## Story

### Act 1

After returning to the Sea of Quanta, Seele found herself locked in a cell. Later, she met a woman with pink hair who called herself SAKURA and had fox ears. She took out the photo of her sister RIN and asked if Seele had seen her. After Seele said she didn't know, SAKURA planned to take Seele away, signalling Seele to follow her and leave the cell first. After looking around, Seele found herself in a world bubble. Knowing that Bronya was also looking for herself, Seele decided to take the initiative to find a way to leave the world bubble.

Seele follow SAKURA through the guards and take the elevator to the archives room. When the system checked the personnel movement records in various regions, SAKURA and SAKURA deepened their understanding of each other, and Seele agreed to follow SAKURA to leave.

After the search results came out, the two went to the 33rd floor underground where Ling was transferred, and were stopped by Kevin on the way. SAKURA and Seele flashed behind KEVIN for an instant, and ran deeper into the passage without looking back. At the same time, sirens from other floors sounded, and SAKURA told KEVIN that the Herrscher of Reason had awakened and asked him to attack immediately.

### Act 2

SAKURA and Seele, who successfully escaped, encountered the zombies turned into by the base soldier, and Seele's stigmata also lost control due to unknown reasons, showing a brand new posture. With SAKURA's help, Seele quickly woke up. She blamed herself for losing control again, and Seele slowly regained her confidence under SAKURA's comfort. After Seele asked her second personality about the situation just now, her second personality said that the stigmata was completely out of control, and she couldn't even stop that as a stigmata consciousness.

After reaching the 33rd floor underground, the two found the confinement room where RIN was located, but they saw RIN's broken body. SAKURA sat on the ground with a nervous breakdown. In order to buy time for SAKURA to ease over, Seele and KEVIN, who arrived later, cleared the group of zombies. At this time, MEI sent bad news, telling KEVIN that the 12th Herrscher had controlled all the electronic systems and was taking control of the nuclear bomb silo. After hearing the news, SAKURA, in order to keep her pride as her sister, "frozen" to stop her Seele and KEVIN, SAKURA tried her best to eliminate all the corroded mechas and dead soldiers, and arrived at RIN's side. As a result, the RIN's behavior was disordered, and Dr. MEI took the opportunity to seal the Herrscher.
