the window...

"Well... See you around kiddo."

How is it that I know all of this will happen...? Well... Let's just say that destroying the time loop can cause a few... side effects...
