Record 1

Since Griffin's shining era, AK-Alfa has been like a lone star in the night sky, neither approaching nor moving away.

After the disbandment of Squad Grizzly, she joined the Frostfall Squad. At first, she felt like a solitary planet who had their sun snuffed out. She once closed herself off, refusing to accept the new appointment. Later, with the help of Helian and Qiongjiu, she finally realized that even a solitary planet needs to rely on the gravitational interactions between the stars to maintain its functions, allowing her to successfully integrate into the Frostfall Squad. During missions, Tololo is calm, rational and handles work cleanly and efficiently, never dragging things out.

Outside of work, Tololo prefers solitude. Her personal dormitory is filled with a large number of her favorite collectibles, including books, albums, photography collections, handmade models, etc... The most prominent positions are reserved for astronomy and science fiction memorabilia.

When the starry sky is clear, she can occasionally be encountered on the roof of the Elmo. She is always alone, carrying her camera, telescope, tripod...and her beer. When someone approaches, she rarely actively engages in conversation, unless the topic touches on an area she is interested in. She will then proceed to discuss her views and ideas with her fellow enthusiasts in a convoluted language, sipping beer all the while. Tololo seems unsociable, but in reality she simply has her own little world. Deep in her heart, she is also looking forward to a place that can accommodate and accept her.

If stars were alive, would they be a herd species or solitary species?

At night in Griffin, in the usual gathering place of Squad Grizzly, Tololo pondered this question seriously. Beside her was the most popular science fiction novel at the time. The book's belly band seemed very new, indicating that the owner had never read it. M82, who would be the one to chat about the novel's plot with Tololo, had now left Griffin along with the other members of the Grizzly Squad, heading for the Green Zone. Tololo was the only one left. She was drinking beer alone in the now empty space, gazing at the starlit sky.

Since time immemorial, people have divided the stars into constellations. Each star can find its position in the 88 corresponding constellation regions. And in the universe, planets orbit stars, revolving in one star system after another...

So...stars should be a herd species, right? Bringing the beer can to her mouth, Tololo took a light sip of beer.

All this while, Helian had approached Tololo several times, expressing her wish for her to join Qiongjiu's squad. Helian's reasoning was sound. Different Dolls, teaming up and complementing one another could help improve the mission completion rate. It was difficult for the rational Tololo to turn Helian down. So, should this star move to another galaxy and enter another constellation? Looking at her former teammates' gathering place, at how that once vibrant energy was gone, and how their respective auras seemed to be gradually dissipating...

Tololo tightened her grip on the beer can.

Nay, stars are not alive. Stars are inorganic, and so the concept of being either herd or solitary does not apply. Stars are just stars, twinkling as lonely as can be in the distant sky.

Record 3

After bidding farewell to PzB39 at the auto repair shop, Tololo officially started participating in missions as a member of the Frostfall Squad. However... not all Dolls are as "simple" as the Dolls of Squad Grizzly.

"Tololo, I modified your spaceship model a bit. Don't be shy, take a gander!" Faced with Cheeta's prank, Tololo's expression remained very calm, and it was difficult to discern her emotions from her words.

"What is this?"

"I added 8 legs to your spaceship. Now it's an amphibious battleship, look!"

Tololo would never lose control in front of others.

"...Now that the meeting is over, I'll go back to my room ahead of you."

Tololo calmly turned and left, as if nothing had happened. But if one paid enough attention, they would notice that her shoulders were trembling slightly, and her footsteps had lost their usual steadiness.

"Cheeta, what are you doing! Stop messing with Tololo when you have nothing better to do!" came Lind's dissatisfied voice.

"It's because she always has that indifferent attitude and doesn't participate in group activities. This genius is just trying to help her adjust out of pure kindness."

"Kindness for a teammate, or a deliberate prank. You know very well which one it is. Come receive your punishment, then go apologize and restore her spaceship to its original state." Qiongjiu issued an order that left no room for argument.

"Leader, that's not it. Let me argue my case..."

In Tololo's eyes, both Cheeta, who loves playing pranks and teasing others, and Lind, who loses her temper and starts spouting nonsense whenever she's out of sweets, are far from the word "simple".

A knock came from the door.

"Tololo, it's me, Qiongjiu. Come out for a moment."

The dormitory door opened.

"Come over and explain yourself." At Qiongjiu's command, Cheeta obediently walked over.

"Here, your spaceship!" Cheeta handed over the model she kept behind her back with one hand.

Tololo was stunned to see the model - previously transformed beyond recognition - miraculously restored to its original state. There was a clanking sound, and the eight-legged "amphibious battleship" came crawling from the corridor in a bizarre way and stopped in front of Tololo. A small firework bloomed in front of Tololo with a "bang", and letters popped out one by one, spelling "Welcome aboard, Tololo!"

"You treasure your models so much, how could I possibly really dismantle them? By the way, I can take a look inside, right-"

"Hey! Cheeta, don't you know you can't just enter someone else's room?!"

"Is it okay?" Qiongjiu looked at Tololo with a smile.

Tololo hesitated for a moment.

"Mm."

Not being "simple"...doesn't necessarily seem to be a bad thing. Thinking this, Tololo opened the door to her room wide.
