Arknights Babel/Darknights art set. They're in slightly different style then my usual drawing (thicker lineart for once), that's because they were drawn with the intention to being printed as stickers! So they have to look good in really small print

Theresa really is one of the characters of all time. She doesn't believe in prophecy or fate, except the one that she's doomed to. She wishes to break the cycle of violence but is also the instigator of it. She is selfless and giving to a degree that seems almost inhuman or divine, but at the same time is characterized by a few moments of selfishness of such enormity that it almost outweighs her selflessness. She is so hopeful and idealistic about the future and those who will succeed her, but she believes herself to be a failure and has no hope for herself. She fully accepts the role she has to play as the sacrifice that must be made so her loved ones can have a better future, but she so, so desperately wants to linger...

One of my favorite parts of Theresa and Kal'tsit's relationship (whether you read it as romantic or platonic) is the lengths they both go to tell the other that they're equals.

Theresa has this wonderful line where she basically takes Kal'tsit's stoicism and skewers it:

Then on Theresa's deathbed, Kal'tsit realizes that in 13,000 years of wandering, out of all the tens of thousands of people she's seen die, Theresa is the first person she sees as an equal

The following line is the last bit of closure we get before the actual epilogue. Theresa has a nice bit of double meaning here. She's saying the final line to Theresis in-story, but the formatting of the line is different and suggests it's the last line she's leaving to Kal'stit at the same time. The interface being different is a nod in this direction, making the words stand apart from the dialogue with Theresis that they're ostensibly part of. The line fits the dialogue she's having with her twin as well as her last words to Kal'tsit, and the words also very clearly reaffirm their mutual belief that they are equals.

(An important note to help prove my point: in-game, this last line doesn't have her name attached to it, which makes it ambiguous as to when exactly it's being spoken. Obviously she says it to Theresis, but this is also the last line she says to Kal'tsit, as the way this dialogue box is formatted fits with her monologue to Kal'tsit, and not her conversation with Theresis.)

And then there's this dialogue from the Civilight Eterna's third archive file:

Conclusion: I am unwell

This is just too much. You can’t do this to me.
