Nagato's POV
_______________

it's been a full 2 days since we told Brother about the Orochi as Me and Mutsu sat in the kitchen,eating our breakfast,that Amagi prepared for us,Brother never came back to the shrine last few nights after he had ran off as it was only around 10:00 in the night,2 days ago,when Suruga and Ryuuhou came to the shrine in the middle of the night,to report,that Brother was staying the night at Kasumi and her Sister's home

we were relieved,the he had not gone and done something reckless like leave the base or head out to sea but both Me and Mutsu,couldn't help but feel broken by hearing,that he didn't want to return to the shrine and opted to stay with a close friend

even now,he still hasn't come back to the shrine for even breakfast or just to see us as Me and Mutsu looked at the empty chair,that Nagaro would often sit in,when we all ate meals together,there was only silence,in the space,that used to fill the chair with joy and happiness,everyday for all of us

Yamato was not faring any better than us as she had locked herself into her own office to slave away at the piled up work,she had stacked up during our time in Iron Blood,only ever leaving for a few minutes for food,water and rest,before she would return to slave away at her work to drown out the sadness she was feeling in her

her Sisters have tried to convince her to stop her foolish acting and to stop her new work habits but the giant Battleship never gave in as the feeling of grief from losing her self proclaimed son was simply too much for her as she refused to leave her office and push away anyone who would try to get her out

despite the recent occurence,the Sakura Empire's plans did not stop nor slow down as Akagi informed us yesterday,that everything for the next phase of the plan was prepared,I had already given her the green light to proceed with the plan as everything went into motion,starting yesterday

today was the day,that we continued forward with the completion of the Orochi as we gathered the last amount of data,required to activate the giant Siren ship,we were to going to force the last decisive battle,needed to awaken the salvation of the Sakura Empire,whether we win or lose the fight,in the end,we come out as the victors in the war,that is what matters 

Mutsu:Sister,did we do the right thing

I looked up to Mutsu,who was now just playing with her half eaten food while looking at it with an unsure look,she had a sad look on her face as she spun her food around with her spoon while looking down as if she was about to cry

Nagato:what do you mean,Sister

Mutsu:did we do the right thing,about leaving Azur Lane and joining Iron Blood in the war

Nagato:do you doubt the choices we've made

Mutsu:I do and I'm tired of saying I'm not,Brother opened a light,that never shone for Me before and now,that he's gone,I somewhat see why,he would run off like how he did

Nagato:there is truth in Brother's reasons but there is also truth in our own,it is not about whether we are right or wrong in our decision,it is about who is right in the end

Mutsu:so did we do the right thing or not,are we in the right or the wrong

Nagato:it is not up to me,to answer that question,only time can tell us the answer,to that question

Mutsu:I just don't want to leave things like this with,Brother,what if he's right and we're making a mistake by trusting the Siren technology 

Nagato:if he is,then we've made a grave mistake but we are not certain of that,on the other hand,we could be right and he just cannot see it due to his belief
