<p class="article-text">In the four weeks beginning from now, the lab assistant named Welt will be bearing a heavy responsibility. Lab 42 is now on a “quasi-holiday” because the supercomputer Ada has been shackled with a computationally-heavy task — which means Welt needs to organise recreational activities for the two doctors every day for the entire period. Although one of the doctors proclaims that “Just because we're on vacation, doesn't mean we don't need to work some days”; given the personality of the other doctor, it seems difficult to say for certain what the workload is going to be like for Welt … </p>

<p class="article-text">I know that you are a person who likes reading. But … have you ever thought about what has caused us human beings, in our struggle against the Honkai, to be repeatedly thwarted, to suffer loss after loss? After all, what flaws make us vulnerable to constant forestalling by the Honkai, to the point that we are close to complete surrender, too tired to cope anymore? </p>
|

<p class="article-text">In other words … why do we always, always, always repeat the same mistakes? </p>

<p class="article-text">It is true that, throughout human history, we have been steadily progressing, and this trend of progress will unlikely be obstructed by any trivial event or matter; but what I've been seeing more, are those pioneers who stand on the crest of the wave — isolated and cut off from help, battered and bruised, caught between a rock and a hard place. Sometimes, they may even lose, defeated and embarrassed by their own human foibles. Spiritually, they may be giants, but sometimes physically or materially they are weaklings; their spiritual strength often takes a long time to be passed down to later generations, before they are eventually recognised as cherished paragons. </p>

<p class="article-text">Earlier, I told you the story of Saint Kallen. However, what I want to say today is … Despite her strong force of character, nature instead granted her the body of an ordinary girl (although the bloodline of Kaslana is definitely nothing ordinary … but that won't make much difference to what I'm about to say here) — a body so weak and frail, one so minuscule and insignificant, that even the common folk can sentence her to death, so that even a lowly Honkai beast can take her life with ease. </p>

This kind of bravery, emanating from the heart, is like the sun to us ordinary folk — something we can all see, but can clearly never attain. </p>

<p class="article-text">But imagine, if, if each of us really has a chance to rid ourselves of this fragility; if we can uproot this fear, this thought of “I am fragile” deeply rooted within our hearts … then we can create a new culture at that moment, one that is full of forgiveness, full of self-confidence, and full of vigour! And then this so-called “Honkai”, won't it then dwindle to something so small, so insignificant, as to be unworthy of further mention? </p>
