We found ourselves in Siberia. The simulation of the events started and we should be near Babylon, but I am not sure. From what I remember we should meet Theresa (The one from the simulation) first and then be brought to meet with Siegfried.

"Hey! Hey! Anyone?" Kiana begun to shout.

"No one is around. *sigh* We really had to follow Principal Theresa, huh?" I point out the obvious and was a little exasperated at how we end up in this situation.

"I didn't see you trying to stop us." Kiana stops to look around. "How did we end up here?"

"I did say it was a bad idea. Anyway, we should start moving. It doesn't matter how we got here if we are sitting ducks." at that we start walking towards the tower that I think is Babylon Labs. We keep our eyes open for any sign of people and any threats around.

On our way we fought some zombies but we didn't find any Honkai beast yet. I didn't have my katana with me since Kiana insisted that I won't need it but we still wear our white comet battlesuit. The only weapon I have at hand is the battlesuit default, the USP45. Kiana mocked me because I was still behind her on the Gun Kata but I just rolled my eyes and we continued on our way.

We arrived at a bridge that was infested with zombies. On the bridge were abandoned cars and well zombies. Kiana didn't waste time in rushed in, while I was internally screaming at her way of doing without thinking. After we cleared our way I gave Kiana a punch in the head.

"YOU IDIOT TUNA! How many times do I have to tell you not to rush! What would happen if you got attacked from behind because you didn't know how many there were?!" I scold her. Her way of doing might worked in the game but this is not the game anymore. Every move that is careless is a death sentence.

"Sorry... It's just..." Kiana held her head looking down making me feel a little guilty. "There is so much snow. Dad and I used to live in a snowy village when he was around. But I've never seen so much snow."

"How... how was it to live with dad?" I asked with pure curiosity. Other than the in-game lore, I didn't know so much. I only read one manga and some fanfics that described some of Kiana's past.

"When we lived in the snowy village, we used to build snowmen, we would go sledging, sometime we would hunt the Honkai beast that were near and have snow fights." She recalled with nostalgia in her eyes. "His snowball managed to smash through a massive 7-feet stone block... I wish we were all together..." she looked sad.

"Don't worry. We would do that next time." I look at her and she had a small smile. (Just me and my big mouth.) "Don't worry you'll see him again. She let become the greatest valkyries and show him what he lost." She cheered up at the thought of her old man mouth dropped at that sight.

"We'll show him!" Kiana shouted with her usual happy self. I just smiled and shook my had happy she got over it for now. We continued but it was still a long way. Sometimes zombies would appear and other times it would be a smooth sale.

We walked for so long that I can swear that the sky begins to look pink. It is so much with around that I start to get a headache from looking at it.

*sigh* "How long do we still have? We walked all day!" Kiana whined and I have to agree with her.

"Let's continue. If we aren't lost we should find something or someone." I tried to seem optimistic but I was bored as well. (We aren't lost, right? No, no, we walked straight using Babylon as a pointer so, it's impossible.)

"Even we are trapped here, we still have each other." Kiana gave me a confident smile that was contagious since I began to smile as well.

"Of you are so alright with just having each other than I guess I can take Mei when we go back." at the sound of Mei's name Kiana perked up in an instant.
