Talk:Winter 2017 Event/@comment-115.66.110.162-20170228132602

Real life got a hold of me. I skipped doing the event preparations cos of work commitments & weekend outings. Got some play time still, but it pales in comparison to before.

Did the E3 2x A rank Node J debuff last night cos I figured I wouldn't be able to make it. Was on Android for most of the morning: after leaving the house, at the terminal, on the train, on the bus, on the pathway to the office, in the office canteen queueing for breakfast. All the way STF battling, hurling resources & buckets, Node & Boss Support Expeditions & LBAS, just throwing everything at E3E Node U. So many A ranks, no Hitomi & scrapping every other drop.

Then the final kill happened, and I did not see any of it happen. Glanced down at the result screen, saw the twins dead, both AC Himes dead, both Ru class sunk, S rank victory.

I never felt so dead inside. No joy, no happiness. Just a small bit of relief: "Oh, my girls did it. It's finally over. Now we can rest." Hitomi still refused to appear but I just couldn't care any more. Yes, I was trying to beat the clock, had more to do with procrastination.

Kongou 4 sisters, Chitose CVL, Chiyoda CVL, Prinz, Abukuma, Hatsushimo, Shigure, Ooi & Kitakami. And of course, the fairies. ALL You girls have my gratitute for that final kill, even if Breakfast was the main thing on my mind at that very moment. 28 Feb 2017 0905 JST - I will never forget this moment.
