Silva woke up in her bed, trying to remember what happened the day before. She was so exhausted after climbing the mountain that she went straight to her room and fell asleep. The day she dreaded came ever so closer, she still didn't know what to expect from Silv but knew she'd do everything she could to not regret it.

"Three days left..."

Silva went to Emely's lab, both to catch up with her and to get her jacket back. The engineer was visibly on a break, talking with Remiel until she noticed Silva enter.

"Silva, have you slept well?"

"I feel like I slept too much... It feels horrible."

"Indeed, sleeping too much can throw off your biological clock, leading to more fatigue than if you woke up at a decent time."

"Thanks, Remiel..." Silva let out a yawn before turning toward Emely "Can I have my jacket now?"

"You love it, do you? I'm glad that you do but you'll need to wait a bit, it's still drying."

"You cleaned it?"

"Of course I did, by the way, what are you doing with it? I saw stains that I've never seen before, are you swimming in the trash with it? I had to get some holy water to wash it properly."

"H-Holy water? Like the one we went to get yesterday?"

"Yep, that's why I sent you to get it. I had to say it was for my time machine or else the leader wouldn't have approved."

Silva was a bit annoyed, not only Emely's smell would disappear from the clothes, but she also had to climb a mountain for that.

"Don't worry Silva, in an hour it should be ready. By the way, today you're free, right?"

"I should be yeah."

"Wonderful, I found a great place where we could go eat something. I guess we can bring Neige so we don't break the rules of going by groups of three."

"Like a romantic dinner?" Asked Silva, thinking about the idea "I don't really like restaurants but if it's with you it's alright."

"It will be tonight, we can always do something else if you prefer."

"Oh no, I'm okay with it. Have you asked Neige if he's free already?"

"Not yet, I will when I see him. By the way, Remiel and I have been working on a new uniform for our new member."

"Our new member?" Silva paused for a moment, trying to remember who joined lately "Are you talking about the anomaly?"

"Yes, miss nun. I know she'll... Leave soon enough, but it's fun to make new outfits. Would you mind trying a few to see how they look?"

"You already did some of them? You're fast."

"I'm fast only when it's not annoying."

Emely took a pile of clothes that she put on her desk, inciting Silva to take some of them.

"You made more clothes here than I have in my room."

"You can keep them after, it's too small for miss nun, I just want to see how it looks."

"Are you sure you didn't make them just to see me in them?" Silva asked while chuckling.

"Maybe, just try them already."

Silva decided to take one at random and try some of the uniforms Emely and Remiel made. She didn't plan on it taking too long, but half of the day passed and she didn't even try half of them yet.

Silva took a break to go at take a cup of coffee for her and Emely. While she made the cups, Neige arrived and stared at her in shock. The girl quickly noticed her friend's weird behavior and turned toward him with a puzzled expression.

"Neige? Are you alright?"

"I am but... Why are you dressed like that?"

"Oh, that, I'm testing the new uniform for Ada."

"That's her uniform? That's just straight-up a nun costume, are you sure it's not Emely using it as an excuse to put you in these outfits?"

"I think so too yeah, I started to have some doubts when she put me in a nurse uniform but it's fun. By the way, I'll need you to come tonight."

"I'm not sure I want to be a part of your kink..."

"N-No, it's not related to that, Emely invited me to a restaurant but we need a third person to come with us."

"That's troublesome... I was a bit busy..."

"Really? Is it because of a girl?" Silva asked with a grin.

"Technically, yes. I just wanted to spend time with Polyetta today, I've noticed that we haven't spent a lot of time together lately."

"Just bring her along then, I'm sure she'll be happy to go with you."

"I suppose I could, it would be a nice break. I'll go tell her, just text me the time."

"Alright, I will."

Neige was about to leave but was stopped by Silva, who grabbed his sleeve when he passed next to her. Neige looked at her with concern, trying to understand what was happening.

"Silva? Is everything alright?"

Silva stayed silent for a moment before letting go of the sleeve.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I was just unfocused."

Neige took Silva in his arms, surprising the girl while doing so.

"I don't know what you're thinking about but... It will be alright, no matter what happens, I know we won't have any regrets."

"You're right, it's just a bit hard to believe sometimes. We have three days before Silv does whatever she plans to do... There are... So much I wish I did differently. I'm already twenty but I feel like I've only been living for a few years. There's so much I didn't do yet."

"Already twenty? You're only twenty, don't expect to do everything you wanted by then. It may even take a century for that, you'll need to accept you can't do everything you want. Just enjoy the things you're living for now, when the end comes, you'll be able to smile at it without any regrets... But don't die yet, I'll be sad if you leave."

Silva chuckled a bit while holding Neige back.

"You better not leave either, there's so much we need to do together."

The two friends stepped back. Silva quickly noticed that her friend was acting weird for some reason but couldn't understand why.

"Neige? Are you alright? Are you... Sad?"

"No, I just... Can't take you seriously when you're dressed like that."

Silva forgot that she was still dressed like a nun but quickly took this opportunity to tease her friend.

"Come on my child, why do you feel so distraught? Perhaps you are harboring unholy thoughts for women of faith?"

"No, it's just that if I had to think about the opposite of a nun, I'd think of you."

"I guess so, I'm far from their ideals. Do you really think some people are into nuns? I feel like only a sick pervert would be attracted by them."

"I think Emely must have something for nuns, she did put you in a nun uniform."

Silva thought for a moment, a bit confused.

"It's fine if it's Emely, but it's still very weird."

Neige smiled while rubbing Silva's head.

"I'll need to go ask Polyetta to come with us, I hope Emely's not going to give you weird outfits."

Neige left and laughed, leaving Silva alone in the room. The girl took the two cups in her hand and headed toward Emely's lab. She walked in the hallway but was stopped in her way by Ada's voice. She turned toward her, wondering why the woman wanted.

"Hey, err... Silva?"

"Yes, that's my name."

Ada smiled to herself, visibly proud of herself for remembering.

"That's great! I was curious about something, are you a woman of faith?"

"Me? No, Emely just made me wear that."

"G-Good. The idea of God is nefast and only brings demise."

"Aren't you a nun? I thought they worshiped the spaghetti God or something."

"The... What? Neige warned me you were interesting but I wasn't ready for that. And I'm not really a nun anymore, after all, the Goddess I worshiped was the reason behind Neige's death..."

"That seems like enough reason to stop worshipping them, but then, why does everyone call you a nun?"

"I think it's because I still wear the uniform, to be honest, my Neige was the one that knew everything about fashion. Before him, I was even sleeping in this uniform, and now that he's not here, I'm a bit lost..."

"I can understand, I don't know how I'd do without Neige. Emely helps me now, but I never paid attention to my appearance before."

"So every Neige is good with fashion, that's interesting. I thought your Neige wouldn't, he doesn't dress like a girl, unlike mine." Ada said, trying to imagine Neige in a cute outfit.

"That's because you never saw how cute he is when he dresses in feminine clothes. Well, I don't really know since I'm blind, Sepide told me."

"Y-You're blind?" Ada stepped back, surprised by the information "But you move your body in such an elegant way, it's so hard to believe."

"That's not hard, everyone could do it. It's strange but it rarely affects me on my missions, it's mostly in my daily life. I remember once I decided to try another flavor of coffee, I found one that was so horrible but I couldn't tell which one it was. If I could see, I would have looked. Now I only drink the same one just to make sure I don't feel this horrible taste again."

"I thought you would complain about something else than coffee, it seems like such a handicap."

Silva suddenly remembered what she was doing. The cups in her hand were completely cold after her two conversations.

"We'll continue another time, I really need to go now... Emely will scold me for taking too long."

Silva hurried toward Emely's lab while Ada waved at her. It felt strange to talk with someone who was her enemy for so long, but at the same time, she felt that Ada wasn't a bad person.
