Yoohee - Recollection Node I 幼熙·回溯节点I

(Elmo, the dormitory. As the music's final beats conclude, Yoohee finishes the dance practice with a perfect motion.)（艾莫号，休息室中。伴随着音乐最后几组节拍，幼熙用一个完美的动作结束了舞蹈练习。）

(I cannot help but clap at this mesmerizing display.)（我不由为这精彩的动作鼓掌。）

Yoohee—Commander!——指挥官！

YooheeWhen did you—Aw, it's this late already?您什么时候——哎、已经这个时间了吗？

CommanderYeah, but I can wait. No rush.对，不过我可以等你，没关系的。

YooheeNo-no-no, that won't do, I was the one who invited you. You're here to help me out, too...不用不用不用，那多不好意思，本来就是我约您，还是给我帮忙的……

YooheeOkay, sit down! Have some tea!来，您坐！喝茶！

(Yoohee expeditiously carries over a chair, stuffing a mug of steaming hot tea into my hand. A flowery fragrance hits me, emanating from the cup's contents.)（幼熙手脚麻利地给我搬来椅子，顺手在我手里塞了一个冒着热气的马克杯。我闻到馨香的气息，杯子里似乎是某种花茶。）

CommanderNo need to go so far.不用这么客气。

CommanderYou told me before that you wanted me to help you tidy up some neural data, right?之前你说，希望我帮你一起梳理心智数据，对吧？

YooheeYes. The records I wanted you to go over with me are from before that special day as well. A time not unlike now!是的。这次想请您和我一起梳理的记录，也是发生那个特别的节日之前，是和现在差不多的时间呢！

CommanderA memorable experience, yes?那是一段让你印象深刻的经历？

Yoohee...Yeah! It wasn't exciting or frightening, nor anything that changed the world. Still, I look back on it fondly, and it taught me a lot.……嗯！虽然既不刺激也不惊险，也不是会改变世界的大事，但我认为是一段温馨的回忆，也让我学到了很多。

CommanderAlright, I'll do my best to help you. Shall we begin?明白了，我会尽力帮你梳理的，现在就开始吧？

YooheeYeah, I'll be in your care!好的，拜托您啦！

Lovely Scenery 绝美布景

(On a bright and pleasant morning, pedestrians begin to filter onto the satellite city streets.)（明媚的清晨，行人渐渐涌入卫星城的街头。）

(The shops on the sides of the street hang up colored lights and put on displays of bouquets, dyeing the otherwise monotone cityscape.)（步行街两侧的商家们在店面挂起彩灯，摆出一束束搭配好的花束，缤纷的花朵让单调的夜晚多了一些色彩。）

(Yoohee stops in front of one such shop, lightly touching a petal as shock makes itself apparent on her face.)（幼熙在一家店铺前驻足，轻轻触碰了一下花瓣，露出吃惊的表情。）

YooheeWow, these flowers are real? I thought they were plastic. Plants for viewing pleasure are expensive these days.咦，是真花啊？我还以为是塑料的呢，毕竟这年头观赏植物的价格可不便宜。

YooheeWell, it is the time of year to express your wishes by giving flowers...唔，毕竟也到了互相送花来表达心意的节日了嘛……

YooheeRight, Sharkry-seonbae's response!对了，夏克里前辈的回信！

(Yoohee inspects the message records on her phone. She scrolls up and down, failing to find Sharkry's name.)（幼熙查看起手机上的消息记录，上下翻动后，并没有看到夏克里的名字。）

YooheeHuh, there's nothing...奇怪，怎么没有呢……

YooheeCould it be that she didn't see my message?难道说，前辈没看到我的留言？

(Beep beep!)（滴滴滴！滴滴滴！）

(As Yoohee feels anxiety creep in, her phone begins to ring.)（正在幼熙焦急的时候，手机的铃声响了起来。）

YooheeAh, Sharkry-seonbae's calling!是夏克里前辈，终于打过来了！

SharkryHello—can you hear me?喂喂——听得到吗？

YooheeGood morning, Sharkry-seonbae!夏克里前辈，早上好！

SharkryMorning♥早上好♥

SharkrySharkry saw the message. Compared to the previous version, the changes worked really well!夏克里看到留言啦，对比之前的编舞版本，修改后的效果真的不错！

SharkryDancing with the falling snow, with the audience's full attention—在观众们的注目下，伴随落雪一同起舞——

SharkryJeez, all this talk makes me want to get on the stage myself!哎呀，我都有点想上场表演了呢！

YooheeReally, Sharkry-seonbae? "Sparkle", my Doll dance squad, will welcome you with open arms at any time!啊，夏克里前辈要来吗？“火花”——我的人形舞蹈队，随时欢迎前辈加入！

SharkrySparkle—to think of it, that sure is a passionate name. I must apologize, though.“火花”——再听一次，还是觉得这个名字好热情呢，不过不好意思哦。

SharkryThe cafe's been really busy recently. That young mistress is no help, and Centaureissi's raised the standards of service again.咖啡馆最近的工作非常忙呢，那个大小姐完全不来帮忙，桑朵莱希又提高了服务标准。

SharkryBut it's alright. No matter how busy it gets, Sharkry will always keep the customers happy♥但也没什么关系啦，就算平时再忙，夏克里也完——全——有把握，让顾客们喜欢的♥

YooheeI see... And here I thought you'd finally agree to join...这样啊……还以为前辈终于同意加入火花了……

YooheeBut with your approval, I'm much more confident in the changes to the routine.不过有了前辈的肯定，对于编舞的修改我就放心多了。

SharkryIt's a bit early to celebrate, y'know.现在高兴还太早了哦。

SharkryThe plan might have been perfected with Sharkry's help, but where will you get snow from?虽然由夏克里协助修改的方案非常完美，但哪里才能弄到雪呢？

SharkryThe technology's only gotten to a refined enough stage to only emulate rain, right? And it's limited to the White Zone cities, too—though we get a few scraps in the satellite city occasionally.目前比较成熟的技术，似乎只有人工降雨吧？还是限定在白区城市内的——偶尔我们卫星城也能沾点光啦。

YooheeDon't worry, I've gone over the files already.别担心，我已经查过资料了。

YooheeLUB-01 has a scientist researching artificial snow. I'm already there, on the way to their laboratory!卫星城LUB-01有一名科学家正在研究人工降雪，我现在就在LUB-01，正要去那个人的研究所呢！

SharkryEh? You already left PRY-01, Yoohee? You sure move fast!欸？幼熙已经离开PRY-01了吗？好惊人的行动力！

YooheeThe only thing left to do in PRY-01 is to practice before the performance. With the changes locked in, there's nothing left for me to do there.毕竟留在PRY-01也只是做演出前的排练啦，编舞的修改已经确定了，我留在那里也没什么用。

YooheeOnce I got news about the artificial snow, I set off right after sending you a message.知道了人工降雪的消息，和前辈留言之后，我马上就出发了。

SharkryHm... I heard that LUB-01 has an excellent dessert shop, and they say that their sweets are all super cute! I really wanted to go take a look...唔……我知道LUB-01有一家很不错的甜品屋，据说售卖的甜点超级可爱！好想去看一看……

SharkrySince you're in LUB-01, Yoohee, could you go take a look and snap some photos of the sweets? Sharkry would be so very grateful~要是幼熙现在就在LUB-01，如果有时间能去转一转，拍点甜点的照片，夏克里会很感激哟~

YooheeDessert shop...甜品屋……

YooheeThis might be a good chance to get closer to Sharkry-seonbae...这或许是个和前辈继续拉进关系的好机会……

SharkryAh, I couldn't quite hear that. Was there something you didn't want Sharkry to hear?啊，听不清啦，在背着夏克里讲悄悄话嘛？

YooheeN-No, nothing. The signal got a bit bad, that's all.没、没有啦，刚刚只是信号不好。

YooheeSend me the shop's name, please.前辈把店名发给我吧。

SharkryGive me a second, it's on the tip of Sharkry's tongue.稍等哦，让夏克里想想那家店的名字。

SharkryHm? What is it, Manager? I'm on the phone with Yoohee! Whassat? New coffee beans?咦？怎么了店长，我在和幼熙打电话呢！什么什么，新到的咖啡豆？

(Springfield's voice comes from the other end of the call.)（电话的另一头似乎传来了春田的声音。）

SharkrySharkry has to help carry some stuff. Be right backsies!夏克里去帮店长搬些东西，马上回来！

YooheeNo problem, do what you need to do.没关系，前辈先去忙吧。

(Five minutes later—)（五分钟后——）

SharkryHere's the encore♥安可来了哟♥

SharkryYoohee, you still there?幼熙，还在吗？

YooheeYes, go ahead.还在的，前辈请说。

SharkryI went ahead and asked the Manager just now. She said that artificial snow is some really impressive tech right now, and totes hard to put into action.夏克里刚才在搬东西的时候顺便问了店长，店长说，人工降雪现在是很厉害的技术，很难实现的。

SharkryIs my finest work going to sink before its maiden voyage like this? Makes me angry just thinking about it!夏克里的绝佳舞台设计难道要这样搁浅了吗？想想就好生气呀！

YooheeYou won't know unless you try.不试试怎么知道。

YooheeI had to go to great lengths to convince the dance squad's instructor to approve "Sparkle" for PRY-01's special holiday program. If we miss out, who knows how long I'll have to wait for the next opportunity.好不容易才跟舞蹈团的老师申请成功，让“火花”负责PRY-01卫星城节日活动中的特别演出环节，要是错过了，下次还不知道要等到什么时候。

YooheeIf we need it for the best effect, I'll go for it, even if my odds of success are only 1%!只要能达到最佳效果，哪怕是百分之一的成功率我也会去尝试！

(Yoohee answers as she pats her chest. Simultaneously, she finds many people running in her direction with distress on their faces.)（幼熙一边回答，一边拍了拍自己的胸脯。与此同时，她发现许多神情紧张的路人正朝自己跑来。）

Furious PasserbyStop going in that direction, everyone! Turn back!大家都别往那边走了，快点回去！

(The man at the front of the group shouts, and the passersby stop in their tracks.)（跑在最前面的一名男子喊到，听到喊话的行人纷纷驻足。）

Furious PasserbyA robot's gone haywire and messed up the entire street...有一台机器人失控了，把整条街都搞得乱七八糟……

Furious PasserbyLook at all these bubbles on my clothes! I'm soaked!瞧瞧我这一身泡沫，衣服全都湿透了！

SharkryYoohee, can you hear me? Sounds like there's a lot of noise over there, what's going on?幼熙，还听得到吗？那边的声音好吵，发生什么了？

YooheeSorry, Sharkry-seonbae, a robot's gone out of control here. I gotta go have a look!不好意思，夏克里前辈，附近好像有一台机器人失控了，我要过去看看！

SharkryRobot? Out of control?机器人？失控？

SharkryMan, that satellite city sounds dangerous. Maybe... you should get out of there first? I can ask the Manager to think of something for the snow.怎么听起来感觉那边的卫星城好危险呀，要不，还是先离开那里吧？降雪的事情我可以麻烦店长想想办法。

YooheeIt's no problem. I'm here already, might as well give it a go.没关系的前辈，我人都已经来了，总归要试试看嘛。

YooheeI'll be A-okay!我会注意安全的！

(Yoohee ends the call, running in the direction the man indicated.)（幼熙挂断了电话，朝着男人所说的方向跑去。）

YooheeWoah, slippery!哎呀，好滑！

(Before she could run a dozen steps, Yoohee steps on a puddle of white foam. Just before she falls to the ground, she extends her right hand, supporting herself and landing on her feet after a 360-degree twirl.)（还没跑出几步，幼熙踩在一摊白色的泡沫上，眼看就要摔倒，她伸出右手撑住地面， 360度回旋后平稳落地。）

YooheeA perfect aerial motion! If that was on-stage, the audience would've given a big round of applause, right?完美的空中动作！要是在舞台上，刚刚的旋转应该能收获不少掌声吧？

YooheeGah... This wet feeling on my hands is really icky...呜……液体沾在手上，湿漉漉的感觉好讨厌啊……

YooheeJust what is this white foam... Was that a firefighting robot?这些白色泡沫到底是什么……消防机器人坏掉了？

??Snow! Snowing!雪！下雪！

(A strange voice comes from her right. Yoohee turns to find a small automaton, no taller than half a person.)（奇怪的声音从右侧传来，幼熙转过头，发现了一台不到半人高的自律小机器人。）

Autonomous RobotSnow! Snowing!雪！下雪！

YooheeSnow? What do you mean? Wait, are you that faulty—下雪？什么意思？欸，难道你就是那台失控的——

(Before she could finish her sentence, the robot spews forth a burst of bubbles, hitting the unprepared Yoohee straight on.)（话没说完，小机器人喷出泡沫，毫无防备的幼熙被直接命中。）

YooheeM-My clothes—Ah, it's getting in my ear!我、我的衣服——啊，泡沫进到耳朵里了——

Autonomous RobotSnowing! Snowing!下雪！下雪！

YooheeHold up! Don't you run! Not after doing a number like this on the frame I just had maintained!等等！你别跑！把我刚刚保养过的素体弄成这样，别想逃走！

(The robot runs into the distance as Yoohee quickly swats away the foam on her and gives chase.)（小机器人跑向远处，幼熙把粘在身上的泡沫迅速擦掉，追了上去。）

Autonomous RobotSnow snow snow snow—雪雪雪雪雪——

YooheeAh, hold on! Oh no, there's someone up ahead!你，你等等！啊，前面有人！

(The robot dashes along the pavement. Not far away is a senior citizen, not so keen of foot.)（小机器人在便道上快速突进，就在它前方不远的位置，站着一位腿脚不便的老人。）

YooheeCrap, if it keeps moving, there'll be a collision for sure!糟了，要是它继续往前跑，一定会撞上的！

YooheeWhere's the security bot—it's not paying attention at all!安保机器人呢——根本没注意到这边啊！

(Yoohee looks over at the security bot moving along at a leisurely pace, gritting her teeth.)（幼熙看了看在另一边晃晃悠悠的安保机器人，咬了咬牙。）

YooheeScrew it!顾不了这么多了！

YooheeYeeart—嘿——

(Yoohee gets a running start, leaps into the air, and delivers a stylish kick to the little robot's fragile joint.)（幼熙助跑两步，跳跃起来，用漂亮的舞台动作踢中了小机器人薄弱的关节处。）

(The sudden strike makes the little robot lose its balance, and it falls to the ground with a pirouette. The old woman soon leaves the robot's path on the pavement.)（突然受击，小机器人失去平衡，原地转了一圈倒在了地上，老人也离开了小机器人的行进轨道。）

YooheeWhew, that was close. It nearly ran into that old lady.好险，差点就要撞到那位老婆婆。

(While Yoohee takes the time to escort the old woman to a safe area, the little robot springs to its feet again and hurries away, swaying from side to side.)（幼熙把老人家扶到安全区域的功夫，小机器人又弹起身，歪歪扭扭地奔走起来。）

Autonomous RobotSnow, snow! Snowing!雪！雪！下雪！

YooheeDon't just run off! Gah, it's spraying all over the place again... If this gets out of hand...等一下别乱跑啊！哇又开始喷洒了……要是引发骚乱就不好了……

(Yoohee looks about hurriedly, searching for a way to stop the little robot. It keeps spinning around enthusiastically not far away, continually spewing foam.)（幼熙焦急地四下张望，试图寻找阻止小机器人的办法。在她不远处，自律机器人快乐地转着圈，不停喷洒泡沫。）

??Hey, aren't you K2?你，你是K2吗？

Yoohee—Yes?——是？

(Yoohee turns around to answer. Two familiar faces stand right behind her.)（幼熙应声回头，就在自己侧后方，站着两个熟悉的人。）

YooheeM1895 and Stechkin? You—why are you two here?纳甘左轮，斯捷奇金？你们——你们怎么在这里？

NagantWe—look, it's complicated. We have some business to take care of—我们——有点复杂，总之就是有点事跑过来了——

NagantNo time for that now. Why are you wet all over? Is it that robot—did your robot go haywire?先别管这个了，你怎么全身上下都湿漉漉的，是那个机器人——你的机器人失控了？

YooheeI-It's not mine... I don't know how to explain, but we need to stop it right now!不是，那不是我的机器人……我也不知道怎么解释，就是，要快点制止它！

YooheeIf we just let it run around like this, we'll have an accident on our hands for sure! Can you help me out?再放任它这么乱跑，一定会引起事故的！你们能不能帮帮我？

NagantHuh? Oh... ahem, it's a senior's duty to help out their juniors, after all.啊？啊……咳咳，响应后辈的求助是前辈的责任嘛。

NagantWait, don't shoot at us! Look out, Ksenia!哇，别朝我们喷泡沫啊！科谢尼娅，快躲开！

(At Nagant's reminder, Ksenia unhurriedly bends downwards as the glob of foam flies by just above her head.)（在纳甘的提醒下，科谢尼娅不紧不慢地弯下腰，泡沫从她的头顶飞过。）

KseniaAny ideas, my good senior? This bubble monster's about to flood all the shops here.前辈，有什么好办法吗，那个泡沫怪就要把商铺淹掉了。

NagantI'm thinking, okay? Get a move on at least! Don't just stand there playing games!在想了在想了……总之你先动起来啦，不要一直拿着终端玩小游戏了好吧！

KseniaOkay, okay, your wish is my command—好好，前辈的吩咐我一定好好听——

(Ksenia puts away her terminal, following Nagant's footsteps and taking cover behind a toppled table.)（科谢尼娅收起终端，跟上纳甘的脚步，躲到一张被推倒的桌子后面。）

KseniaStill thinking?前辈，还没想好吗？

NagantO-Of course not! We need to prioritize getting the source of the chaos under control!当、当然想好了！要优先控制住骚乱的源头！

NagantRight, K2 and I will pin it down so it doesn't move as much. You look for a timing and grab it from its bubble-spewing dead zone.这样，我和K2想办法缩小它的行动范围，不让它乱跑，你等待时机，找到泡沫喷射的死角，然后把它抓住。

KseniaEh? Why's the hardest part being left to me—诶？怎么最麻烦的事情轮到我了——

NagantKsenia!科谢尼娅！

KseniaOkay, okay, it's an order, I get it. How about an extra hour on my breaktimes from now on?好吧好吧，毕竟是前辈的命令呢，之后的调休给我多算一个小时怎么样？

NagantOi, no haggling!不要讨价还价啦！

NagantAny questions, K2?K2呢？有问题吗？

YooheeNo. Let's go!没问题，我们上吧！

Tiny Robot 小小机器人

YooheeHehe, no running this time!哼哼，这下你可跑不掉了！

(Hearing the sound behind itself, the robot turns around exaggeratedly. Before it could focus its camera on Yoohee, Nagant had already restrained it with the rope she had on her body.)（听到身后传来的声音，小机器人夸张地原地转过身子，没等它将摄像头对准幼熙，便被纳甘用身上带着的麻绳捆了起来。）

Autonomous RobotScary! Scary! Lawbreaker! Lawbreaker!可怕！可怕！坏人！坏人！

YooheeYou're the one causing all this ruckus, and you dare yell that at us?明明是你在步行街上捣乱，怎么还说起我来了！

YooheeAh, right... M1895, Stechkin, thank you!啊，对了……纳甘左轮，斯捷奇金，谢谢你们！

YooheeWithout your help, I probably would've never caught this little guy.要是没有你们帮忙，恐怕我还抓不到这个小家伙。

NagantDon't worry about it. Of course you've gotta give an old friend a hand!不用客气，老朋友遇到困难，当然得出手援助咯！

NagantSpeaking of which, you're still the exact same as before after all this time.话说回来，这么久没见，你看起来和以前一样，完全没变呀。

YooheeReally? The exact same?我没变？我没变吗？

KseniaThe exact same.一点没变哦。

YooheeWha... B-But I tried so hard for so long...什么……我明明，明明努力了这么久……

(The news seem to hit Yoohee hard.)（幼熙看起来有点受到打击。）

NagantThis is our first time meeting after we left Griffin, right? Oh, right, Stechkin changed her name. Goes by Ksenia now.说起来，这是我们离开格里芬后的第一次见面吧？哦对，斯捷奇金改了名字，叫科谢尼娅。

KseniaNagant here hasn't changed much, just like you. Still good 'ol Nagant.而纳甘前辈也和你一样一点没变，现在还叫纳甘哦。

NagantUs elders gotta respect tradition. You whippersnappers wouldn't get it.这是老人家对传统的尊重，你个小年轻懂什么。

NagantAnd going from Nagant M1985 to Nagant is still a difference!而且、从纳甘左轮变成纳甘，也多少是变了的！

KseniaSure thing, buddy.是是，前辈说的是。

Yoohee...I-I'm called Yoohee now.……我，我叫幼熙，现在。

(Seemingly still recovering from the shock, Yoohee looks like she is still coming back to her senses.)（似乎还没从打击里缓过来，幼熙看起来有点魂不守舍。）

NagantYoohee's your new name? It sure has a nice ring to it!幼熙？是你的新名字？听起来不错！

KseniaYoohee, do you work around here now?幼熙，你现在是在这座城市工作吗？

YooheeNo, I work in a performance troupe. I came here to look for some technical assistance with artificial snow.不是，我在一个歌舞团工作，来这里，是想寻找有关人工降雪的技术支持。

KseniaA performance group? In need of artificial snow?歌舞团？还要人工降雪？

YooheeYes! I put together a Doll dance group called "Sparkle". The troupe recently took on a major contract, and "Sparkle" will be responsible for part of the programme. To add a bit of atmosphere, we're looking for some help with artificial snow.是的！我组建了一只人形舞蹈队，叫“火花”。歌舞团最近承接了一个大型活动，“火花”要负责其中的一个环节，从节目效果考虑，需要人工降雪的技术支持。

(As the topic shifts to her field, Yoohee seems to ease up a bit.)（说到自己擅长的内容，幼熙看起来舒缓了一些。）

KseniaWoah, sounds impressive, unlike us. All we do is the grunt work to help with city security. Basically no holidays, too.哇，听起来挺厉害的。不像我们，只能苦哈哈地协助城市治安，还几乎全年无休。

KseniaWe finally got a few days to rest and recover, but the first thing we encounter is a public incident...好不容易能休息几天，跑来这里玩玩，结果还遇上了治安事件。

KseniaWoah—Say, do you think I could get a bonus for overtime?哇——前辈，我能不能申请加班工资？

NagantSure is one hell of a holiday you're having. Aren't you here for the competition?你哪是来玩的，你是要来这里参加比赛吧？

YooheeCompetition? What competition?比赛？什么比赛？

YooheeIs there an event or something going on around here?这里近期有什么活动吗？

NagantA holiday event of sorts, with a sizable prize pool to boot. I hear there are rare flowers up for grabs this time, the type that don't wither even if left alone for ages.算是节日活动吧，而且优胜奖的奖金可不少，还有稀有的花束作为奖品，听说是可以存放很久都不凋零的高级品种。

NagantIt's been the talk of the town. How come you haven't heard about this, Yoohee?这次比赛的热度相当高呢，幼熙你竟然不知道？

YooheeWell, I suppose I've been rather busy with putting together a dance routine and didn't have time for much else.可能是我前些日子一直在埋头编舞，没什么时间关注别的……

YooheeAre you guys here to win the cash prize and take home beautiful flowers for a special day?你们来到这里，是打算赢得比赛奖金，顺便带漂亮的花束回去庆祝节日吗？

NagantYou got half of it right. Ksenia's planning to sell the flowers off instead.对了一半，科谢尼娅打算把花束也卖掉赚钱来着。

NagantOld and gray as I am, I have little interest in money. I'm only here to help out at the request of my juniors.我这样的老人家对金钱不感兴趣，完全是因为后辈的请求，所以才会过来帮忙。

KseniaWell, I suppose all of the funds from the flower sale shall go to me, then.既然前辈这么说，那倒卖花束的钱就全归我了。

NagantI-I might not be interested in money, but it's never bad to have a bit of money on your hands for the holidays!我、我虽然对金钱没有兴趣，但多一点过节经费也是好的！

KseniaWowzers, my good senior, that expression of yours is adorable! Wish I had a camera on hand to capture this.前辈，你现在的表情好可爱啊！应该用相机拍下来。

NagantGah, how many times have I told you not to tease your seniors!说过多少次啦，不可以捉弄前辈！

NagantAnyway, we're already helping out, so we might as well see it through. Let's help Yoohee tie up these loose ends.帮人帮到底，距离报名结束还有些时间，我们先帮幼熙做好善后工作吧。

NagantYoohee, what do you plan to do with this little guy?幼熙，你打算怎么处理这台小机器人？

YooheeI've no idea who owns it, so... I suppose it'll have to go to the Security Management Department.也不知道它的主人是谁，嗯……先送到治安管理处吧。

Autonomous RobotSnowing! Snowing!下雪！下雪！

Yoohee(Sigh) Looks like its operation logic's well and truly gone out the window.唉，看来它的运行逻辑已经完全混乱了呀。

YooheeDo you want to see snow too, like me?你也和我一样想要看下雪吗？

(Yoohee bows down, lightly tapping at the little robot's head. It struggles defiantly, still bound in place.)（幼熙弯下身，轻轻敲了一下小机器人的脑袋。被困着的小机器人不老实地挣扎起来。）

KseniaIs it upset? Why does it feel like this little guy's AI is actually pretty advanced?这是生气了？我怎么觉得这小机器人的内置AI水平还挺高？

YooheeLet's hope that the Management Department can get a read on its owner, then.但愿去了治安管理处，能读取出它的持有者的信息吧。

??A moment, please!等等，请等一下！

(A middle-aged man runs towards the trio, waving his hand.)（一位中年男人挥着手快步向三人跑来。）

Middle-Aged ManThank goodness, I finally found...终于找到了，还好……

Middle-Aged ManAhh!啊啊啊！

(The man steps in the foam emitted by the robot, slipping underfoot and leaning backwards, till he crashes into a pile of foam.)（男人踩中小机器人吐出的泡沫，脚下一滑，后仰着直接摔进了泡沫堆里。）

KseniaYowch, that looked like it hurt...呃，看起来好疼的样子……

NagantCome help if you have the time to babble!有说风凉话的功夫，快过来帮忙啦！

(Nagant gestures at Ksenia and extends a hand to the man on the ground.)（纳甘招呼科谢尼娅走过去，伸手去扶滑倒的男人。）

NagantAre you alright?你没事吧？

Middle-Aged ManI'm fine, I'm fine...没事没事……

(The man begins to get to his feet with Nagant and Ksenia's help, but he stops as he leans on the ground with one hand and looks at the foam on his hand with glee.)（男人在纳甘和科谢尼娅的帮助下试图站起。但在一只手撑住地面时，他停下了动作，惊喜地看着黏在手上的泡沫。）

Middle-Aged ManThis feeling... The low temperature was successfully maintained?!这个感觉……低温维持住了？！

Middle-Aged ManFantastic... This isn't too far off from real snow!太好了……已经和真正的雪相当接近了！

KseniaSnow? Isn't this just foam?雪？这不都是一些泡沫吗？

Middle-Aged ManNot at all! This is no normal foam. I'm trying to emulate the texture of snow with some special materials, but I must first make sure that its temperature and melting sensation are approximate to actual snow. Its texture is indeed closer to foam in its current stage.不！这不是普通的泡沫，我正在尝试用一些材料模拟雪的触感，优先希望保证的是类似于雪的温度与融化感，质感上的确暂时更接近泡沫。

Middle-Aged ManBut if this simulation is successful, I only need to add a cementing agent and adjust the formula, and it will be complete in no time!但只要这项模拟成功，只需要加入固化成分，再调整配比，很快就能成功！

(The man wipes at his face happily, observing the half-melted foam in his hand while still sitting on the ground.)（男人高兴地在脸上抹了一把，维持坐在地上的姿势，将半融的泡沫捧在手上仔细观察。）

(Contemplating the man's face, Yoohee falters for a moment before furrowing her brow and observing carefully.)（看到男人的脸，幼熙愣了一下，随后开始皱着眉仔细观察。）

Yoohee...A-Are you Professor Bowen?……您、您该不会是波文教授吧？

BowenOh, yes. You know me?啊，是的，你认识我？

YooheeAh! So it's you! I saw a picture of you in a magazine, in that interview about artificial snow!啊！您就是波文教授！我在杂志上看到过您的照片，就是那份关于人工降雪技术的专访！

YooheeI came here to look for you!我就是因此才来找您的！

BowenOh! A Doll with an interest in snow?哦！原来人形也对降雪有兴趣吗？

(Nagant extends her hand again, and Bowen takes it, standing up.)（纳甘重新伸出手，波文顺势站了起来。）

BowenThank you.谢谢你。

NagantThere's more foam up ahead, be careful.前面也有泡沫，小心一点。

BowenOh, don't worry.没事没事。

(Waving a hand, Bowen proceeds to the robot's side, undoing its bindings and gently rubbing its head.)（波文一边挥手一边走到自律小机器人身边，将拴在它身上的绳子解开，温柔地摸了摸对方的头。）

BowenAllow me to introduce you. This is Lumi, the artificial snow dispersion robot I've been working on. Recently, the... the programming's gone a bit off, and it often runs about like that, creating trouble.给你们介绍一下，卢米，这就是我研发的模拟降雪机器人。 但是最近……程序出了点问题，经常会像刚才那样跑出来，给你们添麻烦了。

BowenWhether it's compensation or apologies you want, I shall bear responsibility. The programming error will be rectified as soon as possible.赔偿也好道歉也好，后果我会承担。程序故障也会尽快排除的。

Autonomous RobotLumi! Lumi!卢米！卢米！

YooheeNo wonder why it was going on about "snowing" and whatever. Jeez, I'm so slow!难怪它刚刚一直在喊“下雪”什么的，哎呀，我太迟钝了！

YooheeProfessor Bowen, you really must agree to a request of mine!波文教授，请您一定要答应我的请求！

(Yoohee bows deeply to Bowen.)（幼熙向波文深深地行了一个礼。）

BowenYou are?你是？

YooheeDo you remember the name Yoohee? I sent an email to you a few days ago, looking for technical support with regards to artificial snow.幼熙，您记得这个名字吗？前几天向您发过邮件，我想申请人工降雪方面的技术支持。

BowenEmail...邮件……

BowenAh, I remember now. Sorry, the past days have been busy. I haven't had time to reply yet.啊，我想起来了，不好意思，这几天比较忙，我还没来得及回复你。

YooheeIt's alright, I came here to talk to you about the matter for similar reasons. About what I mentioned in the email...没事，我来这里找您也是一样的。关于邮件里说的事情……

BowenYeah... I'd like to help you, but you can see Lumi's current state. It's not the time to commit it to the market yet.嗯……不是我不想帮你，但是卢米刚才的状态你也看到了，现在还不是将它投放到市场上进行测试的时机。

Yoohee...I see.……这样啊……

(Yoohee's head droops despondently.)（幼熙有些沮丧地低下了头。）

(Bowen frees Lumi from being entangled in the ropes once again.)（波文将再次和绳子缠绕在一起的卢米解救出来。）

LumiGuuwwahhhh—!呼噜噜哇啦啦啦啦——！

BowenBut... do you mind telling me the details of what you need? Perhaps it could be managed without Lumi.不过……也许我可以先听听你的详细要求？也有可能不需要卢米就能做到呢。

BowenI live nearby, shall we chat there? I must thank you for stopping Lumi before it really caused a massive problem, too.我家就在附近，来我家聊聊吧？我还要谢谢你们帮我拦住了卢米，没让它闯出大祸。

YooheeReally? I'd love to! Thank you, Professor Bowen!可以吗？我没问题！谢谢您，波文教授！

KseniaCan I come listen, Professor Bowen?我也可以一起听听吗，波文教授？

(Bonk!)（咚！）

(Nagant gives Ksenia a good knock on the back of her head.)（纳甘敲了一下科谢尼娅的后脑勺。）

NagantStop going around and making trouble for people!不要总是去给别人添麻烦！

BowenAh, it's no trouble at all. Sorry, but you two are...不麻烦，啊，忘了问，你们两位是……

YooheeMy friends! They helped me get Lumi under control just then.是我的朋友！刚才，就是她们帮我控制住了卢米。

YooheeBut Nagant, Ksenia, weren't you two going to that competition?不过，纳甘，科谢尼娅，你们不是要参加比赛吗？

NagantAhem, well, we should help you get Lumi back first. If... if it starts acting up again on the way, we can help take care of it.咳咳，我们就先陪你一起把卢米送回去吧。就………万一半路它又失控了，也好有个照应。

KseniaYou're not forgetting why we're here, are you?可是前辈，你是不是忘记我们过来的目的了？

KseniaIf we were delayed by something else in the course of going to the competition, we'd miss out on the cash and flowers. Think of that holiday special edition hat you wanted!要是因为别的事情耽误比赛，就没有办法拿到奖金和花束了，快想想你看中的那顶节日限定帽子！

NagantH-Holiday special edition hat...……节、节日限定帽子……

NagantWait, weren't you talking about going together just a second ago?等等，你刚才不是还要一起去吗？

KseniaI'm just kidding, you're supposed to be the serious here after all—我只是开个玩笑啦，总归是前辈显得比较认真一点——

BowenYou need flowers?你们需要花束？

BowenI happen to have some flowers at my place, planted in the front yard. If you need some, take whichever ones you like. As thanks for your help.我家里刚好有一些花，就种在前院。如果你们需要，尽管摘了拿走好了，就当做你们帮忙的谢礼。

KseniaYou mean we can... have fresh flowers? Not the plastic kind?你是说，要把……真的鲜花送给我们？不是那种塑料的吧？

BowenThey're real.是真的花。

KseniaWoah! That'd be perfect! Say, Nagant, let's help the Professor home first!哇！那可再好不过了！前辈！我们还是先把教授送回家吧！

NagantHuh?啊？

KseniaWell, what's a little competition compared to the citizens' safety? You tell me such things pretty often, you know.比起市民的安全来说，比赛算什么！这不是前辈你经常教育我的事嘛。

KseniaOkay, okay, let's get moving already!好啦好啦，我们快点走吧！

Flower Lover 爱花之人

(After less than thirty minutes on foot, the group arrives at the Bowen's residence, a two-story house with a yard of average size.)（走了不到半个小时的路程后，一行人跟着波文，来到一幢二层的独栋房屋前，房屋外面还有一座面积不大的私人庭院。）

KseniaNagant, Yoohee, y'see? There's so many flowers in that yard!前辈、幼熙，你们看到了吗？院子里真的种着很多花！

YooheeYou weren't kidding!真的欸！

BowenHaha, of course. Take whichever you want when you leave later.哈哈哈，怎么样，我没有骗你们吧。一会离开的时候，你们直接挑喜欢的带走就好。

BowenI remember when I was little, real flowers were all over the place. But now that is no more, and we must make do with the artificial ones.记得我小时候，真正的花草随处可见，现在却一花难求，只能把假花当作替代品。

BowenWhenever I think of the children that never got to see plants in their natural forms, I can't help but feel it's such a shame.每次想到有那么多的孩子没有见识过自然状态下的花草，我就会觉得相当遗憾……

KseniaYeah, yeah! The texture of real petals can't be matched by plastic copies! We'll make good use of them!嗯嗯嗯！那种真实的花瓣质感，塑料仿品完全比不了啊！我们会好好使用它们的！

KseniaIt's just that they don't stay in bloom for as long. Looks like my resale profits are gonna go down a bit...就是不能长时间保持盛开状态，看来我二次贩卖的净利润要稍微低一点……

(Bonk!)（咚！）

(Nagant knocks Ksenia's head again.)（纳甘又敲了一下科谢尼娅的后脑勺。）

NagantStop thinking of that stuff all the time!不要总想着这些！

NagantDecorative plants are expensive and difficult to find for sale nowadays, no?不过，现在的观赏植物都挺贵的吧，而且也不好买到。

NagantWhy do you plant so many things, Professor?教授，你是为什么会种这么多花草植物的？

BowenWell, that's a long story...这个嘛，说来话长……

BowenMy wife used to be quite fond of flowers, and she tried to plant them many times with little success. But I managed to get it right, hehe. It's thanks to the temperature of this satellite city being so stable, though. It's only because the temperature barely changes season-to-season that these flowers can be in bloom at this time of the year.之前我的妻子很喜欢鲜花，尝试种植了很多次，都不太成功。呵呵，现在倒是叫我给种活了。 不过，这也多亏了卫星城的气温相对稳定，四季温差不大，这些花才能在这个季节盛开。

BowenCome in, let's not stand around.别站在这里了，我们进去吧。

(The group enter the building behind Bowen.)（在波文的带领下，几人进入了房间。）

BowenSit wherever you'd like. I'll go get some snacks and drinks.随便坐吧，我去给你们拿些糕饼和饮料。

YooheeAh, no need...啊，不用……

(Before Yoohee could turn down the offer, Bowen proceeds into the kitchen, but not before putting on the record player next to him on the way.)（幼熙还没来得及拒绝，波文便走进了厨房，进去之前顺手将边柜上的唱片机点开。）

(A gentle tune fills the room, and Yoohee cannot stop herself from lightly swaying her body to the rhythm...)（温柔的曲调飘荡在客厅里，幼熙忍不住随着旋律轻轻晃动身体。）

YooheeWhat a cozy song... Let me see...好温馨的曲子呀……让我查查看……

KseniaDance in Dreams, I think. A rearrangement of a classic piece... What was it called again?是《梦中舞步》吧。好像是从某一首古典乐曲改编而来的……是什么来着？

YooheeWait, let me have a look... Yeah, that's the name. A rearrangement of the piano piece "Rêve d'amour", and it's quite popular as a holiday song these days!嗯……我查查……确实是这个名字，是由钢琴曲《爱之梦》改编而来的，现在作为节日歌曲流行呢！

NagantHow do you know this stuff?你怎么还知道这个？

KseniaIt played in the shop I part-timed at.做兼职的店里有放过啦。

(Yoohee reads about the piece on her terminal as Nagant and Ksenia chatter, taking in the living room's furnishings.)（幼熙摆弄着终端，仔细查看歌曲介绍，一旁的纳甘和科谢尼娅随意地聊着天，观察着客厅的陈设。）

(Soon after, the rich aroma of butter and cinnamon comes drifting forth from the kitchen.)（不一会，从厨房的方向，牛油和肉桂的香气飘了出来。）

YooheeOoh! That's—butter cookies and cinnamon biscuits!好香！这个味道是——黄油饼干和肉桂面包！

BowenImpressive, being able to tell from the smell alone.厉害啊，只闻味道就知道我拿了什么。

YooheeHehe, I'm pretty familiar with what different sweets smell like.嘿嘿，我对各种甜品的味道可是相当了解呢。

BowenI got these from "Passion". Have you heard of the place?这些是从“热情”买的，不知道你们听没听过。

YooheePassion...“热情”……

(Yoohee flips through messages on her phone.)（幼熙快速翻看手机上的消息。）

YooheeThat's the place Sharkry-seonbae was talking about!夏克里前辈说的甜品屋就是这家！

BowenIt's pretty famous here in LUB-01. It's positioned on a shopping street, and there's often people queuing up outside.“热情”在LUB-01很有名，店面开在步行街上，经常排队。

BowenDon't be shy, eat whatever you like. I bought plenty.别客气，想吃什么随便拿，我买了很多。

YooheeAh, sorry...抱歉……那个……

BowenWhat, is it not to your taste?怎么了，不合你的口味吗？

YooheeNo-no, I just do work related to dancing. I need to watch my weight.没有没有，我在从事舞蹈方面的工作，需要合理控制体型。

BowenDolls can get fat?人形也会长胖？

YooheeWe can't, but the other dancers all control their weight. I want to learn from them and train my mental fortitude this way!人形是不会长胖的，但舞蹈演员们都会控制体型啦，我想学习他们，通过这种方式来锻炼心智坚韧度！

BowenI see, what a shame...这样吗，那真是太可惜了……

(Bowen places the tray full of cookies on the table. Just as he lets go, Lumi runs over with an immense excitement.)（说着，波文把盛满糕饼的盘子放在桌子上，他刚刚松手，卢米兴冲冲地跑了过来。）

LumiCookie, cookie, Passion, cookie.饼干，饼干，热情，饼干。

BowenHere you go. Don't go throwing it about.给，拿去吧，可不要随处乱丢哦。

(Bowen caresses Lumi's shell, picking up a biscuit and placing it on Lumi's round head.)（波文摸了摸卢米的外壳，抓起一块肉桂饼干，放在它圆圆的头顶上。）

YooheeThat little guy has a gastral module?这么小的机器人，竟然也能安装进食模块？

BowenAh, no. I just like to sate Lumi's curiosity. It can't actually eat.你误会了，我只是想满足卢米的好奇心，它并不能真的进食。

YooheeFeels like you two get along real well. You don't treat it like a robot at all, with the way you touch its head so often.感觉教授和卢米的关系真好，您经常抚摸卢米的脑袋，完全不像是在对待一个机器人。

BowenHaha, is that so?呵呵，是吗？

BowenLumi is something my late wife left behind. Its existence is... special to me.卢米是我亡故的妻子留下的遗物，它的存在，对我来说……比较特殊。

YooheeAh... The lady who loved flowers, right?啊……是刚刚说起的那位，爱花的女士吧？

YooheeShe's... I-I'm sorry...她已经……我、我很抱歉……

BowenIt's fine, no need.没关系，不必向我道歉。

(Bowen smiles bitterly, taking a sip from his teacup.)（波文露出一丝苦笑，拿起桌上的茶杯，抿了一口。）

BowenBefore Doll technology became common, my wife was dedicated to the field of machine learning and led a research team for the integration of AI with robotics.在人形技术出现之前，我的妻子一直投身于机器人学习领域，并带领团队研制智能机器人。

BowenBut even after she passed from illness, the program never managed to break past its technological bottleneck.但是，直到她患上重病，离开人世，智能机器人项目也没能突破技术瓶颈。

BowenBecause of the lack of progress on a technological level, the funds for the program were eventually cut, and things came to an end.因为一直无法在技术方面取得进展，最终，项目投资中断，不得不被终止。

BowenLumi was the first sample my wife created, and the only prototype.卢米便是我的妻子制作的第一台样品，也是唯一的原型机。

YooheeDid you keep Lumi to continue developing it?所以您留下了卢米，想要继续开发它吗？

BowenMy field of research is not the same as my wife's. I've added many functions to Lumi that are my own research, but there's nothing I can do for the AI in it. My work can hardly be called development.我和妻子的研究领域不同，虽然给卢米装了不少自己研制的功能，但没法让它在人工智能方面升级，说不上是继续开发。

BowenTo me, its growth is more like a little kid's. I teach it what I know, bit by bit. Lumi is... very important to me.卢米的成长对我来说，更像是在养孩子，把自己会的东西，一点一点地教给它。卢米……它对我很重要。

(A certain gentleness appears on Professor Bowen's face as he speaks of Lumi and his wife. Yoohee suddenly gets a feeling that she shouldn't interrupt his reminiscence.)（波文教授提起亡妻和卢米时神情柔和，幼熙一时觉得，最好还是不要打扰沉浸在回忆中的对方。）

(Regrettably, Ksenia takes no note of the conversational atmosphere over here, her attention captured by the flowers used in the indoors furnishing.)（但遗憾的是，注意力完全放在室内装饰的鲜花上的科谢尼娅完全没有注意到这边的谈话气氛。）

KseniaLumi's AI is pretty impressive, though. It was this good back then?可我感觉卢米的AI水平不低，那个时候就这么厉害了？

NagantYeah, the security bots from Security Management aren't on the same level at all.是啊，治安管理处的那些安保机器人都比不上它。

BowenIt's nothing compared to the Dolls of today, but back then, Lumi had a high-performance AI for sure.和现在的人形没得比，但放到当时，卢米确实是排名靠前的高性能AI。

BowenJust think of it as a product of things now obsolete.你们就当它在吃老本好了。

YooheeI see.原来如此。

YooheeRight, I nearly forgot why I was here! Professor, about the artificial snow...对了，差点忘了正事！教授，关于人工降雪的技术支持……

BowenCould you tell me why you need this artificial snow and what you plan to use it for?可以先告诉我，你想要申请人工降雪的理由和用途吗？

YooheeWhy...我的理由……

(Mincing her words a little, Yoohee tucks her hands away behind her back, running her index fingers together.)（幼熙有些扭捏，双手背在身后，摩擦着食指。）

YooheeMe and the others in my dance squad have a performance that's very important to us coming up. I wanted to add some falling snow in the middle of the routine to give it a little oomph...有一场对我和我的队员们非常重要的舞蹈演出，我希望可以在舞蹈中加入一段落雪的表现，以便达到最好的表演效果……

YooheeEven since the proliferation of Collapse radiation, people haven't had the chance to see new, white snow. The fantasy of snow is a key element of our dance's very essence. So I wanted there to be snow at the climax of the routine, even for just a minute.自从坍塌辐射肆虐以来，人们已经太久没有看到过白色的新雪了，对于雪的幻想贯穿我们这支舞蹈的始终，所以我希望在高潮时能够有雪降落，哪怕只有一分钟！

Bowen...Looks like this is a request I can't say no to.……看来，这是一件我必须要帮忙的事情。

YooheeEh?欸？

(Yoohee looks at Bowen in surprise.)（幼熙惊讶地看着波文。）

BowenIf it's in a small radius for a short time, and I can be there for tech support, I think Lumi should be able to manage it.如果只需要短时间的小范围落雪，并且有我在一旁提供技术协助的话，我想卢米应该没有问题。

BowenI can use this chance to get another round of experimental data. I'm sure that data gathered in a practical scenario will be valuable.正好我也可以借此机会，再收集一轮测试数据，相信结合实际的应用场景，数据会更加真实有效。

YooheePerfect! Thank you, Professor!太好了！教授，谢谢您！

(Yoohee jumps with joy, a blush spreading across her cheeks.)（幼熙高兴地跳了起来，红晕浮现在她的脸颊。）

BowenNot so fast. My agreement alone is not enough.先别急，只有我同意还不行。

BowenMm... It might sound a little silly, but I would like to respect Lumi's wishes.嗯……虽然说起来有点可笑，但我希望能够遵从卢米的意愿。

Yoohee...As a Doll, I'm truly happy to meet someone who respects and loves machines like you do.……作为人形，能遇到像教授这样尊重、宠爱机械的人，我很开心。

BowenSo long as you do not mind. Lumi, come here, please.你不介意就好。卢米，过来一下。

Bowen...Lumi?……卢米？

NagantI saw it run upstairs with the cookie on its head. Should I help you fetch it?我看到它刚刚顶着饼干跑到二楼去了，需要我帮忙去把它叫下来吗？

BowenIt's alright, I'll go alone.没关系，我自己去吧。

(Bowen walks upstairs, but descends alone five minutes later.)（波文走向二楼，五分钟后却独自一人走了下来。）

BowenSorry, did you really see it go upstairs? I can't find it anywhere...抱歉，你真的看到它上楼了吗？我怎么到处都没找到……

KseniaYeah, I saw it too.是真的，我刚才也看到了。

BowenCrap, did it run off again?糟了，它不会又跑出去了吧？

YooheeLet's not jump to conclusions, Professor. You take another look inside, and I'll help look around outside.教授，别着急，您在屋子里再找找看，我也去外面帮您找找。

NagantKsenia and I will help as well. The flowers you gave us are precious, and we can't just take them for free.我和科谢尼娅也一起好了，毕竟教授给我们的花很贵重，不能白拿。

KseniaMhmm—嗯嗯——

KseniaWait, I gotta go too?等等，我也去？

NagantWhat, are you not coming?怎么了，你不去吗？

KseniaWell, my senior's already agreed, so I must follow in her tracks...好吧，既然前辈都同意了，我这个后辈当然要追随前辈的想法啦。

BowenSorry to bother you with this again.真不好意思，又要麻烦你们跑一趟。

KseniaOh, I was just joking earlier. Please don't pay it any mind, Professor.哎呀，我刚才也是开玩笑的啦，教授你不要在意。

KseniaIf we make any discoveries, we'll contact you immediately.要是我们有了发现，一定会第一时间通知你。

Yoohee - Recollection Node III 幼熙·回溯节点III

CommanderData organization is going smoothly so far.截止到目前，数据梳理都很顺利。

CommanderNever thought that you would run into Nagant and Ksenia there.没想到，当时你还见到了纳甘和科谢尼娅。

YooheeYeah! I was a bit shocked, too. With how big the world is, running into past companions by sheer chance might as well be a miracle!嗯！我也吓了一跳呢，毕竟世界这么大，能偶遇过去的同伴也可以算是奇迹了吧！

YooheeAnd they helped me out a lot back then, too. I haven't gotten the chance to thank them properly since I got onboard.而且，当时也多亏了她俩帮忙，我上车之后还没好好谢过她们呢。

YooheeHmm... Maybe I should take some flowers with me? What do you think, Commander?嗯……带束花去怎么样？指挥官觉得呢？

CommanderThat's a good idea. Expressing your thoughts with flowers is a holiday tradition, too. It might be difficult to get real flowers in the contamination zone, though. What flowers were you thinking of?不错，而且用花来表达心意也正好是节日传统。不过，污染区里可能很难搞到新鲜的花朵，你想送什么花？

YooheeHmm... What flowers are good for expressing gratitude? Let me think... how about carnations?唔……表达谢意的花有什么呢，我想想……康乃馨怎么样？

CommanderUh, carnations might be a little too... Well, maybe Nagant would be happy with that?呃，康乃馨会不会太……但是纳甘说不定会开心？

YooheeRight? Carnations express both gratitude and respect. Ksenia... I feel like she'll like any flower so long as it's made out of Sardis Gold, haha!对吧对吧，康乃馨既能表达感谢，也能表达尊重。科谢尼娅的话……总觉得她会喜欢萨狄斯金做成的花呢，哈哈！

YooheeRight, do you have any flowers you're fond of, Commander?对了，指挥官有喜欢的花吗？

CommanderFlowers I'm fond of? I have a few, but I can't exactly pick out a particular favorite...我吗？喜欢的倒也不少，但要说特别喜欢的一时也说不出什么……

YooheeAh, it's alright, I'm just asking for the sake of it. No need to think too hard!唔，没关系，我也只是随意问问，您不用放在心上！

YooheeHere, let me fill up your tea. There's some dried flowers added into this tea. It adds a nice fragrance, right? If only we had some cookies to go with it.我再给您添点茶吧，这个茶里也添加了风干的花朵，很香吧？如果能搭配黄油饼干就更好了。

(She interrupts my thoughts with her cheery tone. I take a good sniff of the liquid's aroma.)（幼熙用开朗的语气打断了我的思考，我嗅了嗅杯中的香气。）

CommanderYeah, it's lovely... OK, I think that'll do it. Let's get back to organizing?确实很香……嗯，休息得也差不多了，我们继续梳理吧？

YooheeYeah, of course!完全没问题哦！

Escape Ruckus 逃跑风波

(After leaving Professor Bowen's home, the group returns to the streetside.)（从波文教授的家中离开后，一行人回到了步行街上。）

YooheeSorry, excuse me, excuse me...抱歉，请让一让，请让一让……

YooheeThere's so many people here. Just why is this place so packed?人真的好多，为什么会这么拥挤呢？

KseniaThis is the commercial district, after all. The place ahead is where you sign up for the competition too.本身这里就是商业街，前面还是比赛的报名场地。

KseniaThe signup area is decked out with special decorations. Whether you plan to participate or not, you should go take a look.报名场地有特别的装饰，估计不管是否打算参赛，大家都想去看看吧。

YooheeI first ran into Lumi in a populated area, too. Could it have... If it really starts running amok, things could get bad!最初见到卢米，也是在人群聚集的地方，它该不会……要是真的引起骚乱就不好了！

NagantHmm... Ah, Lumi asked for a cinnamon biscuit from the Professor earlier. Is there a chance it could have made its way to the dessert shop?嗯……啊，卢米之前不是跟教授要了一块肉桂饼干吗，会去甜品屋也说不定？

NagantThe shop happens to be on this street, too. How about we split up and check both locations?那家店正好也在这条街上，不如我们分头行动，把两处地点都确认一下？

YooheeI'll go to the dessert shop. I promised Sharkry-seonbae that I'd take some photos of the shop for her, so it works out for me. I'll be able to scope out the place, in a way.我去甜品屋吧，正好之前答应给夏克里前辈拍些照片，就当是提前找下位置。

KseniaI should go with my good senior here to the dessert place.还是我和前辈去吧。

KseniaThere's too many people around the signup area. It'll reduce her efficiency in the search.报名场地附近的人太多了，会影响纳甘前辈的搜索效率。

(Ksenia taps the top of her own head, hinting Yoohee that Nagant's short stature would make her disappear in a crowd.)（科谢尼娅摸了摸自己的头顶，向幼熙暗示纳甘的身高。）

NagantKsenia, you're having a dig at me again, aren't you?科谢尼娅，你又在说我坏话！

KseniaNo way! I'd be more than willing to walk a few extra steps to the dessert shop for the sake of my senior.哪有，为了照顾前辈，我愿意多走几步路去甜品屋。

NagantI suppose I'll believe you.姑且相信你好了。

NagantWe'll be off, Yoohee. Let's meet back here in 20 minutes.幼熙，我们先过去了，20分钟后在这里集合。

YooheeYeah, see you then.好，一会见。

(Yoohee temporarily separates from the two, traversing a cramped street and moving toward the signup area.)（幼熙与两人暂时分开，穿过拥挤的人流，走向报名场地。）

(The signups are situated on a plaza in front of a building akin to a shopping mall. Alongside the signup kiosk is a series of stalls that add to the holiday atmosphere, decorated with flowers and souvenirs in a pleasant manner.)（那是百货商场门前类似小广场的地方，除了报名柜台外还设有一些营造节日气氛的小摊，摆着花束和纪念品，布置得非常好看。）

YooheeFinally here... Felt like I was going to be squished flat... Could Lumi be here?终于过来了，感觉整个人都要被挤瘪了……卢米……会在这里吗？

GirlBig brother! There's a little doll dancing on this music box, do you know what these are called?哥哥！这个八音盒上有娃娃在跳舞，你知道他们叫什么吗？

BoyWhat names could a toy have? Let's go home.玩具能有什么名字，快点回家啦。

(Yoohee looks toward the music box the girl gestured at, a piece of holiday merchandise on display at one of the stalls.)（幼熙好奇地看向小女孩说的八音盒，那是摆在小摊上的节日商品。）

(Inside a glass shell is a miniature stage with two gift boxes. Upon being opened, a stout teddy bear and a cute doll of a girl take the stage, beginning to turn.（罩在玻璃罩子里的小巧舞台上摆着两个礼物盒，打开后，一只憨厚小熊和一个可爱的小女孩人偶进入舞台，旋转起来。）

YooheeA doll that dances with a teddy bear... The stage inside is pretty intricate for how small the music box is.是在和小熊跳舞的娃娃吗……这么小的八音盒，舞台做得还挺精致的。

(Yoohee stares for a moment at the spinning music box, getting lost in it.)（幼熙看着旋转的人偶，一时有些出神。）

LumiDance!跳舞！

YooheeYeah! They're dancing—嗯！他们是在跳舞哦——

YooheeEh? Lumi!欸？卢米！

(At the sound of a familiar voice, Yoohee spins on a dime to find Lumi only a few spaces away from her with a few people between them.)（听到熟悉的声音，幼熙猛然转头，发现卢米就在距离她几个身位的不远处，但两人中间挤满了人。）

LumiDance! Dance! Snowing, snowing!跳舞！跳舞！下雪！下雪！

YooheeExcuse me! Sorry, I really need to get through!抱歉请让一下，让我过去！

YooheeDon't run, Lumi!别跑，卢米！

LumiSnow-snow-snow-snow-snow!雪雪雪雪雪！

(Try as Yoohee might to get through the crowd of people, Lumi still slips through her fingertips while pirouetting.)（尽管幼熙努力地越过人群，卢米还是从她的指尖溜走了，还顺便转了几个圈。）

(Just like the little teddy bear inside that music box, but spewing out white foam all the while.)（就像八音盒上的小熊人偶一样，甚至一边转一边吐出了纷纷扬扬的白色泡沫。）

Panicked PasserbyWoah—what is all this wet stuff?哇——这什么东西湿乎乎的！

Panicked PasserbyWhose robot is this? Don't just let it run around!这是谁家的机器人！快来管管它！

Panicked PasserbyAh! Stop spewing that stuff already!啊！你别喷了，快停下！

LumiSnowing! Big snow!下雪！大雪！

(Lumi ejects a massive quantity of foam as the people packed into the space begin to jostle and shove.)（卢米喷出大量泡沫，拥挤的人群顿时乱作一团。）

Doubtful PasserbyWhat is that? Don't get it on me!这什么东西，别往我身上喷啊！

Angry PasserbyThe hell is that white stuff? Stay away!这白色的泡沫是什么，离我远点啊！

YooheeSorry! I'm sorry, that's my—please—'scuse me—thank you!对不起！抱歉，那是我的——请让我——过一下——谢谢！

(Executing a perfect series of maneuvers, Yoohee manages to pin Lumi to the ground without injuring anyone nearby.)（幼熙使用了完美的肌肉控制力，终于在不伤到路人的情况下，成功挤到了卢米身边，慌乱地按住了它。）

(Before the security robots could notice and "arrest" Lumi, Yoohee manages to make her way out of the crowd, still covered in foam.)（在安保机器人注意并“逮捕”卢米前，身上沾满了泡沫的幼熙推着小机器人往人群之外走去。）

(For the sake of keeping their clothes clean, the passersby manage to clear a path.)（为了不让自己的衣服遭殃，路人们勉强让出了一条通路。）

Angry PasserbyKeep a proper eye on your robots, for the love of...管好你的机器人！真是的……

YooheeI'm really sorry!对不起，对不起！

LumiCriminal! Criminal! Snowing! Snowing!坏人！坏人！下雪！下雪！

YooheeNo, no snowing! Just hold on for a second, Lumi!先不要下雪！卢米，忍耐一下！

YooheeRight, I should contact Nagant and Ksenia...对了，先联系纳甘她们……

(Yoohee immediately produces her terminal, calling Nagant.)（幼熙马上拿出终端，与纳甘二人联络。）

YooheeNagant, Ksenia, I've found Lumi!纳甘、科谢尼娅，我发现卢米了！

NagantThis quickly? We're not even at the dessert shop.这么快？我们还没走到甜品屋呢。

YooheeI've sent you my location. Come quickly, I'm afraid it'll—位置发给你们了，快来，我担心它还会——

LumiSnow! Snow!下雪！下雪！

LumiRun—要跑咯——

YooheeWoah!哇！

NagantWhat happened? Are you alright, Yoohee?怎么了？幼熙你还好吗？

YooheeIt ran away again! I loosened my grip for just a moment!它又跑掉了！我就一下没按着它！

Ksenia...How's it so good at running? Does it have some marathon runner's data ingrained into its AI?……这也太能跑了吧？它的AI里是植入了哪个长跑运动员的信息吗？

KseniaFeels like things are getting more complicated.怎么感觉越来越麻烦了。

NagantWell, this is just one part of looking for Lumi! Think of your flowers and stop complaining already.这也是找卢米中的一环嘛！想想你的花束，就别抱怨啦。

NagantCome, let's go to where Yoohee is.走吧，咱们先去幼熙那边。

(The trio chase Lumi across three entire districts, but fail to catch the nimble little robot, only managing to tire themselves out in the process.)（三人追着卢米跑过了三个街区，却始终无法抓住行动灵活的小机器人，只是把自己累得气喘吁吁。）

NagantDamn it... It's too good at running!可恶……太能跑了吧！

YooheeWhere'd it go? Nagant, did you see it go toward—又跑到哪去了啊，纳甘，你刚刚是看到它往这边——

LumiBig Sis!大姐姐！

YooheeEh?欸？

(Yoohee immediately pivots at the sound. Before she can react, Lumi spews out a stream of foam.)（听到声音的幼熙立即回身，不等她反应，卢米喷吐出一连串的泡沫。）

(Her visual module's feed is immediately filled with white, obscuring her vision completely.)（幼熙的视野被瞬间糊住，视觉模块中的画面全部变成白色。）

YooheeI-I can't see! Stupid stubby, stop running!看、看不见了！可恶的小短腿，不要跑！

NagantKsenia, it's going in your direction! Stop it!科谢尼娅，卢米朝你那边去了，快拦住它！

KseniaMan, I'm beat... It's just too fast.真不想动啊……它跑得也太快了。

(Ksenia blocks Lumi's path of escape. The latter quickly adjusts, squirming underneath a nearby stall's table.)（科谢尼娅堵在卢米的逃跑路径上，卢米连忙调转方向，从旁边摊位的桌子下面钻了出去。）

(It runs into the table's leg, shaking and disturbing the wares for sale on it. Nagant makes it over in time, stabilizing the structure.（桌子脚恰巧被卢米撞到，上面的商品摇摇晃晃，好在纳甘及时赶到，扶住了商品。）

MerchantOi! You got eyes or not? Watch it!喂喂！没长眼吗，看着点！

NagantSorry, boss!老板，对不起！

NagantAh, Ksenia, go quickly! We can't lose it again!啊，科谢尼娅，快点追上去，别跟丢了！

KseniaThere's enough people over there to make up a wall... Say, you got any gadgets up your pocket that can make me fly?那边的行人好多，都快要组成人墙了……前辈，有没有什么可以用的飞行道具？

KseniaDo you have one of those, uh... One of those hats with a propeller on them that can make people fly in your collection?前辈的帽子收藏里有没有那种——唔，安装了螺旋桨，戴起来就能让人飞起来的？

NagantThat kinda thing doesn't exist! I wouldn't have it on even if it did!怎么可能会有那种东西，就算有我也不可能随身带着啊！

(Hand on her hat, Nagant manages to get out of the massive crowd with some effort. Just as she moves to continue the pursuit, she finds herself on the pedestrian crossing in the middle of the road.)（扶着头顶的帽子，纳甘奋力地挤出人群，正想继续追赶卢米时，她才发现自己站在步行街外的人行横道上。）

YooheeNagant, look out! The lights are red!纳甘，小心！信号灯还是红色的！

NagantHuh?咦？

(A car blasts by, almost blowing Nagant's hat off her head with the wind in its wake.)（一辆汽车高速通过，带起的风险些把纳甘的帽子吹跑。）

DriverYou got a death wish?找死吗！

NagantSorry, sorry!对不起，对不起！

(Nagant apologizes, moving back to the side of the crossing. Yoohee and Ksenia make their way over.)（纳甘连连道歉，扶正帽子退回人行横道后的等待区域，与此同时，幼熙和科谢尼娅赶了过来。）

KseniaThis is bad... The little guy's nowhere to be found.这下糟了……那个小家伙已经跑没影了。

YooheeNagant, did you see where Lumi ran?纳甘，你刚刚有看到卢米往哪跑了吗？

NagantI didn't see, sorry. The foam trail's gone, too.我没看到，对不起，泡沫的痕迹也断掉了。

KseniaThis is bad... This city's so big, it's going to be impossible to pin it down...这下可麻烦了……卫星城这么大，估计很难再找到它了……

YooheeWell, I'm sure there's another way. Let me think...别急，肯定还有别的办法，让我好好想想……

KseniaHey, isn't that a camera over there?话说，那边是不是有一个摄像头啊？

KseniaHow about we hack into the city's CCTV and see if it's caught Lumi?要不我们黑进卫星城的监控，看看有没有拍到卢米？

NagantWhat are you thinking? That's illegal!想什么呢？这是违法的！

KseniaWell, our circumstances are unique. So long as we're careful and don't get caught, it'll be fine.特殊情况呀，我们稍微注意一些，不被安保系统发现就行了吧。

NagantNo it won't! How can a law enforcement officer like you know the laws and still break them?那也不行，执法人员怎么能知法犯法！

KseniaBut we're not doing anything bad with the CCTV. So long as we don't get caught, no one'll know we ever accessed those systems. If no one knows, then have we really ever been there at all?可我们又没有利用监控做坏事，只要不被安保系统抓住，就没人知道我们黑进去过。 没人知道，就相当于我们从来没有来过。

NagantNo means no! No more of your delusions!这都是你的谬论啦，不行就是不行！

KseniaBut if we just let Lumi roam the streets, it might cause even more trouble.可是，前辈。如果按照卢米在步行街上的表现，它会造成更恶劣的影响也说不定。

KseniaIsn't just letting it be a dereliction of duty? Well, it's not like I mind. Easier to do nothing.放任不管算不算失职呢？我是无所谓啦，不管反而还能轻松一些。

NagantHmm...唔……

(Nagant furrows her brow.)（纳甘皱起了眉头。）

KseniaThink of the action movies. In order to defeat evil, the protagonist must step into the shadows, pitch-black as they may be, right?前辈，想想英雄电影。正义的主角为了打败邪恶，无论多深的黑暗都会亲身涉足，对不对？

NagantI suppose that's how it goes, but—话是这么说啦，但——

KseniaWell, while a certain someone has been fence-sitting, Yoohee's already on the move.在某位前辈瞻前顾后的时候，幼熙已经先一步行动了哦？

(Yoohee nods, already working on a hacking program.)（暂时切出骇入程序的幼熙点点头。）

YooheeI've filtered a series of suitable injection modes.我已经筛选出可以骇入的节点了。

YooheeI'm willing to try anything that can help us find Lumi!只要能找到卢米，我什么都愿意尝试！

YooheeIf the security system catches us... Then I'll just hack the security system, too!如果被安保系统发现……那就把安保系统也一起黑掉好了！

NagantWhy's she so scary all of a sudden?怎么感觉她突然变得可怕起来了？

KseniaI think she's filled with the desire to fight, my good senior.是变得斗志十足吧，前辈。

NagantWell, since we're here already... We might as well help, ah, I mean supervise her!唉，事到如今……我们也去帮帮，哦不，我们要去监督她！

NagantWe can't be using the CCTV for anything other than finding Lumi!除了寻找卢米，不能利用监控干别的！

KseniaAlright, come on, grandma. Let's get a move on.好好好，行动吧前辈。

(Inside Level II.)（二级平层内。）

KseniaI have access to the CCTV systems.我拿到监控系统的控制权了。

NagantGood work!干得漂亮！

NagantKsenia, you help look for Lumi. I'll keep an eye on the security. We need to be careful.科谢尼娅，你们去调查和卢米有关的线索吧，我来监视安保程序。咱们得小心行事。

KseniaEven more work? Please do remember to pay for me for overtime.怎么又加活了，前辈，加班费记得安排一下哦。

NagantAs if I can afford to. Keep all of the money from reselling the flowers, if you really insist.我哪给得起，不行倒卖花束的钱你都自己留着吧。

KseniaNo-no, I was just kidding.不了不了，我开个玩笑。

KseniaYet more of this goodie-two-shoes attitude... Unbelievable... What are you supposed to do about this?又是这种老好人的态度……太可怕了……根本防御不了！

YooheeEveryone, I've found something!各位，我找到了！

KseniaYou've found Lumi?发现卢米了？

YooheeNo, just some videos of Lumi. From a few days ago, by the looks of it.不，只是些卢米的影像，而且是前些日子留下来的。

KseniaCan I have a look?可以让我也看一下吗？

YooheeOf course.没问题。

(Ksenia begins to individually inspect the files sent over by Yoohee.)（科谢尼娅收到幼熙传来的影像，开始逐一查看。）

YooheeLook here, that's Lumi hanging around the signup area in the commercial district, right? It's just doing donuts there... It's shown up there several times, too.你们看，这里，是卢米在商业街的报名处那边闲逛吧？ 它还一直在不停地转圈呢……而且，看样子不止来了一次。

NagantWhat a strange system error to have.好奇怪的系统故障。

KseniaNothing's out of the question when it's an error, I suppose.前辈都说是故障啦，发生什么都不稀奇。

NagantAh, it's going to bother those pedestrians again!啊，它又去拉扯路人了！

YooheeLook at the foam on those lawns over there, too. That ought to be Lumi's work.不止这些，看看附近人工草坪上的泡沫，应该都是卢米的“杰作”。

Ksenia(Sigh) The Professor's probably spent a pretty penny paying off fines for its sake. Old dad that really loves his "kid", huh...唉，教授估计没少替它赔钱，这样还不把它关停，真是溺爱“孩子”的老父亲。

YooheeBut why does it move in a pattern like this?可它为什么会有这么多的相似举动呢？

(Yoohee goes through the possibilities with a hand on her chin. Before she can come to any conclusions, Nagant's warning arrives.)（幼熙托着下巴开始测算各种可能，没等她的测算出结果，纳甘的提醒传了过来。）

NagantSecurity's onto us!安保程序察觉到我们了！

KseniaYeah, it's no good without some proper espionage tools...果然，没有使用专业的间谍程序还是不行啊……

NagantEspionage? That's the first thing you think of? Y-you really—间谍程序？你还想用间谍程序！你这家伙，可、可真是——

KseniaPlease, is it really the time to berate me for this? Think of something quickly, or we're going to be busted!好啦前辈现在不是揪我态度的时候吧？赶紧想想办法，要不我们可就要暴露了哦？

NagantSecurity program's about to find us! Yoohee, have you found Lumi?糟糕，安保程序要定位到我们了，幼熙，找到卢米了吗？

YooheeTwo more files left to check! I'll be done in just a moment!还剩下最后两份影像需要查看，马上就好！

Yoohee...There! Lumi's last location... an abandoned building in Zone E3!……找到了！卢米最后出现的位置……在E3区的废弃大楼！

NagantAlright, let's get out of here! Quickly!太好了，我们快点离开二级平层吧！快走快走！

(The moment before the security program raises the alarm, the three cut off their connection, making a clean getaway.)（在安保程序即将提升警戒等级的前一刻，三人中断连接，安全撤离。）

Yoohee - Recollection Node V 幼熙·回溯节点V

YooheeCommander, when the situation calls for it, even, uh, not so proper methods should still be used, right?指挥官，必要的时候，就算是不那么，唔，适当的手段，该用还是要用嘛，您说对吧？

CommanderYou mean when you hacked into the city's CCTV?是在说你们几人入侵城市监控的事吗？

CommanderWell, you didn't use it for anything malicious, and everything ended well.毕竟你们也没用来做坏事，而且导向的结果是好的。

YooheeI know, right? You're the best, Commander!我就知道，指挥官最好啦！

CommanderYou went so far to help Professor Bowen look for Lumi just so you could have some artificial snow? There must be something more at play.你那么拼命帮波文教授找卢米，仅仅是为了得到“人工降雪”？我觉得不止于此。

YooheeEh? Ah... you're right, Commander.欸？唔……您说的没错，指挥官。

YooheeI did initially seek him out because I wanted to use artificial snow for our performance. After knowing what Lumi meant to him, though, I couldn't just let it be...刚开始我确实是因为想在演出中使用人工降雪技术，才去找波文教授的。但得知了卢米对他的意义之后，总觉得不能放着不管……

YooheeAnd before I realized it, I started taking it like a competition with how good Lumi was at running away!而且不知不觉中，也有点和卢米这个擅长逃跑的小家伙较起劲来了呢！

CommanderHaha, that does sound like something you would do.哈哈，这种不服输的性格的确像你。

YooheeHm? Should I take that as a compliment, Commander?嗯？我就当指挥官您是在夸我了哦？

CommanderOf course, if you weren't like that, you wouldn't have been able to continue dancing.当然，如果不是这样的你，也无法一直坚持跳舞吧。

YooheeCommander...指挥官……

YooheeSeriously, getting all sincere all of a sudden. It's embarrassing, you know... but I do like it, hehe!真是的，您突然说得这么认真，真叫人不好意思……嘿嘿，但我喜欢听！

(Her brilliant smile makes me ease up, too.)（看到她明朗的笑容，我的心情也跟着愉快起来。）

CommanderI'm looking forward a little to what's next. Shall we continue?我有点在意接下来的故事了，我们继续梳理吧？

YooheeYep! This is the best part of the "performance"!嗯！接下来可要到“演出”最精彩的地方咯！

Snowchild's Wish 雪孩子的心愿

NagantHuff...呼……

NagantFending off annoying security programs and climbing abandoned buildings at this advanced age of mine, my goodness...我这把年纪，不但要和这么复杂的安保程序周旋，还要爬废弃大楼，真是累死我了……

KseniaDidn't you say it was good to get limber once in a while?前辈，你刚才不是说偶尔活动一下筋骨也不错吗？

NagantYeah, an appropriate amount, but not to this extent!我的意思是适当活动，适当活动啦！

NagantYoohee, are you sure Lumi is here?幼熙，确定卢米的位置在这里吗？

YooheeYeah, its last appearance was entering this place, with no records of it leaving. I think the chances that it's still here are good.嗯，它最后的影像就是走进这栋废弃大楼，没有离开的记录，我认为它大概率会待在这里。

(The building's construction seems to have been cut off right after its roof was erected. Unfurnished windows adorn the mottled concrete walls like black holes, and the structure's reinforcing iron framework is visible in countless places.)（大楼看起来在封顶后就不再施工，未封闭的窗户仿若一个个黑洞镶在斑驳的水泥墙上，楼体内裸露的钢质骨架随处可见。）

KseniaAh, I see some traces of the foam. This should be the place.啊，我看到了泡沫的痕迹了，应该就是这里。

NagantWho knows where Lumi is hiding? This building has more than a dozen floors.也不知道卢米躲在哪，这栋楼可有十多层呢。

YooheeWe'll just have to go floor by floor. These stairs are the only serviceable ones here. If Lumi hasn't left the building, we'll be able to find it.一层层找吧，周围只有这一道楼梯是修好的，只要卢米没有离开大楼，肯定可以找到。

NagantDoes the Professor know about this?教授呢，他知道卢米在这里吗？

YooheeI sent him the coordinates just a moment ago. He said he'll be here soon.我刚刚把位置信息发送过去，他说一会就到。

NagantLet's move up a floor. There's nothing here.我们去上层看看吧，这一层什么也没有。

Nagant...Wait, over there at the stairs... is that Lumi?……等等，站在楼梯口的……是卢米吧？

LumiSnowing! Snowing!下雪！下雪！

(Lumi leaps at the entry to the stairway, running upwards after Nagant looks over.)（卢米在楼梯口跳了两下，看到纳甘发现自己后，立刻向楼上跑去。）

NagantStop right there!站住，别跑！

Nagant gives chase. Lumi runs away, spewing foam upon the stairs as it moves.)（纳甘追了过去，卢米一边跑，一边朝楼梯喷吐泡沫。）

NagantDamn stubby! I'm gonna catch you!小短腿！你跑不掉的，我就要抓到你了！

KseniaAh, look out! Underneath you!前辈！小心脚下！

NagantHuh? Underneath? Eh? Why am I off the ground?啊？脚下？欸，我怎么飞起来了！

NagantWoah—唉哟——

(Slipping on the bubbles, Nagant tumbles down the stairway.)（踩中泡沫的纳甘摔倒在地，顺着楼梯滚了下去。）

(Yoohee immediately approaches, helping Nagant up.)（见状，幼熙赶紧上前将纳甘扶起。）

NagantTh-thanks...谢、谢谢……

YooheeAre you alright, Nagant?纳甘，你怎么样？

NagantI'm not young like you lot are, but it's just a flight of stairs. I don't break that easily.虽然比不上你们这些年轻人，但也只是从楼梯上摔下去而已，坏不了的。

(Nagant touches her own head, lightly giving her hat a pat after making sure it is still on her head and exhaling a sigh of relief.)（纳甘摸了摸头顶，确认帽子戴在头上之后，轻轻地拍了它两下，松了口气。）

KseniaJeez, be careful!前辈，小心一些啊！

Nagant(Sigh) I really must be old. Can't even avoid a trap set by a little kid...唉，我可真是老了，竟然连“小孩子”的陷阱都躲避不了……

KseniaIf we go by when the systems were created, Lumi might actually be older than you.如果按照制造年限计算，卢米的年纪搞不好比前辈还要大哦？

NagantI mean mental age, mental age!我说的是心智年龄，心智年龄啦！

YooheeI can't help but worry a little. Nagant, are you really okay?还是有些担心，纳甘，真的没事吗？

NagantMy frame's fine! Look, all of my limbs are perfectly good!我的素体很硬朗呢！你看，肢体运转都很灵活！

(Nagant stands up, flexing her body and hopping on the spot.)（纳甘站了起来，在幼熙的面前活动四肢，跳了几下。）

KseniaSo long as she still has her hat, she'll be alright.放心，只要帽子还在，前辈就不会有什么大碍。

NagantCome on, let's go catch that nasty little kid that doesn't respect their elders!我们快点追上去吧，一定要把不爱护前辈的坏孩子抓住！

(The trio carefully move upstairs, following Lumi to the abandoned building's roof.)（幼熙三人小心翼翼地向楼上跑去，一路追着卢米到达了废弃大楼的顶层。）

LumiSnowing! Snowing!下雪！下雪！

(Lumi walks in circles across the empty space, quickly running toward the edge at the sight of Yoohee.)（卢米正在大楼顶层中央的空地上原地转圈，看到幼熙等人出现后，快速跑向空地边缘。）

YooheeLumi, no more of this nonsense!卢米，不要再任性了！

YooheeThe Professor's been worried, looking for you all over! Come back home with us!教授非常担心，一直在到处找你，快点和我们回家吧！

LumiSnowing! Snowing!下雪！下雪！

(Lumi ignores Yoohee, edging ever closer to the edge as it spins.)（卢米没有理会幼熙，反而转着圈圈向空地边缘不断靠近。）

(Without any safety railings in place at the top level of this abandoned building, Lumi is only a few steps away from falling off the edge.)（这栋废弃大楼的顶层还没有安装护栏，只要再走三步，卢米就会掉下去。）

YooheeCome back! It's dangerous!快回来，那边危险！

NagantWe're on the 12th floor!这里可是十二层！

NagantWhat to do... OK, we need to draft up a rescue plan and ensure Lumi's safety!怎么办……嗯，我们现在就制定营救计划，确保卢米的安全！

KseniaA rescue plan? I don't think we need to railroad ourselves like that. It's easy enough to get it to come over here.营救计划？前辈，不用这么上纲上线吧，要让它过来还不简单。

NagantWhat's that head of yours come up with?你又想到什么了？

KseniaWell, Lumi's a little "kid" at the end of the day. All we need is something it's interested in to lure it over.哎呀，卢米就是个“小孩子”嘛，只要找点它感兴趣的东西，把它吸引过来就好。

YooheeAh... Then what is Lumi interested in?唔……那，卢米会对什么感兴趣呢？

KseniaCandy? Toys? I think that's about it for what kids are attracted by?糖果？玩具？小孩子喜欢的，大概也就这些？

YooheeThose things are a bit too mundane, aren't they? Lumi isn't a real little kid, after all.太普通了吧？它又不是真正意义上的小孩子，毕竟是个机器人。

KseniaFor robots, uhh... New batteries, machine maintenance memberships?机器人的话，新款电池，机械保养会员卡？

NagantThose are just your favorites!这是你喜欢的吧！

KseniaWhat do you think Lumi likes, then?那前辈说说，卢米会喜欢什么？

NagantHmm...唔……

(Nagant thinks for a moment, seemingly coming to a conclusion.)（纳甘思考了一会，似乎有了想法。）

(She confidently takes the frontmost position, putting her hands on her hips.)（她胸有成竹地站到最前方，双手叉腰。）

NagantCome back, Lumi! If you listen like a good kid, I'll go buy a nice hat for you!卢米，快点回来！只要你乖乖听话，我就带你去买好看的帽子！

(Lumi cares not for Nagant's pleas. The air almost freezes solid, and silence dominates for a moment.)（听到纳甘的呼唤，卢米纹丝不动，周围的空气仿佛凝固，许久没人接话。）

KseniaLumi's not you... Why would it be interested in hats?前辈，卢米又不是你，怎么可能会对帽子感兴趣……

NagantT-Then I'll go with this!那、那就试试这个！

(Nagant makes a weird face at Lumi.)（纳甘朝卢米做了个鬼脸。）

LumiUuuwwaaaahhrrrgggggggghhzzzzp—呜呜呜咕噜呜呜瓦拉滋啦——

(Nagant only manages to scare Lumi, who moves yet closer to the edge.)（纳甘的举动非但没有成效，受到惊吓的卢米反而更加靠近平台边缘了。）

KseniaThat's no good. Let me handle this.前辈，你这样是不行的，还是看我的吧。

(Ksenia rummages through her pocket, pulling out a piece of candy in the shape of a diamond on a ring. She waves it around in front of Lumi.)（科谢尼娅翻了翻口袋，掏出一枚钻石形状的“戒指糖”，在卢米的面前晃了几下。）

LumiShiny, shiny!亮晶晶，亮晶晶！

(Lumi takes a few steps away from the edge, interested.)（卢米饶有兴趣地往回走了几步。）

YooheeThere we go!有成效了！

KseniaSee? Of course kids like shiny things.看见没，小孩子肯定喜欢亮闪闪的东西啦。

Nagant...That's certainly one way to put it. Kids aren't dragons sleeping on piles of gold.……你这种说法很微妙啊，小孩子又不是睡在金币上的巨龙。

KseniaClose enough~差不多啦~

KseniaAh, no, it stopped again...啊，怎么回事，它怎么停住了……

(Ksenia shakes the "ring" again, but Lumi is unswayed, returning to the roof's edge.)（科谢尼娅再次将“戒指”晃了晃，但卢米无动于衷，再次回到平台边缘。）

KseniaHuh, it doesn't work anymore?奇怪，这个方法不好使了吗？

NagantHehehe, of course you have no experience dealing with children, young as you are.哼哼哼，年轻人果然缺少和小孩子打交道的经验呀。

NagantWatch me. Hya—Ha—看我的，呵啊——哈啊——

(Nagant begins a series of strange movements, crossing her arms in front of her chest.)（纳甘摆起了奇怪的动作，双手在胸前交叉成十字。）

NagantThe hero of justice—Super Galaxyman!正义的使者——银河超人！

(Lumi stares at Nagant, tilting its head.)（卢米看着纳甘，歪了歪头。）

KseniaHey, uh, what are you doing?前辈，你在做什么？

NagantI'm doing Galaxyman's routine! Don't kids like those kinda shows?我在模仿银河超人啦！小孩子不是都喜欢特摄剧吗？

KseniaYou're the only one here who's a fan of that old pre-war stuff here...那种战前的老片子，只有前辈才会喜欢吧……

KseniaSee, Lumi isn't interested at all.你看，卢米完全没有表现出兴趣。

NagantIt's OK, I've got one more trick up my sleeve! Here, the Earth Defense Squad's badge!别急，我还有办法！看，地球防卫队勋章！

(Nagant produces a pin in the shape of a star, raising it up to her head.)（纳甘从腰包中掏出一枚六角星胸针，举到面前。）

KseniaThe paint's falling off that thing. Where the hell did you get it?前辈，这东西都掉漆了，你是从哪里淘来的？

NagantTh-the thrift store...旧、旧货市场……

KseniaIs that so...嚯。

NagantNever mind where I got it from! No little kid can resist superhero merch!不要管它是从哪里来的啦，反正没有小孩子能抵御英雄周边的诱惑！

NagantC'mon, Lumi, get over here! This awesome badge is waiting for you!卢米，快过来吧，帅气的勋章在等着你呢！

LumiStar!小星星！

(Lumi moves a few steps toward the three, but it quickly loses interest, returning to its previous position.)（卢米朝着三人的方向走了几步，但它很快便对勋章失去兴趣，又退了回去。）

YooheeAnother failure...似乎又失败了……

NagantIt can't be! What kind of kid doesn't like superhero stuff?不应该啊，为什么会有不喜欢英雄周边的小孩子！

KseniaThere's no rule saying that has to be the case, right?没人规定小孩子就必须喜欢英雄周边吧？

NagantWe'll need to use more direct methods, then! Let's just grab Lumi!那我们只能使用强硬手段了，直接把卢米抓回来！

(Nagant lowers into a running stance. Just before she sets off, Yoohee's terminal begins to ring.)（纳甘摆出冲刺的架势，她刚要起跑，幼熙的通讯终端响起了音乐。）

LumiMusic! Present!音乐！礼物！

(Lumi approaches again, far more interested than before.)（卢米再次向三人靠近，表现出的兴趣比之前更强。）

KseniaHold on! Lumi's coming over again!等等前辈，卢米又回来了！

NagantOh, is it because of Yoohee's ringtone? That's the track the Professor was playing on the vinyl player back at his house, right?是因为幼熙的通讯终端吗？这铃声是在教授家里用留声机放的那首曲子吧？

YooheeYeah, that's mine. I thought it was a nice tune, so I set it as my ringtone... Ah, a call from Sharkry-seonbae!是我的。我因为觉得好听，就把那首曲子设置成了铃声……啊，夏克里前辈的通讯！

NagantDon't answer it just yet! Look at Lumi!先不要接！你看卢米！

Lumi...…………

(Lumi stops its steps as it hears the music. It quiets down, gradually beginning to spin on the spot.)（听到乐曲的卢米停下了脚步，慢慢安静下来，缓缓地开始原地转圈。）

NagantWhat's it doing?它在做什么？

Yoohee...I can't be sure, but I feel like it's almost dancing.……虽然不能完全确定，但我觉得它好像在跳舞。

KseniaThat can't be it, right? I don't have any neural records of a type of dance that's just spinning around...不会吧？我的心智记录里可不存在完全空转的舞蹈体系。

YooheeBut look, it's spinning exactly to the beat.但是你们看，它的旋转速度和铃声的节奏是一样的。

YooheeIf that's the case... I'm sorry, Sharkry-seonbae!如果这样的话……夏克里前辈，对不住了！

(To keep the music playing, Yoohee declines the call, picking up where the ringtone left off on her terminal. The gentle tune draws Lumi in even further, like a child in a lovely dream.)（为了防止音乐中断，幼熙单方面切断了通讯，并开始播放起这首曲子。温暖的乐音让卢米更加沉醉，如同在酣梦中的孩子一样。）

(Yoohee slowly moves backwards with the terminal in hand. Lumi follows as it spins, leaving the roof's edge.)（幼熙拿着终端慢慢后退，卢米则旋转着跟随，离开了平台边缘。）

YooheeNow!就是现在！

(As Lumi is distracted by the music, Nagant and Ksenia flank it on both sides. Producing a rope from her bag, Nagant quickly hogties Lumi.)（趁着卢米的注意力被音乐分散，纳甘和科谢尼娅从两侧包抄到卢米身边，纳甘从包里掏出绳子，快速将卢米绑了个结结实实。）

NagantPhew—thank goodness I brought the rope just in case.呼——还好我以防万一带了绳子过来。

KseniaThis'll only work for a little bit, right? A kid's tantrum after waking up amplifies their normal temper, you know.但这也只能撑一会吧？孩子睡醒后的“哭闹”会比平时更可怕哦。

YooheeJust tying it up won't do! We need to make sure that Lumi won't go out of control again!只是绑起来还不够！我们要保证卢米不会再次失控！

NagantThen the only thing we can do is get the control permissions to Lumi right now.那也只能趁现在，去夺取卢米的控制权了吧？

KseniaMy goodness... am I really on holiday here? 10 times the normal overtime rate would not cover the effort I've put in today.天啊……我这还是休假吗？十倍的加班费都换不来我这一天的努力。

(Yoohee and Ksenia rush to Nagant's side. Despite her very vocal complaints, Ksenia quickly joins the others in Level II, accessing Lumi's systems.)（幼熙和科谢尼娅赶到纳甘身边，尽管唉声叹气，科谢尼娅也还是干脆利落地和另外两人接入二级平层，骇入了卢米的系统。）

(Shattered pieces of data drift through Level II.)（破碎、零散的数据漂浮在二级平层之中。）

(Yoohee extends a hand to touch one such piece, but to no avail. The data fragment passes through Yoohee, meandering into the distance.)（幼熙伸出手想要碰触，不料指尖一空，闪烁着的数据碎片径直穿过幼熙，飘向更远的地方。）

(The ground beneath them, made of coagulated data, begins to fade and ebb.)（脚下由数据汇集成的地面似乎也因为不规则的数据排列而变得虚浮起来。）

YooheeAll fluttery and fluffy... like snow. Is this Lumi's world?纷纷扬扬的……像下雪一样，这就是卢米的世界吗？

YooheeLevel IIs aren't usually like this at all.可是，一般的二级平层不会这样的呀。

KseniaI'd say that it comes down to Lumi's model, system, and ports being so old they're causing incompatibility with Dolls. Our environment here is becoming unstable, too.我估计，可能是卢米的型号、系统和接口都太原始了吧，与人形不够兼容，导致我们的入侵环境也变得更不稳定了。

YooheeYeah, we'd better find Lumi's logic hub and grab the control permissions. Staying here for an extended period might be dangerous.嗯，我们得快点找到卢米逻辑的中控区，取得控制权限。在这里久留，说不定会发生危险。

NagantYoohee's right, my senses are tingling...幼熙说的没错，老兵的直觉告诉我……

NagantEveryone, over there, on the right! Are those... weird-shaped things approaching us?各位，快看右边！是不是有些奇形怪状的家伙在靠近我们？

(The group looks in the direction Nagant indicates. Behind a shining stream of electricity, information fragments congregate, forming dangerous shapes.)（大家顺着纳甘指的方向看去，在闪烁的电子流后面，一些信息碎片正在聚合，逐渐形成了危险的形状。）

YooheeWhere'd they come from? There's so many!它们到底是从哪里冒出来的，数量好多！

NagantJudging by the shape, they might be viruses. Only viruses can produce such massive blobs of error data.从造型来看，可能是“病毒”吧？只有病毒才能产生这么庞大的错误数据。

KseniaThey're not viruses. Look over there!不是病毒哦，前辈，快看那边！

(Nagant looks over to see data fragments assembling to become new enemies.)（纳甘看向科谢尼娅所说的方向，一些数据残片正在拼接成为新的敌人。）

KseniaThese enemies are all converted from normal data, and we happen to be in a cache area in Lumi's systems.这些敌人都是由正常数据转化而来的，而我们所在的区域又是卢米系统中的缓存区。

YooheeI get it, it's "data overflow"!我明白了，是“数据溢出”！

KseniaYes, the fragments are all legitimate data in and of themselves. But because of their sheer size and the data destruction algorithms, they're taking up a lot of the cache.没错，数据碎片本身都是合法数据，但因为超量以及销毁算法，大量的缓存被占用。

KseniaJudging by the current circumstances, these chunks of data are reflowing into Lumi's operational space. Odds are those pieces of data are the reason Lumi's going out of control.根据目前的环境，这些数据很可能已经开始逆向占据卢米的运行空间，这估计就是卢米失控的原因了吧。

(Ksenia draws her weapon with a flourish, firing two shots towards the enemies formed from streams of data. The shattered fragments spray in countless directions.)（科谢尼娅抽出武器，用潇洒的姿势对着数据流形成的敌人开了两枪，破碎的数据碎片四散开来。）

(Hearing her explanation, Nagant slaps her own forehead.)（听了她的解释，纳甘拍了拍自己的脑门。）

NagantAh! Yeah! That's it!啊！对！确实是这样！

Nagant...Ahem, I mean, of course the young should be knowledgeable about these things! Good, good!……咳、我是说，年轻人果然知识更丰富呢，不错嘛，很不错！

KseniaBehind you!前辈，当心身后！

NagantGah, don't just touch my hat willy-nilly!哇，别随便碰我的帽子啦！

(Nagant destroys the enemy with a single punch. The data fragments fly in all directions, scattered in an instant.)（纳甘一拳将敌人打碎，数据残片瞬间爆裂，飞向四周。）

KseniaNice swing there.可以啊前辈，力道不错。

NagantHehe, I'm not a veteran in name only!哼哼，这就是老兵的实力！

YooheeBack, Nagant! They're reassembling themselves!纳甘，快退后！数据残片又在融合了！

NagantWhat?什么？

(Nagant takes a brisk few steps backwards. The data fragments reconvene, forming a cube.)（纳甘灵活地后撤几步，爆裂的数据残片重新汇在一起，形成一个正方形。）

(The two face off for a dozen seconds, but the cube does not express any desire to attack.)（双方对峙了数十秒，但“正方形”物体却没有表现出攻击意图。）

YooheeIs it not an enemy?不是敌人吗？

NagantThis cube's kind of familiar. Is it—这个正方形很眼熟，好像是——

KseniaIt's a gift box, right?是礼物盒吧？

NagantIt's shaped like one. The bowtie on the top is mimicking a packaging ribbon, right?造型的确很像，上面的蝴蝶结是在模拟打包用的彩带吧？

YooheeIt was attacking us just a second ago, why's it forming a gift box now? Is Lumi trying to tell us something?刚刚还在攻击我们，怎么突然变出一个礼物盒？难道说，卢米想向我们传达什么信息？

KseniaWho knows? With so much erroneous data here, it's impossible to predict how Lumi will act.谁知道呢，到处都是错误数据，完全没法推断卢米的行为逻辑。

YooheeThere might be something inside the box. Let me have a look.礼物盒里可能装着什么，我去看看。

NagantWait, Yoohee, don't touch it just yet!等等，幼熙，先别碰它！

(Yoohee reaches for the box. The moment she makes contact, a gap appears on the top of the box.)（幼熙已经把手伸向礼物盒，在触碰到表面的一瞬，盒子的上方打开了一个缺口。）

(A holographic projection soon appears.)（接着，一道立体影像从中投射出来。）

White First Snows 纯白的初雪

(It depicts a lively woman, pushing a door wide open. She runs towards her husband who walks in her direction, hugging him tightly.)（画面中，一位活泼的女性将大门推开，快步跑向正朝自己走来的年轻丈夫，并紧紧地抱住了对方。）

ReneeI did it, Bowen! A prototype! I've got a prototype!我成功了！波文！原型机！原型机做出来了！

(Renee turns around to shake the camera holder's "hand", waving at her husband—)（兰妮推开丈夫，返身回来，笑着握了握拍摄者的“手”，向丈夫挥舞着——）

(A stubby robotic foot can be seen, the seams of its metallic plates joined with new, shiny bolts.)（那是一截短小的机械外足，板甲的拼合处嵌着崭新而光洁的螺丝。）

ReneeCome say hello, Lumi!卢米，来打个招呼吧！

(The camera angle begins to shift and move, accompanied by the sound of mechanical motors as the surroundings come into view.)（伴随着机械行进的声音，画面缓缓推进，左右旋转，观察着周围的一切。）

Lumi(Squeaking)咕噜嘎嘎——

ReneeIt can only make a few simple sounds right now, but it'll be the future of AI! Professor Bowen, you'll have to redouble your efforts on your research project.它现在只能发出一些简短声音，还不能说话，但它会是人工智能的未来！波文博士，你的研究课题要加油喽。

(The somewhat blurry video takes in the environment and the happily smiling couple—)（不算很清晰的画面，将环境信息以及眼前嬉笑的夫妻二人全部记录下来——）

Owner Info Updated>_ Renee Candela_ Bowen Candela_持有者信息变更>_ 兰妮·肯德拉_ 波文·肯德拉_

(The video cuts off. The gift box splits into pieces, scattering to the wind and mixing into the surrounding streams of data.)（影像到此中断，礼物盒分裂成碎片，四处飘散，融入了周围的信息流中。）

YooheeWas that man Professor Bowen? And the woman ought to be... his wife? Her name's Renee?影像里的男人是波文教授吗？那旁边的女性，应该就是……他的妻子？是叫兰妮？

KseniaMost likely, but... These video files should be within a storage drive. It's all mixed up in the cache, so it follows that Lumi's data processing has gone wrong somewhere.大概吧，不过……这些影像本该存在硬盘空间里才对，现在全都塞在缓存区，果然卢米的数据处理已经出现故障了。

KseniaIf we can solve the data overflow problem, Lumi might be able to go back to normal.如果能解决数据溢出的问题，卢米或许就能恢复正常了？

YooheeYeah, but I'm a little curious why these data fragments turned into a gift box...嗯，不过我有点在意，为什么数据残片会变成礼物盒……

NagantLook, there's more ahead!你们看，前面又出现了！

YooheeThe fragments are coalescing again... Huh? Another box?数据残片又在进行融合……咦，怎么还是礼物盒？

(Yoohee approaches the newly formed gift box.)（看着新出现的礼物盒，幼熙走了过去。）

YooheeThis is the second time now. I can't help but feel... there's some kind of meaning to this.这是第二次出现了，我总觉得……它很可能是有意义的。

KseniaHard to guess what a silly kid is thinking. Might as well see what's inside this time.熊孩子的想法可不好猜，还是先看看礼物盒里装了什么吧。

(Yoohee touches the box's surface. A projection appears, just like before.)（幼熙触碰礼物盒的表面，和之前一样，立体影像投射了出来。）

(The image this time is much clearer.)（这次的影像要清晰一些。）

(The room's lights are off. Moonlight spills in from the outside, exceptionally bright in the darkness. Renee sits in a rocking chair by the window, with Bowen at her side.)（室内没有亮灯，从窗外洒进来的月光就显得非常明亮。兰妮盖着毛毯靠坐在窗边的摇椅上，波文站在她身旁。）

(The unknown amount of time that had passed left its mark on them, be it shallow or deep. Renee appears a little more sickly than before.)（未曾看到的空白岁月，在他们的脸上留下或深或浅的痕迹，兰妮比之前看上去要瘦弱一些。）

BowenSorry, work tied me up a little. Sorry for being late... I brought some flowers.抱歉，项目上有些事情，回来晚了……我给你带了花。

BowenI handed some work over to my assistant. From tomorrow on, I should have a lot more free time.我把工作交给了助手，从明天开始，时间能充裕不少。

(Renee accepts the bouquet with a smile, the white flowers inside akin to patches of pure white snow.)（兰妮微笑着接过精美的花束，白色的小花像一片纯白的初雪。）

ReneeI know you've been busy, it's alright.我知道你最近很忙，没关系的。

ReneeHas the project been progressing as normal?怎么样，项目在按照计划正常推进吗？

BowenNaturally. "Artificial Snow" has been established, and is now seeking investment.当然，“人工降雪”顺利立项，已经在寻找投资了。

ReneeThen the project's full realization...已经立项了，那距离正式启动……

ReneeIt might still need some time, but there's hope now. I really do miss it, the snow we had when we were little. Do you think we'll be able to see it again?虽然还需要一段时间，但有希望了。真的很怀念呀，小时候看到的雪，还能再出现吗？

BowenOf course. We'll have pure white snow falling from the sky again. You, me, Lumi, and everyone else will be able to have this blessing from the sky. It'll be my gift to you.当然可以。 纯白的雪会再次降落，你、我、卢米，还有世界上的所有人，都能重新感受到这份来自天空的馈赠，这也将是我送给你们的礼物。

(At the sound of its own name, the holder of the camera wobbles a little.)（听到自己的名字，镜头微微地晃动了一下。）

LumiSnowing! Snowing!下雪！下雪！

(Mechanically repeating the word, it approaches the couple a little.)（单词被机械地重复着，镜头向教授夫妇又靠近了一些。）

ReneeBowen... Lumi and the snow were both my wishes, but it looks like I will have to leave it to you to fulfil them...波文……卢米和雪，本来都是我的愿望，现在却好像只能拜托你去继续完成……

(Bowen crouches, taking his wife's hand and gently kissing it.)（波文半蹲下来，牵起妻子的手，轻轻地落下亲吻。）

BowenThere was a time, my research went unnoticed by everyone—except you. Only you would discuss it with me deep into the night.曾经我的课题无人在意，只有你才会陪我讨论到深夜。

BowenFrom the moment I asked for your hand, your wishes have been mine as well.从向你求婚的那一刻起，它们也就都是我的愿望。

BowenI only wish that this program could move along faster, just a little bit.我现在只希望，这个项目正式启动，能快一点，再快一点。

(The camera turns towards the window. The moon had already sequestered itself behind the clouds, and even the stars are difficult to perceive.)（镜头再次转向窗外，月亮已经藏进了云层后，夜空漆黑，连群星都难以得见。）

Command Entry>_... ... ... ...***... ... ... ...*... ...*...…… …… ***…………*……*…

(The voices grow muffled. The images flash a few times before the projection cuts off again.)（声音渐渐模糊，画面连续闪烁后，立体影像再次中断。）

YooheeSo the snow and Lumi were both Renee's wishes... He hasn't stopped in all those years, even after Renee's passing.原来降雪和卢米，都是兰妮的心愿……这些年来，即使兰妮离世，他也没有停下。

NagantNo wonder Lumi is so important to him.怪不得他会那么重视卢米。

KseniaYou do realize this was filmed a long time ago, right?你们发现没，影像的拍摄时间距离现在都很远了。

YooheeYeah, the Professor looks way younger than he is now.确实，画面中的教授比现在年轻得多。

KseniaI've got a good guess. When Lumi was built, the technology wasn't as developed. In order to allow it to learn by itself, Renee set it to intake information as frequently as possible. Unfortunately, the filtering and selection of the intake seems to be flawed.我有个推测，卢米出产的年代，技术还不够成熟。 兰妮为了让它可以进行自学习，所以设置了高频率的信息抓取功能。 可惜在信息过滤和筛选方面却不够完善。

YooheeSo it cannot judge for itself which information should be retained, and which should be deleted?所以它无法自主判断哪些信息需要留下，哪些可以删掉？

KseniaYeah, and the Professor's field of study is different. Chances are he doesn't dare to modify Lumi's programming without a very good reason, and so would never have figured out that the problems are caused by this internal conflict.是的，教授的研究领域和兰妮不一样。 他应该也不敢轻易修改卢米原本的程序设计，就更不可能发现故障的原因来自卢米自身了。

NagantThat would make sense. The Professor has been loading Lumi with more and more information these years, too. If its ability to organize and tidy up data is far lesser than its intake, the system's operational capacity is bound to be taken up. It follows that Lumi keeps having failures even after repairs each time.嗯，有道理。教授这些年还一直在给卢米录入新的信息，数据清理的频率和力度远远小于输入的话，系统运行空间还是会被赘余挤占。那卢米每次被修复之后又会再次崩溃也就说得通了。

Yoohee...I'm still confused about one thing, though. Just now, these projections have appeared via the form of gift boxes. Once would be written off as a coincidence, but there are countless forms that gathering data logically takes... The odds are just too low. There must be some deeper logic.……不过我还有一点疑惑。这一路入侵过来，每次这些影像都以礼物盒的方式出现。 第一次还能理解为巧合，但是数据的逻辑拼接结果有无数个……再次出现的几率太低了，这一定还有更深层的原因。

NagantCould it be that there's a gift Lumi wants?难不成是因为卢米想要什么礼物？

NagantSo if we give the correct gift to Lumi, like we're appeasing a child, the problem might go away.要这么说，只要我们像哄小孩一样把正确的礼物送给卢米，说不定就解决问题了。

KseniaDo we really need to go down that rabbit hole, my good senior?也不必想得这么复杂吧前辈？

KseniaThe data overflow here's pretty severe. The entirety of Level II is messed up, and we can't predict its actions using normal logic.卢米的数据溢出严重，整个二级平层都处于混乱当中，不能用常规思维去推测它的行为。

YooheeYeah, our priorities are still to continue toward the control center and acquire the control permissions. Then the Professor can run some checks, and maybe then we'll have the answers.嗯，当务之急还是继续向中控区入侵，等夺取到卢米的控制权，让教授检测一遍，也许我们就知道答案了。

NagantThe control center is right up ahead.前面就是中控区了。

NagantIt's just way too quiet here. I haven't heard a peep of... anything, and the defense systems are quiet too. Those data overflow enemies from before haven't appeared again either. There might be an ambush.可是，附近也太安静了，一点声音也没有，防御系统也没有响应…… 之前那种数据溢出产生的敌人也没有再出现，说不定会有埋伏。

KseniaOh, don't just say those things. If there really was—前辈，可不能随便说这种话，万一真的有——

YooheeNagant, Ksenia, over to the right!纳甘，科谢尼娅，快看右边！

(Ksenia is interrupted by Yoohee. A hulking beast comes into the purview of her visual models.)（科谢尼娅被幼熙打断，看向幼熙示意的方向，一个庞然大物映入她的视觉模块当中。）

(The great machine spins in place. Ksenia's attention is pulled to the giant gift box floating above its head.)（巨大的机械在原地转动着，科谢尼娅的注意力被它头上漂浮着的巨大礼物盒所吸引。）

(A crowd of smaller defense bots gather around the massive beast.)（在巨大机械身边，还簇拥着一些小型防御机械。）

KseniaI... I knew it would turn out like this...果然，我就知道会变成这样……

NagantI-it's so tall!好……好高！

NagantJudging by the visual module feedback, it should be around 5 meters tall!根据视觉模块回传的图像进行测算，它的高度应该在五米左右！

YooheeI can't help but feel it looks familiar. The way it turns about too... could this thing be Lumi?总觉得它的形象有些熟悉，还有它不断转动的样子，这个大块头……难道是卢米吗？

NagantThere are some similarities, but only a few. Maybe the corrupted data is influencing things.有些相似的地方，但又不完全一样。可能也是受到了错误数据的影响吧。

YooheeWhy would Lumi appear in its own Level II, though?但是卢米为什么会出现在自己的二级平层里？

NagantThis should be the form the system firewall takes. The gift box, then, should be the system core.它应该是系统防火墙的拟态，那个礼物盒则是系统核心的拟态。

NagantLumi protecting the "gift" is in reality the firewall, protecting the system core.“卢米”守护着“礼物盒”，其实就是防火墙在保护系统核心。

KseniaWhat is it with the gift boxes...怎么又是礼物盒……

KseniaYeah, Yoohee's probably right about this one.我现在也觉得，幼熙的猜测是对的。

NagantSee, young'un, better to slow down a little sometimes.所以说嘛，年轻人不要天天想当然。

KseniaYes, yes, I understand.是是是，前辈教育的是。

YooheeIf the gift boxes are some sort of hint from Lumi, then what's it really trying to get across?如果礼物盒确实是卢米给我们的提示，那它的真实意图是什么呢？

YooheeEverything it does is completely devoid of logic. There's nothing to be deduced here...它的各种行为毫无逻辑，根本提炼不出答案……

KseniaWe can ponder that after the controls are ours. We should think about how to get past this firewall first.这个问题可以拿到控制权限后再慢慢考虑，我们还是先想想怎么突破防火墙吧。

Lumi...Gift...……礼物……

(Before the trio close the distance, the massive "Lumi" suddenly stops spinning. Countless data fragments emerge, flying toward it.)（没等三人靠近，巨大的“卢米”突然停止了转动，无数的数据碎片从四面八方向它飞去。）

("Lumi"'s body becomes even larger, affected by the fragments.)（受到影响，卢米的身躯变得更加巨大。）

NagantDamn it, our presence here must be making the system errors more severe!糟了，一定是我们的入侵行为让系统故障程度加深了！

KseniaWe can't let this continue, or Lumi's original base code will be influenced as well! Senior, Yoohee, let's go!不能任由它这样崩溃下去，不然卢米原本的中控代码也会被影响！前辈，幼熙，我们上吧！

YooheeYeah! We'll deal with the defense bots first and then focus on "Lumi"!嗯！我们先解决“卢米”身边的防御系统机械，然后再集中力量对付“卢米”吧！

(Nagant nods, and the three approach the defense systems together.)（一旁的纳甘点点头，三人一起靠近了防御系统机械。）

Dance of Prayer 祈愿的舞步

(Renee looks even weaker than before. The veins upon her shriveled arms pop outwards, with a jarring intravenous line connected to it.)（兰妮比之前看到的更加瘦弱，干枯的手臂上血管明显，输液管锐利的针头扎在上面，显得非常突兀。）

(Renee struggles to keep her eyes open, her exhalations forming a thin layer of mist on the mask she wears.)（兰妮努力睁着眼睛，呼出的气体给面罩覆上一层朦胧的雾。）

(A television in front of her plays a dated recording. In the recording a girl places her hand on a young gentleman's waist, and the two proceed towards the dance floor.)（眼前的电视机里播放着更加老旧的录像。录像中，少女将手搭上了身边年轻男士的臂弯，两人轻快地走向舞池。）

ReneeLumi...卢米……

(The camera moves close to Renee at the sound. A shriveled hand slowly reaches over.)（听到呼唤，镜头慢慢靠近兰妮，枯槁的手轻轻地覆过来。）

ReneeI'm sorry... The project will have to continue without me...对不起……项目，我无法继续下去了……

ReneeAnd Bowen's snow...连同波文的雪……

(The recording draws Renee's attention. She fails to continue her sentence.)（兰妮的注意力被录像所吸引，没有能再说下去。）

(In the television she moves to the music with Bowen, still young and lively.)（电视里，年轻的她与波文在舞会厅中跟随节奏旋转。）

(A flower in full bloom rests upon her breast. To the tune of "Dance in Dreams", the swaying hems of Renee's dress form lilting green waves in the air.)（在《梦中舞步》的旋律中，兰妮飞扬的裙摆在半空中荡漾成浅绿色的波浪，她的前襟上别着一朵盛开的鲜花。）

ReneeThat year, the man who knew only research... At the winter ball, he asked me for his first dance with a red face.那一年，这个每天只知道研究课题的人……在冬日舞会上，红着脸请我跳了第一支舞。

ReneeLumi... If it were possible, I really would like to have one more dance with him... To watch the first snow fall, to see the white all around... Even for just a few seconds...卢米……如果可以的话，我真的好想和他再跳一支舞……和他一起看新雪飘落，在纯白的雪中……哪怕只有几秒也好……

Data Log>_...………… ………………………… ………………

(Not long ago, the defense machines destroyed by Yoohee and the others had formed a new gift box. Its contents revealed themselves to them upon a touch.)（不久前，被幼熙三人击溃的防御机械组成了新的礼物盒。触碰礼物盒，她们看到其中储存的记录。）

(The video recording ends. The gift box turns into fragments, flying toward the giant "Lumi". Yoohee redirects all of her computational power, going over the information she collected.)（影像记录中断，礼物盒化作数据残片，向巨大化的“卢米”飞去。幼熙调用全部算力，将自己获得的信息全部梳理了一遍。）

YooheeGifts... Snow... Dancing... I got it, I understand it all now!礼物……下雪……跳舞……我明白了，我全都明白了！

(Yoohee's voice attracts Nagant's attention.)（幼熙的声音引起了纳甘的注意。）

NagantYoohee, have you found anything yet?幼熙，你那边有发现了吗？

YooheeYeah! We're putting too much thought into it. The gift box doesn't mean that it wants a present!嗯！我们还是想得太复杂了，礼物盒的含义不是它想得到礼物！

YooheeAll of this data... might not even be uncleared clutter, but something that Lumi treasures as a gift! To it, every day it spent with the Professor and his wife were a present.那些数据……也许根本就不是未被清理的赘余，而是被卢米作为礼物一直保存着的东西！对它来说，和教授夫妇一起度过的每一天，都是一份礼物。

NagantSo it just kept taking in more and more information until its systems failed?所以它才一直不停地记录，导致自己系统崩溃了吗？

YooheeT-That's not all it is!不、不完全是这样！

YooheeAll of Lumi's operational logic is in the recordings. It isn't spinning around for no reason, nor is it a prank! Lumi—卢米的一切行为逻辑都藏在录像里，它不是在无序乱转，也不是在恶作剧！卢米它——

KseniaDon't just stand there and talk! Look at it!你们别光顾着说话！快看它！

LumiSnow...ing! Snow...ing!下……雪！下……雪！

("Lumi" raises its arm stiffly, spewing out a slurry of data fragments. It falls upon the three like descending snow, beginning to bury them.)（随着“卢米”抬起机械臂的动作，杂乱的数据碎片被喷射出来，像纷飞的雪片一般落在三人身上，大有要将她们掩埋的趋势。）

YooheeIt can snow in Level II?!在二级平层也能下雪吗？！

NagantIs there a way to—Need to, make it stop—有没有什么办法——得让，让它停下，才行——

NagantWoah!哇！

(Vertically disadvantaged, Nagant is soon buried by the avalanche-like data. Only her arms remain visible, grasping at the air.)（身高上处于劣势的纳甘很快被雪崩一般的数据淹没了，只有一双手高高举起在空中乱抓。）

KseniaPfft—Hey, my good senior, see the height of your flaws now?唔——前辈——这下清晰地认识到自己的缺陷了吧！

NagantBwah—唔噗——

(Ksenia grabs Nagant's hand, pulling her up with some effort.)（科谢尼娅抓着纳甘的手，用力将她拔了出来。）

NagantTo be treated like a carrot by my junior at this age...没想到这把年纪了还会被后辈像萝卜一样对待……

LumiLawbreaker! Lawbreaker! Snowing! Snowing!坏人！坏人！下雪！大雪！

KseniaThe overflow's getting worse! We need to make it stop—what can we...数据溢出越来越剧烈了！必须先让它停下才行——有什么办法……

Yoohee...I know! Music! "Dance in Dreams"!……我知道了！音乐！那首《梦中舞步》！

YooheeKsenia, help me pull it up, please!科谢尼娅，帮我调出那首乐曲，拜托你了！

KseniaOkey-dokey, make sure you pay the fee—可以可以，记得支付播放费用——

YooheeHurry up!快点啦！

(Soon after, Level II is filled with beautiful music. As the track begins to play, "Lumi"'s data-spewing pace slows down.)（没过多久，二级平层空间中响起了优美的乐曲。随着音乐响起，“卢米”喷吐数据的速度缓了下来。）

Lumi...Snow... ing... D-d... dan... dance... Gift...…………下……雪……跳……舞……舞舞物……礼物……

NagantOoh—it's working! "Lumi" seems to remember this.哦哦——有效果！“卢米”好像记得这首乐曲。

KseniaWhat next? A more direct approach?接下来怎么办，要上强硬手段吗？

(Ksenia twirls the weapon in her hand, but Yoohee shakes her head.)（科谢尼娅转了转手枪，幼熙却摇了摇头。）

YooheeNo, that might stimulate Lumi's already unstable systems more and cause a total breakdown... We need it to release its control permissions by itself.不行，那样可能会进一步刺激卢米不稳定的心智流程，造成崩毁……我们要让它主动开放权限。

NagantGet it to do that of its own volition... what do we do?主动……要怎么办啊？

YooheeI, I want to... give Lumi a present! Please, help me!我、我想……我想送给卢米一份礼物！请你们帮我一下！

(Yoohee picks out a passage from her neural records—)（幼熙选取了自己心智中的一段记录——）

(The scene when Professor Bowen mentioned Lumi in his home, while the scent of butter cookies drifted through the air.)（那是在波文教授的家里，在黄油饼干的香气中，波文教授提起卢米时的情景。）

BowenLumi is something my late wife left behind. Its existence is... special to me.卢米是我亡故的妻子留下的遗物，它的存在，对我来说……比较特殊。

BowenTo me, its growth is more like a little kid's. I teach it what I know, bit by bit. Lumi is... very important to me.卢米的成长对我来说，更像是在养孩子，把自己会的东西，一点一点地教给它。卢米……他对我很重要。

KseniaWill that bit work?就这么一段记录，能奏效吗？

YooheeI don't know, but we have to try! Please, help me out!我也不知道，但总要试试看！拜托了，帮帮忙！

(With Nagant and Ksenia's assistance, the neural records are packaged as a data fragment. Shining with electric light, the fragment is placed in a virtual gift box and delivered to the massive "Lumi".)（在纳甘和科谢尼娅的帮助下，心智记录被封装成数据碎片，闪烁着电子流的荧光，被放进虚幻的礼物盒中，送至巨大的“卢米”身前。）

NagantPlease, messed-up Lumi, accept this gift of ours!拜托了，混乱状态下的卢米哟，接受这份礼物吧！

YooheeI'm sure it can feel... The Professor and his wife's unspoken wishes. The thing it's most familiar with.它一定能感受到的……教授，还有教授太太未曾说出的心意，这是他最熟悉的东西。

(As the music ends, the giant "Lumi" completely settles down.)（随着乐曲结束，巨大的“卢米”已经完全安静下来。）

(The data within the tiny little box enters the massive gift box above "Lumi".)（小小礼物盒中的数据投入了“卢米”上方的大礼物盒中。）

(Not long after, the gift box it protected so desperately cracks, with countless data fragments bleeding outwards.)（没过多久，被它保护着的礼物盒破开一道裂隙，无数的数据碎片从中向外缓慢地流泻。）

(The larger fragments crackle again, turning into drifting "snow", proliferating through the unkempt Level II.)（大块的残片二次碎裂，化为纷飞的“雪”，在失序的二级平层之中四处飘散。）

NagantIs something wrong with my visual modules? Is there a projection on those fragments in the air?我的视觉模块故障了吗？空中的那些数据残片，上面好像有影像？

KseniaYour visual modules aren't that old yet. Those are the records of Lumi's life with the Professor and his wife up there.前辈的视觉模块还没有老化哦，那上面全都是卢米和教授夫妇在一起生活的记录呢。

NagantDon't take the opportunity to mock me!不要趁机嘲讽前辈！

(Nagant puts a hand on Ksenia's shoulder, but her attention is soon pulled away by a blurry image upon a fragment—)（纳甘拍了拍科谢尼娅的肩膀，却也被数据残片上的朦胧影像吸引了注意——）

(On a bright and pleasant afternoon, Professor Bowen takes his wife's hand, strolling along a small garden path.)（阳光明媚的午后，波文教授牵起妻子的手，在小小的花园中漫步。）

(In the living room's gentle light, Renee and Professor Bowen together inspect Lumi's frame.)（起居室温暖的灯光中，兰妮拉着波文教授，一同为卢米检查着机身。）

(Bathed in moonlight, Renee turns about to call out to two figures, one large and one small...)（某个宁寂的夜晚，沐浴着月光的兰妮回过身，温柔地呼唤着一大一小的两个身影……）

YooheeLooks like Lumi really was fond of those two...看来，卢米的确很喜欢教授他们啊……

NagantThe fragments are gone. This place looks like it's going back to normal too.残片消失了，这里好像也在恢复正常了？

YooheeLumi's accepted it... It's releasing its control rights!卢米接受了……他开放权限了！

KseniaYep! I've already got the permissions, currently removing the firewall's quarantine program. We're about 15 seconds out from having the permissions in full. Lumi won't be moving about randomly after this.嗯嗯！我已经拿到控制权限了哦，现在正在解除防火墙的隔离程序。 预计还有十五秒就可以夺取权限，这样卢米就不会无序行动了。

NagantGood work! Let's head out and take a closer look at Lumi!干得不错！我们赶紧出去看看卢米的情况吧！

(After the quarantine program's deactivation, Nagant and Ksenia take their leave. Yoohee takes one more look at the images upon the data fragments before cutting off her connection too.)（隔离程序解除后，纳甘和科谢尼娅相继离开，幼熙再次看了一眼数据残片上的影像，也断开了与二级平层的连接。）

NagantIt's finally over...终于结束了……

NagantLumi won't go rogue again, right? I don't think my old bones can handle being put through the ringer like that again.卢米不会再失控了吧？再这么折腾，我这个老人家可受不了。

KseniaMost likely not. I restarted Lumi after getting the permissions, and the overflowing data in its cache should have been cleared out for now.大概吧，拿到控制权后，我重启了卢米，缓冲区的溢出数据应该都被暂时清空了。

KseniaThere won't be any abnormalities in the short term, but if the algorithms aren't improved, as time goes on, there might be an overflow again... Though that'll be none of our business.短时间内不会再有异常，但如果不优化算法的话，随着运行时间变长，数据可能还是会再次溢出……不过，那就不关我们的事了。

KseniaGah—we really had to put in way too much effort for those flowers the Professor promised us. What a terrible deal!唔——为了教授答应的那些花，我们付出得太多了，血亏啊，前辈！

YooheeNo, we're not done yet.不，还没有结束。

(Yoohee walks towards the still-bound Lumi, gently undoing the ropes.)（幼熙走向被绑住的卢米，温柔地将绳结解开。）

NagantIt might go off again. It's better to leave it tied up, no?它可能还会失控，不要解开比较好吧？

YooheeIt should be fine, right?不会的，对吗？

(Yoohee pats Lumi's round head. Free of restraints, Lumi begins to slowly spin again.)（幼熙拍了拍卢米圆圆的脑袋。摆脱了控制的卢米，再次开始缓缓转动了起来。）

KseniaW-Why's it doing that again?它、它怎么又开始了！

YooheeIt's alright.没事的。

YooheeLumi just wants to tell the Professor about the wishes Renee left with it at a time of year where there should be snow. That's the holiday present it wanted to give to the Professor and the late Renee.卢米它只是希望，在应有落雪的时节，将兰妮的心愿告诉教授，这是它想要送给教授以及逝去的兰妮的节日礼物。

NagantSo that's what it was... Why does it keep running away, though?原来是这样……但为什么它要一直逃跑呢？

YooheeBecause it saw a doll dancing inside a music box.因为，卢米看到了八音盒上跳舞的人偶。

NagantHuh?啊？

YooheeYou two, look at this first.总之你们两个先看下这个。

(Yoohee sends the video contents of the last giftbox to Nagant and Ksenia.)（幼熙将刚刚记录下来的最后一段礼物盒内的影像内容传给了纳甘与科谢尼娅。）

YooheeLumi isn't loaded with any knowledge relevant to dancing, so as far as it knows, that little doll's dancing might very well be the same thing as the Professor dancing with his wife in that recording.卢米没有加载任何与舞蹈相关的知识，所以在它的认知里，那对娃娃跳舞的身影，可能和这段舞会录像里教授夫妇的共舞是类似的吧？

YooheePerhaps because it caused a similar scene, Lumi accessed those records sitting inside its systems. It wants to tell the Professor about his wife's final wishes, but also wants to give the bits and pieces it's collected over to years to the Professor, who has been missing his wife, as a gift.也许就是因为看到了类似的情景，一直积存在它系统里的记录再次被调取出来。 它想要传达教授太太最后的心愿，也想把这那些年记录的点滴作为礼物送给怀念妻子的教授。

YooheeBut it cannot accurately express itself because of system errors, and thus often falls into confusion, inadvertently causing trouble.但却又因为系统故障，让它无法准确地表达，甚至时常陷入混乱引起麻烦。

KseniaSo it's been spinning around like that because it's imitating the doll it saw? That's how it wanted to tell the Professor?那它现在一直在转圈，就是在模仿娃娃跳舞？它想用这种方式，告诉教授吗？

(Ksenia gestures at Lumi, still spinning in circles.)（科谢尼娅指了指兀自转圈的卢米。）

YooheeMaybe, yeah. That's what dance means... To speak for those who cannot, to help those who cannot hear feel, to entrust stories to those who are watching...可能吧，毕竟这就是舞蹈的意义嘛，帮助无法言语的人诉说，帮助无法聆听的人去感受，将一段又一段的故事予以寄托……

KseniaUh, is its AI really that advanced?呃，这家伙的AI真有这么厉害吗？

NagantGuh... Y-You don't just concern yourself with those things at a time like this, you stupid brat!呜……这、这种时候，不要纠结啦，笨蛋后辈！

(Yoohee stares at Lumi for a moment, suddenly raising her head and balling her hands into fists.)（幼熙认真地盯了一会卢米，突然抬起头，握紧了双手。）

YooheeI'm going to help it!我要帮它！

NagantWith what? You're going to help it dance for the Professor?帮什么……你要让它跳舞给教授看？

KseniaI don't imagine that will be easy. It'll be hard for anyone to glean anything at all from the spinning.恐怕很难哦，它这么转圈，很难让教授明白在跳什么吧。

KseniaAnd there's no way you'll be able to sync your dancing stuff with it. Its ports are outdated, and we just messed with its systems real good. It's impressive that it's not having a breakdown.而且，你也没办法把你的舞蹈行为数据同步给它，它的接口太老旧了，系统又被我们折腾了一顿，不宕机就不错了。

NagantWhat do we do, then?那怎么办？

KseniaHow about you just show the Professor the footage you got, Yoohee?不如，直接把幼熙你记录下来的影像资料给教授看？

YooheeThat won't do.那可不行。

(Yoohee shakes her head vigorously.)（幼熙使劲摇头。）

YooheeLumi must express its wishes to the Professor on its own!卢米的心意，一定要自己告诉给教授才可以！

YooheeLet me think... Since there are no robotic shortcuts we can take, let's use a more human approach!我想想……既然机器人的快捷通道走不了，那么就用人类的办法吧！

(Yoohee temporarily stops Lumi in its tracks.)（幼熙暂时让卢米停止了旋转。）

LumiGaaaa—嘎啦——

YooheeHold on, I'll help you.别着急，我来帮你。

YooheeDo as I do. Remember this well!跟上我的动作，要好好记住哦！

(Recalling the dance moves she saw in the projection, Yoohee begins to play that music again.)（回忆着立体影像中的舞蹈，幼熙再次播放了那首乐曲。）

(She begins with a starting pose, progressing into an elegant dance routine. Her dainty figure's flowing contours make up a familiar sight to Lumi, whose full attention is now draw to Yoohee.)（身姿娇小的她做了一个起手式，开始优雅地舞动，流丽而熟悉的身影吸引着卢米的视线。）

(Gradually, Lumi begins to move as well. It fully concentrates on imitating Yoohee's movements, clumsily extending its arms.)（渐渐地，卢米也动了起来，它全神贯注地跟随幼熙开始旋转，笨拙地舒展双臂。）

KseniaHmm... Even with the steps simplified, Lumi moves nothing like Yoohee...嗯……即使简化了舞步，卢米和幼熙的动作也完全不像啊……

NagantI can at least tell it's supposed to be dancing. That's a pretty good start for Lumi.看得出是在跳舞不是在转圈，这对卢米来说已经相当不错了。

BowenFound you...找到了……

(Bowen's voice comes from behind the three. He comes to a stop, doubled over with hands on his knees, catching his breath.)（波文的声音从几人身后传来，他半弯着腰，双手扶着膝盖，气喘吁吁。）

(At his age, climbing up these stairs probably took considerable effort. Rather than exhaustion, though, his countenance was full of surprise and sentiment.)（爬上顶楼恐怕让年长的他费了不少力气，但是比起疲惫，他的眼中更多的是惊讶与感怀。）

(Without a single word spoken, the music and dance take him back to the ball that year.)（无需言语，音乐与舞步带他回到了那一年的舞会。）

(Lumi clumsily turns about, occasionally spewing out bits of foam as if having errors. Some of it falls upon Bowen's glasses.)（卢米笨拙地旋转着，偶尔还故障一般喷出一些泡沫，其中有一些落在了波文的眼镜上。）

(He takes them off.)（他摘下眼镜。）

(Blurry as the surroundings might be to him, he sees clearly the figure of his late wife. Clad in formal dress with an arm wrapped around Lumi, she extends a hand towards him.)（无法看清周围的波文教授，此时眼中却清晰地看到了亡妻的身影。她穿着礼服，拥着卢米，向他伸出手。）

(The couple's romanticism of their youth had been long buried, but never melted away like the falling snow.)（那是科学家夫妇年轻时的浪漫，它被深埋多年，却未曾如落雪一般消融。）

LumiDancing! Snowing!跳舞！下雪！

(Lumi runs over at the sight of Bowen. It lightly bumps into his leg, pulling him out of his trip down memory lane.)（看到波文，卢米跑了过去。一下一下轻轻地撞着对方的小腿，将陷入回忆的波文唤醒。）

BowenAll this while... I never understood...原来，我一直没有发现……

(Bowen leans down, grasping Lumi's front limbs, dancing to that familiar tune.)（波文弯腰牵起卢米的前肢，再次跳起了那支熟悉的舞曲。）

(Lumi spins rhythmically, activating its snow dispersion apparatus, spreading frosty "snow" through the abandoned building.)（卢米有节奏地旋转着，随后，它开启了身上的降雪装置，带着凉意的“白雪”飘落在废弃大楼里。）

Yoohee - Recollection Node VII 幼熙·回溯节点VII

Commander...……

YooheeCommander? What's with you, getting all serious all of a sudden...指挥官？您怎么啦，怎么突然一脸严肃的……

CommanderI'm just thinking that if it weren't for you noticing what Lumi really wanted, who knows how long it would've been misunderstood for.我是在想，真亏你能注意到卢米的真实意图，否则卢米还不知道会被误解多久。

YooheeHehe, it was nothing impressive. Olesya-seonsaengnim told me that "the soul of dance is expression". So, I habitually began to observe the people around me to see what they express with the smallest expressions and movements. I suppose I ended up in the right place the wrong way!嘿嘿，这没什么啦，阿列霞老师教导过我，“舞蹈的核心在于表达”。 所以我在生活中也习惯性地去观察周围的人，看他们会通过细微的表情、动作表达什么，也算是歪打正着了吧！

CommanderThe soul of dance is expression... an interesting phrase. It's true that when I watch Vepley and Sharkry, I can feel their emotions sometimes.“舞蹈的核心在于表达”……真是句有趣的话。确实，有时候看维普蕾夏克里她们跳舞，也能够感受到她们的情绪。

YooheeHehe, you get it, Commander!哼哼，指挥官您很懂嘛！

YooheeThat's right. Things on your mind that you can't speak, emotions you can't declare, all of that can be expressed through dance! After the whole business with Professor Bowen and Lumi, I became even more certain about this—dance can go beyond the boundaries of death and speak to the soul.没错哦，一些无法说出口的心意、一些无法宣泄的感情，都可以用舞蹈表达出来！经历过波文教授和卢米这件事，我更加确定了这一点——舞蹈甚至可以跨越生死、沟通心灵。

YooheeIf it wasn't for Lumi's dancing, imagine the regrets the Professor and his wife would have had!要不是有卢米的舞蹈，波文教授和夫人该有多遗憾呀！

CommanderDon't forget your own part in it. You helped out a lot.别把自己的功劳忘了，你也帮了不少忙。

(I pat her head. She looks upwards, a shade of red creeping onto her happy face.)（我拍拍她的脑袋，看到她仰起脸，脸颊因为开心而泛起红晕。）

YooheeI was really happy to be able to help Lumi and the Professor!能帮到卢米和教授，我也很开心！

YooheeI want to convey more and more things with dance from now on, too!今后我也想用舞蹈传达更多、更多心意！

CommanderI'm sure you'll manage it. I don't really understand dancing, but if you need help, I'll always be here.当然，你肯定做得到，我不太懂舞蹈，但如果需要帮忙尽管来找我。

YooheeSpeaking of this, I really did have another request for you... But I'll tell you after we're done for good with the organizing.说到这个，其实还真有想拜托指挥官的事……不过，我们先完成梳理吧，之后再告诉您。

YooheeThere's not much left. Let's clear it all out in one go!剩下的不多啦，我们一口气完成吧！

CommanderAlright.好。

The Best Gift 最好的礼物

(The satellite city PRY-01's convention center open-air amphitheater, on a clear evening.)（卫星城PRY-01，会展中心的露天舞台，夜晚，晴。）

(The sky grows darker and darker, but the city's convention center only becomes more lively.)（天色渐暗，卫星城的会展中心却愈发热闹。）

(Proceeding backstage with VIP passes, Nagant and Ksenia find Yoohee in the middle of placing the finishing touches on the performance with Lumi and Professor Bowen.)（拿着VIP票的纳甘和科谢尼娅进入后台，看到正在和卢米以及波文教授进行演出确认的幼熙。）

NagantYoohee! We're here!幼熙！我们来啦！

NagantAh, the Professor's here too. Are the preparations for the upcoming performance complete?教授也在，一会的演出准备好了吗？

BowenI'm finished with adjusting the equipment.设备我都调试好了。

YooheeYep! Everything's in place. I'm feeling good today, I won't disappoint everyone!没错！已经一切就位了，今天的状态非常完美，演出一定不会让大家失望！

YooheeOh, right. HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE!对了各位，节！日！快！乐！

(Yoohee produces a basket as she speaks, scattering the multicolored petals inside through the air.)（说着，幼熙从身后掏出一只篮子，将里面盛满的五颜六色的花瓣洒向空中。）

KseniaWoah! Don't just scare people like that!哇——！不要突然吓人！

YooheeHehe, that's something we're going to bring out on stage. You guys get a sneak peek.嘿嘿，这是一会在舞台上要做的表演，提前给你们感受一下嘛。

NagantHappy holidays!节日快乐！

NagantThank you for inviting us to the show. I hear the tickets were rather difficult to get.谢谢你能邀请我们来观看演出，听说入场资格相当难抢呢。

KseniaThe gimmick of artificial snow pulled in a lot of the audience. I hear that the idea came from that senior of yours. If the chance ever arises, please do introduce me to that business genius.人工降雪这个噱头吸引了不少观众，听说也是你那个前辈想出来的？ 有机会请务必介绍那位商业天才给我认识一下。

YooheeAh, do you mean Sharkry-seonbae? She was originally going to come as well, but some stuff came up at the cafe she works at...唔，你是说夏克里前辈吗？原本她也是要来看演出的，可惜她供职的咖啡馆临时有点事……

YooheeBut check this out!不过你看！

(Yoohee spins around happily.)（幼熙开心地转了个圈圈。）

YooheeSharkry-seonbae gave me this bowtie on the back of my dress!我这条裙子背后的蝴蝶结，是夏克里前辈送我的哦！

NagantWoah, that looks amazing! Does every Doll who knows how to dance or sing also do handicrafts?!哇，好漂亮，你们学唱歌跳舞的人形都会做手工吗？！

YooheeHehe, not only is she good at crafts, she's also a makeup wiz!嘿嘿，前辈不但会做手工，化妆技术也很厉害呢！

YooheeWhen I met you guys— Ah, before I did, rather, I was talking to her on the phone. Lumi caused some trouble, so I hung up. I thought she would be angry...之前遇到你们的时候—— 啊，再之前一点，当时我正在和前辈通话，卢米不是引发了一些骚乱嘛，我就擅自切断了通讯，本来以为她会发脾气……

YooheeBut after I told her about the circumstances, she complimented me instead.不过前辈听完前因后果之后，反而夸了我。

NagantSo she's a competent senior, too! I really must speak to her if the circumstances allow.嗯，看来对方也是一位称职的前辈啊，有时间一定要交流一下。

NagantRight, Professor, how's Lumi been? Any further incidents?对了教授，卢米的情况怎么样了？有再失控吗？

BowenAfter you lot described the cause, I ran some more checks on the central systems and spoke to a friend in the field. There shouldn't be any further issues.听你们说明原因后，我针对卢米的中控系统又进行了一次检查，还请教了专业领域的朋友。现在，应该不会出问题了。

Lumi(Gurgling)咕噜吧啦——！

YooheeAfter things are stable, could Lumi's original be put into production next?那稳定了之后，下一步卢米是不是可以作为降雪原型机正式投产了？

BowenThat's still a ways off.还差得远。

BowenAfter this performance is over, I'll still be deleting the overflowing data in Lumi again and recompiling the source code.等到这场演出过后，我还是会删掉卢米体内的超量数据，然后重新编译它的核心代码。

YooheeWhat a shame... that's technology Renee left behind.好可惜啊……那是兰妮留下的技术吧。

(Bowen smiles and nods, turning to the silent Lumi at his side.)（波文笑着点点头，看向身边安静的卢米。）

BowenA shame indeed, but keeping Lumi in good operating order is most important.确实可惜，但让卢米正常运转下去才是最重要的。

BowenI know Renee's wishes now, anyway. She'll always be by my side, like Lumi. I'll have no regrets.而且，兰妮的心愿，我已经知道了。她会和卢米一样，一直伴随在我身边，这样我也没什么遗憾了。

(Yoohee nods as the backstage staff begin to call for the dancers to get into position.)（幼熙点了点头。后台的剧务人员开始通知舞蹈演员就位。）

YooheeAh, sorry, it's about time. I need to go prepare for the show with Lumi and the Professor!啊，不好意思，时间不早，我和卢米还有教授得去准备表演了！

YooheeYour tickets are for the VIPs in the VIPs. Get ready to catch every mesmerizing move of Lumi's performance up close!给你们的票是VIP中的VIP，能够将卢米的舞姿尽收眼底哦！

NagantEh? Lumi's going to be performing on top of providing the snow?哎？卢米不止是造雪，还要参与演出吗？

YooheeYeah! After that experience of ours, I had a change of mind in regards to the routine, so I made some changes. I asked the Professor to help me train Lumi, too! Just sit and watch!嗯！经历了之前的事情，我对这次的表演有了新的想法，所以改了一些编排，还特意麻烦教授协助我训练卢米呢！二位尽请期待吧！

YooheeWe'll be off, then!那么，我们先走啦！

NagantAlright, we'll cheer for you!好，我们会为你加油的！

(Leaving Yoohee to her business, Nagant and Ksenia return to the audience seating area, finding their spots.)（告别幼熙，纳甘、科谢尼娅回到观众区，找到了自己的位置。）

KseniaWoah, VIP indeed! What a view!哇，不愧是VIP中的VIP票，前辈，视野真开阔啊！

NagantYeah, I don't even have to stand on my tippy toes to see the whole amphitheater. Not bad at all.是呀，不用踮脚就能看到整场演出，不错不错。

NagantEh? What's going on? It's all black all of a sudden, did they turn off the lights?欸？什么情况，我的视野怎么突然黑了，关灯了吗？

KseniaNo, they haven't. Could your visual modules really be getting that old?没有关灯啊。前辈，是不是你的视觉模块真的老化了！

NagantBut I had them checked a few days ago! That shouldn't be the case at all!可我前几天才检查过，不应该啊！

KseniaA procedural failure, then. I think permanent loss of vision might be in the cards.那就是程序故障，说不定要永久性失明了。

NagantN-No way, right? I've never heard of that happening to a Doll! Help me, Ksenia!不、不会吧？我没听过人形也会永久性失明啊！科谢尼娅，快帮帮我！

KseniaHahaha, I'm kidding, I'll stop messing with you.哈哈哈，别担心了前辈，不和你开玩笑了。

(Ksenia chuckles mischievously, taking Nagant's hat off the top of her head.)（科谢尼娅一边坏笑，一边将纳甘头顶的帽子摘下。）

NagantKsenia!科谢尼娅！

(Gritting her teeth, Nagant begins to reach for Ksenia's collar. The latter immediately passes over the hat in her hand.)（纳甘咬牙切齿地正要抓住科谢尼娅的领子，科谢尼娅立马把手里的帽子递了上去。）

(Made out of felt, the hat's celebratory colors are adorned with little flowers of yarn.)（那是一顶毛线织成的帽子，喜庆的配色上点缀着毛茸茸的毛线小花。）

KseniaThis is the limited edition hat you always wanted. I bought it as a holiday gift.前辈，这是你一直想要的限定帽子，我把它作为节日礼物买回来了。

NagantBut it's expensive, isn't it? About as much as the flowers the Professor gave us were worth, right?可是它很贵啊，差不多和教授送给咱们的花等价了吧？

KseniaYeah, all of the money from the sales went into this hat.是啊，卖掉花拿的钱，全都换成这顶帽子了。

KseniaYou were hesitating, so I went and bought it for you. Money's just money, we can always make more. But we miss this hat, and it's gone forever.前辈不是一直在犹豫嘛，我就帮你把它买了，钱只是钱，没了可以再赚，这顶帽子可是限定商品，错过就买不到了。

NagantTh-thanks...谢、谢谢……

KseniaNo need to thank me. Just mark me for extra overtime pay in the future.不用道谢啦，以后帮我多记些加班费就好。

NagantSigh... I feel like such a failure, my junior beat me to giving a gift...唉……竟然被后辈先送了礼物，感觉我这个前辈做得好失败……

NagantWhen the show ends, I'm going to go pick out a proper present for you too!等演出结束后，我也要去好好挑选一份礼物送给你！

KseniaI'll be waiting, then.那我就等着前辈的礼物啦。

(As they chatter, the lights in the venue converge on the stage. The elevator in the middle gradually rises, and Yoohee takes the stage first with her basket of flowers.)（谈话间，场内的灯光全部聚焦到舞台，正中央的升降机缓缓升起，幼熙乘着花篮率先登场。）

YooheeGood evening, everyone!各位观众，晚上好！

YooheeBefore we get started, we have a few little presents for everyone. Make sure you catch them!在演出正式开始前，先为大家发放一点小礼物，一定要好好接住哟！

YooheeEveryone—Happy holidays!大家——节日快乐！

(Yoohee snaps her fingers, sending many red drones flying through the venue, strewing candy and flower petals toward the audience.)（幼熙打了一个响指，数架红色无人机从舞台上方飞过，将糖果和花瓣洒向观众。）

NagantHyup!嗨呀！

(Nagant leaps upwards, easily claiming a pack.)（纳甘一跃而起，轻松接到一包。）

KseniaYou don't like candy at all, why are you going for those?又不爱吃糖，前辈你抢它干嘛？

NagantIt's all in the holiday spirit. Take this, the show's about to start!节日气氛嘛。拿好，表演就要开始了！

(Stuffing the candy into Ksenia's hands, Nagant looks towards the stage with excitement.)（纳甘将糖果塞给科谢尼娅，兴奋地看向舞台。）

(As the candy pulls the audience's attention, a cart full of flowers slowly rises to the middle of the stage.)（在众人被糖果吸引注意力的间隙，舞台的正中央缓缓升起一辆花车。）

YooheeNow then, enjoy!那么，请大家欣赏接下来的演出吧！

YooheeIntroducing today's special guest, a new artificial snow platform—Lumi!有请今天的特别嘉宾，新型降雪机器人——卢米！

(Adorned with bouquets, Lumi stands upon the cart of flowers, appearing at the stage's forefront.)（装饰着花束的卢米站在花车上，出现在舞台的正前方。）

(It turns as it sprays snow into the air.)（它一边旋转，一边向空中喷洒雪花。）

NagantYou go, little guy!好好表现，小家伙！

KseniaDo your best.加油哦。

(The snow gradually blankets the stage, and many audience members begin to extend their hands.)（雪花渐渐飘满舞台，台下的观众不约而同地伸出手来。）

(The pure white foam lands upon their hands and hair. Be it caused by curiosity or reminiscence, the icy sensation puts a smile on the audience's faces.)（洁白的泡沫落在他们的掌心或是发梢，或是新奇，或是怀念，冰凉湿润的触感让舞台下的人们露出笑容。）

(As the audience's passion is ignited, the other members of the dance troupe make their entrance. The scattering petals combine with the falling snow, illuminating the stage.)（而在点燃观众热情的同时，人形舞蹈队的其余成员也陆续登台。五彩的花瓣与漫天飘飞的雪花，一起将舞台点亮。）

(As the music rises and swells, the performance begins in earnest.)（伴随着逐渐响起的音乐声，演出正式开始。）

(On this holiday, everyone receives a present they desire.)（在这个节日里，每个人都得到了最好的礼物。）

Yoohee - Recollection Node IX 幼熙·回溯节点IX

CommanderThere, all organized. Good work, Yoohee.梳理完成了。辛苦了，幼熙。

YooheeI should be the one saying that, Commander.您才是辛苦了呢，指挥官。

YooheeAll of the redundant data's gone, and I feel much better for it. Thank you!冗余的数据都清理掉了，我感觉轻松多了，谢谢您！

YooheeI prepared a present for this, actually.其实，我给您准备了谢礼哦。

CommanderA present? No need, really. Keeping everyone in good shape is my duty as a Commander.谢礼？你不用这么客气的，帮助大家维持良好的状态本来就是我这个指挥官的职责。

YooheeOh, it's nothing expensive, I made it myself. Take it!哎呀不贵重的，是我自己做的，您就收下吧！

(Yoohee retrieves a box from the shelf behind her, producing a flower pieced together with mechanical parts.)（幼熙从身后的架子上取下一个盒子，里面是一朵由机械零件拼成的花朵。）

(The flower's stem and calyx were constructed with levers and gears, the petals with a gradient of copper, and the stamen with smatterings of shattered crystal. Much time was dedicated to this present.)（杠杆和齿轮组成了茎与萼，铜色的花瓣做出了渐变，中间点缀细碎水晶做成的花蕊。可以看出是非常用心的礼物。）

CommanderMight this be a hibiscus?这是，木槿花？

YooheeYeah! It's about that time of year, and I wanted to give you flowers, too.嗯！快到那个节日了嘛，我也想送花给您。

YooheeI'm told that the hibiscus signifies gentleness and resilience. I wanted to use it to express my gratitude for your efforts in treating everyone gently, including me.木槿花似乎有“温柔”和“坚韧”的含义，我想用它来感谢您对我、还有其他人形们温柔以待，谢谢您，为大家做出的坚持。

YooheeBut a metal flower will never wilt, which means that I'll never be separated from you!而且金属做的花朵不会凋谢，象征着我不会再与指挥官分开！

(I accept the gently glinting metal flower, the faint light upon its petals warm and pleasant.)（我从她手中接过映射着微光的金属花朵，花瓣上微弱的光芒带着明确的暖意。）

CommanderThank you. I will treasure it.谢谢你，我会好好保存的。

CommanderYou said you have something else you wanted of me. What is it?你之前说有想拜托我的事，是什么？

YooheeYeah... You mentioned it earlier, with Vepley-seonbae and Sharkry-seonbae, right? The part about the soul of dance is expression.嗯……之前指挥官也提到了，维普蕾前辈和夏克里前辈，对吧？说到“舞蹈的核心在于表达”的时候。

CommanderUh, I think so...?嗯，好像有……？

YooheeWith the understanding that you have of dance, you must watch them perform often... I might not be on their level yet, but the "Sparkle" troupe's performances have been getting great reviews from the public!指挥官这么懂舞蹈，肯定经常看两位前辈的表演吧…… 虽然可能现在还比不上前辈们，但我们“火花”舞团的演出也有受到广大观众的好评哦！

YooheeCommander, you should come see us dance, too!指挥官，也来看看我们的演出吧！

CommanderOf course... But do I only need to watch?当然可以……但是，只是看表演就行了吗？

YooheeYou think that's too easy, Commander? Then you should clap loudly and liven up the atmosphere with everyone!指挥官觉得太容易做到了？那就还要大声鼓掌、炒热气氛、一起热闹起来！

YooheeHehe, I'm just kidding. So long as you enjoy yourself and feel what I'm trying to get across to you!嘿嘿，开玩笑啦，指挥官只要享受就好，好好体会我的心意吧！

(Yoohee's eyes shine with light, her mien one of absolute passion.)（幼熙的眼神闪烁着光芒，那是在谈起自己热爱之物时的神情。）

(Such faith in remaining steadfast sways me as well. In a time as cruel as ours, this passion will forever be of inestimable value.)（这样充斥着热情与坚持的信念，让我也有所感染。在这个残酷的时代中，这样的热忱更显得弥足珍贵。）

CommanderAlright, I'll take you up on that.好，我接受你的邀请。
