Ev 1-17 - Life

Mnemosyne:

The content is a message for you, Administrator.

Commander:

...What? (Choice)

Mnemosyne:

Allow me to show you.

Commander:

A terminal appeared from the ground of a lawn in front of my foot. As Mnemosyne touched the screen a few times, a short letter appeared.

Eva's letter:

How's your life been unemployed? This is all I can do for you for now.

I won't say I'm sorry. You and I both are trying our best from where we are.

Still...I just hope this new daily routine you've been enjoying the past few days has been acting like a present for you where it made you enjoyable. I mean it. Whether you choose to believe me or not is still up to you.

Anyways, I think the next time we meet, we'll be able to have a proper conversation. My Dr. over here is making some progress. Well, enjoy the rest of your holiday.

Eva.

P.S. I almost forgot about the most important thing. I wish you the happiest birthday for your upcoming third one. I do mean this.

Commander:

... (Choice)

A fool would have noticed it if it were this obvious. The first woman that appears in the Bible, חַוָּה (Ḥawwāh). Also known as Eve, or...

Eva... (Choice)

And then the name of the ID given to me when I entered the ark, Abel. The second son between the first man and woman...from the Bible.

Like this message, if Eva's behind why I was given top clearance level.

Phew... (Choice)

I took a deep breath to calm down. Rationally thinking, this could all just be speculation, or rather, Eva just advocating something unverified.

...And also, my birthday. (Choice)

I don't know where and how I opened my eyes in this world. But I do know this one thing.

This 'life' of mine started...when I met Griffon and Constantia in some random sinkhole.

I...really don't know anything, do I? (Choice)

And I began asking the one question I'd forgotten to ask myself for a while. Who am 'I?'

No, maybe my subconscious was protecting me, just like how LRL did not ask if the Cyclops Princess was also present.

And once my train of thought had left the station, more questions came along. Where did my vast knowledge of the Iron Parasites come from?

How did I - who lacked basic common senses - give effective commands in battle?

Why...was I infected by an Iron Parasite?

I... (Choice)

...Just, who am I?
