In the end it is all a game ( silver wolf X reader)

chapter 18 : not good with goodbyes

As the group gathered around Svarog, the giant robot's last operable lights flickered dimly. The tense atmosphere, heavy from their recent struggle, seems to pause in expectation.

Svarog's mechanical voice resonated through the chamber, its tone unwavering despite the damage it had sustained

Svarog: I have finished collating the Stellaron data and records. Do you wish to proceed, outsiders?

He enquired, his tone devoid of passion but with a sense of finality.

Svarog's systems activated with a soft hum.

Svarog: Requesting database materials cache. Serial number: 13175. Encryption level: highest. Request approved. Transmission commencing

A shimmering hologram projected from Svarog's core, casting a ghostly blue light over the room. The hologram flickered to life, revealing a prerecorded video that began to play.

(Video starts playing)

(Video concluded,)

As the video ended, the group stood in reflective silence. The gravity of what they had just witnessed was palpable.

March 7th: ...So the truth is clear now, right?

Bronya remained silent, absorbed in the gravity of the revelations. She sifted through her thoughts, trying to reconcile the information with the present circumstances.

While Stelle, ever the curious and befuddled one, scratched her head and looked at the projection, seeming perplexed.

Stelle: I didn't quite understand. Can someone go over it again?

Dan heng: Putting minor details aside, this is the conclusion... Eminent individuals, including the Guardian herself, were aware early on that the Stellaron was the source of the disaster on this world. However, to maintain peace and prevent widespread panic, they decided to conceal the truth. The secret research aimed at finding a method to destroy a Stellaron ultimately ended in failure, Now only one question remains... Why would Cocolia exhibit such a sudden change in her attitude towards us?

March 7th noticed that Bronya looked unsettled by the revelations. Concerned, she turned to her.

March 7th: Bronya? Are you okay?

Bronya: ...I'm fine. I just... feel a little faint.

Stelle: There must be a lot to take in for you, especially after what happened earlier.

Bronya: Why...? Why, Mother...? M-Maybe she wasn't aware, maybe she...

Seele stepped in, her voice firm but gentle, trying to bring Bronya out of her state of denial.

Seele: ...I'm sorry. It's no use lying to yourself, Bronya. It's time for you to make a decision.

Bronya fell silent, her eyes filled with a mix of confusion and pain as she processed the truth. The weight of Seele's words hung in the air, pushing her to confront the reality she had tried to avoid.

Seeing the tension, Natasha approached Stelle quietly and gestured for her to step aside.

Natasha: Stelle, can I have a word with you? I know that we'll need time to process this new information, but we have to decide on our next plan as soon as possible.

Stelle nodded and followed Natasha to a quieter corner, away from the others. As they moved, Dan Heng and March 7th watched over Bronya and Seele, giving them some space to continue their conversation. Clara, sensing the need to give everyone a moment, approached Svarog, checking on him with a gentle touch.
