Shirayuki and Amagi arrive at the apartment and enter, once in the living room they sit on the couch.

Shirayuki: Anything to drink?

Amagi: No thanks, I'm fine like this.

Shirayuki: I see, so what do you want to talk about?

Amagi: About the treaty.

Shirayuki: What is your doubt about the treaty?

Amagi: None, it's just that, there is some information that I want to share with you, this information, Nagato also knows about this.

Shirayuki: And what would it be?

Amagi: My health is very bad, according to my exams, I don't have much time left, I have a lung infection and I can't counteract it, I played strong not to worry my little sister, but lately I can't hide it, additionally it also limits me in my operational capabilities in combat.

Shirayuki: I see, so you want to use your pieces on another ship when you die, right?

Amagi: That's right, by the way. In your world did my counterpart exist?

Shirayuki: Ah yes, if she saw you, she would surely be very envious of you.

Amagi: And why would it be?

Shirayuki: That's because she never set sail, she didn't even leave her shipyard when the Washington naval treaty came into effect, the battleship Kaga was going to be scrapped and the cruiser Amagi remodeled, but there was a natural disaster and your counterpart ended up with a lot of damage.  in his helmet, most irreparable.

Amagi: Then my counterpart's parts were used in Kaga, right?

Shirayuki: That's right, I'm actually sorry, but that actually happened in my world.

Amagi: So my lung infection in your world is helmet damage, so no matter the alternate world, my fate is the same.

Shirayuki: Maybe I know a method to help you.

Amagi: Really?

Shirayuki: In my world in the war, there was an aircraft carrier that overworked, consequently, it damaged her mental cube a lot to a state which was irreparable, however, in a way she survived.

Amagi: So you know of a method which will stabilize my mental cube?

Shirayuki: That's correct, but I need time to implement it, maybe 5 months to 1 year?

Amagi: then I'll wait.

Shirayuki: Another problem is that you can spend 1 to 2 years unconscious.

Amagi: It's a cheap price to pay for my well-being.

Shirayuki: Then I'll take that as a yes, well whatever happens I'll let you know.

Amagi: Actually, I really appreciate it.

Shirayuki: No problem, ah one before I forget, Kaga told me to barrier the floor with you, in the next naval games.

Amagi: (Smiles) Oh, did he say that? Well, I'll have to prepare something special, since they will possibly be the last.

Shirayuki: As Kaga's trainer make it as difficult as possible for her.

Then the two of them laughed, then talked about various topics until the evening.

TIME SKIP 7 MONTHS

The year passed very quickly, Amagi decides not to hide her precarious health anymore and formally declares through a public announcement, Shirayuki on the other hand, spent every day without rest in building a secret dock to anchor her ship, this dock is underground and Da to the sea, on the surface it is a very inhospitable place, because Shirayuki is a nuclear aircraft carrier and can be on a mission for 20 years without refueling, 7 months without sleep is nothing compared to the times she went from Missions for 5 to 10 years without anchoring in port, after 7 months of overexertion she manages to finish this secret makeshift base, to prove she invokes her ship and the ship materializes in front of her.
