As Seele paced back and forth, her steps echoing softly in the workshop, the weight of her earlier outburst settled heavily on her shoulders. Each step was a manifestation of the remorse she felt, her mind replaying the sharpness of her words and the slap she had delivered to Clara. Despite her stern exterior, her concern for the girl’s safety had overwhelmed her, leading to a reaction she now regretted.

Bronya knelt beside Clara, who was still visibly shaken, her cheek red where Seele's hand had struck. Gently, Bronya placed a comforting hand on Clara's shoulder, her voice soft and reassuring

Bronya: Clara, don't worry. Seele just wants to keep you safe. We all do. She's not angry with you, she's just scared of what could have happened.

Clara looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, but she nodded slowly, understanding the gravity of the situation. She rubbed at her cheek, still feeling the sting, but also the concern that had driven Seele to act so fiercely.

Clara: I... I just wanted to fix the energy core.if I don't fix it soon everyone in the settlement will be affected

Bronya: I understand, Clara. You were trying to do something important for everyone. It's commendable that you care so much about the settlement.

Seele, hearing Clara's words, felt a pang of guilt mix with her concern. She stepped closer, her voice softer than before but still firm.

Seele: I'm sorry that I hit you clara, Clara. Your bravery is admirable, but you really shouldn't take unnecessary risks like this, especially when it involves dangerous places like Rivet Town. Even if you want to help, you need to be more careful. You should always seek assistance from those who can lend a hand in situations like these.

Clara looked up at Seele, her eyes still wet with tears but full of understanding. She nodded, taking Seele's words to heart. The sincerity and concern in Seele's voice resonated with her, making her realize the gravity of the situation.

Clara: I will, Seele. I promise I'll be more careful next time. I just didn't want to trouble anyone...

Seele softened, seeing Clara's earnestness. She knelt down to Clara's level, gently placing a hand on her shoulder.

Seele: It's never a trouble to keep you safe, Clara. We're all here for you. We all care about you. Next time, just call for help, okay? You're not alone.

Clara: I understand, big sister Seele. I'll be more careful from now on. Once I finish fixing the core, I'll make sure to tell Mr. Svarog about how you helped me. Thank you for saving me.

Seele’s stern expression softened at Clara's words, her concern easing into a gentle smile.

Seele: You're welcome, Clara. Just stay safe, alright?

Stelle, who had been reflecting on their mission, suddenly spoke up.

Stelle: Speaking of Mr. Svarog, we're actually on the lookout for him.

Seele's gaze sharpened, her focus returning to the task at hand.

Seele: Right. We were planning on paying him a visit. We need to discuss the matter of the certification and getting permission from you.

Clara: ...Huh? What do you need to see him for? I can pass him a message...

Clara hesitated, glancing nervously at the group.

Clara: But... Mr. Svarog doesn't like talking to others, especially Wildfire... He’s known for being quite reclusive

Seele: Don't I know it. But he's evaded communication with us for too long , this time we have to see him.
