THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

Ayanami wakes up in a strange room for her. She sits on the bed to check her current condition and realizes that she has many bandages on her body as a result of her injuries from the enemy plane explosion.

She looks around and realizes that she is at the Azur Lane base.

Izumo: Don't even think about escaping.

In that moment, she looks towards the door and sees Izumo. Ayanami looks at her with a very hostile gaze.

Izumo: We are watching you. Don't look at me like that, I'm not going to eat you or harm you.

Ayanami: Is this place Azur Lane's base?

Izumo: Indeed.

In that moment, Izumo leaves the room and then enters pushing a cart with food.

Izumo: It's lunchtime, I'm sure you're a little hungry.

Ayanami: Yes, how long have I been unconscious?

Izumo: 5 days, we put you into a coma so you wouldn't suffer. You had many third and second degree burns on your body. It's good to see that you're almost fully recovered now.

Ayanami: Was it that serious?

Izumo: Yes, thank Javelin and Laffey for jumping into the void to rescue you. After that battle, I used my skills to treat your burns, and we flew you to Azur Lane base where you have been in the Azur Lane hospital ever since. Currently, you are a prisoner of war, but don't worry, we won't harm you.

Ayanami remains very pensive while Izumo serves the food to Ayanami.

Izumo: Enjoy the food.

Ayanami is surprised to see Japanese food, she did not expect this kind of treatment.

Ayanami: It's food from the empire, who prepared it?

Izumo: Well, I have some experience in the kitchen, I don't know if it will be to your liking.

Ayanami started eating.

Ayanami: Thank you, by the way, what about those two? They saved an enemy after all.

Izumo: They are fine, we can be enemies, but we are humans after all.

Ayanami: Who are you really? I have never heard of you, and also, why do you fight for Azur Lane?

Izumo: Why? Simply put, the ideals of Azur Lane align with mine, which is why I help them.

Ayanami: I don't mean that. You are a ship of the empire. Not only that, you have the insignia of the imperial family.

Izumo: What?

Ayanami: The hairpin you have, that insignia is from the imperial family of the Sakura Empire.

Izumo: I'm not sure what you're referring to, but I am the leader of the JMSDF. I serve a country called Japan, not the Sakura Empire. I've learned that war only brings misfortune, and that's why my country formed the JMSDF - solely to protect the country from warmongering idiots like your country.

Ayanami: (Molestia) We are not idiots!

Izumo: (Laughs) Maybe not, but the war between nations doesn't lead us anywhere and doesn't solve the problem against the sirens, right?

Ayanami: (Doubts) I don't know.

Izumo: For now, eat and enjoy your stay in this place.

Meanwhile, Ark Royal regrets not taking care of Ayanami.
