(The sound of waves crashing against the docks filled the air as Y/N stood on the bridge of the Azur Lane base, overlooking the vast ocean. The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm orange glow over the water. It had been years since he had taken command of the Azur Lane fleet, and in those years, he had found not only purpose but also love in the form of the shipgirls who had come to adore and cherish him.)
Y/N: Who knew mere days would be necessary for my life to change for better... and to think it all happened because of...
(Once, life had been very different for him. He had been married, happily—or so he thought. His ex-wife had been everything to him, and he had loved her with all his heart. But everything had come crashing down the day he was framed for cheating on her by his long-time bully. Despite his desperate attempts to prove his innocence, his ex-wife had refused to listen. In her anger, she had left him, taking with her everything they had built together. The betrayal had been too much to bear, but Y/N had moved on, stronger and wiser for it.)
Y/N: Nah, who needs her? I don't!
(Now, as the Commander of Azur Lane, he had found a new family. The shipgirls—beautiful, powerful embodiments of naval warships—had become his loyal partners. Some were his friends, others his lovers, and they had helped him heal from the wounds of his past. His life had taken a turn for the better, but little did he know, his past was about to resurface in a way he could never have expected.)
(Far away, in a town that felt like another lifetime ago, Y/N's ex-wife sat in her dimly lit living room, nursing a bruise on her cheek. She had long since remarried—of all people, to the man who had been Y/N's tormentor, the same man who had framed him all those years ago. She had believed the lies and married the very person responsible for tearing her world apart. Now, years later, she lived in regret. Her current husband was a cruel man. He drank heavily, neglected her, and lashed out violently whenever he had the chance.)

Rosa: Why are you even like this? What did I do to you?
B/N: Nothing. You never do anything right.
(On this particular night, in a drunken stupor, her husband let slip the truth she had never been willing to face.)
B/N: Y'know... you left Y/N for nothing. (laughs) I set the whole thing up... framed him good. Made it look like he cheated on you, and you fell for it. You always were so gullible.
(The words hit her like a punch to the gut. Her hands shook as the glass she was holding slipped from her fingers and shattered on the floor. The reality of what she had done, of how she had thrown away the man who had loved her so deeply for a lie, came crashing down on her. She had destroyed their marriage and her own happiness for the sake of a cruel trick.)
Rosa: How... could you...
B/N: You were nothing to me. I just wanted to make that loser's life miserable, and so I did!
