Enterprise and Alicorn stand beside Yorktown's bed, as she looks out to the ocean. A soft breeze blows into the room.
"Look, the ocean is so pretty today." Yorktown states.
"I've never felt that the ocean is beautiful." Enterprise says.
"I've never cared for the ocean." Alicorn states. "I much prefer the sky myself."
"From the moment we were born, the ocean was a place for war. There's nothing beautiful about that. Besides, Sister, the ocean is where you..."
"That's not true." Yorktown starts. "You're only forgetting. We are ships, taking on the form of humans. The beauty of the seas is engraved deep inside our souls." She grabs her Daughter's and Sister's hand as she smiles at them. "One day, you'll remember what wishes the people placed in your name. Blessings to the azure lanes. Enterprise, my dear little sister. Alicorn, my dear daughter."
Alicorn just looks to the side as a warm feeling rises in her chest. She spots a photo on a desk.
It's a photo of a young Alicorn, smiling, along with Erik and Yorktown. Enterprise is emotionless in the photo.
A small frown forms on Alicorn's face as the warm feeling goes away.

Alicorn is peacefully sleeping as light shines from behind her curtains.
The door to her rooms opens and a couple pairs of footsteps walk into the room.
"I don't know about this Sheffield." Edinburgh says.
"We were ordered to do so, so we must." Sheffield says. "Nothing will happen to us, she's on our side now. Just remember, she still is a young ship, younger than most in Azur Lane."
