Fix some formatting errors. However, I noticed some repetitions, Elmo Wishing well and 404's Boot Camp - Springfield's New Product Taste Test Training have almost the same message, with only some minor differences. I do not know the source so cannot delete anything, can someone confirm?

== Girls' Frontline ==
==Main story==
Springfield only makes rare short appearances in the main story, but appears in many side stories.
===At [[Griffin & Kryuger]]===
Springfield took part as a team leader in the battle of the Paldiski Submarine Base with all the other T-Dolls under [[the Commander]], but her team was mostly wiped out.<ref>{{cite|gfl|pl|Polishing}}</ref> She was either one of the few survivors of the battle or among the first T-Dolls to be brought back as she manned the cafe with G36 a few days after the Commander returned to Area S09.<ref>{{cite|gfl|dr|Foreshadowed Voyage}}</ref>
 
From Tokarev's flashbacks in Roche Limit, we learn that Springfield met the Commander shortly after their arrival in Area S09. Along with {{doll name|Tokarev|HG|3}}, {{doll name|M1895|HG|2}}, {{doll name|Makarov|HG|3}} and {{doll name|GSh-18|HG|3}}, she was invited to eat with the Commander in the typically human-only cafeteria<ref>{{cite|gfl|[[Roche Limit]] Tokarev's Memory I}}</ref>. Springfield was also present in the assembly hall, in which the Commander announced new operational changes to the base. She stated that she is looking forward to these changes, hinting at her future as head of the base's cafe.<ref>{{cite|gfl|[[Roche Limit]] Tokarev's Memory II}}</ref>
 
===Leader of Zucchero Café===
After leaving Griffin & Kryuger, Springfield decided to open her own café, which would also secretly serve as a safe place and information broker agency helping her former comrades. She opened "Cloud Café" in the satellite city CHE-02, but the reputation of her establishment fell after a client was injured by a sniper. Springfield immediately recognized the shot as {{doll name|WA2000|RF|5}}'s work, and learned that a bounty had been put on her head by her target. Knowing about her former colleague's personality, she decided to use the situation to her advantage while protecting WA2000.
 
Springfield waited until WA2000, feeling guilty for hurting Springfield's business, came to her to pay for repairing and renovating the café. Pretending that safety measures like a bulletproof front window were mandated by the city, Springfield increased the safety of her café on WA2000's dime while keeping her around CHE-02, where Springfield's connections could keep WA2000 safe against people wanting to claim the bounty on her head. When WA2000 eventually caught up to Springfield's ploy, Springfield offered her a contract: since WA2000's goal was to gather intel about [[the Commander]], Springfield could gather the intel for her, while WA2000 supported the café financially and increased its reputation on the intel brokering scene. Springfield renamed the café "Zucchero" to mark this new beginning, and WA2000 also took the name [[Makiatto]] at this time.<ref>{{cite|gfl2|[[Dusty Journal#Bullet Echo]]}}</ref>


===Main story===
Springfield later hired {{GFL2|Centaureissi}}<ref>{{cite|gfl2|[[Dusty Memories#Returner's Determination]]}}</ref> and [[Andoris]]. Andoris was later recruited into [[H.I.D.E. 404]] by [[Leva]]<ref>{{cite|gfl2|[[Into the Shadows]] 01 & 04}}</ref> and was replaced at the café by [[Sharkry]].<ref>{{cite|gfl2|[[Dusty Memories#In the Firelight]]}}</ref>

====Neural Upgrade stories====
In {{doll name|Mosin-Nagant|RF|5|costume=costume2}}'s story, Mosin-Nagant talks about her concerns regarding her upgrade with Springfield, and ultimately decides to reject it and transfer into a ceremonial guard job at Griffin HQ. A few weeks later, Mosin comes back to the cafe to talk with Springfield about her insecurities, and Springfield gives her the revised upgrade plan [[the Commander]] made for her, which Mosin accepts before joining back. Mosin also asks Springfield her reason for working at the café, but she doesn't answer.

In {{doll name|Lee-Enfield|RF|6|costume=costume4}}'s story, Springfield notices that her friend Lee seems gloom at the cafe and does not take part in the general rejoicing among the Dolls after the medias announced new revelations claiming the innocence of the Dolls who had caused the Operation Black Forest controversy during [[World War Three]]. Lee explains her story, how she caused the incident, and how she ended up changing the life of a boy named [[Minor Characters#Charlie Lucius|Charlie]], from whom she recently received a package she doesn't dare open. Hung up on the consequences of her past decisions, Lee is also considering refusing a Neural Upgrade. Springfield gives her friend a push and slices open with a knife the package sitting on the cafe's counter, helping Lee read Charlie's letter and shake off the shackles of her past.

After [[the Commander]] suggested to organize an event at the base for Halloween, {{doll name|Springfield|RF|4|costume=costume1}} was made the organizer and set up a haunted house in an recently cleared out logistics warehouse.

After [[Kalina]] gets sick from overwork, Springfield closes the Cafe to take care of her for a few days. This impulsive decision pushes {{doll name|G36|AR|4}} to scrutinize how Springfield handles her work. G36 is used to Springfield's efficiency in organizing missions when they worked together, so she is shocked to see her allow clients to loiter after they have finished eating and keep decorating the Cafe whimsically. She confronts Springfield about her loose approach of her job, but Springfield doesn't see any problem with her methods as long as clients are happy. To defuse the situation, {{doll name|XM8|AR|4}} suggests they switch jobs for a day to better understand each other's work.

'''Springfield's Gift'''
 
Dear Commander:
 
It's only been a few days, but I didn't expect there to be such a big change in the Elmo. I like the Crew Deck that we have. Just stepping in there makes me feel happy and I can't help imagining just how much better things would have been if we had started Zucchero here. Has the renovation tired you out? I have no idea how you could handle such a big project. Still, you've always been able to exceed my imagination. If you're tired from dealing with I work and would like a snack or someone to talk to, I'll always be here, waiting for you. Oh yes, I bought a little something on the way here. Just think of it as a visiting gift for the Elmo. I hope you like it.

'''Teatime Invitation'''
 
Dear Commander,
 
My gift was just a few handmade desserts. Your enjoyment of them would have been an honor for me, and I would have been content with that. But then I received a gift from you in turn... You really do know how to bring a smile to my face. Thank you, Commander.
 
Recently, I've been working on a new blend of coffee, one that's laced with soothing herbal essence. It not only gives the brew a unique flavor, but also offers some relief, considering all the multitasking you're doing. Since opportunities like this don't come often, would you like to come down to Zucchero and try it out?
 
Naturally, I've prepared snacks and music for your visit. I will keep you company and listen to all your joys and frustrations... So please think of it as a brief period of leisure in your busy life.
 
The sunlight today is perfect and I've reserved your usual seat. Are you looking forward to it? I know I'm looking forward to every moment I spend with you.
