Sophie: "Almost a hundred years… almost a hundred years we've been thrown through time… we are now in the year 1371… after the black hole… which swallowed the whole world… and as if that wasn't bad enough… it happens to be the year of the Heidelheimer war… the Heidelheimer war was called that because on the same day… four politicians were assassinated… Politician Albert Heidelheimer was the first, shot multiple times in the stomach… Politician of the Slavic Empire, Sokolow, was shot four times in the eyes… The politician from Grazburg, Hüttenheimer, was poisoned along with his entire family… and finally, the politician from Dukewood, James, was killed when a piano fell on his body… Each empire blamed the other… Weimarer and Grazburg started fighting… Roselande against Prussia… Not to mention other kingdoms like the Basque kindgdom and Demari, which only wanted peace, were attacked by Prussia for some reason… Chaos reigned."
Patch… Patch…
Ms Valentine: "It has been ten days since the black hole appeared… but this… I never would have thought. As if that weren't enough, it turns out Frank really works for the Eulen."
Meliodas: "We need to find a way to end this crisis… but how."
Ms Valentine: "No idea… we actually tried to negotiate with the kingdoms, but it didn't work… they all want this war."
Fiona: "Hmmm."
Sophie: "Hmm."
Marcus: "Hahh."
Ms Valentine: "Ughhh…"
Fiona: "In the end, only those who don't want the war suffer… that's how it is in war… those who want the war… nothing happens to them… and those who don't want it… suffer… that's what you said, Master."
Meliodas: "Indeed."
Sophie: "Hahhh… almost 100 years… traveling through time is really wild."
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Ms Valentine: "Anyway… what if we now think about what we should do."
Fiona: "I can't do anything anyway… I'm just a detective… preventing or stopping wars is the task of the Dark Umbrella officers…"
Ms Valentine: "Hmmm…"
Fiona: "Excuse me… I'm going to rest now… It won't help anyway if we stay here."
Ms Valentine: "Sure, rest… and… is Cossette awake?"
Fiona: "No."
Ms Valentine: "I see…"
Fiona left the room…
Fiona: "Haahhh…"
Sophie: "Hey, is something wrong?"
Fiona: "Just tired… I want to rest."
Sophie: "Okay…"
Fiona: "Hahhh…"
Sophie: "What about Marcus?"
Fiona: "No idea… you know him… he always leaves when there are many people around… Lucy didn't really survive the black hole, as you know…"
Meanwhile
Lucy survived but is in a wheelchair. She tried to help Marcus by first pushing him into the safe room… she survived barely but not in good health.
Marcus: "Hmm… and Riko? How is she?"
Riko: "She can eat but she can't move…"
Marcus: "Hmm…"
Riko: "The Dark Umbrella… what do they want us to do, let her die?"
Marcus: "It's still my decision. Lucy tried to save multiple people in front of my eyes… by now I don't believe she just killed bureaucrats…"
She held Marcus' hand… Lucy…
Marcus: "Hmm?"
Riko: "The only time she moves is when she sees you…"
Marcus: "Hmm…"
He stroked her head. Lucy is not only in a wheelchair now, she has also become younger, from 29 to 20 years old. This is indeed possible; apparently the black hole changes everything it touches with regard to time, meaning a person trapped in it can age or become younger…"
Marcus: "Good… bring her to her room…"
Meanwhile, in Weimarer
Krach! Krach!
Soldier: "Fire… kill the Grazburg army!"
Soldier: "Urk!"
Zantanel: "Do you see that…"
Remy: "Yes…"
Zantanel: "Strange… why are we thrown so far back in time… maybe too many stars died at once? No…"
Remy: "Then what?"
Zantanel: "I think the black hole is not only a natural event but also a kind of… like weather."
Remy: "That means?"
Zantanel: "Sometimes the rain is heavy… sometimes peaceful… sometimes moderate… that's my rough idea about the black hole…"
Remy: "I see… what are you going to do now?"
Zantanel: "Change things… the war between Weimarer and Grazburg was won by Weimarer… Prussia defeated Roselande… and the Baskenreich made peace with Prussia, while Demari went to war with Weimarer because they were allied with Grazburg… but Weimarer won that too…"
Remy: "And how do you want to change that?"
Zantanel: "By giving cursed and magic users to support Grazburg and Demari…"
Remy: "Why?"
Zantanel: "So that Weimarer loses… I hate Weimarer, it's where everything began… my birth, the people who called me a monster, my stepfather who wanted me to die in the forest… that's the first kingdom I want to see suffer… so come."
Remy: "Okay."
Meanwhile
Cossette: "Hahhh…"
Bieb… Bieb…
Cossette: "Hahh…"
Chloe: "Oh my…."
Fiona: "How is she?"
Chloe: "She's still in a coma… but… she moved her finger… that's a good sign."
Fiona: "I see… hahhh…"
Chloe: "Where are you going?"
Fiona: "Going to sleep… has Melina also gone to sleep?"
Chloe: "Yes…"
Fiona: "Good…"
Chloe: "Good night…"
Fiona went upstairs. Melina slept peacefully and deeply in bed. Fiona lay down next to her…
Melina: "Hahhh…"
Fiona: "Hmmm…"
Meanwhile
Sophie: "Hahhhh… I wonder why I stopped drinking… oh… I'd rather just pass out now… but I hate drinking… so I have to stay awake."
Marcus: "I see you're at your limit too."
Sophie: "Marcus…"
Marcus: "Hahhh…"
Sophie: "How is Lucy?"
Marcus: "She's still in the wheelchair… how is the boy Fiona tried to save?"
Sophie: "Unfortunately didn't work… when Fiona and Casper woke up they only found his clothes, apparently the black hole killed him by reversing his age… Fiona acted like she didn't care… but I saw her stand by his clothes for an hour…."
Marcus: "Hahhh… it's worse than expected… who would have thought we'd go back almost 100 years… normally it's 50 or 10 years…"
Sophie: "Yes…"
Marcus: "And what are you going to do now?"
Sophie: "No idea… we can't do much… we are detectives, handling the war is the officers' task."
Marcus: "Then… how about coming with me for tea?"
Sophie: "Is that a… pick-up line?"
Marcus: "(Sweat)… um…"
Sophie: "Hahhh… okay… no coffee, life is bitter enough."
Marcus: "As you wish…"
A few minutes later
Marcus: "Hahh… even here people are afraid…"
Sophie: "We are in Prussia after all… they almost lost the war against Weimarer back then…"
Marcus: "Hmmm…"
Sophie: "They say about 20 percent of humanity died just because of this war… the Heidelheimer war."
Marcus: "It's kind of like a world war… after all, almost all kingdoms participated."
Sophie: "Mhm… only a few didn't… like Dehl didn't participate… although Dehl isn't that important anyway…"
Marcus: "It's strange… when will time return?"
Sophie: "There's your problem…"
She took the milkshake.
Sophie: "It only ends with the next black hole… but… it's very likely it won't be as big, it will be the last one."
Marcus: "Wait… that means?"
Sophie: "That means some kingdoms will remain as they are… some will still be in 1371 while others are in 1462… And the next problem is… when it appears… what if it comes in eighty years… a hundred thirty years…"
Marcus: "Damn…"
Sophie: "It's really a messed-up situation… you can't even look forward to the next day… tomorrow could simply be yesterday."
Marcus: "Hahhh…"
She continued drinking.
Marcus: "What about your little nose wound here?"
Sophie: "That one? I got it when I was 14… don't I look pretty?"
Marcus: "You still look pretty…"
Sophie: "Mmm… and? Do you have a new girlfriend?"
Marcus: "(Sweat)… no…"
Sophie: "You should start thinking about it… maybe it will make you show more emotions."
Marcus: "You think so?"
Sophie: "I was once engaged… okay…"
Marcus: "Ah yes… Parzival… he's dead."
Sophie: "Mhm…"
Marcus: "Isn't it possible he… could live again… what if the next black hole appears while he's still alive… then you could take him and save him…"
Sophie: "Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that… You can't take anyone from this time loop with you if they come from another time… they turn to ash… or even melt… Fiona once tried… it was two years ago, her first black hole… she tried to save members of an orphanage… she took them with her… and… well… only their clothes remained… and some remnants…"
Sophie looked around.
Sophie: "But Fiona hasn't forgotten… she… well… she was knocked out from everything she experienced… and then forgot… although I personally think she still remembers… she just wants to forget…"
Meanwhile
Fiona: "Ughhuh!"
She woke up… and quickly went to the bathroom.
Fiona: "(Blearghhh!)… ghhh… again… this dream…"
Two years ago
Fiona: "Hahhh… what year is this… the black hole appeared…"
A newspaper lay on the floor.
Fiona: "Hahhh…"
She picked it up.
Fiona: "1404?… That's the year Prince Hariss was assassinated…"
She looked around…
Fiona: "My first black hole… I don't quite know what to do…"
But just four months later, the next black hole appeared… She tried to save the children from the orphanage… she barely knew the children, but they were near the hotel where she was.
Child: "Hahh… I'm scared… what about the nurse?"
Fiona: "It's okay, my dears… just stay quiet…"
Wushhh!
Fiona: "Are you alright huh!"
She held a hand… but it was a skeleton… the children were dead.
Fiona: "Ughuh!"
Their bodies… were gone, but some bones remained… Fiona fell to her knees…
Fiona: "Ughuhh… huhh."
She looked around… on the floor there was also blood…
Fiona: "Uhhghh… aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
End of memory
Fiona: "Ughuh!!"
She broke the glass.
Fiona: "Ughahhhh… hahhh…"
Chloe: "Hey… Fiona… what's wrong… ughuh!"
Her eyes were full of shock…
Fiona: "Ugh… it's nothing…"
She ran back to her room…
Chloe: "Hahhh…"
Meanwhile
Marcus: "Hmm."
Sophie: "But don't tell Fiona… we don't want to remind her… seeing multiple dead children… is even sad for her…"
Marcus: "Is this also the day Fiona stopped smiling completely…"
Sophie: "Yep… since then she's always serious… more serious, but still… sad…"
Marcus: "Can't she just take a break?"
Sophie: "You forget Fiona was tortured at Howgarts to always work… even when exhausted…"
Marcus: "Ughh…"
Sophie: "And the problem now is resting… with the war going on… I don't know…"
Marcus: "Hahh"
Meanwhile
Lilly: "Hahh."
In Weimarer, the Dark Bride is still present.
Lilly: "Who would have thought something like this would happen."
Gerrard: "Hahh… I barely managed to save Naomi."
Lilly: "How is she?"
Gerrard: "She worries about Cossette and Fiona…"
Lilly: "Understandable… what do you think?"
Gerrard: "I think the Dark Umbrella is already taking care of them…"
Lilly: "Mhm…"
Gerrard: "Hahh… was there no way to sense it?"
Lilly: "No… the only one who knows about stars very well was Konren… although Cinderella might have been able to sense it through moonlight…"
Patch!
Cinderella: "Indeed…"
Lilly: "I have sensed your presence for a long time… so… what do you want here, Cinderella?"
Cinderella: "Take care of my little sister…"
Lilly: "Hmm?"
Cinderella: "I sensed nothing… no, I must say the moon… was a bit strange… probably because the black hole was before it… that's why it was slightly weak…"
Lilly: "Hah… did you meet Rudeus?"
Cinderella: "No… my powers are still not fully restored, but I found the doll… hehe…"
Lilly: "If that's the case, why haven't you done anything yet? Normally, you would curse people now…"
Cinderella: "I've been asleep for a long time… I just want to chill for now, like people here say."
