A/N: Listen to music when I give the signal, it will add to the overall effect

     Barely surviving, clinging onto life by threads. Pain, coursing through my very veins. I don't think I can live much longer on just rations. My luck has held out for three years by not doing anything. But now that I'm actually retaliating, I'm getting hurt a lot more. I guess you can't really win a war without injury. Whatever, that doesn't matter! I'm approaching the borders of Lowee. My goal is to find Rom and Ram in here...sane. I hope with every atom in my body that they haven't met the same fate as Uni. I still need to help her too eventually. Lowee was quick in rushing me in for some reason. They say it's because there's very dangerous monsters out there. I'm not sure that's the case though. At least I got to feel the nice snowy atmosphere around me. 

     Similar to Leanbox, it was in complete working order

     Similar to Leanbox, it was in complete working order. Not war-torn like Planeptune and Lastation. I immediately made my way to the Basilicom. If the two were anywhere, it was gonna be there. I was in no rush, walking down the peaceful streets of Lowee. I hoped that one day, the roads of my nation could return to a normal state like these ones. I noticed little kids running around playing in the snow. All of it seemed like fun and games to them, like they had no idea what was happening with the outside world. I was slightly envious, what makes them have the privilege to have all these nice things...no. I need to stop thinking like that, these people have fought for survival like I have. It's just that they're managing to pull it off on a much bigger scale. After what seemed like a two hour long walk, I finally arrived. The massive doors of the Basilicom stood in front of me. I entered the lobby and was met by several women in work outfits, most likely the welcoming committee. They all greeted me in a very formal manner. Not knowing what to do, I just stood there, staring. Eventually, after a while of no one speaking, one of them broke the silence. 

-"Where are you heading my dear?" One of them asked politely.

-"Is Lady Blanc here?" I asked, already knowing the answer was no.

-"Yes! Right this way my dear." she said.

-"Huh?" I asked, taken aback by her answer.

-"I'm sorry?" she asked.

-"She's...she's here?" 

-"Yes, why wouldn't she be? Are you here to see her?"

-"Y-yes! Please!"

-"Right this way then."

     She lead the way as I walked by the three other smiling women. She took me through many large hallways before arriving at Blanc's quarters...I mean, room!

-"Lady Blanc? Are you in there?" she asked, knocking on the door.

-"Yes, what is it?" I heard Blanc say from the other side.

-"There's someone here to see you." she said.

-"Who?" Blanc asked.

-"I'm sorry, what's your name dearie?" she leaned down and whispered to me.
