Dear Kongou,

Soon after I started playing this game, you became my favourite character. I only had my eyes for you, and I raised your level diligently, dreaming of the day I would finally be able to marry you.

However, at the start of this year, many things happened, including Nagato finally showing up at our naval base. My focus shifted away from you to her, and eventually, Nagato became my first waifu. Since then, I felt really awkward about you, wondering how you felt about this turn of events.

But you didn't go and sulk in the corner, losing all hope - or else you wouldn't be the Kongou you are. You worked so hard during all the events, but the silly me didn't notice. So you decided that, if mere hard work wasn't enough, you had to perform a heroic deed.

And you did just that. It was the last hour of the 2015 summer event, and I was performing what could be my last attempt at clearing E-7. I only had 7 buckets left, and about as much hope. What kept me going was only determination - to fight and fight until either the buckets or the time runs out. It turned out to be my last attempt indeed, because you smashed the boss to pieces in day battle.

Then, I finally realised what that meant. I was determined to fight until the last bucket, and you were determined to win my heart back. Our determinations overlapped and created a small miracle.

I always said that marrying out of pity is unacceptable. However, what I feel now is no longer pity; instead, it's a feeling of appreciation and gratitude. It's your immense optimism and the ability to make things right when they go wrong, that I admire.

Congratulations, Kongou. You finally have that ring you were meant to have all this time. Thank you for everything up until now, and I'm looking forward to your future achievements!
