After breaking away from the thick doors, cooler air blew in, orange light shone in, and the slight moan of the machines echoed. Kan, kan, the footsteps echoed in the space within the ship that one could not imagine to be of that size, and the guide -the First Lieutenant Nakanishi realized this as he stopped in front of a certain door. Looking up, a simple plate labelled ‘Primary Control Room’ was shown there. Finally, we’re now at the last remaining place left behind by Kayaba Akihiko. Rinko held her breath and watched the back of the Self- Defense Officer who was making the last safety check. Is this the start to a new beginning— On the other side of the door that slid aside heavily, a deep darkness surrounded her like a shroud, causing Rinko to be unable to move for the time being. No matter how much she rejected the darkness, no matter how repulsed she felt, she was forced to acquiesce. “...Sensei.” The voice of the assistant from behind her caused her to regain her sensibility. First Lieutenant Nakanishi walked into the dark room, took several steps, and turned around to look at Rinko. Upon closer inspection, the interior of the ‘Primary Control Room’ was not completely dark, and there were orange lights flashing on the floor. Rinko took a large deep breath and moved her right foot forward in a determined manner. The assistant stepped in, and the door behind them closed.
