Greetings, Doctor... Is there anything you'd like to discuss?
You look quite pale... You say your chest hurts? Don't overwork yourself, please get some rest. Don't be afraid, I'm right beside you. Everything will be okay...
You've seen my healing Arts somewhere before?... That must have been your imagination. Yes, our memories do deceive us on occasion…
'Confessarius?' Where did you learn this word? My apologies, but I'm afraid I cannot continue this topic.
We Sarkaz combined our inherent Arts affinity with the power of Originium to develop new healing Arts, we've been doing this for quite some time to succour those who drag themselves in the mire.
Now, you ask? Now we have nothing left. That war bereaved us of all hope.
Who is Nearl to me? Well... She's a travel companion, and I trust her with my very life.
There are those who will sacrifice their all to deliver others from their pain. And Nearl, she is just the kind.
Once upon a time, I followed someone who shone bright as the beacon of hope, until wicked machinations took the light away. But this time, the incandescence will cease nevermore, even at the cost of my life...
This quiet… it reminds me of my time back home.
I am Shining, the roaming medic. I look familiar to you? It is possible our paths have crossed.
The power to merely heal wounds... is not enough.
A medic's hand cannot reach all those in need.
Yes. I must be more than a medic—I will live on as a guardian. As has always been my goal. Doctor, please bear witness to my oath.
To the battlefield, are we not?
A battle for our own delieverence, is it not?
War, ever inevitable.
May the war grant us the redemption we seek... or will it?
Operator Shining has great expertise in medical Originium. She has offered numerous theories to the Rhodes Island medical department that advanced knowledge regarding Originium. According to Shining, she pioneered the field with her colleagues to alleviate the pain of the Infected. Her empathy and dedication has earned her the admiration of many of her fellow Operators. Further observations suggest she could possibly offer even more with her Originium Arts... As battle reports indicated, Shining not just could heal hurt Operators, but also 'protect' them from combat damage with Originium Arts. Any specific conclusions must await further research by Caster Operators.
Miss Shining's statement in her debate with Dr. Kal'tsit in the medical department is allegedly something that many Medic Operators have taken to heart. 'Few things are more important to Rhodes Island than the dedication and reliability of its Operators. Likewise, few things are more important to medics than patients who value their own lives.' It very well reflected the wish of many medical staff that their patients recognize just how precious life is while undergo treatment. Miss Shining not only wants to save those fighting to live, but to also protect them. To her, healing and protection are perhaps one and the same.
It is said that Operator Shining would demonstrate certain unique Originium Arts in private gatherings. It was described as a warm glow moving slowly in a dark room before gradually expanding, then even dancing on the wall and changing color. The performance seemed to captivate the children at Rhodes Island. Compared to the radiant light emitted by Nearl and other Operators, Shining's glow appeared more solid and tangible. As for the nature of the aura, why she left her own kind, what has she been through emotionally, what is the Sarkaz's role in various political bodies and similar questions, Shining always declined to answer.
[Debriefing Sec-J12] Let me tell you... Shining's healing expertise in no way means she's your typical frail medical genius. True, no one saw her in actual combat. Yes, she seemed warm and gentle like sunset, and even a bit lonely... Very much unlike a warrior, right? You must all feel she's incredible only in resolve and medical skills? Perhaps that she possessed Originium Arts of a different kind? That must be what you're thinking, since that's what you've ever seen her do. But I must tell you, she is the mightiest swordfighter I've ever seen. I know, I know, several commandos and rather reckless people are great swordfighter. However, I'm telling you, Shining doesn't take a backseat to any of them. No way. I was foolish to assume what she has in her hand all the time is a normal Arts staff... I don't know why she doesn't use her sword. Her expression was... loathing? As if that blade disgusted her, or maybe she was disgusted to wield a blade... I'm not sure. Anyway, she has been hiding her sword skills from Rhodes Island. Proof? I'm still alive and here for the debriefing, isn't that proof enough? Why would I lie? Let's put it this way, sunset wasn't just a metaphor. I suspect she could turn bright daylight into night in an instant. Yeah, that's a hyperbole, but you don't get how I feel right now! At the time, I was severely wounded, just barely able to lift my head. I saw her interposing herself in front of a platoon of heavily armed enemies. ......To save the rest of us who were felled by the ambush. Just her alone. I'm thinking this isn't the first time it has happened. Honestly, it happened in a flash, like her name. ——A surviving Operator of a classified mission. Such a story... You should treat it as hallucinatory side effect of my healing Arts. ——Shining's response to the log

Yes, I'm listening.
Flourish, or perish.
'Tis but a flash in the drift of time.
Your life is mine to protect.
Fear not.
Grief, ever echoes in our souls.
Agony, ever etched on our hearts.
Our wills and spirits are ever burning against the fiercest enemies.
No matter the sins, all will fall to ashes with lives at the end of time.
Return not to the battlefields. You will find no redemption here.
Victory and loss... are insignificant moments in an endless cycle.
I will be fine, so long as I have a quiet place to be alone.
Yes? What is it?
It's been some time since I've known such serenity. I can even hear your heartbeat.
Arknights.
Fireworks... beautiful. I used to be one buried in research, pitting myself against death, lingering about the battlefield, and no more. Now, I have myself a moment of rest in which to gaze up at the night sky... Life's turns truly surpass anyone's expectations.
How are you feeling today, Doctor?
The day of your birth, is it? When a young life leaves the womb a newborn babe, the happiness and the hope in that moment will dwell in them, as well as their loved ones, for ages to come. Doctor, it honors me to the core, that I may celebrate a day so special alongside you.
Chaos still arises without respite across this land, and the most we can do is save the wounded. The peace Rhodes Island has brought me is one I've never chanced to feel before. But, Doctor, the road ahead still stretches afar, and those oldest dreams of mine, I still continue in the wake of.
The 'Confessarii' is a secret Sarkaz organization. Even I don't have much intel on them. It's impossible for Shining to be a mundane Sarkaz traveling healer, judging by her reaction upon meeting Amiya for the first time: subtle, but conspicuous, when it's common knowledge among humans. So, on which side does she stand? The Confessarii are not a simple Sarkaz outfit like she made it out to be. If another so-called Confessarii crisis should arise, is her connection with us strong enough for her to merely stand by, or even fight alongside us? Her past must be as enigmatic as her emotions. It's impossible to try to figure her out solely based upon her behavior. Maybe we could learn her true thoughts if someone like the Doctor can get her to lower her guard. Anyone who could understand her, I'm sure, would never divulge any of her secrets to any agency. ——Kal'tsit
