Time never waits. It delivers all equally to the same end. You, who wish to safeguard the future, however limited it may be... You will be given one year; go forth without falter, with your heart as your guide...
I don't think just getting along and...
A few hours after Rita had left, it was getting dark, so Makoto and Durandal decide to stop for today and just head to the park as they stumbled upon some stray cats to pet but unfortunately for the strongest Valkyrie, the cat didn't want her so it ended up scratching her before it ran away.
Durandal: Well that's a shame, Makoto, your turn, you try petting a cat.
Makoto went ahead and looks for one before he sees a black and white cat with odd looking feature on its ears, tail and forehead specifically as it had pink eyes too, quite like the honkai's signature color.

Makoto: Hi.
The cat stops doing whatever it did before it hissed at Makoto, getting ready to attack him somehow before the boy retracts his hand and looks at the cat
Cat: Mrow!! (What is wrong with this human?! Why am I so afraid of him?! No... it's what's inside him that I'm afraid of!)
The cat shook in fear as it saw Thanatos behind Makoto as it did a "shh" signal as it disappears, making the cat run away from Makoto as it immediately went somewhere else, causing him to sigh
Cat: (Just my luck, I ran into THE 13th Shadow! He may be weak but I ain't strong enough to take that thing down even though it is only one-third of his total power! That is just how strong the 13 Shadows are compared to the Honkai and weaker beings!)
Makoto: Cats hate us
Durandal: I'm sure they don't
Makoto: Then why did the previous one scratch you?
Durandal: It was scared.
Makoto gives her a side eye before he gets up and puts his hands in his pockets before they sat on the bench.
Durandal: There's something I wanted to ask you, Makoto. Why do you fight the Shadows and the Honkai?
Makoto: To become complete and find my sister.
Durandal: Be complete?
Makoto: I'm not whole, there's another half of me, we both don't know how we'll become one person again, and I don't think they wish to be someone entirely.
Durandal: I see but, I get what you mean too, for a long time, I don't know who I really am, I feel like I'm someone else... my memories of who I was are blurry, all I know is that I have the potential to be very strong.
Makoto nods as they continue to rest
Durandal: Bianka.
Makoto: Huh?
Durandal: My name is Bianka Ataegina, Durandal is just my nickname, so feel free to call me by my real name instead of my code name and in return, I'll keep calling you Makoto.
Chariot Rank (Durandal): 8
Just after Makoto was getting to know Durandal more, an explosion happened near the museum
