Y/N, THE 14TH MEMBER OF THE FLAMECHASERS: An [Honkai Impact 3rd] Mini-Story

EX. SAKURA'S MEMORY [4]

Sakura noticed something she didn't remember having within her data currently as of now.
It was a memorable one.
The dazzling warmth and tingles that was brought from the memory...
It gave Sakura a warm feeling.
Yet it hurt at the same time.

Mei: "I can tell you Flame-Chasers don't necessarily see eye to eye with each other."
Mei:  "And I believe you know better than me what untrustworthy comrades can mean."

Sakura:  "Mei-dono, I don't know what your world is like or what battles you've gone through."
Sakura:  "But trust..."
Sakura:  "It was just a vulnerability in my time."
Sakura:  "It claimed more lives than Honkai."
Sakura:  "Especially for someone like me..."
Sakura:  "Trusing that someone had my back was not an option."

Mei:  "You were afraid of betrayal."

Sakura:  "No, betrayal didn't frighten me."
Sakura:  "It was the norm in those days."
Sakura:  "If I have name something to fear, I guess I would say fear itself."

Mei:  "I... don't get it."

Sakura:  "People are afraid of things unknown, especially when they contradict their common sense."
Sakura:  "When the whole world was on the brink, fear could easily crush a person..."
Sakura:  "Or a group of people."
Sakura:  "Trusting someone who might submit to fear..."
Sakura:  "That's no different from putting a blade against your own neck."
Sakura:  "After all, people who find excitement in the unknown such as Dr. Mobius are few and far between."

Mei:  "Dr. Mobius..."
Mei:  "I didn't think you two had a connection."

Sakura:  "That's the way it should be..."
Sakura:  "I never expected her to join Cocoon voluntarily."
Sakura:  "For a time, I always saw Su trying to talk to her into quitting—I didn't know Su back then, not even his name."
Sakura:  "Of course he failed, and she stayed as a special advisor."
Sakura:  "She also took on certain command responsibilities.

Mei:  "Sounds like the right job for a scholar."

Sakura:  "No, how do I put it..."
Sakura:  "Knowledge-wise, she was one of the smartest minds of our time."
Sakura:  "But at a command post, she wasn't all that impressive."
Sakura:  "More importantly, joining Cocoon at the expense of suspending her research..."
Sakura:  "It was an exceedingly odd decision."
Sakura:  "She must of had other plans..."
Sakura:  "But in the end, I never figured what they were."

Mei:  "..."
Mei:  'Dr. Mobius, one of the Flame-Chasers in the Elysian Realm."
Mei:  'From what I've heard of Mobius from Sakura...'
Mei:  'She may be dangerous...'

Mei:  'I will need to keep an eye out from her.'
