Kallen's Farewell Letter Brings a Crowd to Tears
Upon hearing the words "message about widowhood," Sakura couldn't help but laugh out loud, but then, realizing it might be inappropriate, she suppressed her laughter again.
"Kevin and Otto envy each other; it's hard to say."
Little Knowledge pouted.
"Actually, this is easy to understand. Kevin envies Otto for being willing to do anything to resurrect his lover, and Otto also envies Kevin for truly falling in love with May 50,000 years ago and having a child, even if it was conceived through in vitro fertilization."
Fu Hua explained.
Fools and heroes repel each other yet envy each other.
How ironic, yet how normal, this scene.
"Alas, it's a pity that Boss Kevin isn't Otto; he wouldn't do those things to revive Sister May."
Pardo sighed.
"It's also a pity that Otto isn't Kevin; he wouldn't sacrifice everything to save humanity and fight against the Honkai."
Sakura also sighed.

Chapter 475 Kallen's Farewell Letter, Knife Weeps a Group of People.
Fools who drive others to folly and heroes who wish to save the world envy each other.
What an absurd, bizarre, yet perfectly normal scene.
"Kevin, can you really do what Otto did?"
Mei couldn't help but look at Kevin, who was still deep in thought, and asked him a question.
"I have no idea."
Kevin shook his head.
To be precise, he didn't know what his character in the story was thinking; at least, his desire to revive Maggie and save the world was stronger.
"Mei, the question you asked is fundamentally flawed."
Mobius glanced at it.
"If Kevin had that kind of brain, humanity would have defeated the Honkai long ago."
Mobius's words were like a sharp blade piercing Kevin's heart.
Kevin clutched his chest, pinning his hopes on Mei.
To his surprise, Mei actually nodded in agreement.
Kevin felt even more heartbroken.
Instead of discussing unrealistic things, let's talk about what Otto really meant by saying, "He and I will never exist in the same world at the same time."
Yaqing suddenly spoke up to offer a suggestion.
The three of them were taken aback.
"It means that Otto's plan will ultimately result in his own disappearance."
Mei guessed.
It can no longer be called speculation. Perhaps Otto's own words and his restless desire to perform suggest that Otto departure was inevitable.
"Yeah, is there even a need to guess?"
Kevin agreed.
Only Mobius's gaze toward Yaqing gradually became strange.
She had reason to suspect that Yaqing was up to something big.
Yaqing smiled.
They didn't say much.
But did his smile make the three of them uncertain?
Stop messing around.
Kevin muttered to himself.
In the scene, Amber approaches Theresa, who is also a blueprint for the plan to revive Kallen. A-303 and A-310, they go together to find Kallen's belongings that are missing according to the Schicksal Records.
Using time-space projection, they actually found the relic.
It was a small box.
There are two items inside.
One was a broken model airplane, and the other was a letter.
Upon seeing the airplane model, Otto's pupils contracted, and he quickly realized what Yaqing wanted to do, so he couldn't help but take a breath.
Yaqing's desire for a knife has never been limited to the audience.
And then there's Otto himself.
"That model is..."
Kallen recognized her too.
The Iris Chapter: Kallen and Otto's first encounter was also the first ray of light to shine into Otto's heart.
A sense of foreboding washed over Kallen.
Otto pulled Kallen into his arms.
It seems they already foresaw what was about to happen.
Theresa handed the letter to Amber; it was not just a simple letter, but a farewell from Kallen Kaslana to Otto Apocalypse 500 years ago.
Kallen's voice makes its first appearance in the main storyline, not through a flashback.
"Thank you for coming to see me today, and thank you for the red wine you brought."
"But... I'm sorry, I can't accept the choice you've offered me."
Kallen's refusal was not unexpected by the audience.
If she hadn't refused, she wouldn't be the faith that Otto has championed for five hundred years.
Kallen's voice was filled with sorrow and despair.
"I have tried, Otto. I have tried many paths, tried to reverse the unreasonable reality, and tried to uphold the justice in my heart."
"But Otto, we are ultimately too inexperienced, too weak..."
"So naive that they were used as pawns by those cunning old men without realizing it, so weak that even if they did their best, they couldn't change this terrible world."
Kallen recalled the Phantom Thief operation of the Iris Chapter, how satisfied they were back then. She admitted that it was the happiest time of Kallen Kaslana's life.
But soon they encountered a wall, a wall built of desire and self-interest, and they eventually parted ways within that wall.
"I left my original world, but I never found a new continent that could change everything."
"Even in the far East, by some twist of fate... I, like you, unintentionally brewed a bitter pill that could never be undone."
"You killed your own sister Eleanor, and I... killed her."
Pardo glanced at Sakura furtively.
Everyone knows who the "she" Kallen is talking about is. Even in the story, Yae Sakura and Sakura are two very distinct people, one from the Previous Era and the other from the current civilization.
In reality, there is only cherry blossom.
After all, in reality, there are no two people who look exactly alike but are not related by blood. Even if there were, their sisters wouldn't look exactly alike.
Cherry remained silent.
Her silence was not a knife.
Even a novice ship's lament is still a ship's lament.
She was feeling melancholy because of her close friendship with Kallen. Yaqing had written two characters specifically for her in the story, just to make them more like Kallen.
Even now, many people online jokingly say that Bishop Otto, who ruled the Schicksal for 500 years, could never defeat the pink fox of the Far East.
Stop joking!
In reality, Otto is the president of the world's number one conglomerate, while she is just an ordinary worker!
"Sister Ying, you..."
Pardo still didn't dare to ask the question that was weighing on her mind.
Sakura glared at her fiercely.
Humans are destined to have negative emotions such as weakness and selfishness, and even heroes are no exception; these are aspects unique to human beings.
Even if Kallen is the Saintess Otto has worshipped for five hundred years, and is considered a perfect Saintess.
Kallen is indeed a hero, but she also has her own weaknesses: shortsightedness, confusion, and mistakes. No one is perfect, and this is precisely her human nature.
Kallen calls herself a clumsy person who is unwilling to betray her original intentions. But aren't heroes like that? They all have their own selfish desires, but without exception, they all firmly realize their original intentions.
At the end of the letter.
Kallen Kaslana bid farewell to Otto Apolis.
"As long as this heart is still beating... my body and my will cannot become a chess piece without flesh and blood."
"If I want to continue being myself, then this is the only path I can take."
"I know this will make you very sad, but Otto, if at this very moment, the 'Hero Kallen' in your heart still exists—"
"Then she should be able to tell you why she would rather die than agree to the condition of turning living people into political pawns."
"So... farewell, my great inventor. In your heart, I may truly remain an eternal hero."
Central Europe.
Otto's eyes were red.
That is the greatest support and respect for the script.
Even Otto Apocalypse couldn't dodge this blade, let alone anyone else.
Kallen was already in tears.
"Otto ..."
Kallen grabbed Otto's sleeve.
She deeply sensed her own inner feelings within the storyline. She could have survived by following Otto's plan, but that would have betrayed her beliefs and original intentions, so... she was willing to die.
But she never considered what Otto would become after she died. Would he become paranoid after the death of the only Saintess who brought him light?
All she knew was that her death would sadden Otto.
For Otto, the real torment began after Kallen's death.
He couldn't even imagine the world after Kallen's death, nor could he imagine what Kallen's feelings were when she wrote this letter.
Guilt? Sadness? Despair?
Or perhaps both.
From then on, Otto lived as the shadow of the Saintess, a wandering ghost who drifted through the world for 500 years like a walking corpse.
But Otto thought again, if Kallen really wanted to live on, and betrayed the so-called heroic act and abandoned her original intention, would Kallen still be the perfect Saintess in his heart?
Otto shook his head.
It's not about denying it, but about making the brain forget the question that's on its mind.
Whether Kallen is a hero or Saintess is none of his concern; he only wants Kallen to live, to live well.
"The birth of tragedy..."
Otto murmured, staring blankly at the title of this episode.
Only now did he realize that the so-called tragedy was his tragedy with Kallen.
Kallen died with guilt and regret, never abandoning her original aspirations.
