Story Role

Simulated Universe test

March arrives at Herta Space Station with Stelle for a Simulated Universe test. Eager to see Peppy and Ruan Mei’s new creation, she takes Asta to find them and becomes enamored with Lin Feng’s Cat Cake form 11 13.

When Lin Feng and Peppy follow the group to the test compartment, March suggests taking the Cat Cake into the simulation. She and Stelle enter first; Lin Feng and Peppy sneak in afterward 14.

Inside, March and Stelle encounter a time loop, distorted images, Voidrangers, and chaotic data streams. They later find Lin Feng in human form, with his head resting on March’s lap. March questions him about his presence and, after hearing his fabricated explanation and account of seeing Nous, agrees that Herta and the Express crew should be informed 18 20.

March repeats Lin Feng’s researcher story to Herta and offers to help him find a way home. At the exit, he secretly changes back into a Cat Cake, leaving March surprised to see the creature emerge instead of the researcher 19.

Afterward, March tells Herta about a red, blurry humanoid figure she saw in the simulation. Herta identifies the figure as Sparkle and shuts down the Simulated Universe for investigation 20.

The Cat Cake on the Express

After leaving the station, March discovers that Lin Feng’s Cat Cake has stowed away aboard the train. She is reluctant to send him back, and Ruan Mei gives permission for him to stay on the Express 21 22.

March and Stelle introduce the Cat Cake to Himeko and Pom-Pom, consult Dan Heng about its needs, and make it a place in the recreation room. Later, March finds it hiding in her room, bathes it, and lets it sleep beside her pillow 23 24 25 26.
