"... So your first report that woke me up so early today is... Kallen Kaslana's death?" - Otto asked while looking at the computer screen in front of him, placed on top of his desk while he's sitting on the chair, holding a cup of coffee on his hand.

"Exactly! She has been murdered by someone!" - It was Captain Mizuki who is reporting to him.

".... Huh... Theresa called me and texted me 2 hours ago, I didn't check those yet. This must be the thing..." - Otto saying, then sipping his coffee, he is not taking this seriously.

"You..."

"This is not my deal. It never was. Hyperion can maintain themselves, no matter of any problem, It is indeed sad to hear one of your Valkyries has fallen, but if you need, i'll soon arrange another Valkyrie-"

"THAT'S NOT IT!" - Captain Mizuki yell then point his finger to the screen, directly into Otto's face. "Why didn't you feel anything? Wasn't Kallen your lover? Why didn't you feel anything for her? Is this just another day for you?" - Mizuki saying as tears coming out from his eyes, he's angry right now, but he's also depressed.

"Listen." - Otto put his coffee down. "It's not like I didn't care for her, but she chose to be a part of your ship, she chose to be your girl, and I respected it. Now you asked me that question... How should I say this... I can't say I am not surprised or shocked by the news... But I can't do anything much. You should be handling this yourself, now pardon me, I have some works to do today." - Otto saying as he disconnect.

"Wait you-" - The call ended, Mizuki was so angry that he punched the screen and broke it, his knuckles bleed as well.

"..." - Otto let out a long sigh then lean his back to the chair, and put a hand on his face.

He don't want to see something in his own office. The entire room except the desk got destroyed. The chairs, the table got burned. The flower pots broke and shattered around, Otto burned the carpet and the paintings, all the books in his office.

On the desk, there's Otto phone also, it's showing Theresa's messages on the screen.

Maybe Mizuki didn't noticed, but Otto also feel the same after Kallen's death. He is so desperate that he continue to punch the desk, until his knuckles bleed, and the desk is broken.

"We will have to take a deeper look into this, tell the squad that we will go to Hyperion." - Durandal peeking inside the office, standing behind her is Rita, both are unnoticed by Otto.

"You're asking for a whole Immortal Blades team to go?" - Amber, Otto's secretary coming and asked.

"Yeah, this cannot be taken lightly, we haven't know if the one who killed miss Kallen will go for anyone else or not, if they will, then Hyperion crew is in danger for sure." - Durandal saying. "This cannot be taken lightly, we must know who is the murderer and their purpose."

"I agree, but just in case if the HQ needed us, we should only bring half of our team." - Rita suggested to her team leader.

"Yeah, tell them we'll go in 3 hours."

Back in Hyperion, of course people are shocked, afraid and sad at the time, many of them locked themselves in their rooms, Mizuki ordered the Hyperion to land down at an airport of Schicksal. And of course, there will be definitely some people have already started to investigate the murder. Fu Hua is the first one, Himeko, Theresa came in and help her after, they have been gathering everything at the scene of crime.

"Miss Kallen, as I know, she is one of our best hand-to-hand combat Valkyrie, to think that someone could actually kill her with something like a knife.. is hard to believe." - Fu Hua saying while looking at the showering room's floor covered in blood still hasn't completely be washed away. "The scene actually shows miss Kallen struggled, possibly put up a fight but still got taken down."

"Yeah, it's hard to believe the fact someone killed her." - Theresa saying.

"Hey, do you guys think the same as I do?" - Himeko asked.

"... Well, what do you mean?"

"I mean... according to Ai-chan the signal and the camera got cut for 5 minutes last night around 10pm. That mean the murderer only have less than 5 minutes to kill.. That didn't count the time they needed to escape the area." 

"I'm still not getting the point here, less than 5 minutes?" - Theresa asked Himeko in confusion of her statements, Himeko looked over to the short girl.

"Think about it, Kallen is a strong Valkyrie, someone else stronger killed her, before that they have to find her and killed her, then have to run away all in 5 minutes, not to mention all those cameras of Ai-chan are placed all over the Hyperion, but only a few at some certain areas got disturbed."

"I'm still not getting it..." - Theresa is too Teri-dumb to understand.

"Wait, you can't possibly mean..." - Fu Hua steps out from the bathroom, interfered in their conversation. 

"Yeah, it can be one of us who killed her." - Himeko said, left Theresa surprised as she heard it.

"What did you say? It's not possible!"  

"It is possible, knowing where Kallen will be, disturbed the cameras at those locations lead to her, it could be only done by someone who knows Hyperion well." - Himeko saying. "But we don't have any evidence to assume that the muderer is among us."

"That's right.."

"Then, I will head over to Ai-chan and ask her if she sees anything strange or not." - Fu Hua takes off her gloves. "The Captain probably had reported to the HQ, there will be someone come here soon I guess, so it's best to keep everything.. the way they are." 

Meanwhile, Seele is in her room with Bronya and the Vodka Girls, they are scared, because of the murder, while Bronya is acting strong and cautious, to protect the girls if there is anything happen. Rosalia is not chaotic today, she is hiding inside the blanket and Liliya is reading books, and then there is Seele, sitting beside Bronya, hiding inside her blanket as well. Bronya thought she is afraid, she pat Seele. But Seele inside, has mixed feelings.

She can't even believe what she did last night, she never thought she will do it for real, but it has already been done, it can't be reversed, now she can't sleep peacefully without Kallen's death haunting her mind.

Last night, it was a peaceful night as always, especially after the party. In the showering room there is someone taking a bath, her long, white hair stretched all the way to her butt. There was only watering noises around.

The cameras suddenly got disturbed, by some tentacles coming out from nowhere, at the locations where the cameras got disable, the girl slowly walks forward, with a kitchen knife in her hand, she walks slowly, she is afraid, but what pushes her forward is the urge from earlier. 

Two minutes later, she reaches the shower room, she hesitated a little bit, in her head, there is a weak voice telling her she can still turn back, but when she put her hand on the doorknob and opened it, everything has begin. Kallen, who is taking a shower, has no idea the door was opened. Seele, who is standing there with a knife, slowly steps inside. 

Kallen is still rinsing her head with the warm water, naturally, not knowing someone is about to stab her from behind. The closer Seele got to her, she more she afraid and shaking her hands, she can't even think of stabbing Kallen from the back. When Kallen suddenly turned the water off, Seele startled and dropped the knife, right when the knife touched the floor and made a sound, Kallen noticed and turned back immediately, she sees Seele is there, with a knife on the floor. "Seele, what are you doing here?" She asks, as she is confused but also being cautious, and thinking at the same time. Meanwhile Seele is afraid for real, she can't do this, she thought in her head, as she begin to cry. "What am I doing... Why... Everything was going to..." She falls on her knees, begin to cry, use her hands to cover her face.

In front of Kallen's eyes, even though there are confusion in her mind, but right now, what she felt for Seele is not afraid, or angry because it is a clear attempt of murdering, but our white haired girl that a blonde dude simp for, felt sympathy for Seele. She comes down on her knees as well, hugged Seele, patting her head, then lowering her hand down to the little girl's back, like a mother confronting a child. 

"There there... I don't know what is going on, especially what you feel now but... is everything alright? Seele?" - Kallen gently asked the young girl who is crying, almost done something that will make her regret for life.

"I- I- I- I'm so sorry!!!" - Seele said it while crying.

"There there...." - Kallen saying. "Seele, if there is anything you could-" 

Tentacles suddenly appeared out of nowhere, they grabbed Kallen's legs and arms, pinned her onto the wall and one of them stroke strike into Kallen's mouth, to prevent her shout for help. From behind Seele, Veliona materialize herself, gained a temporary physical form, using her power, she also summoned some tentacles. 

"Seele, why are you crying on the ground like that?" - Veliona saying, while looking down to the girl that is crying, she once cared for. 

"I- I can't do this! We can't! I don't want to do this!" - Seele looks up to Veliona, while still crying.

"Cry about it... You DID want to get his heart and affection for you right? What changed your mind? You were one step away from achieving it tomorrow!" 

"I don't want to be a murderer!"

"Then you will not only failed to get his feelings for you, but you will be taken away from him forever! This bitch saw it all! If you don't kill her today, tomorrow everyone will know about this! What will you do then?" - Seele shouted, using her tentacles to pick the knife from the floor up, putting in onto her hand. "Take it."

Seele look at the knife on Veliona's hand showing to her, she clearly have no intention of grabbing it.

"Take, it."

Veliona felt something strange, she looked to Kallen who is pinged on the wall, Kallen just bite the tentacle shoved itself into her mouth and spit it out.

"Veliona... You... stop it! Why are you doing this to Seele? Leave her alone!" - Kallen shouted, Veliona ignored her words and look to Seele.

"Take. It."

"Veliona! There will be-" - Kallen was about to finish her line but Veliona personally stabbed her torso.

"Guess I will have to do everything myself." - Veliona said, Kallen herself screamed in pain but Veliona covered her mouth using another tentacle. "Fine then."

Veliona stabbed Kallen for a few more times, while Seele witnessed it all, but she was too afraid to step up and stop her, only a few more times later, when Kallen can't take it anymore, Seele stepped up. 

"Stop it, the other me! Stop doing this!" - Seele shouted.

"Huhh??" - Veliona glares back to her, her eyes are threatening Seele as well. "Now you're talking in that tone with me? After all those determination? After everything you went through? Didn't you got very disappointed earlier, almost cried all because of this bitch? Today was supposed to be your day! But this bitch took it away from you!"

Kallen, feeling alot of pain right now and is about to die, still conscious enough to hear everything, but she right now really have no strength to resist, Veliona felt so, she remove the tentacle from her mouth.

"Let's see if this bitch want to say something." - Veliona looks over to Kallen.

Kallen's really weak now, she doesn't have any strength to move. All she can do is smile.

"I see... I understand... Everything... But.. You guys think... You guys... Will... Win? Don't make me laugh..." - Kallen tried really hard with her last breaths, to say out those words that made Veliona feel mad.

Veliona hands Seele the knife, and force her to standing in front of Kallen. "Now, finish her, at least she won't feel more pain if I do, stab into her chest, through her heart, Seele."

Seele is still hesitate to do it. While Kallen is laughing weakly. Veliona is really mad at them, especially Kallen.

"You will never win his heart! I can see the future!" - Kallen use her last breath to shout those words out, then she laughs, as if she is the winning one.

"You damn bitch!!!" - Veliona snapped, she grabs Seele's arms and pushes the knife forward her, stabbing her again.

It is unknown if Seele unconsciously redirected the knife to stab Kallen's chest, or Veliona lost it at the point and stabbed her chest randomly. But the stab was for her chest, after that Veliona dragged Seele out, she takes the knife and stab Kallen multiple time herself, while Seele already looked away.

It took 30 seconds for Veliona to stop, and calming down, right in front of her it is just a corpse now, she takes her tentacles back, the corpse of Kallen Kaslana falls down to the floor, the bloods are coming out and being washed away by the water.

"Everything is done... Seele." - Veliona takes the knife with her and pulls Seele up. "We have to go before someone sees us. We can't let someone see us here."

Seele has no respond, but Veliona pushes her anyways, after making sure she erased every trace that could expose them there. On the way back to her room, Veliona ran across a long hallway with Seele.

She felt something behind, after making a turn, she stops, peeking back, seeing a shadow at the other end of the hallway.

Someone is there, they saw Veliona and Seele, Veliona felt threatened, she is ready to act.

"Wait a minute." - Veliona looks carefully. "I can't even see... Can they see us?" - Veliona carefully reconsider. "..... Right now, if I try and attack them, it will definitely alert someone... Can't do it then, damn it."

Veliona instead of fighting the mysterious person, went back to Seele's room with Seele. Luckily, no one was awake, so nobody in the room knows that Seele killed Kallen.

Back to present, Seele is lost in her mind, so many questions about herself, so many regressions, so many guilt in her heart. All of that got casted away when Veliona shows up in her mind.

"Are you afraid?" - Veliona asked the other of herself, who is afraid.

"... Y- yes..." - Seele responded with a weak voice, like she is both mentally afraid and not wanting to talk to Veliona at the moment. Thought so, Veliona came close to her, sat down next to the girl.

"Did you think it was worth it? Seele?" - Veliona asked.

(Okay at this point me sometimes type Seele as Selee to the point sometimes me don't know it's Seele or Selee.)

"I... Don't know, honestly. It was easy at the talking... back then, and now... I really wished nothing happened." - Seele saying.

"... Well, you do wanted him after all, right?" - Veliona asking Seele. "Captain Mizuki, the man you loved so much."

"Yes but... Never thought It will go this way. I mean... I am not ready." 

"Love is strange, Seele. It can drive people mad, I know because I once loved you, and still until today." - Veliona saying. "It is strange, for me it was simple, I thought so, and now I look at those people. It seems I have only saw the tip of the iceberg. With love, people can even do everything they have to, to steal the opponent's heart." 

"......"

"But now that Kallen is gone, you gotta accept it that we killed her, even if you liked it or not. And a new hope has descended." - Veliona saying. "Now, no one is standing in your way, Seele."

"You're right... But, I had to kill someone for it... I felt disgusted inside." - Seele standing up and looks away.

"... Everything has a price, Seele. Especially doing somewhat that is good for you, you will have to pay something, or stain your hands with blood. But, after all, in the end, you're still happy, of the results that everything had led to it. Now the chance is yours, Seele. Stand up and take it."

"....." - Seele is still sitting in the room with the other girls. Someone knocked the door, it was Mei came to tell them it's lunch time. 

The girls went to the cafeteria together, it is not noisy and energetic as always, today, only silent, and people around are just like soulless bodies walking around, eating in silent, just only look at each other, and chewing noises. 

"Ah, the Captain is not here yet?" - Mei asked Kiana, who has been giving out some meals. 

"Right, I haven't seen him yet, he sure now is... Sad." - Kiana saying. "But he still had to eat, someone will have to bring a meal to his office, I guess." 

"C- Can I go?" - Seele raise her hand awkwardly. 

"Hmm... You sure, Seele?" - Kiana looking at her and ask.

"Hm, We can let Seele go, who knows if someone like Seele can comfort the Captain a bit?" - Mei said.

"Bronya.. Agree." - Bronya nods.

"Then, we're counting on you Seele." 

Seele went to the office after, she knocks the door a few times, no respond from the inside as expected, she is now worry. She opens the door, and slowly take a step inside while quickly looks around. The windows are closed, the whole room is kinda dark. She is a bit nervous and started looking for Mizuki.

"C- Captain? I brought lunch..." - She noticed the armchair in the corner, near the bookshelf, there is a lamp on the small table right beside, but it is turned off so she can't see anything there.

 She came closer, then she saw Mizuki himself is laying his back against the chair, sitting on it, eyes closed, Seele thought he suicided, she rushed over to the one she loved and shakes him, dropped the tray of lunch that she brought to the Captain.

"Captain! Captain!" - Seele keeps shaking him worryingly. "Captain!"

Fortunately, Mizuki opens his eyes, looked to the young girl who nearly had a heart attack. He looked at Seele with sad eyes, the sadness expressed well on his face as well, he said nothing to Seele, all but sadness. Seele opened her mouth and asked a question.

"C- Captain. Is everything alright?" - She asked.

"Yeah... Just, you know."- Mizuki hugs Seele, tightly. "I lost her..."

Seele was happy inside because Mizuki hugged her, but she is mostly worried for Mizuki, also felt guilty, but she is some what still sad, knowing that Mizuki is still remembering about Kallen, but that's why she's here, slowly taking Mizuki's affection.

"Seele... I... Am I such a fool.. and useless... I wasn't there to protect her... I didn't even know..." - Mizuki whispers.

Seele slowly gives her arms out, hugging Mizuki as well, patting his back. "No no... Captain it's not your fault... It was never your fault... It was the murderer's. Everything is alright, I am here for you, Captain."

Kallen's death, caused by Seele herself has marked an important development in her way to be with Captain Mizuki, the one she loved. But she had to hide the truth from everyone else. If not, a lot of people will try and take revenge.
