Simultaneous Exhibition 1 同台博弈1

ColphneWell then~ I'll count down from three, and we'll all pull the party poppers together, okay?那么~人家倒数三个数，大家一起拉礼花好不好？

CommanderIs this really necessary...?没必要这么隆重吧……

ColphneOf course it is~ This job we just completed brought in enough funds to keep the Elmo running for quite a while, isn't that right, Mayling?有必要有必要~这次完成的订单报酬够艾莫号运行很久了，对不对呀美玲？

MaylingIt's true! Fuel, electricity, water... We won't have to worry about any of these for the next few months!确实！油费、电费、水费……这几个月基本上都不用担心啦。

ColphneSo—three, two, one!所——以——三、二、一！

(Pop! Pop! Pop!)（砰砰砰！）

(Following the sound of party poppers, confetti and paper streamers rain down all over me. Through the gaps in the crowd, I spot a familiar figure walk into the lounge.)（随着礼炮的声响，彩条和亮片落满我的全身，在人群的间隙中，我看到了一个熟悉的身影走进了休息室。）

CommanderLeva?莱娅？

LevaMy, my, things sure are lively here. So? Something good happened while I was away?哎呀，这里可真是热闹，怎么？我不在的时候发生了什么好事吗？

CommanderWe just completed a job big enough to cover all of the Elmo's essential operating costs for a few months. It's definitely worth celebrating.刚完成了一个报酬能包圆艾莫号几个月必要开支的订单——这么一想的确值得庆祝一下。

CommanderCare to join us, Leva?莱娅要一起吗？

(Leva scans the cheerful crowd, then looks at me.)（莱娅的眼睛扫过欢闹中的众人，看向我。）

LevaI'll pass.我就算了。

LevaI just finished a mission for Kalin, so I need to recharge for a bit. Catch you later, Commander~刚结束格琳那边的任务，我得去充一会儿电，晚点再见咯，指挥官~

(She gives me a little wave and disappears behind the door.)（她冲我摆了摆手，转身消失在门后。）

(After the party dies down, I stay in the ops room to wrap up the remaining reports.)（热闹过后，我待在指挥室给剩下的报告工作收尾。）

(I hear soft footsteps behind me, and before I can turn around, a pair of hands cover my eyes. Everything goes dark red, and the person behind me pulls me into an embrace.)（身后传来轻微的脚步声，没等我回过头，一双手就捂住了我的眼睛，眼前瞬间被暗红色的阴影笼罩，我感到身后的人把我往胸前一揽。）

Commander...……

CommanderIt's Leva, isn't it?是莱娅吧？

LevaHow can you tell so easily?居然这么容易就猜到了吗？

LevaFrom what I know, I'm not the only Doll on board who'd pull something like this~据我观察，车上会做出这个举动的人形，应该不止我一个哦~

CommanderIt's because you're wearing gloves! I saw them when you waved at me earlier, and then...因为莱娅戴着手套嘛，刚刚冲我摆手的时候有看到，然后……

(I reach up instinctively toward the back of my head, only to feel a sudden chill run down my spine.)（我下意识地伸手想要摸后脑勺，但突然感到背后一股凉意。）

LevaAnd then...?然后？

LevaIt's really just the gloves that you recognized, hm?只是因为分辨出了手套，对吧？

Commander...Y-yes!……是、是！

(I raise my hands in surrender.)（我乖乖举起双手以示投降。）

CommanderLeva... since you had me all figured out already, please go easy on me... I still need my nose, you know.莱娅……既然你已经猜到了就别引我入套了……我留着鼻子还有用呢。

LevaWell, it's been a while since we last saw each other. I was worried you might've forgotten some of our... little rituals.毕竟和指挥官有一段时间没见了，我怕指挥官忘记了我们之间相处的一些小·情·调。

(Leva releases me and sits down beside me.)（莱娅放过了我，坐到了我的身边。）

CommanderYou're right—it HAS been a while.不过话说回来，确实是有段时间没见了。

CommanderKalin keeping you busy?怎么，格琳那边事情很多？

LevaOh, very. Lenna and I have been running around non-stop doing errands for her. We only just managed to squeeze in some downtime.是的哟，非常多，我和莱娜连轴转地帮格琳跑腿，好不容易才挤出一点轮休时间。

LevaI was looking forward to coming back to the Elmo to help you out, Commander, but when I got here, you were already surrounded by a crowd...心里想着快点回艾莫号帮指挥官的忙，没想到一回来，看到指挥官身边热闹得很……

CommanderUh, Leva...呃，莱娅……

LevaI couldn't even get a word in, so I stormed off to sulk and recharge.人家一句话也说不上，只好赌气去充电啦。

LevaYou don't even need me anymore, Commander... Boo-hoo, I even—指挥官，根本不需要我嘛……呜呜，亏我——

Commander...Alright, alright, that's enough, Leva. You're laying it on a little thick.……差不多得了啊，莱娅，演得有点浮夸了。

LevaOh, really?哎呀，是吗？

(Leva instantly slips back into her usual demeanor. She grins mischievously.)（莱娅瞬间恢复了往日的仪态，笑容有些狡黠。）

CommanderSometimes I think you enjoy making me call you out... You only came looking for me after everyone else had left. I'm guessing there's something you wanted to talk about?有时候，我觉得你就是在以让我戳穿你为乐……等大家都离开才来找我，应该是有什么事要和我商量吧？

LevaAs expected of you, Commander. I see you haven't forgotten the way we work... or the way we flirt.不愧是指挥官，不管是我们之间的情调还是默契都没有忘记嘛。

LevaI've got a mission Kalin asked me to take on. After some thought, I realized only you could help.我这里，有个格琳委托的任务，我思来想去感觉只有指挥官能帮到我。

CommanderLet's hear it.说来听听。

LevaIt's about that shady PMC that's been all over the news lately.是关于最近很火的那个非法P.M.C.的情报。

LevaWe've arranged to meet with a contact at Barek's gala to receive intel.我们和线人约定在巴雷克的晚宴上接头传递情报。

CommanderBarek... oh, that famous philanthropist? He's hosting another auction?巴雷克……哦，是那个很有名的慈善家，他最近又要搞拍卖啦？

LevaThat's the one. The gala is human-only. If I show up, I'll draw attention. So, I'll need to borrow your human identity for a bit.是的，这个晚宴限定人类才能参加，我自己去太容易引起怀疑了，所以要稍微借用一下指挥官的人类身份啦。

CommanderHm...嗯……

LevaThe Non-Military Forces Administration is offering a very generous reward for this one.对于这个任务，非军事力量管理局准备了非常丰厚的报酬。

LevaAnd the gala's being held at one of the most luxurious resorts in the White Zone, so it's practically a paid vacation~而且任务地点的酒店也是白区首屈一指的豪华度假酒店，去也相当于公费休假哦~

LevaWhat do you say, Commander? Interested?怎么样指挥官，考虑一下？

(It really is an enticing offer.)（确实，是一个非常诱人的委托。）

CommanderYou certainly know how to pique someone's interest.你是懂怎么吊人胃口的。

CommanderBut I still need to review all the mission details before I decide.不过我还是需要任务的各种细节资料才可以做决定。

LevaCautious as always, Commander. Makes you all the more attractive.时刻保持谨慎的指挥官也很有魅力呢。

LevaI'll send you the full brief later. I won't bother you while you're working now.任务资料我一会儿发给你吧，现在就不打扰指挥官工作了。

(Leva stands up and dusts off her skirt.)（说着莱娅站起了身，拍拍裙摆。）

LevaHm... You were right that I came only after everyone has left because I had business to discuss. However... it's also true that I wanted a moment alone with you, Commander.唔，虽然的确是有要事相商，才在大家走了之后来见指挥官，不过——想和指挥官独处也是真的哦。

(Before I can reply, she walks out of the ops room, her steps light and quick.)（没等我回话，莱娅就迈着轻快的步伐离开了指挥室。）

Simultaneous Exhibition 2 同台博弈2

Commander(Payment terms, risk assessment, operational outline... Hm, nothing seems problematic.)任务报酬、风险评估、操作细则……嗯，重复检查过了都没什么问题。

LevaSo... shall we work together?那么，合作愉快？

CommanderYeah. Looking forward to it.嗯，合作愉快。

(I shake Leva's outstretched hand, then suddenly recall a detail from the mission file.)（我握住了莱娅伸出的手，突然想起了任务书中的某个细节。）

CommanderLeva, about our fake identities... Are we really registering as a couple?莱娅，关于我们二人的假身份，是会以“伴侣”的名义进行申报吗？

LevaThat's right. We can move around more easily this way, and we can provide better cover for each other.是的哟，因为这样行动比较方便，也能更好地为对方打掩护。

LevaOf course, that's just the official reason.当然，这是官方一点的说法。

CommanderSo what's the unofficial one?那不官方的呢？

LevaThe unofficial one is...不官方的说法是……

(Leva curls a finger, and I lean in close.)（莱娅勾了勾手指，我把耳朵凑了过去。）

LevaYou're free to interpret the purpose of giving you this identity however you want.指挥官可以随意设想这个身份背后的意义。

LevaI won't mind if you overthink it~我不介意指挥官多想哦~

(My chest tightens at the sight of her smug, teasing smile.)（看着莱娅有点得意的笑容，我感觉胸口有点闷闷的。）

CommanderWell, I DID think of quite a few things...那我确实一瞬间想了很多……

LevaOh? Like what?嗯？在想什么呢？

(I motion for a whisper. As she leans in and lowers her head, her hair brushes across the tip of my nose.)（我做了一个要说悄悄话的动作，莱娅低下头，发丝擦过我的鼻尖。）

CommanderFor starters, this is a human-only gala. How are you planning to get in? Are you putting on a disguise?比如——这个人类限定的舞会，莱娅你要怎么混进去呀？化妆？

Leva...……

LevaOf course. I'll be doing some makeup trials in a few days.当然，过几天我会试妆的。

LevaBut instead of worrying about that, shouldn't you be more concerned about the ball?与其关心这个，指挥官不如关心一下晚宴的舞会？

CommanderYou mean there'll be ballroom dancing?你是说晚宴交谊舞的环节吗？

LevaIndeed. Our contact will exchange information during the partner swap. The whole thing has to look natural—we can't rule out enemy surveillance.没错，我们的线人会在交谊舞交换舞伴的环节同时交换线索，整个过程看上去要尽量自然些，因为不排除周围有敌对势力的监控。

CommanderDancing, huh... I did know how to, once.跳舞啊……我以前确实会。

CommanderBut it's been years. With all that crawling through the contamination zones, I haven't done anything so fancy in a long time...但这么多年过去了，在污染区摸爬滚打，已经很久没有进行这种高雅的活动了……

LevaHm... so, you CAN, but you're rusty.嗯……也就是会，但生疏了的意思吧。

LevaSounds like... you'll need some refresher training~看来，有必要进行特训啦~

(To the soft strains of ballroom music in the lounge I spin—and step directly on Leva's foot.)（休息室中，随着舞曲悠扬的旋律，我利落地转身，然后精准地踩中了莱娅的脚。）

CommanderOof... I'm so sorry!啊……抱歉抱歉！

LevaHmm~ How many times does that make? Oh dear, I've lost count.哼哼~这是第几次了呢？糟糕，好像有点记不清了。

Commander...I said I was sorry!……我都说了抱歉了！

LevaAn apology without substance doesn't mean much. And I have a feeling you're going to step on me a few more times.没有实质性好处的道歉，好没有诚意哦，而且我有预感，指挥官等下肯定还会踩我好几次。

LevaWhat to do, hm?这怎么办呢~？

(Leva's soft fingers rest lightly in my hand, but at that moment, they feel more akin to a cat's sharp claws.)（莱娅柔软的指尖轻轻搭在我的虎口处，但此时我觉得它们就像是一根根尖利的猫爪。）

CommanderOkay okay, so how could I make up for this, Lady Leva?好好，那么莱娅大人想要点什么呢？

LevaOh, I'm totally saving this rare blank check you're giving me~这种难得的许愿机会，我可要好好留着~

LevaI'll cash it in when the time is right.适合的时候，我会告诉指挥官的。

CommanderWhen the time is right, huh... Alright.适合的时候啊……好吧。

(I take Leva's hand and we continue to spin.)（我牵着莱娅继续旋转起来。）

(Forward, back, right, back, twirl...)（前、后、右、后、转个圈……）

LevaCommander, lift your head.指挥官，指挥官，把头抬起来。

CommanderMm... huh?嗯……嗯？

(I look up and see an uncharacteristically gentle smile on Leva's face.)（我抬起头，看见了莱娅脸上不同于之前的轻柔笑意。）

LevaBeing out of practice and stepping on someone's foot is normal, but Commander, don't forget the original intent of dancing.技巧生疏了，会踩到脚很正常，但指挥官可别忘了舞蹈的初心哦。

CommanderWhat might that be?是什么？

LevaDance originated from the mating displays of animals. Humans imitated and refined it, turning it into a tangible act of emotional interaction.舞蹈起源于动物的求偶动作，人类模仿、改良，让它变成了人类之间情感博弈的具现化行为。

CommanderHow complicated.还挺复杂。

LevaIt can be, but it's also simple. At its core, it's a game of pursuit—a push and pull.说复杂也挺简单的，本质上就是你追我赶的追逐游戏。

LevaTo know when to advance and when to retreat, one must constantly gauge their partner's attitude and anticipate their thoughts.但是什么时候该向前，什么时候该让步，都要时刻关注对方的态度，揣测对方的想法。

LevaSo your attention should always be on your partner.所以注意力要时时刻刻放在对方的身上才行。

CommanderI see. Basically, I shouldn't be overly focused on the footwork itself. Instead, my focus should be on you and your movements, right?懂了，你的意思就是让我不要过分关注舞步本身，而是要关注莱娅你的动态是吧？

LevaNot a very romantic way to put it, but you would be most correct~虽然是个不太浪漫的说法，但是没错的~

LevaCommander, what you need to do is look into my eyes.指挥官要好好看着我的眼睛才行。

(She places a hand gently on my cheek, guiding my gaze to meet hers.)（莱娅伸出一只手扶住我的脸庞，让我与她的目光在空气中相接。）

LevaI don't care who you usually pay attention to. Right now, I want your eyes on me and me alone~我可不管指挥官平常比较注意谁，此时此刻，就只能看着我哦~

CommanderUnderstood.我明白了。

(We twirl together once again.)（我们再次旋转起来。）

(I watch Leva closely—her subtle expressions, the slight flicker in her eyes—guiding her smoothly past a box on the ground and brushing past the couch.)（我看着莱娅，观察着她细微的神态变化和眼神变化，如流水一般带着她绕过地上的纸箱，与沙发擦肩而过。）

(...Now that I look closely, Dolls really are incredibly human-like...)（……仔细看来，人形真的很像人类啊……）

CommanderOh!啊！

(There is a strange sensation under my foot. I look down—I've stepped on her again.)（脚下有奇怪的触感，我低头一看，果然又踩中了。）

CommanderUgh...呃……

LevaYou were distracted. What were you thinking about?指挥官，你分心了，在想什么呢？

CommanderN-nothing... Haha. I probably just misread your thoughts...没……哈哈，可能只是我猜错莱娅的想法了……

LevaWhen there are conflicting ideas between parties, someone inevitably gets hurt.当双方的想法发生分歧，伤害就发生了呢。

CommanderThat's true. Oddly enough, even though I'm the one who made the mistake, you're the one who got hurt.确实，不过说来也很奇特，明明是我出错了，受伤的却是莱娅。

LevaThat's the nature of games.这就是博弈的奇妙之处。

LevaThe one who gives more might end up hurt, while the one who's more carefree may stand to gain more.付出多的一方可能会被伤害，更随心随意的那个说不定会得到更多。

CommanderDoesn't sound very fair. Isn't it unsettling to deal with so many unknowns?不是很公平呢，而且未知的东西太多了不会觉得不安吗？

LevaIt might be, but it's also more exciting.或许会不安，但是也很有趣啊。

LevaUnpredictable dance steps are like unpredictable human emotions. For Dolls, it's a kind of mystery that can't be simulated with data.不可预测的舞步，如同人类不可预测的情感，对人形来说，这是无法用数据推演得到的准确结果。

LevaOur world has too many certainties. That's why these uncertainties are so fascinating.我们的世界有太多确定的东西了，这才显得这些不确定的异常有趣。

CommanderEven when facing the unknown, you're still so enthusiastic.即使面对不确定的东西，莱娅也依然兴致勃勃呢。

LevaBecause I'm happy.因为开心呀。

CommanderFrom the thrills of the unpredictable?未知带来的刺激？

LevaNo, no~不不不~

LevaI'm happy that I've found a worthy opponent in this game.是因为找到了水平相同的博弈对手。

(Leva's fingers interlace with mine, her palm pressing tightly against mine.)（莱娅的手指穿过我的指间，手掌与我紧密相扣。）

LevaBeing able to spar as equals is a rare thing. Don't you think so, Commander?能够同台竞技，本身就是一件十分难得的事了，你说对吗，指挥官？

CommanderAh... yeah.啊……嗯。

LevaAlright, let's keep practicing.好啦，我们继续练习吧。

Simultaneous Exhibition 3 同台博弈3

CommanderLeva, I'm coming in, okay?莱娅，我进来了？

(Opening the door, the first thing I see is a bunch of cosmetics scattered across her table.)（推开门，我一眼就看到了莱娅桌子上的瓶瓶罐罐。）

CommanderFoundation, lip gloss, eyebrow pencil... Pretty well-equipped, eh?粉底液、唇釉、眉笔……装备挺齐全的嘛。

LevaOf course, I came fully prepared~自然是做了万全的准备~

LevaHm... But makeup doesn't seem like something you can do with just the right tools.唔……不过，化妆好像并不是装备齐全就能简单完成的事。

(Leva is watching a makeup tutorial while trying to apply it.)（莱娅一边看着化妆的视频，一边尝试着上妆。）

(Her technique is clumsy, and her face ends up looking even less natural than before.)（但她的手法很差劲，化完妆之后的脸看上去还不如没上妆前自然。）

Leva...Commander, I can see you're holding back a laugh.……指挥官，我看到你在憋笑了哦。

CommanderHaha, sorry... I'm not laughing at you. It's just rare to see you struggle with something. It's kind of cute.哈哈，抱歉抱歉……但我不是在嘲笑莱娅，只是难得有你不擅长的事，感觉有点可爱。

LevaTurning mockery into a compliment—how very smooth.把调侃以夸奖的形式说出来，指挥官很有一套嘛。

(She hands the makeup tools to me and leans in slightly.)（说罢，莱娅把化妆工具往我眼前一递，抬脸向我靠近了些许。）

LevaDon't just stand there, Commander. Help me with my makeup.指挥官也别闲着，来帮我化妆吧。

CommanderHuh? Me?啊？我？

LevaWhy else do you think I called you over this late?不然指挥官以为我为什么大晚上把你叫过来？

CommanderI mean... I'm not exactly an expert myself. If I end up turning your face into abstract art, don't break my nose, alright?不是……我也不太会啊，到时候直接在你脸上呈现解构艺术，你确定不会打断我的鼻梁？

LevaDo I really seem so violent to you?在你眼里我是那么暴力的人吗？

LevaRelax—I've thought about it. When both people aren't good at something, helping each other usually yields better results than doing it alone.放心——我想过了，在两个人都不会化妆的情况下，帮助对方上妆会比自己化妆效果要好一点。

LevaBesides, you clearly know what makes someone look more human.而且指挥官明显也懂得怎样会更像人类。

CommanderYou sure?你确定？

LevaYou can follow the tutorial too.指挥官也可以跟着教程来哦。

(Leva ignores my protests and moves right on. I know there's no getting out of this.)（当莱娅不再回答我的问题，而是跳到了下一阶段，我就知道这件事是非做不可了。）

CommanderFine... But I don't think following a tutorial will work.好好……不过，我感觉按照化妆教程来可能不太行。

CommanderAren't human makeup tutorials about teaching you how to cover up the flaws on your skin...人类的化妆教程都是教人怎么掩盖真实的皮肤状态的吧……

LevaYou have a point. Then go ahead and do what you think is best~这么想也没错，那指挥官看着办吧~

(After removing the previous failed attempt, I study Leva's face carefully and pick up a brush.)（将之前那个失败的妆造卸掉之后，我仔细端详着莱娅，然后拿起了上妆工具。）

CommanderI think... maybe I should add some tiny imperfection?我感觉……是不是要加上一点瑕疵？

CommanderLike freckles or something—that may look more human.比如雀斑之类的，这样会比较像人类的皮肤。

LevaYou can do whatever you want.指挥官可以完全按照自己的想法来哦。

LevaI trust you~ completely~我完~全~信任你。

CommanderHaha, what an honor...哈哈，那还真是荣幸……

(Not.)（才怪呢。）

(If I didn't ask her first, I'd fall into this fox's verbal trap again.)（要是不先问一下，一会儿又会掉进这只狐狸的文字陷阱。）

Commander...Maybe a mole here... and a bit of dark shadow under the eyes to simulate dark circles...……这里点一颗痣吧，然后眼睛下面可以涂一点深色的眼影，看上去比较像黑眼圈……

CommanderOof, dammit. That's too much...嘶，糟糕，涂多了……

(After fumbling around, I sigh and hand Leva the mirror.)（手忙脚乱一阵，然后叹了一口气，将镜子递给莱娅。）

Commander...I tried my best.……我尽力了。

(Leva raises an eyebrow at her own lopsided makeup in the mirror.)（镜子中的莱娅挑了挑歪歪的眉毛。）

LevaSo there are also things you struggle with.指挥官也有不擅长的事呢。

LevaStill, your overall idea was solid—it can still be fixed.不过，化妆思路是对的，还能补救一下。

(She takes the brush from me and starts making adjustments based on my work.)（莱娅拿过化妆工具，开始就着我的手笔补妆。）

CommanderWhy do you suddenly look... way more skilled?怎么感觉……你的手法娴熟了不少？

CommanderWait... Don't tell me you were faking being bad earlier just to mess with me?刚刚不会是为了调侃回来，而故意装作不熟练吧？

LevaOf course not.怎么会。

LevaDolls learn quickly, especially when it comes to things with set techniques like makeup. Once you provided a form of reference, I basically had it figured out.人形学东西本来就很快，特别是化妆这种有特定手法的，有了指挥官的思路之后，基本上就学会了。

LevaThough... I really did want you to do my makeup.不过……想让指挥官给我化妆也是真的啦。

CommanderBecause you wanted to see me fumble?真的想看我做不擅长的事？

(Leva doesn't respond.)（莱娅并不接话。）

LevaI've read that doing makeup for your partner is an incredibly intimate act.我曾在一些资料中看过，为伴侣梳妆是一件极其亲密的事。

LevaWhile you and I are already close as "family", that term is still a bit vague. "Family" can mean many things.虽然指挥官作为“家人”已经很亲密了，但“家人”这个概念还是笼统的，家人之间也有分类。

LevaThis mission gives us a chance to step into a clearly defined role.然而这次的任务，让我们有机会站在一个明确的定位上。

CommanderYou mean as "partners"?你是指“伴侣”吗？

LevaExactly.没错。

LevaPartners are family, too, but in a different, more specific way.伴侣也是家人，但终究和笼统的家人概念是不一样的。

LevaDifferent how? Maybe we can only find out by doing things that only partners would do?那伴侣之间相处有什么特殊的呢？是不是该做一些伴侣之间才会做的事才知道呢？

CommanderThat makes sense. We're playing the part, after all.好像有道理，毕竟我们这次扮演的是“伴侣”嘛。

LevaThat's why~ we should also deepen our connection~所以~是该提升一下这方面的亲密度了~

LevaIt'll make us behave more naturally during the mission.至少在出任务的时候会更加自然些。

(Leva flashes a perfectly natural smile.)（莱娅笑得很自然。）

(But knowing her as well as I do, I know that smile definitely hides something more.)（但已经习惯和她相处的我，知道她的笑容背后一定会有其他含义。）

CommanderShould I say your neural cloud works really fast?该说你心智运转的速度很快吗？

CommanderI feel like you always have some ulterior motive, but the reasons you give on the surface always seem so reasonable.每次总觉得你有其他目的，但表面上的理由又很合情合理。

LevaYou're not so slow yourself, Commander.指挥官也并不迟钝呀。

LevaYou always manage to pick up on what I'm really saying.每次都能读懂我的言外之意。

(Leva's hands keep working as she speaks.)（莱娅没有停下手上的动作。）

LevaBut what you said earlier is also true. I did want to see you fumble doing something you're not good at, just so I could tease you back~不过指挥官之前说的也没错，我也想看看指挥官做些自己不擅长的事，然后调侃回去~

CommanderI'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm definitely not as accomplished as you think. There's a whole list of things I'm bad at.那真是抱歉了，我也的确没有你想得那么游刃有余，不擅长的事有一箩筐。

LevaThat's fine. Imperfection is cute.没关系，不完美才可爱嘛。

(Leva deftly wipes off the excess lip gloss, caps the tube, then turns and looks at me.)（莱娅轻巧地抹去唇角多余的痕迹，扣上唇釉的盖子，转身看着我。）

LevaThoughts?如何？

CommanderHm... So this is what Leva looks like with makeup.嗯……原来化了妆的莱娅是这样的。

LevaWell? Do I feel more like your kind now?怎么样？更有同类的感觉了吗？

CommanderLeva, you're already family. You don't need to deepen our connection by being "my kind".莱娅已经是家人了，不需要再用“同类”增添亲近感了。

CommanderTo me, you're just... Leva.在我眼里，莱娅就只是莱娅。

(Hearing my words, Leva gets up, walks to my side, and wraps her arm around mine affectionately.)（听了我的话，莱娅起身来到我的身边，亲昵地挽住了我的胳膊。）

LevaAs expected from you, Commander. That's a perfect answer in my book~不愧是指挥官，这可是我心中的满分回答~

LevaAs a reward—作为回报——

(Leva winks mischievously and uses a finger stained with lip gloss to gently and slowly trace my cheek.)（莱娅狡黠地眨眨眼，以沾染着唇釉的指尖，轻巧而缓慢地划过了我的侧脸。）

(I catch a glimpse of the faint red mark and the smug look on her face in the mirror on the table.)（就着桌面上的镜子，我看清了那道若有似无的红色痕迹，以及留下痕迹的这人的得逞笑意。）

LevaPlease accept this little "token of affection" from me~就请指挥官笑纳这颗小小的“真心”喽~

Simultaneous Exhibition 4 同台博弈4

(Gourmet food, fine wine, evening gowns... Compared to the contamination zones, this place feels like another world—a flowing cornucopia of pleasures.)（佳肴、美酒、礼服……对比起污染区，这里像另外一个世界，一场流动的盛宴。）

LevaEleven o'clock—she's wearing a feather brooch on her gown... Commander, she's noticed us too.11点钟方向，礼服上别着羽毛胸针……指挥官，她也注意到我们了。

CommanderCan we go now?现在过去不行吗？

LevaProbably not... I count six possible patrol units on the second floor. Their identities are unclear.可能不行……二楼目测有六个疑似巡查单位，身份不明确。

LevaMoving toward the target now could easily expose us.现在朝目标移动容易被发现。

CommanderBut once the ball starts, things will get trickier—because we have to wear this.但一旦舞会开始，事情就会变得麻烦，毕竟要戴上这个。

(I lift the visor in my hand. Every guest has one.)（我掂了掂手上的眼镜，晚宴参与者人手一副。）

(Apart from philanthropy, Barek is also deeply involved in tech investments. This is most probably from one of his ventures.)（除了慈善，巴雷克还很热衷于掺和科技产业，这八成又是他投资的某个产品。）

CommanderThis immersive interactive smart visor projects virtual avatars for everyone, so during the dance, you won't know who anyone really is.这个沉浸式智能交互眼镜，会让所有参与者以虚拟形象出现，这样在跳舞的时候就分不清到底谁是谁了。

LevaHello, it's your lovely and caring electronic warfare Doll, at your service~您的电子战人形为您服务哦~

CommanderYou plan to hack into their central system?你是想要黑进他们的主控系统吗？

LevaOnce the ball begins, I'll use the visor to access their control console and cause all visors to malfunction for a few seconds.舞会开始后，我会通过接入眼镜反向入侵他们的总控台，然后让所有人的眼镜都失效几秒钟。

LevaAs for the real-world follow-up... that's your part, Commander.至于推进现实中的事，就要拜托指挥官啦。

(Leva winks at me.)（莱娅朝我眨了眨眼。）

CommanderI'll have to memorize the virtual avatars of nearby guests. When you crash the system, I'll have to find the informant and make contact, right?我要尽量记住周围人的虚拟形象，在你黑掉系统后，确认线人的方位，然后与之接触——对吧？

LevaBingo~

LevaOh, and one more thing—during that time, you'll need to "look after" my physical body. It'd be weird if I just freeze up on the dance floor.哦，还有一点，指挥官要在这段时间内“照顾”好我的素体，毕竟舞会上突然出现一个僵持不动的人，会非常奇怪呢。

CommanderSounds a bit difficult...感觉有点难度……

LevaIt is. Timing is crucial. We'll need tight coordination and strong synchronization.确实，时机很重要，需要极高的配合度和默契度。

LevaSince the dance steps are pre-choreographed, you just have to follow my lead.不过，舞蹈动作都预设好了，指挥官只需要配合我就好。

LevaThat shouldn't be hard for you, right? We've practiced a lot already~这对指挥官来说，不是难事吧？毕竟我们已经练习过很多次了~

CommanderI'll handle it carefully.我会谨慎对待。

LevaThat's what I love about you, Commander~我就喜欢指挥官这一点~

(The ball begins. Once I put on the visor, the ballroom transforms into another world.)（舞会开始了，戴上眼镜之后，眼前的宴会厅变成了另外一个世界。）

(Strangely dressed avatars spin all around us.)（着装奇异的人们在身边旋转开来。）

(People stroll through space, swim in oceans—experiencing a world sealed off in the past.)（人们时而在太空中漫步，时而遨游在海洋之中，体会着那个被隔绝在过去的世界。）

CommanderI've got to admit... This thing does a pretty good job of showing people what life was like before World War III.不得不说……如果说是想要人们看看三战前世界的景观，这个做得还是蛮好的。

LevaAgreed. But we've got work to do.确实，不过我们的行动要开始了哦。

LevaCommander, you have your strategy ready?指挥官，想好策略了吗？

CommanderJust focus on your part.你只管行动吧。

LevaDirect, but dependable.很强硬嘛，但也很可靠。

LevaWell then... three, two, one—那么，三、二、一——

(The virtual images dissolve into floating particles. The world returns to normal.)（虚拟的影像从眼前呈粒子状消散，世界恢复了原本的面貌。）

(I feel Leva's frame stiffen in my arms. I immediately release her hand and grip her shoulder and waist again, spinning with her naturally.)（我感觉怀中的素体一滞，赶忙松开莱娅的手，搭住她的肩膀又扶紧了她的腰，随着她的牵引旋转了一圈。）

(While spinning, I catch a glimpse of the informant's position—)（旋转的过程中我瞥见了线人的位置——）

(A few seconds later, the virtual images return, dominating everyone's vision again.)（过了几秒，虚拟影像再次主宰了众人的视觉。）

LevaPhew... So, Commander, did you catch it?呼……怎么样，指挥官都记住了吗？

CommanderI did. I also took note of her virtual avatar.记住了，也分辨出了她的虚拟影像。

(I take Leva's hand again and pull her into my embrace.)（我重新抓起莱娅的手，将她揽在怀中。）

(The host doesn't seem concerned about the brief "malfunction". The music continues to play softly, uninterrupted.)（主办方似乎并没有因为刚刚几秒钟的“仪器故障”，而要中断舞会，舞曲依然萦绕在耳边。）

LevaWe're moving toward the informant now?我们现在是在往线人的方向移动？

CommanderYes. We should be able to make contact at the next partner switch.没错，下一轮交换舞伴，应该就可以了。

LevaHmph... Bit of a shame, not being able to finish our first dance. But... see you in a bit~哼哼……虽然有点不甘心，没有和指挥官跳完完整的第一支舞，不过……一会儿见了~

(That's the last thing Leva says before letting go of my hand.)（这是莱娅松开我的手前说的最后一句话。）

(After getting the intel, I head to the rendezvous point we agreed on.)（拿到了线索，我来到了和莱娅约定好的碰头地点。）

(I hear a sound from the bushes on my left. I turn toward it.)（左边的草丛中传来声响，我朝着声源处看去。）

CommanderLeva?莱娅？

(My right shoulder gets tapped from behind.)（右肩却被从背后轻轻点了点。）

(When I turn, Leva's voice comes from the left.)（在我看向右侧的时候，莱娅的声音从左边传来。）

LevaBoo~哇~

CommanderSheesh, Leva... Why are you so quiet when you walk?嘶，莱娅……你怎么走路没声音的。

LevaBecause I wanted to see your surprised face~因为我想看指挥官吓一跳的样子~

LevaSo? Got the intel?怎么样，成功拿到线索了吧？

CommanderOf course.当然。

(I raise the microchip in my hand.)（我扬了扬手中的微型芯片。）

LevaYou completed two separate tasks while under the guise of dancing. That's some seriously impressive adaptability, Commander.借由跳舞的动作一下子解决了两个问题，指挥官的应变能力真的很强呢。

CommanderIt's all thanks to your EW maneuver. We succeeded because of both of us.这一切也是基于你的电子战能力的，能够顺利完成，是我们二人共同的功劳。

LevaI know~我知道~

(Leva looks happier than usual.)（莱娅的心情看上去比往常都要好。）

LevaAs expected, we're a perfect team. Totally in sync.果然，我和指挥官配合默契、亲密无间。

LevaAah~ Maybe I should quit working for Kalin and just go freelance with you, Commander?啊啊~不然不做格琳那边的任务了，跟指挥官双飞接单吧？

(I flick Leva's forehead.)（我戳了戳莱娅的额头。）

CommanderThere you go again, saying things you know won't happen.又在故意胡说一些明知道不可能的事。

CommanderYou can't let go of your family, and you know it.你明明比任何人都无法放下家人。

LevaSigh... I was just thinking how nice it was to be so close to you, Commander, but now I realize how scary it is that someone knows me this well.唉……上一秒刚觉得和指挥官亲密无间挺好的，但现在感觉有个人能如此清楚地知道我的想法，有时候还是一件有点可怕的事哦。

CommanderThat's what "family" is, isn't it?这不就是“家人”吗？

CommanderIt's all about deep understanding, but sometimes that closeness can be intimidating.亲密默契，但有时候也会害怕太过亲密。

LevaHm... But family isn't always so in sync.嗯……家人不一定会有这种默契度。

LevaMaybe... I'm something more to you, or you're something more to me—说不定，我对于指挥官，或者指挥官对我，都是更加特殊的存在——

(Leva doesn't finish her thought, because she's interrupted by fireworks going off nearby.)（莱娅没有继续说下去，因为被不远处的烟花声打断了。）

(Spectacular fireworks bloom in the night sky. Specks of light trickle down like rain. A scene of extravagance unique to White Zones.)（绚烂的烟花在夜空中绽放，光点如雨点般落下，这是专属于白区的奢华景象。）

(We both stare up wordlessly at the fireworks for a while.)（我们盯着漫天的烟花看了一会儿，谁都没有出声。）

LevaLet's head back.回去吧。

LevaI need to get this intel to Kalin fast, so we can move on to the next step...线索我得快点转交给格琳，推进下一步行动……

(Leva turns, but freezes in place.)（莱娅转过了身，却愣在原地。）

LevaCommander... what are you doing?指挥官……你这是？

(I hold out a hand in invitation.)（我的手伸向了莱娅，做着邀请的动作。）

CommanderYou went to the trouble of putting on makeup, and here we are at this fancy place... I'd like to finish that dance we started.难得化了妆，还来了这么高档的地方，我想和莱娅把刚刚那支舞跳完。

Leva...……

LevaCommander, did you have a sudden epiphany or something?指挥官，突然开窍了的感觉？

(I'm not sure I did.)（开不开窍，我不知道。）

(I just saw Leva's face illuminated by fireworks and suddenly wanted to do it.)（只是刚刚看着莱娅被烟花照亮的脸庞，我突然就想这么做。）

CommanderSo may I have this dance?莱娅愿意吗？

LevaOf course.当然。

(Leva places her hand in mine, her lips curling into a smile.)（莱娅将手放在了我的手中，弯了弯唇角。）

(It's a pure smile—not sly, not mocking, no tactics or games. Just joy and trust.)（那是一个纯粹的笑容，没有狡黠与调侃，无关博弈与追逐，只有纯粹的开心与信任。）

(That moment—Leva, and the dance we share under the fireworks—stays with me for a long, long time.)（那一刻的莱娅，连同那场在烟花之下的舞步，让我记了很久。）

Covenant 铭契

LevaSee, Commander? Games are fun.指挥官，博弈很有趣吧？

LevaWe probe and test each other, bare our claws—yet sometimes we also show our sincerity, and comfort each other.互相试探、摸索、亮出利爪，但偶尔也会流露出真心、相互抚慰。

LevaWe yearn to possess one another, and at the same time to outwit one another. In sync, yet in conflict.期待拥有彼此，又期待战胜彼此，合拍又矛盾。

LevaPersonally, I'm more interested in the story that unfolds after the game, but I only want such a story with you. What about you?对于我来说，我更喜欢博弈之后的故事，这样的故事我也只愿意与你发生，你呢？

Compassionate Trap 温柔陷阱

(After a day on the job, I ask Leva about her name.)（一天任务结束之后，我和莱娅聊起了她的名字。）

LevaMy name?这个名字？

LevaHm... I found it in the URNC's Female Name Registry back in the day. It's spelled somewhat similarly to "Lenna", which makes us sound like sisters. So I settled on it just like that~唔……是当初在《罗联常用女名手册》中查到的，拼写上和“莱娜”很像，比较有家人的感觉，所以就这么轻松愉快地决定啦~

CommanderLeva... It also means "lion", doesn't it?“莱娅”我记得应该有“狮子”的意思吧？

LevaIt does, and it sounds pretty majestic.确实，感觉也挺威风的。

LevaIf someone crosses me, I'll just—如果有谁惹到我，我就——

(Leva raises her hands and makes a pouncing gesture.)（莱娅举起手，做了一个向前扑的动作。）

LevaThen I'll gobble them up, leaving no bones behind~然后把那个人吃到骨头都不剩哦~

(She's so cute.)（真可爱啊。）

CommanderActually... you strike me more as a fox than a lion.不过……比起狮子，我时常感觉莱娅更像狐狸。

LevaAre you saying I'm devious? Haha~这是在说我狡猾吗？哈哈~

CommanderDevious, huh... That feels like such a human and subjective description.“狡猾”什么的……感觉是人类的主观想法。

CommanderI just think you're smart. Sometimes TOO smart for a Doll.我只是纯粹觉得莱娅很聪明，有时候聪明得有点不像人形了。

LevaYou're smart too, Commander~指挥官也很聪明啊~

CommanderBut when I talk to you, I always somehow get led around by the nose, and before I know it—bam! I fall into a pit you dug 180 years ago...但和你说话的时候，总是不知不觉被你绕进去，一不小心就会踩到你一百八十年前挖的坑……

LevaIf it's a pit made just for you, I'll make it comfy~如果是专属于指挥官的坑，我会布置得很舒服哟~

CommanderWhat?啊？

LevaI'll line it with cushions, decorate it with fairy lights, serve food and wine... And I'll be in the pit with you too~会放上软垫，点亮彩灯，布置好美食与美酒，连我——也会在这个坑里陪着指挥官哦~

LevaHow's that? Doesn't falling into it sound... kinda nice now?怎么样？是不是觉得踩到坑也变得美好起来了呢？

CommanderOnly you could make a loss sound that appealing.能把赔本买卖说得那么清奇的……也只有你了吧。

LevaThanks for the compliment~多谢夸奖~

Food Tasting 1 美食品尝1

The first taste astounds, immediately awakening slumbering taste buds.入口的惊艳，瞬间唤醒沉睡的味蕾。

CommanderEvery mouthful tastes like bliss.每一口都是幸福的味道。

LevaWhat're we gonna have a chat about? I can't wait.想要和我谈什么？我很期待哦。

About Colors关于颜色

About Reading关于阅读

About her Accessories关于装饰

About Movies关于电影

About 404关于404

About the Past关于往事

CommanderWhich colors do you like?你有什么喜欢的颜色吗？

LevaHm~ I've never really thought about it. But if you want to give me a gift, then I'd be happy no matter what color it was.嗯~没想过呢，但如果指挥官想送我礼物，不管什么颜色的我都喜欢。

Commander...How did you know I was going to give you a present?……你怎么知道我要送你东西？

LevaPeople usually ask that question because they're going to give someone something. To be exact, I've already analyzed your speech patterns, so it was easy enough to figure out.这么问的时候通常都是为了送东西，更别说我有对指挥官语言逻辑的分析记录，很容易就能猜到。

LevaPerhaps those abandoned settlements in the Yellow Zone will become proper archeological relics in a few centuries.或许再过几百年，黄区的那些废弃居住点都会变成考古遗迹吧。

CommanderHave you been studying archeology recently?最近在研究考古学？

LevaI've been reading a few books for leisure. I ended up learning quite a bit.稍微看了点书当做消遣，了解到不少事情。

LevaWhen I see ruins, I wonder what happened there before. I think I'm beginning to understand the archeologist mindset now.看到废墟，就会好奇那里曾发生过什么。考古学家的这种心情，我似乎有点理解。

CommanderIs it just me, or do you have more accessories on your outfit than before?你衣服上的装饰物件是不是比之前更多了？

LevaLenna gave them to me. I refused, but she shoved them onto me anyway.都是莱娜送给我的，就算我说不要，她也会硬塞过来。

CommanderActually, she gave me something similar in the past.实际上，她也给了我类似的东西。

LevaOh my~ Just like the one I have. It's like we're a couple~ Want to wear it outside with me, Commander?哎呀~和我身上的一样，就像一对情侣的装饰呢~我们要一起带着出门吗，指挥官？

CommanderHave you watched any movies recently?你最近有看什么电影吗？

LevaI saw a disaster movie called 2086. It's very good.有部灾难片叫世界末日2086，推荐给指挥官。

Commander...Isn't that year fast approaching?……那不就快到了吗？

LevaWell, it's a very old movie. That said, the events in it seem quite plausible. I wonder if they'll actually come to pass.实际上它是很久以前的电影，只不过确实拍得像预言一样，不知道会不会真的有灾难发生。

CommanderLooks like 404 has new members now.现在的404小队增加了新成员呢。

LevaWell, no matter how 404 develops, our relationship with you won't change, Commander.404再怎么发展，和指挥官的关系都不会变淡。

CommanderYou've been helping them all this time too, haven't you?你也一直在帮助她们吧。

LevaI just want everyone to be able to live better. To me, the members of 404 are like my family... Of course, you're part of the family too.我只希望大家能过得更好，对我来说，404的成员就是家人……当然，指挥官也是我的家人之一。

CommanderSince the first time we fought together, it's been about ten years since then...离我们第一次在一起战斗，已经过了快十年了……

LevaLooks like you've reached that age when you're given to nostalgia. Don't worry, I'll remember what happened back then no matter how much time passes.看来指挥官也到怀旧的年龄了，别担心，不管过去多久，当初的事我都记得很清楚。

CommanderThat's actually what I'm worried about. Sometimes, it's better to forget certain things.这才是我担心的，有时候，忘掉一些事反而比较好。

Leva...Still, it's precisely because I can't forget those things that I've managed to hang on until now and reunite with you... My promise with 40 will come true someday.……但正因为忘不掉，我才能坚持到现在，和你重逢……与40的约定，总有一天会实现的。

The wafting aroma enchants, carrying away every trace of my weariness.扑鼻的芬芳，顷刻带走满身的疲惫。

The flavors blooming upon my tongue delight, filling my body with warmth and happiness.舌尖的绽放，幸福的暖意随即拥抱全身。

MakiattoMakiatto: What are you talking about? It took me—玛绮朵：说什么呢！我可是准备了——

KlukaiKlukai: You're clearly not taking us seriously if you're only focusing on the cake.可露凯：只注意到蛋糕的话，未免太小看我们了。

SoppoSoppo: Yeah! How about my entrance? It was cool, right?索普：没错！还有我的出场方式！够特别吧！

CheyanneCheyanne: So, what wish did you make, Commander?夏安：所以，指挥官刚刚许了什么愿？

SoppoSoppo: Woohoo! Time to cut the cake!索普：好耶！分蛋糕咯！

Unchanging Answer Ⅰ 不变的回答·Ⅰ

LevaSorry to keep you waiting, taking care of business took longer than expected.抱歉，委托花费的时间比预计要多，抱歉让你久等了。

CommanderIt must have been a real slog. Still, if work was that tiring, we can always do this some other time.辛苦你了，莱娅。不过要是委托很累的话，其实我们可以改日再玩。

CommanderGet some rest, relax a bit, recharge a little.你可以先好好休息，给自己充个电什么的放松一下。

LevaThat's exactly what I'm doing. Hanging out with you is the best way to relax and recharge.这就是我现在在做的事啊。待在你的身边，就是最好的放松充电。

LevaOr are you saying you won't let me, Commander? Boohoohoo, you have wounded my delicate maiden's soul...难道说，指挥官不是这么认为的吗？呜呜呜，这我可要伤心了……

CommanderFine, fine, you're such a drama queen. Anyway, back on topic; what kind of games are we going to play?好啦好啦，演技有点浮夸过头了。回到正题，你准备玩哪一款游戏？

LevaAw, you're cute when you don't fall for it. Still, it's a bit of a shame we couldn't play out the whole bantering part first. Could it be you've already seen right through me, Commander?哎呀，不上套的指挥官也挺可爱的，虽然没看到预期的发展有点可惜就是了，难道指挥官已经看透了我？

LevaSo that means we're like an old married couple, then!这就是说，我和指挥官已经是老夫老妻的关系了吧！

LevaAnyway, as for the video games, I'd like to play this one. I like these interactive movie games, plus it's a cult classic so not many people have played it.游戏的话，我想玩这个，这个互动式电影类游戏我还挺中意的，而且是超小众的作品，玩过的人都很少。

LevaIt's set in a lawless city of wickedness, exploring the struggles of two rival Dolls who are the leaders of their respective gangs and how they handle the judgement of destiny.游戏舞台是一座无法无天的罪恶都市，探讨了两个身为帮派头目而彼此厮杀的人形，在经历过一系列抉择之后，如何面对命运审判的故事。

LevaUnfortunately, the game didn't get much development due to market forces, but the basic premise is still pretty good.虽然碍于商业需求浅尝辄止，但作品的立意还是挺不错的。

LevaCommander, don't you think the two of them resemble us a fair bit? What kind of relationship do we have?指挥官，你觉得这两个人是不是和我们有点像……我们之间应该是怎样的关系？

CommanderAbout that... Leva, I think...这一点嘛……莱娅，我觉得……

LevaAw, don't go all serious on me, I was just asking out of curiosity. I don't need the answer right away.别那么一脸严肃的样子，我也只是好奇问了下，并不急于知道答案。

LevaThe truth is, I was drawn in 10 years ago... by your feelings and your true nature.实际上，指挥官的心情，还有你这个人的本质，我在十年前就已经知道了……迷上了。

LevaAs for your answer to that question just now... I think it can wait until we've finished the game.至于刚才问题的回答，还是等到我们通关游戏后再告诉我吧。

LevaSo, what color controller do you prefer? White? Black, perhaps? Or maybe the gray one that I made for you with all my love?指挥官喜欢哪个颜色的手柄？白色的？黑色的？还是我专门为你制作的，爱的灰色手柄呢？

CommanderFrom what I know of you, there's probably no third option... I'll just go with plain white.以我对你的了解根本就不存在第三个选项吧……普通的白色就好。

LevaI was just trying to spice things up a little, Commander. Well, if you don't appreciate it, then never mind.这不是想在对话中添加一些小情调嘛，指挥官不领情就算了。

(As Leva hands me the controller, a strand of her grayish-white hair grazes my cheek.)（莱娅将手柄递给我的时候突然凑到耳边，灰白的发丝轻柔地扫过我的脸颊。）

LevaStill, what if I told you it actually existed?如果我告诉你真的有的话，你该怎么办？

CommanderThen I'd pick it, of course. That way, I'd get to see you blush, right?那自然是选择它了，那样就可以看到莱娅脸红的模样了吧？

LevaW-Well done, Commander. Looks like our time apart hasn't diminished how in sync we are.不，不愧是指挥官，看来我们之间的默契并没有因为距离而减少啊。

LevaAlright, pick up your controller. Enjoy this story of two Dolls who want to leave wickedness behind them in search of peace, but who keep getting drawn back in by the flow of the times.来吧，拿好手柄，准备好享受想要远离罪恶寻求和平，又不得不随波逐流共沉沦的这一对人形之间的故事吧。

LevaSince there aren't many characters in the game, you'll be playing a Doll in this story. You don't mind, right?因为登场角色限定，在这个故事中，指挥官将选择扮演人形哦？

CommanderNow this is interesting. If I were a Doll... let's see just how far I can go with you, Leva.有点意思，就让我看看，如果我是人形的话……和莱娅能一起走到多远吧。

LevaPlease look forward to it, then... I guarantee you won't be disappointed by the story.那就请你敬请期待好了……我保证，故事不会让你感到无趣的。

Unchanging Answer Ⅱ 不变的回答·Ⅱ

(Leva hits the pause button halfway through the story and suggests we take a break.)（故事来到1/2的时候莱娅摁下了暂停，向我提出了休息的建议。）

LevaThe game felt more fun than I expected. Was it because I was playing with you?游玩的体验比预想的要好啊，果然是因为和指挥官你一起玩的原因？

CommanderQuit messing with me... Still, the story was more interesting than I thought it would be.就别拿这点来调侃我了……不过确实，剧情比预想的要有趣。

LevaYup, there were lots of fun moments while we were playing.嗯。在游玩过程中，有很多让人觉得有趣的地方。

LevaFor instance, during the gangster assassination mission, I can't believe you actually abandoned it just to avoid hurting an innocent Doll.比如说去刺杀黑帮头目的剧情里，指挥官你果然会为了避免误伤无辜的人形放弃掉任务的执行。

LevaWhile it's very much in keeping with your way of doing things, that doesn't seem like what a Doll would choose, you know?虽然很有指挥官的风格，但这种行为选择可看起来一点也不像是人形啊？

CommanderClearing missions isn't a win condition in this game, so it should be fine, right?这个游戏中达成任务并不是胜利条件，所以这样也没什么吧？

LevaThat's why I said you're not a Doll, Commander... Still, that's pretty fun too.所以说指挥官你并不是人形……不过，这也挺有意思呢。

LevaThe game universe is like ours. Memories can be freely uploaded and downloaded, and so the concept of death doesn't truly exist. Therefore, a true Doll would operate based on that assumption.游戏中的设定和我们一样，记忆可以自由上传和下载，因此不存在死亡的说法，真正的人形是会以此为基础行动的。

CommanderHowever, I know that when Dolls load up a neural cloud backup, they lose part of their memories. Ethically, this is a significant issue.我可是很清楚，人形启用备份心智时，会失去一部分记忆，在伦理上这可不是什么无关紧要的事。

CommanderI think it's a trap set by the game. If you don't care about other Dolls, how can you break free of this world of darkness and find your own freedom?我感觉这是游戏挖的陷阱，如果对其他人形不屑一顾，又怎么会有想要脱离罪恶世界，追寻自由的想法？

LevaMost perceptive, Commander. Say, are you always so tense when you play games? Shouldn't you relax a little?还真是敏锐啊，指挥官。我说，你玩游戏的时候也那么紧绷神经，不考虑放松下吗？

LevaJust be like me and roleplay a free-spirited Doll in the game.就像我一样，在游戏里面扮演个随心所欲的家伙就好。

LevaPunish Dolls who fail their missions, gun down Dolls who defy me... After all, the mission is the top priority.遇到行动失败的人形就予以处罚，遇到忤逆我的人形就开枪销毁……反正以任务为第一优先级。

CommanderThat's a pretty efficient way of doing things, but it doesn't seem to suit you.这也是一种很有效率的思考方式，不过我觉得并不怎么适合莱娅。

LevaWell, it is a game, after all, so we just have to do as the game tells us. You're the one who's being too straitlaced, Commander. I mean, this is a gangster story. Even if you're planning to leave why not just...毕竟是游戏啊，按照里面的引导来就是如此，是指挥官你太压抑自己了，说到底，这也是个黑帮的题材，就算要脱离，之前放纵一下也……

LevaEhhhh? What's going on? They're all ganging up on me even though I...咦咦咦？怎么回事……光是这样居然就被包围了……

LevaHuh, is it me or do these events look kind of familiar.哎呀，怎么感觉这个剧情好像有点眼熟啊？

CommanderYou went too loud and all the other gangs decided to go after you. According to the game guide, you're going to be attacked by them in the next scene, so think of how to escape with your people.因为你太高调了，引起其他帮派的仇视。按照游戏的指引，下一幕就是要遭遇敌人的袭击了吧，想尽办法带领手下突围了吧。

LevaWell, isn't that a pain... Here, take my controller. We'll swap characters.那还真是令人头疼……来，手柄给你，我们来互换角色吧。

Commander...Hold on a minute. You brought this on yourself, didn't you?……你给我等一下，这不是你自己选择的道路吗？

LevaBut we're both the MCs of this game, right? I simply chose the most effective plan that had the highest likelihood of success.我们两个都是这个游戏的主角吧？我只不过是选了个效率最高，最有可能执行的方案而已。

LevaYou're a better leader than me, so you should be able to get a better clear reward in this stage.比起我，指挥官的指挥能力更出色，在这一关里也能拿到更好的奖励。

LevaMake use of all the resources at hand to achieve your objective... Isn't that the usual reasoning used by Doll logic systems?合理利用手边可用的一切资源以实现自己的目的……这是人形的逻辑系统常用的推导方式哦？

CommanderThat's true... Alright, then, since you're asking, I'll try to do better next time.确实如此……那好吧，既然是莱娅的委托，那我争取下一场打得漂亮一些。

LevaWell, according to the guide, there's pretty much no hope at this point. Still, let's see just how much you can do and how many of your people you can save.按照游戏的说明，基本上没希望了吧。不过，就让我看看指挥官能做到什么程度，又能救下多少手下吧。

LevaI'm looking forward to how you'll do, Commander. Show me your skills once again.我很期待你的表演，指挥官。就让我再次见识下你的能力吧。

Unchanging Answer Ⅲ 不变的回答·Ⅲ

CommanderYou're right, there's no way to win. Sorry, Leva, I only managed to preserve 70% of my people in the end... Leva?确实是没办法获胜啊，抱歉莱娅，我最后只保留下来了70%的战斗力……莱娅？

Leva...Were you talking to me, Commander? Sorry, I was taking a transmission related to a mission and I got distracted.……你叫我吗指挥官？我刚刚处理委托相关的通讯去了，稍微走了下神。

LevaYou protected that many Dolls? Well done. Better than I expected, in fact.你保护了那么多的人形吗？挺不错的，甚至比我预想的还好。

LevaRight, let's change characters back and carry on with the game.指挥官，现在把身份换回来继续游戏吧。

CommanderAre you busy with work? Do you want to pause for a while and continue later?工作上的事情，很忙吗？需要先暂停一下之后再玩吗？

LevaA little, but I've already asked Klukai to handle it and Lenna will be handling the comms work.确实有一点，不过我已经拜托可露凯去处理了，通讯的工作也委托给了莱娜。

Leva404 is different from how it used to be. They can handle missions flawlessly even without me stepping in.现在404小队已经和之前不同，即使我没有参与，她们也可以完美地将任务执行好。

LevaAs for you, Commander... are things alright on your end? If I'm not wrong, you ought to have been handling a commission around now... Did you turn it down?倒是指挥官那边没事吗？我记得你这个时候应该要处理委托的……是推掉了吗？

CommanderI wouldn't say I turned it down, just adjusted my schedule.谈不上推掉委托，只是调整了日程表而已。

CommanderAfter all, we hardly ever get the chance to hang out like this, just the two of us, and I didn't want to ruin your fun.毕竟难得有机会让我们两个像这样聚在一起，我不想扫兴。

Leva...……

LevaYou've gotten good at sweet-talking people, Commander.还真是变得会说话了啊，指挥官。

(Leva leans her head against me and hands me the controller.)（莱娅把头靠在我的身上，重新将手柄递给我。）

LevaIn that case, let's keep playing our game.那样的话，就继续来进行我们之间的游戏吧。

LevaIn the upcoming mission, my character realizes the Doll you're playing is always protecting and caring for me—and that's why I fall for you. Meanwhile, your character realizes that you've begun developing feelings for me because we're always together.接下来的剧情里，我将意识到指挥官你所扮演的人形总是保护、照顾着我，因而喜欢上你；而你也会在和我的相处中产生情感的萌芽，察觉到这一股悸动。

LevaBut in the end, the story will challenge them with differences of morals and separation... So what will you choose, Commander?可最后剧本会让他们两个面临道德和离别的问题……指挥官，到时你会如何做出选择？

CommanderWow, thanks for spoiling the entire plot...怎么一上来就把后续的剧情给剧透了啊……

LevaPlaying while thinking about questions is fun too, isn't it?带着问题思考着去玩也是一种乐趣啊，不是吗？

LevaCommander, we'll be leaving the city now. Turn right at the next corner.指挥官，现在要撤离这座城市了，下个路口往右边拐。

CommanderAlright... Wait a minute, why are there so many enemy gangsters waiting for us? Is this an ambush?好的……等等，怎么前面那么多敌对帮派的打手？是在埋伏我吗？

LevaYup. I specially chose a "fun" route. That way, I'll have more room to show off and rescue you just in the nick of time, so I can grow your affection for me in the story more quickly.对啊，我特地选了个“有趣”的路线，这样我也可以更加活跃，及时来救你，让剧情里的你更快加速对我的好感。

LevaIf I'm not wrong, I believe it's known as the "suspension bridge effect" in psychology?我记得心理学上，这种情感叫作吊桥效应？

CommanderThis isn't the time to be discussing that sort of thing or talking about how you're going to mess with me! Leva, hurry up and help me!现在可不是讨论和使坏的时候啊！莱娅，快点来救我！

LevaOh my, I think I felt my heart skip a beat just now. Say it again, Commander~这还真是让人心动的话语啊，指挥官，你可以再多说几遍吗~

CommanderI'll say it as many times as you want after this! Just save me already! I don't want to die halfway and have to do this stage all over again!让我之后重复几遍都行！快点来救我，我不想打了一半的时候game over重来一遍啊！

LevaSto arrivando, tesoro, aspettami~! Coming, darling!Sto arrivando, tesoro, aspettami~！来咯，亲爱的！

(After having fun playing together for a while...)（持续了一段时间的愉快游戏节奏后。）

LevaWe're almost at the end of the story, Commander.游戏的剧情已经来到尾声了啊，指挥官。

LevaNow we're at the game's signature scene. It's where the pair, having gone through great dangers together, reveal their feelings to each other amidst gunfire—and make their final decision.接下来就是游戏中的名场面，生死与共的二人在炮火中互相吐露心意，最后做出选择。

LevaCommander, have you decided yet? Will you elope with me, throw everything away and start afresh...指挥官，你想好了吗？是要和我私奔，抛弃一切从头开始……

LevaOr will you part ways with me and continue enjoying the sweet fruits of sin, enriching yourself in a gilded metropolis?还是与我分别，继续为了利益而在纸醉金迷的大都会中享受罪恶的甜美呢？

CommanderI told you before, didn't I? I'd already made my decision before the game started. But I'm sorry, Leva.我不是早就说过了吗？在游戏开始前我就已经想好了答案，不过，很抱歉，莱娅。

Leva...!……！

CommanderThat wasn't the answer you were expecting, was it, Miss Developer?这不是你所期待的答案呢，“开发者”大人。

Leva...So you knew, Commander.……原来你都知道啦，指挥官，

Unchanging Answer Ⅳ 不变的回答·Ⅳ

LevaCommander, when did you find out I was the developer...指挥官，你是什么时候知道我是开发者的……

CommanderJust how well do you think I know you, anyway?你以为我对你有多了解啊。

CommanderThe characters' lines, their actions, and even the layout of the items all had traces of you on them.从游戏里的人们的台词、举止还有物品摆设的方式来看，都有着莱娅你的影子。

LevaWow, you're amazing, Commander... Then... I'm sure you know why I wanted to play this game with you, right?指挥官真是厉害……那么，你一定也知道了，为什么……我会想要和指挥官一起进行这款游戏了吧？

CommanderI'm sorry, Leva.对不起，莱娅。

Leva...……

LevaWhat? Why are you apologizing? You do know that's breaking the rules, right?那个什么，你为什么要道歉啊，这样犯规了哦？

LevaYou know I'm not here for this...不带这样的……我不是为了这个……

CommanderBecause I didn't leave with you.因为我没有和你走。

CommanderThis is a bad ending, right?这是坏结局吧?

(In the end, my Doll sent Leva's Doll away and ended up becoming the sole ruler of the city of sin... standing above everyone, but accompanied by no-one.)（最终在故事里，我所扮演的人形送走了莱娅的人形，独自君临了这座罪恶的城市……支配了一切，但是也无比的孤独。）

LevaI'm talking about the path you chose, Commander.那就是指挥官所选择的道路。

LevaAnd I know that you didn't do it just to enrich yourself. After all, that was the only way you could protect the other Dolls, right?而且，我知道的，理由并不是为了所谓的利益，因为只有这样，指挥官你才可以继续保护其他的人形吧？

LevaEven if everyone else thought you did it for money, Dolls don't need such pleasures, I know...即使在所有其他人眼中这都是为了金钱，但人形才不会需要那种享乐，我都知道……

Leva...Commander... This ending...……指挥官……这个结局……

CommanderI'm sorry I disapp—抱歉，让你失——

LevaIs the best possible one.是最好的结局。

CommanderEh?咦？

LevaTadaaaaaah—!锵锵锵——！

CommanderWha—什——

LevaAfter being chased out of the city by you, I learned my lesson and gathered a huge army together to wipe out all the gangs in the city of sin, then kidnapped your Doll so she could marry him!被指挥官赶出城市后的我痛定思痛，联系了大军杀回罪恶都市铲除了所有的帮派，再把指挥官的人形绑去结婚喽！

CommanderWhat kind of deus ex machina is that? Does that even make sense?等一下这也太机械降神了吧！？这真的合理吗！？

LevaThat's because my character is actually the First Princess of the Doll Community... Makes perfect sense for her to have a corps of Doll knights at her disposal, right?因为我的角色其实是人形社区的长公主啊……有十万忠诚的人形骑士大军也很合理吧？

CommanderYou know, I read the game guide and I didn't see anything about this in there! Don't you think you owe me an apology?你对仔细阅读了游戏说明也没有找到这段的我先道个歉好吗？

LevaAnd that is my answer.这是我的答案。

Commander...!……！

LevaNo matter how deeply you sink into the darkness, no matter how much of a burden you must bear, I won't let you do it alone.不管你沉沦得多深，不管你要背负多少，我都不会允许你一个人。

LevaI'll use everything I have. Doesn't matter if I have to cheat or violate my conscience, I'll come back to you, grab hold of you, and never let you go.动用所有的手段，作弊也好，作恶也罢，我都会回到你的身边，牢牢地抓住你，不让你从我的怀中溜走。

LevaBecause you are mine, just as I am yours.因为你是我的，正如我是你的一样。

LevaAnd that is the game's true ending. It's also the game's only ending.这，才是这个游戏的真正结局，而且，也是唯一的结局。

CommanderSo that's what you wanted to say. Still, was there a need to develop a game just to set it up?原来你只是想说这句话……但是，为此要专门开发一个这样的游戏吗？

LevaWell, I WAS interested in the genre. More importantly... I mix lies in with the truth, so I didn't know how best to fully convince you.毕竟我也很有兴趣嘛，重要的是……平时我说话半真半假，我也不知道能不能让指挥官完全地信服。

CommanderThere's no need for that. I'm confident I can tell the lies from the truth in your words.没那回事，我自信还是分得清莱娅的真话与假话的。

LevaSo you can even do that... I feel really exposed to know that someone's seen through me to that extent, but I don't hate it.这都能做到啊……被人看穿的感觉还真是露骨，但我并不讨厌。

(Leva stands up and slowly hugs me as a cunning smile spreads across her face.)（莱娅贴了上来，缓缓拥抱我的同时脸上露出狡黠的笑容。）

LevaThere's never a dull moment around you, is there?果然，无论什么时候你都不会让我感到无聊啊。

LevaNow then, what kind of reward shall I give to the Commander who's come all this way and kept me company through my games and shenanigans?那么，对于一路辛苦到这，陪我演戏和玩耍的指挥官，我是不是也要适当给予奖励呢？

LevaSince our bond of love has already been established in the game... Why don't we try doing the same in real life too?在游戏里我们已经情定终生了……要不要在这边也模仿一下？

CommanderDon't you think copying the game is too much? Besides, we...再怎么说模仿游戏也太过分了吧？而且，我们……

LevaWell, since you're abstaining, then I'll choose for you.既然指挥官你退缩了，那就让我来替你做出选择吧。

(Leva hugs me gently and presses my head into her chest.)（莱娅温柔地抱住了我，将我的头埋进她的怀抱里。）

LevaPlease take the health of your nose into consideration before you say anything that might ruin the mood, hm?为了你的鼻子考虑，现在可不要说什么令人扫兴的话哦？

Commander—Alright, we'll do it your way for once. Besides, the game was really fun.——就依你这次吧，因为游戏确实很好玩。

LevaMmm, that's a good boy. Now, according to the rest of the story, the two of them retired into obscurity and lived together to a ripe old age.嗯，真听话。按照游戏的发展，两个人之后就是一起隐居到老，与这个世界再无瓜葛了吧。

LevaCommander, have you considered running away with me? Just leaving this all behind and letting me use everything I have to make you happy for the rest of your life?指挥官，有考虑过和我一起私奔吗？抛开这一切，让我用一切的力量来换取你余生最大的幸福？

CommanderThat's a tempting proposition... but I'm sorry. I have other things to do right now.的确是个充满诱惑的选择……但抱歉，现在的我还有事情要做。

LevaSo it's the same answer as in the game. In that case, you should know my answer too, right?和游戏里一样的答案呢，那么，我的回答，你也知道了吧？

Leva—Don't think you can get rid of me, amore mio.——别想，甩开我哦，Amore mio。

LevaLeva: Alright then, I want a basket full of fresh flowers.莱娅：好吧，那么我要一整篮的鲜花哦。

LevaLeva: I see, so you want to become the most dazzling thing in the park, then?莱娅：原来，指挥官是想成为公园里最耀眼的风景吗？

Commander{}: Not me. Us.{}：不是我，是我们。

LevaLeva: While I'm a little hesitant about this... It should make for a very special memory.莱娅：我有点想拒绝呢……但，应该会是很特别的回忆。

LevaLeva: Alright then, let's go change the wheels~莱娅：那么，我们来换车轮吧~

Special Scene 1 特殊剧情1

Commander莱娅，你发消息让我来活力区，是有什么事吗？

Leva哎呀~指挥官忘了吗？

Leva为了这次的运动挑战，艾莫号新到了一批健身器材，正等着你来检查呢。

Commander嗯？我记得我已经看过一遍了吧？

Commander有测力器、跑步机，还有卧推床……

Leva只是“看看”而已，不亲自试下吗？指挥官最近一直坐在指挥室里，缺乏锻炼可不行哦~

Commander莱娅的意思……是想让我也加入挑战？

Faelynn是的，主人！来和我们一起锻炼吧！

Faelynn芙铃还有大家——都很想与您一决胜负呢！

LevaLet me see, just what did you end up making, Commander?让我来看看，指挥官最后做了什么菜？

LevaSo you chose this dish... What an interesting choice~是这道呀……很有趣的选择呢~

CommanderI just happened to feel like having this. I did my best.恰好想吃这道菜就做了，我尽力了。

LevaMm, it's very well done, considering your skill level~嗯，以指挥官的水平来说，算是相当不错了哦~

CommanderSpeaking of which, this is supposed to be a gathering, so why are you the only one here?话说回来，既然是聚餐，为什么现在只看到你？

CommanderActually, now that I think about it, there's no gathering scheduled for today, is there?而且我回想了一下，今天好像没有什么聚餐的约定吧？

LevaOopsie, I guess I've been found out♪哎呀，被发现了么♪

LevaI was worried that you'd reject me if I said I just wanted to have dinner with you, Commander.我担心，只有我想和指挥官一起吃饭的话，说不定会被推辞呢。

CommanderIs that how you see me in your heart...我在你心里的形象是这样的吗……

LevaOr rather, I think we all know your time is very precious, don't we, Commander?不如说，指挥官的时间很难抢，已经算是共识了吧？

LevaI wanted to spend some time with you, so I played a little trick. You dont mind, do you?我想和你待在一起……所以稍微花了点心思，指挥官应该不介意吧？

CommanderWhat will I do with you...真拿你没办法……

LevaWhat do you think, Commander?指挥官觉得怎么样？

CommanderHm, it's an improvement over your previous try... Looks like you've focused on improving your cooking skills recently.唔，比起以前有进步……看起来你近期有专门提升烹饪技术嘛。

LevaYou think it was just my cooking skills? I think you're making light of me, Commander.只有烹饪技术吗？指挥官未免有些小瞧我了。

Commander..."Please proceed to the deck to collect Leva's special gift for you?"……“请前往甲板，领取莱娅为你准备的专属礼物”？

LevaOh my, you're so lucky, Commander♪哎呀，指挥官真是幸运呢♪

LevaApart from the special memories of having dinner with me, you've got a souvenir too. Surely this will help preserve this memory for longer, no?除了共进晚餐的特殊回忆，还有一个纪念品，想必这份回忆会保存得更加长久吧？

LevaWhy don't you guess what this souvenir is?指挥官猜猜，这份纪念礼物，会是什么呢？

LevaIn that case, please take my hand and come with me♪那就请指挥官握住我的手，一起来吧♪

LevaI promise you won't be disappointed~我保证，不会让您失望的~

Affinity Records 契合度记录

Record 1Formerly designated UMP45, Leva was the original leader of H.I.D.E. 404. Gentle and friendly in demeanor, her sharp and calculating mind is well hidden behind a perfectly measured smile. If you happen to see through it—sorry, that's on purpose. While she is still a member of H.I.D.E. 404 in name, Leva has shifted her focus to the Non-Military Forces Administration, assisting Kalina with matters that can't be handled openly. With the squad's long-term future in mind, Leva passed the position of squad leader to Klukai and has since actively contributed to building up the new H.I.D.E. 404. She may seem distant, but when she's needed, Leva is always there. "Isn't that what family's for~?"原代号UMP45, 原H.I.D.E. 404初代队长。性格温和，待人亲切，缜密精明的心思被她嘴角一抹得体的微笑掩盖得很好，如果被你看出来了，不好意思，她是故意的。 名义上还是404小队的成员，但莱娅目前已经将工作重心转移到了非军事力量管理局，协助格琳娜解决一些不能直接摆在台面上的工作。 出于对小队长远发展的考量，莱娅将队长的位置交给了可露凯，并积极地为新的404小队添砖加瓦。 看似游离，但在需要的时候，莱娅始终在那里。 “家人，不就是这样的吗~？”

Record 2Leva's name carries the meaning of "lion", but if you randomly ask anyone who has dealt with her, they'll all say the same thing: Leva is much more like a fox than a lion. Shrewd. Cunning. It's as if she has X-ray vision with how she can see right through you. When Leva hears such descriptions, she simply smiles and says, "You're giving me too much credit." But she wasn't always like this. Back when she was UMP45, fresh out of the factory, people were more likely to compare her to a rabbit—her smile uncertain, a little timid, always huddling close to a certain long-haired Doll, her every movement skittish and jittery. Then the butterfly flapped its wings, and the long-haired Doll was gone. Leva was left to face everything alone: a past unacknowledged, and a future forcibly erased. She learned how to deal with all kinds of humans and Dolls, how to navigate being used and using others. Slowly, she took control of her own fate. Over time, she became what she is now—calm, calculating, unfazed—someone who seems, with every quiet smile and clever word, utterly indifferent to past gains or losses. Only she—and the presence buried deep in her neural cloud—truly know how much she yearns to exact vengeance upon the mastermind who harmed her and her family. But it is not time yet. The lion in her neural cloud must remain in slumber for now. One day, it will bare its fangs. And so Leva waits for that day—with a smile.莱娅的名字有狮子的含义，但只要随机抓住一个和莱娅打过交道的人询问，得到的答案都是比起狮子，莱娅更像是一只狐狸。 精明、狡猾，一双眼睛望过来像X光一样把人里里外外看了个明白。 本人听到这样的评价只是笑了笑说太夸张啦。 从前的莱娅并不是这样，当她还是刚出厂的UMP45的时候，更经常被人形容成一只兔子。 笑容并不自信，有一点胆小，总是紧紧跟在另一个长发人形身边，行为举止有些瑟缩。 后来，蝴蝶扇动翅膀，长发人形消失不见。 莱娅不得不独自面对一切，面对她不被承认的过去和被迫抹除的未来。 她开始学习与各种各样的人类人形打交道，并且在利用与被利用之间学会了掌握自己的命运，然后逐渐变成了现在这样，沉静、精明而不动声色，谈笑之间似乎已然不在意过去的得到与失去。 但只有她和沉淀在她心智底层的那个存在知道，莱娅有多想让伤害过她和她家人的幕后黑手付出代价。 只是现在还不是时候，心智中的那头狮子还必须沉睡。 总会有露出尖锐獠牙的那一天。 莱娅微笑着，等待着那一天。

Record 3Leva enjoys watching disaster films. When she's not handling a commission or on the job, she likes to pick out a disaster film and watch it with UMP40, who resides in her neural cloud. Skyscrapers collapsing in an instant, human civilization reduced to rubble in the face of unstoppable natural or unnatural catastrophes, and a desolate, lifeless landscape left behind—there's something about the total destruction and ensuing silence that brings Leva a deep sense of peace. Mechty once made a jibe about Leva being a scary Doll who looks calm on the outside but harbors a psychotic urge to destroy, to which Leva only smiled sweetly and replied, "You're obsessed with gory zombie flicks—pot calling the kettle black much?" "You must be more stressed than you let on," muses UMP40 from within her neural cloud. "Even though you always seem so composed." "Isn't it normal to occasionally want to tear the Earth to pieces~? Still..." Leva stares at the screen. In the film, people are desperately fleeing from sinking ground. "If a disaster of that scale really strikes, according to my calculations, giving up would probably be the least painful choice." "And yet, at times like that, humans often ignore probability and rational analysis, and throw themselves into the pursuit of something as illusory as 'the hope of survival'." "This strange instinct to survive... is absolutely fascinating."莱娅喜欢看灾难电影。 在没有委托或工作的时候，莱娅会挑选一部灾难电影，和心智中的UMP40一起观看。 在无法违抗的自然或者非自然灾难面前，高楼大厦瞬间倾塌，人类文明化为乌有，所到之处皆是一片萧条、寂寥的景象。 那种摧毁一切、落个清净的感觉让莱娅十分舒服。 米什缇曾吐槽，莱娅这种看似平静内心却有极大破坏欲的人形很可怕，被莱娅笑眯眯地回敬说，她这种喜欢看血腥僵尸片的也好不到哪里去。 “看来压力还是蛮大的嘛？虽然平时表现得游刃有余的。”心智中的UMP40若有所思。 “偶尔想要一拳将地球打爆什么的，不是很常见的想法吗~？不过……” 莱娅盯着屏幕，画面中，人们正在拼命逃离下陷的地面。 “如果真的发生了这种级别的灾难，按照计算，放弃才可能是经历痛苦最少的选择。” “然而，在这种时候，人类往往会无视概率和理性分析，不顾一切地追求一个看似虚无缥缈的‘生的希望’。” “这种奇妙的‘求生本能’，让我觉得很有意思。”

Record 4For some time, Leva notices that Lenna keeps giving her this hesitant, conflicted look, but whenever Leva tries to ask her about it, Lenna quickly finds an excuse and runs off. One day, after chasing her all around the base, Leva finally manages to corner her. "Len~na~ If you don't tell me, how am I supposed to know what's on your mind?" Lenna widens her eyes and looks at Leva with slight grievance. "The badge..." "What?" Leva is a little thrown off by the tangent Lenna has gone off on. "The badge I gave you... Why don't you wear it?!" Only then does Leva remember—Lenna had indeed given her a badge a few days ago, one with a cute smiley face on it. "That's what this is about?" "What do you mean 'that's what this is about'?! I've been agonizing over it for days! I was scared you'd think I'm childish! I wanted to ask but I didn't want to annoy you! It's been so stressful!" Looking at the puffed-up, sulky Lenna, Leva chuckles and pats her head. Then she opens up her jacket. Inside, pinned carefully onto the lining, is the very badge—grinning goofily at Lenna. "That's..." "I was worried it'd get damaged if I wore it on the outside, so I pinned it here." "It's a precious gift from my adorable little sister, after all. Of course I have to keep it safe~"有一段时间，莱娅发现莱娜一直用欲言又止的眼神看着自己，不等她开口询问，莱娜就会找个理由转身跑掉。 终于有一次，莱娅追着莱娜绕了基地一圈，总算是把她堵到了。 “莱~娜~如果不说出来，我可不会知道你在想什么哦？” 莱娜瞪圆了眼睛，有些委屈地望向莱娅。 “徽章……” “什么？” 莱娅一时没有反应过来。 “我送给莱娅姐的徽章……为什么不戴嘛！” 莱娅这才想起来，几天前莱娜的确送给了自己一枚徽章，上面有可爱的笑脸。 “什么呀，就是为了这个吗？” “什么叫‘就是为了这个’！我苦恼了很久诶！又怕莱娅姐觉得我幼稚，想问又怕你觉得我烦，我很苦恼的啦！” 看着气鼓鼓的莱娜，莱娅笑着摸了摸她的头，随后翻开自己的外套。 只见一个徽章别在了外套的内侧，傻乎乎地冲着莱娜笑。 “这是……” “我怕佩戴在外面，容易损坏，所以别在这里。” “毕竟是我可爱的妹妹送的珍贵的礼物，当然要好好保护啦~”

Record 5When Kalina first invited Leva to join the Non-Military Forces Administration, Leva declined. In her eyes, 404 couldn't make do without her. Being part of it meant she could always be there when they needed her, and she could protect her family better. Still, in her spare time, Leva did give some thought to who might be able to take over as squad leader. Lenna was clever and efficient in action, but if Leva were to transfer to the NOMFA, Lenna would surely follow her without hesitation. Mechty... was impossible to imagine in any kind of leadership position. Klukai was probably the most suitable candidate—powerful AND capable, but as an extreme subscriber to the belief that "with great power comes great responsibility", she's too prone to taking on too much herself and shouldering every burden alone... "Hm, they really can't survive without me~" "Is that really the only reason? I sense other thoughts too~" "...As my second computational core, nothing gets past you, huh." And so, Leva continued focusing on managing 404. Outside of work and missions, she rarely interacted or got involved with anyone beyond the squad, let alone made friends. Friends were a risk. A weakness. But there was one exception—a woman named Vera, one of 404's collaborators. Vera's status wasn't prestigious. By day, she was a pianist performing in a high-end White Zone restaurant; by night, she roamed the Green Zone as a magician. Through her jobs, she occasionally passed intel to Leva or handed over reliable commissions. Over time, their similar way of handling matters and mutual respect for personal space nurtured something that resembled friendship. At one point, Vera even used a magic trick to give Leva a photo of her infant child, who had just turned one month old. Leva never admitted out loud that they were friends, but she did discuss with Lenna whether they should buy a gift for Vera's baby. Before they could, tragedy struck. Someone, somehow, took offense at Vera's underground dealings. The last time Leva saw her was in a video. The footage was gruesome. Vera's beautiful, slender hands were bludgeoned until they were nothing but mangled lumps of flesh. In the final shot, Vera's eyes—half-open and dull—stared blankly ahead. Leva tried to track down the perpetrator on her own, but nothing turned up. In desperation, she turned to Kalina for help. While waiting for news, Leva felt a sense of helplessness and powerlessness she hadn't experienced in a long time. Eventually, using the NOMFA's powerful intelligence network, Kalina identified a PMC involved in illegal operations—one that 404 had previously investigated. Due to a mishap during the earlier report submission, relevant personnel—including Vera—had been exposed. That was why she was targeted for revenge. Although the PMC was later dismantled, the real mastermind remained hidden in the shadows. And in those shadows were more eyes and hands, ready to pull them into even deeper darkness. Leva had always envisioned leading 404 forward through whatever tides that reshaped the world. But after this incident, she realized that she could no longer protect 404 as she once had simply by staying within the squad. She needed to stand higher. She needed to go farther, ahead of them, so that she could stop 404 from being swallowed by the fathomless vortex of time. Leva found Kalina and accepted her invitation to join the Non-Military Forces Administration—but on one condition: she must be granted appropriate access to the Administration's intelligence network, so she could screen missions for 404 and better protect her family. She wanted to shut the door on death and separation—before they came knocking. This time, she might be away from home for a long while. But when she finally returns, it will be for a true reunion.最初，格琳娜邀请莱娅加入非军事力量管理局的时候，莱娅并没有答应。 在莱娅看来，404小队离不开她，身处其中也能在她们需要的时候及时伸出援手、更好地守护自己的家人。 但空闲下来的时候，莱娅的确有稍微思考一下各个成员接任队长的可能性。 莱娜虽然机灵，执行任务也干脆利落，但如果自己要加入非军事力量管理局的话，她一定也会追随过来；米什缇……无法想象；可露凯应该是最适合的人选，实力强劲，但她是“能力越大，责任越大”的极端奉行者，很容易出现硬扛和大包大揽的情况…… “嗯，果然她们是离不开我的~” “只是因为这样吗？我看到了其他想法哦~？” “……作为第二运算核心，什么事都瞒不过你呀。” 于是就这样，莱娅继续专注于运营404，除了工作和任务，鲜少与404以外的人产生过多的交集和接触，更不要说交朋友。 朋友是风险，也是软肋。 但有一个人却是例外，那名女子是404的协作人之一，代号维拉。 维拉的身份并不尊贵，白天她是在白区高级餐厅演奏的钢琴家，夜晚她辗转于绿区表演魔术，利用工作之便，她偶尔会给莱娅传递情报，或者提供一些可靠的委托。 久而久之，相似的处事方式和绝对尊重的空间感，让她们之间滋生了一些类似于友谊的情感，维拉甚至借由一次魔术表演，将自己刚满月的孩子的照片送给了莱娅。 莱娅虽然嘴上并不承认她们之间是朋友关系，但也和莱娜商量着要不要给她的孩子买点满月礼。 礼物还没买到，不幸的事却发生了。 维拉的地下生意不知道动了谁的蛋糕，莱娅最后一次看见她，是在一个视频里。 视频的内容十分血腥，维拉那双漂亮而修长的手被一锤锤敲得血肉模糊，视频的最后是维拉半睁着的、失去光泽的眼睛。 莱娅试图自行追查凶手的线索，但一无所获，无奈之下只好拜托格琳娜。 在等待消息的时间里，莱娅久违地感受到了无力与弱小。 终于，格琳娜利用非军事管理局强大的情报网络，锁定了一家404调查过的、存在非法业务的P.M.C.。 由于之前递交调查资料的过程出了纰漏，导致相关人员相继暴露，维拉也是其中的一环，因此才遭到了打击报复。 尽管后续解决了这个P.M.C.，但真正的幕后主使依然隐藏在迷雾里，而在这片雾中，有着更多的眼睛和手，等待着、随时将她们拖进更深的黑暗。 在莱娅的设想中，不管世界的格局如何变化，她始终会带领着404在时代的洪流中前行。 但经历过这次事件，莱娅意识到了，只是待在小队里，无法和之前一样保护404。 她需要站在一个更高的位置，她需要先行一步，走得更远，才能避免404被时代的漩涡吞噬。 莱娅找到了格琳娜，接受了她加入非军事力量管理局的邀请，但条件是她需要能够适当调用非军事力量管理局的情报网络，来筛选404的委托，更好地保护家人。 她要提前把生离死别拒之门外。 这一次也许会离家很久，但下次回来时，一定就是真正的团圆。

Record 6"I'm ready. Let's go, Commander." I look up and freeze when I see Leva's new short hairstyle, stunned until a hand waves in front of my face. "Why are you spacing out all of a sudden?" "N-no... I just haven't seen you dressed like this in so long." Short hair, a tailored blazer and shorts—it's a stark contrast from Leva's usual look, and much more human in style. "Well, we're headed to a formal meeting today, so I figured this would be more appropriate—and a bit more low-key. Still, I'm curious..." Leva peers at me. "Commander, which style do you think looks better on me?" "Leva is..." "'Leva is Leva, and you look good no matter what you wear'—Commander, do I look like the kind of Doll who'd be fooled by such a wishy-washy answer?" I have barely opened my mouth before Leva cuts me off. She gives me a faint smile, a teasing glint in her eyes. Sure enough, with this fox, I can't afford to let my guard down even for a second. "Of course not. But no matter what I say, you would stick to your own choices and style, right?" "After all, you're rarely swayed by others. The way I see it, that's exactly what makes you so fetching." "Hehe, nicely played, Commander. When neither option seems right, you carve out a third path and sidestep the question entirely." "Is that not allowed?" "It's pretty good, actually~ But, Commander, you did get one thing wrong." Leva leans in close to whisper in my ear. "Your opinion can absolutely influence me. So next time—tell me what kind of look you like~?"“我好了，走吧指挥官。” 我抬起头，看见了莱娅的短发造型，不由得愣住，直到一只手在我面前晃了晃。 “怎么突然发呆了？” “没……就是太久没看到莱娅这样穿了。” 短发、西装短裤，和平时的莱娅差别很大、也更像是人类的造型。 “毕竟今天要去的是一个会谈，这样穿更正式，也更低调一些。不过我很好奇——” “指挥官觉得，哪个造型的我更好看呢？” “莱娅就是——” “‘莱娅就是莱娅，无论哪个造型都很好看——’，指挥官，你觉得我是会被这种敷衍的回答糊弄过去的人形吗？” 我刚张了张嘴，话头就被莱娅抢了去。 她露出一个浅笑，看着我的眼神里有略微调笑的意思。 果然，跟这只狐狸相处，不能有半分松懈。 “当然不，但不管我的评价如何，莱娅也会坚持自己的装扮和想法的吧？” “毕竟莱娅鲜少会被其他人影响到，对我来说，这正是莱娅最吸引人的地方。” “哼哼，指挥官很会嘛。当两个选项可能都不对的时候，开辟第三个选项，引开注意力。” “这样不行？” “挺好的呀~不过指挥官，有个地方说错了。” 莱娅凑到了我的耳边。 “指挥官的意见，完全可以影响到我，所以下次告诉我你喜欢什么样的吧~？”

Record 7I look at Leva lying in the repair pod as she slowly opens her eyes. The uncharacteristically vulnerable expression on her face makes it hard for me to voice the reproach I'd planned. After all, she acted out of concern for my safety— "If you're about to say something like, 'Next time, take care of yourself first,' you can skip it, Commander." "How did you know that was what I was going to say?" "It's written all over your face." Leva sits up in the pod and moves her limbs a little to test them out. "Besides, I haven't lost any of my neural data. I can tell what's on your mind just by rewinding a little." "I've never been one to shy away from the possibility of sacrifice during a mission, but if that sacrifice is you, Commander, I won't stand by and let it happen." There is no hint of her usual playfulness in her tone. Leva looks at me quietly, seriously. "A botched mission can be reattempted. My frame can be repaired. But there's only one Commander—nothing and no one can replace you." "Leva..." A hand gently touches my cheek, and she looks into my eyes. "I don't want to lose anyone important ever again, Commander."我看着躺在维修舱中的莱娅，缓慢地睁开双眼。 不同于往常的稍显脆弱的神情，让我反而不知道怎样将接下来的责怪说出口，毕竟莱娅是顾忌我的安危—— “如果是类似于‘下次多顾着自己’这种话，还是免了哦，指挥官。” “你怎么知道我要说这些。” “你都写在脸上了呀。” 莱娅从维修仓中坐起，活动了一下四肢。 “而且，我的心智又没有丢失，稍微回溯一下，就知道你要和我说什么了。” “我向来不回避任务中可能出现的牺牲，但是如果那个牺牲是指挥官的话，我是不会放任不管的。” 不同于往日的调侃，莱娅淡淡地看着我，神情认真。 “任务失败了可以再接，我的素体坏了可以修理，但指挥官只有一个，任何人或事物都无法替代。” “莱娅……” 一只手抚上了我的脸庞，莱娅凝视着我的双眼。 “我不想再失去任何重要的人了，指挥官。”

Record 8When the MCV pulls over for maintenance, Leva invites me to get off and take a walk through the nearby city ruins. Amidst the dead, crumbling walls and debris, her steps are light and full of life. "It feels like..." "Hm?" Leva turns to look at me. "You seem... happier than usual?" "I wouldn't say happy, but walking through these destroyed human settlements... does make me feel at ease." "Why's that?" "Because I can let my imagination run wild. For example..." she says, pausing in front of what appears to be the entrance to an old shop, running her fingers across a faded, illegible poster on the glass window. "July 2nd... What was on sale that day?" "Who rode the kiddie ride outside?" "Whose bullet left the hole in this window?" "There are no answers to these questions, no way to verify them, so we can guess as much as we want." "These ruins may seem empty, but that emptiness is what makes them full of infinite, uncertain possibilities." "Don't you think that's fascinating?" Leva turns and leans against the window, looking at me. "I've been to the White Zones and the Green Zones. They've been built, defined. But these ruins... they're like another dimension, another world entirely." "And in another dimension, what would you and I be?" Her words spark endless possibilities in my mind. What kind of person would I be in another dimension? Would Leva still be by my side? "Maybe... there's even a world where you and I don't exist in the same dimension at all," she mused. "In that case, could we still talk like this?" "Maybe—through some kind of medium. But I still like it best this way—" Leva steps up to me and takes my hand. "We can speak directly... and actually touch each other." "Commander, you'd better treasure the Leva of this world, okay?"当基地车停靠在路边整修时，莱娅邀请我下车，去附近的城市废墟走走。 死气沉沉的残垣断壁之中，莱娅的脚步轻快而充满生机。 “总觉得……” “嗯？”莱娅回过头看向我。 “总有一种，莱娅比平时要开心的感觉？” “开心算不上，但是走在这种被摧毁的人类居住地中，确实让我感到很舒服。” “为什么？” “因为可以想象呀，比如——” 莱娅停在了一个看似是商店的建筑门口，抚摸着玻璃橱窗上已经看不清字迹的海报。 “7月2号……那天的打折商品是什么呢？” “门口的摇摇车，有谁坐过呢？” “玻璃窗上的弹孔，是谁留下的呢？” “这些问题都没有答案，也无从考证，所以欢迎所有猜测。” “废墟看似空无一物，但正是这样才充满了各种不确定的可能性。” “不觉得很有趣吗？” 莱娅转身靠在玻璃橱窗上，看向我。 “白区、绿区，我都去过，那里已经成型了，而这些废墟就像是另一个次元、另一个世界。” “而在其他次元中，我和指挥官又会是什么身份呢？” 莱娅的话引起了我的无限遐想。 另一个次元的我，会是什么样的呢？我的身边还会有莱娅的存在吗？ “说不定，还有这样一种可能——在某个次元中，我和指挥官并不是一个维度的存在。” “那样的话，我们还能像现在这样对话吗？” “可能可以吧，通过某种媒介。不过果然还是现在这样最好——” 莱娅走到了我的面前，牵起了我的手。 “能直接交谈，还能触碰到彼此。” “指挥官，要珍惜这个世界的我哦？”
