“ thank you for loving me when i still tasted of heartache and war. ” Sim Kalpas finally getting to talk to her again? So quiet and reserved.

As a simulation, she knows not what exactly happened when her last backup was loaded in. It was done right before the banquet, the worries and the concerns that were all over the place have been sitting in her mind for a long time up until some would update. She wondered, as a simulation, if she would be deleted after all, but it never happened. If anything, she saw Mobius before it all ended, the knowledge of the loss have been shown to her and she was saddened that her dearest friends have suffered so much. Kevin’s words, too, were not too far away from the truth: even if he did not have Judgement of Shamash, the result would’ve been the same.
So she waited, eagerly but also nervously for the sims to be updated post the time the banquet had to happen. The silence in Elysian Realm filled her with anxiety she never allowed to be seen with others, she would stay alone while plying with the memories of cats and dogs within Elysium Everlasting, the deepest part of this realm she never showed anyone, a place she would disappear into whenever it was needed for her to do so. And so, the Second-in-Command waited until it all started to change, but she did not expect Kalpas to approach her. Their conversation - as usual - only between them, so the other could speak his honest opinion for Elysia knew how gentle and fragile the man’s heart could be and how brightly his soul shined akin to a never-ending flame. 
Ah, his words... They touched her, even as a simulation, she could feel the weight of those words all too sharply. It meant the world to her, gaze gentle and soft as she cannot help but let her smile become just a bit sadder. She would not have chosen another approach to this situation, but she would’ve spoken to them all again, but face-to-face before departing. His words already explain everything to her: she has passed away in the world of living, now it is only them all as a memory, as a recollection, as a legacy. Her gaze tender as she looks at Kalpas, reaching out with her hand to him before stopping midway as if afraid he will slap her hand away despite such wonderful and delightful words.

“ Kalpas, ” she says his name with gentleness of a spring wind that awakens the nature from its deep slumber, gently nudging it to open its eyes and greet the bright sun. He doesn’t understand the love she has for them and how deeply it runs into her very being, shaping her into who she is today and now standing before him. She would love him and all without judgement, without hesitation, without stepping back or looking away from their flaws. “ I will always love you, no matter if heartache and war will continue to be the only present in your soul. I will never stop loving you or anyone else from Flamechasers, you are my everything. My home, my true paradise. ” 
Her words are soft and warm like the first sight of river after the snow began to melt, bringing the life towards all who is still asleep through its touch. The flow of her words would speak of how intimately they were treasured and how true they were in her heart. She means every single one o those words, eyebrows furrowing ever so lightly only to underline the softness of her expression alongside her voice. 
Of course, she will love him no matter what anyone says. As she did every single one of Flamechasers, she will never abandon this love. 
“ No matter what, I will never give up on this love, on Flamechasers, on you. My heart... is with you all, always. ”
