>Fauna's graduation stream, everyone is doing call ins. It goes gen by gen, from the looks of it.
>Myth finished, Promise is about to. Bae, Mumei, Irys give their heartfelt but tearless goodbyes.
>Fauna sighs ruefully, but she still giggles. "I'm going to miss these girls very much... Next, I think Nerissa wants to-"
>Viewers don't hear it, but Fauna hears the discord join sound and sees Kronii joined her VC
>She gets nervous, pretends she doesn't know who it is. "W-wait, someone just joined the VC. Uhm, hello?"
>Silence. Fauna doesn't know whether to acknowledge Kronii publicly or let her speak first. "Is anyone there?"
>Fauna's awkward giggle is interrupted. "Hey. It's me." It's hard to tell her mood. Chat spams Kronii's name.
>Trying to diffuse the building tenseness, Fauna giggles like always. "Oh hey, Kronii! I thought you couldn't make-"
>"Just listen." Fauna's instant silence and lack of reaction makes Kronii's usual deadpan timbre sound serious.
>Kronii sighs, it's barely audible under the soothing, upbeat bgm. "I just want to..." She stops.
>"I want you to know that these past three years were both the happiest and saddest I've ever been in my life."
>There's an audible weight in Kronii's voice. "I wish..." The weight gets heavier. "I wish we could have had..."
>Fauna doesn't say a word, and her model is almost completely still, but her eyes are jittering.

>Kronii sighs loudly, gathering courage, or is it anger? "I wish I never met you. I wish we had never become friends."
>Before chat can even react, Kronii continues, the volcano inside starting to roil. Her voice is full of blame.
>"I wish I could just turn back time and pretend nothing happened. But I would still remember. I always will."
>Fauna looks a little to the side. She doesn't smile.
>Kronii's voice slowly begins to crack a little. "I will always remember you asking me if I was serious."
>"I'll always hate myself for telling you 'no' because I was afraid of losing what we had." Chat is mired in confusion.
>"I'll never forget our time together..." Kronii struggles to crack further, but she manages, barely. Chat begins to realize.
>"I hate you for being who you are. For being honest. For taking me at my word. I fucking hate you!"
>Kronii screams her last words in pain and regret. "...and I hate myself..." Her last words are dripping with defeat.
>Fauna hears Kronii leave VC. Silent in shock, she eventually sucks in air, breath trembling. She brings up her outro screen.
