A person's painful experiences were not something they would easily tell others, much less show them. Yet Sirin directly laid her painful past before Theresa, all to persuade Theresa to join her.
Even after Sirin had died once, revived using K423's body, and become Bronya... she still had not forgotten to have the Captain persuade Theresa to join her.
Otto's Fault
Theresa was pulled into the Imaginary Space by the Imaginary Hand controlled by Sirin. At first... Theresa felt as though she were underwater, unable to breathe or speak, and terribly uncomfortable.
But that feeling did not last long. Soon, she found herself in another place. There was nothing here... the light was dim, and the ground below was covered in deep water whose bottom could not be seen.
Theresa realized she was standing directly on the surface of the water, as if it could support a person. She had not fallen in.
Before Theresa had time to think, a beam of light suddenly appeared in front of her. There... stood four little girls and a priest dressed in a Schicksal uniform.
The scene before her was like a projection displayed in front of Theresa. She recognized one of the girls... she was probably what that purple-haired girl had looked like in the past.
Theresa silently watched the scene... the priest before her was speaking to the four children. Roughly speaking, he said they carried an illness known as "Honkai," but that he represented Schicksal and would take in orphans like them.
However, they would need to cooperate in participating in certain experiments.
Then the scene shifted, and Theresa saw a doctor in a white lab coat holding a syringe filled with liquefied Honkai energy... He grabbed little Sirin's arm and prepared to pierce her vein.
"Wait... wait!"
