"I can't sleep yet, I still have work to do..."
This article still needs to be completed. You can help us by contributing.
Record 1
Original Codename: SPAS-12; now going by the name Sabrina. When Griffin underwent restructuring, Sabrina chose to leave the organization to pursue a career as a chef, driven by her fervent passion for cuisine and the dream of one day opening her own restaurant.
At first, Sabrina could only cook by following recipes to the letter, resulting in her not being accepted by any of the dozen restaurants she applied to. With no other options left, she reluctantly accepted the harsh reality and began working as a waitress at the chain restaurant Caldo.
Although she could not realize her dream of becoming a chef right away, Sabrina remained devoted to the study of culinary arts. She discreetly observed the head chef's techniques, studied ingredients and flavor pairings, and started her own food channel, "Sabrina12", where she would interact with her audience in her livestreams titled "Sabrina's Midnight Diner".
These small but steady efforts gradually deepened Sabrina's understanding of the culinary arts, especially the dedication required to maintain consistent flavor. When Caldo ran into a supply chain crisis, Sabrina was able to draw upon her accumulated knowledge of ingredients and dishes to help the restaurant overcome that tumultuous time. This achievement led to her promotion from waitress to kitchen assistant, marking the true beginning of her journey to refine her culinary skills. Her reunion with the Dolls at Springfield's café further helped her comprehend the deeper meaning of "sincerity" that encompasses all cuisine.
Today, Sabrina's food channel has gathered a considerable following. Each night, viewers tune in to "Sabrina's Midnight Diner" to enjoy mouthwatering dishes and her warm, cheerful smile. "Ta-da! This is Sabrina12! So~ What would everyone like to eat tonight?"

"Mm... I've been thinking about losing some weight lately..." In the lounge of the Elmo, Sabrina sipped through her straw while confessing her troubles to Groza sitting beside her. "I won't be able to take the elevator with everyone if I don't slim down a little, since..." "N-not saying that I'm too heavy or anything! It's just that if everyone gets on it at the same time..." "Besides, most of our recent missions have been in sandy terrain. Moving around gets very exhausting with too much mass to haul around."
Groza pondered for a moment, "Maybe we should ask Mayling to find a lighter frame for you?" "I'm already using the lightest frame possible. Anything lighter will affect my mission performance..." Sabrina frowned and took a sip through her straw. "Ugh, forgot I replaced my milk tea with just water... But drinking water really isn't the same." Sabrina set down her cup with a touch of disappointment.
Just then, a soft ding came from the nearby oven. "Ah! My herb-roasted chicken is ready!" A rich aroma immediately filled the air as she opened the door, and Sabrina's face lit up with joy. "Want some roast chicken, Groza? Still fresh and hot from the oven! I bet it tastes great." "Aren't you going to eat some, Sabrina?" "Me? I'll just watch you dig into it. I guess watching on the side is as good as eating it myself, right? To stay in shape, I... I must resist the temptation!"
Even as she said that, her eyes remained fixated on the golden, crispy roasted chicken. Groza chuckled softly. "They say that the only way to experience delicacies is through your own tongue. Maybe... you should consider other methods of 'weight reduction'?" "Other methods... Hmm... If push comes to shove, I could take out stuff like the octagonal hammer, tungsten steel file, or torque wrench." Groza nodded. "That's a sound plan."
Sabrina's face immediately brightened. "Hehe... In that case... Can I have some chicken now? J-just one bite!" "Wow! It's super tender and tasty! Groza, you sure you don't want some?" Groza smiled and shook her head. "The rest is yours too, Rina." "Well... thank you for helping me come up with a new solution! Now I don't have to give up any of my beloved roast chicken, cakes, or ice cream!"
Record 3
Onboard the Elmo, the kitchen's usually much quieter at midnight than during the day. "Video feed... audio feed... lighting... perfect! Everything's ready." After checking her equipment, Sabrina made an "OK" sign to the Doll beside her and started the livestream. "Ta-da! This is Sabrina12! Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Sabrina's Midnight Diner! Tonight's theme shall be a 'culinary tutorial'! Sabrina has prepared an easy and delicious recipe that even beginner cooks can master-the Garlic Chicken Steak! The ingredients are simple: chicken thighs, garlic, onion, soy sauce, water, starch, and honey... Hmm, you can substitute honey with sugar, or skip it altogether if you deem necessary."
Sabrina energetically began her demonstration. A message soon popped up in the chat: "But handling garlic and onions is such a hassle..." "Don't worry!" Sabrina replied with a bright smile. She turned her body to the side, revealing another petite Doll pushing a uniquely designed machine into the frame. "This is a fully automatic food processor developed by Rina herself! Compared with similar products on the market, it automatically detects a limited range of ingredients and processes them accordingly. For example, by just putting in a whole garlic bulb and then selecting the 'Peel Garlic Mode', you'll get clean, tender cloves in seconds!" "Now we can switch it to 'Onion Mode'... See? It can handle onions perfectly too. No more tearing up while chopping!"
"If you're interested, please contact Peri from the Elmo. The information is displayed at the bottom of the screen~" "And rest assured-all of Rina's recommended products are ones she personally uses and trusts. They'll never let you down." "I wish everyone could experience the same joy and happiness while cooking as Rina does!"
After the stream ended, Sabrina quickly hurried over to Peri. "How's the result? You got any orders?" "Yeah! Several customers are already inquiring about mass production and shipping details. Demonstrating the product directly during your cooking stream was the most convincing method after all!" "Hehe, I'm glad to hear it worked out! Thanks for teaming up with me, Peri! If we keep this up... we can even relieve some of the Commander's financial pressure, right?"
Record 4
Even someone as good-tempered as Sabrina could lose her patience on occasion, such as at this very moment-
She stood before the bulletin board in the lounge, glaring at the notices posted there. Her cheeks puffed out of frustration, making her round face appear even rounder. On the board, two notices were pinned side by side. One reads, "LOST: one bottle of 25-year-old Italian balsamic vinegar. The texture is delicate and mellow, smooth and sweet as velvet. Has a rich, layered aroma of roasted nuts, ripe fruit, and wood. If found, please contact Sabrina."
And the one beside it... Whether out of disbelief or simply to double-check what she just saw, Sabrina clenched her fists and read out loud the second notice word by word.
"Whose vinegar bottle got knocked over by the cleaning robot? It was so thick it must've gone bad. I used the remaining half to clean the limescale. The empty bottle's been returned to the condiment cabinet. You're welcome."
Sabrina's head drooped low. "...My balsamic vinegar... (Sob) It was such a rare find..." "Not only has that half a bottle of vinegar been insulted, but the twenty-five years of craftsmanship, the vinegar producer's dedication, and my salary too! Ugh... Whoever did this just doesn't understand..."
After a brief moment of silence, Sabrina suddenly raised her head, her eyes blazing. "I-I'm going to find out who did this!" "I'm going to challenge them to a duel!" "I'll restore my balsamic vinegar's honor!"
Record 5
Sabrina's increasing weight had become one of Mayling's top concerns. One day, during her visit to Sabrina's dorm room. "Sabrina, let's sort through the items you're storing inside your frame, please!" "Uh... well, you know. If there's a lot of mass concentrated on a small surface area... it causes extra wear on the elevators and floors. Given Elmo's financial situation..." "I mean! Some of those items can be taken out and used as decorations for your room-they'd look nice that way too!"
Under Mayling's gentle but firm persuasion, Sabrina reluctantly began removing and organizing everything she had stored within her body. "This section is my frequently used tools!" Screwdrivers, combat knives, wrenches, adhesive tape... "This one is the refrigerated sustenance section!" An apple pie baked that very morning, some cupcakes from lunch, a can of cola, and iced coffee. "And this here is the power tools!" A chainsaw, a welding tool, and a heat gun... "And here... here's my collection of precious memories!" A cookie tin, a scratched drinking glass, and a deflated volleyball...
"These are all essentials, keepsakes left by everyone from Griffin. I keep them inside me so that, even when I'm on a mission alone, it feels like everyone's still with me. I guess you can think of them as 'Sabrina's good-luck charms'-and good-luck charms are meant to be carried close to the heart."
"...And there's Five-seven, Gr P30, and so many others who haven't yet returned to us, to the Commander's side. It's been so long since I last saw or fought alongside them. I-I really miss everyone." "When will the day come when we can all reunite under the Commander again-fighting, getting repaired, and sharing delicious food like before? We're a family that isn't whole without everyone together..." Sabrina stretched out her arms, trying to hold all those keepsakes tightly against her chest.
Mayling gently stroked the "treasures" in Sabrina's arms and nodded with a soft smile. "I'm sure that day you're waiting for will come soon. There are more Dolls onboard the Elmo now than ever before. Perhaps some of your friends are already on their way here. One day, everyone will reunite on the Elmo."
Moments later, Sabrina patted her own cheeks and lifted her face with a bright smile again. "Ah, look at me getting all sentimental... Anyway, thank you, Mayling!" "Let's leave the convoluted things to the Commander to figure out. I, too, believe that one day, we'll all be together again!"
Record 6
One summer day, Sabrina and I left the Elmo to procure supplies. "It's so hot... Commander, you okay? Holding up fine?" "My sensors show that the surface temperature is over forty degrees Celsius. I feel like my processor's about to overheat. Surely this must also be grueling for a human like you, right?
"Here, have an ice pop. You wouldn't want to get heatstroke." Sabrina handed me a fruit-flavored ice pop. "Thanks, right in the nick of time." Standing under the shade of an eave and enjoying my ice pop, I immediately felt much better. Sabrina smiled contentedly while savoring her own.
"Wait a second... I don't remember buying any ice pops earlier. Where did these come from?" "Hah! I've got a refrigeration unit built into my frame. It was added for food transport back in the day. So, if you ever want something chilled, just come to me!" "Now that you've mentioned it-How do you take those things out?" "That's a girl's secret!" Sabrina flat-out shut me down. Yet, after a brief pause, her eyes darted about as she leaned in to whisper in my ear.
Soft strands of her hair brushed my ear, followed by the faint chill of the ice pop. "...███...██..."
Just then, a cargo truck rumbled past us, its engine drowning out her whispered revelation. "What? I didn't hear it." "Huh-? I worked up all my courage to tell you! No way I'll repeat that!" "So what was it?" "I-I told you it's a girl's secret! I can't just say it out loud!"
And so, in the end, I never did learn Sabrina's secret.
Record 7
"Oh god, I'm saved!" When I visited Sabrina's dorm room, she greeted me with visible relief. Wearing an apron, she holds a half-filled bowl of soup in her left hand and a baking tray in her right, all the while her half-dried hair hung messily over her shoulders.
"What happened in here?" "I wanted to use the time when the soup was still simmering to wash my hair, but I turned up the heat too much, and it was done simmering early, and- Well... what you're seeing is the result." "As you can see, Commander, both my hands are full! Please help me- The spare hair ties are at the usual place, you know where. Save me!"
Before I knew it, I was holding two hair ties in my hands. Sabrina turned her back to me; her hair carried a mix of freshness from the lingering moisture and a faint aroma from the cooking spices.
"Hmm... how should I go about this again?" I thought to myself as I recalled what she told me the first time I helped braid her hair: "It's crucial that I have the right hairstyle; a half-up won't block my vision and will allow me to always keep an eye on what's going on in the pot." "...However, even more crucial than my hairstyle is the timing and temperature of the dish." "Commander, I'll entrust this very important task to you! If you mess it up, you might end up finding my hair in the dish, you know."
My hands began to move instinctively-gathering, braiding, and finishing it off with a bow. Having done this several times recently, I had grown used to it; the initial awkwardness had vanished, replaced with a certain confidence. Though, since I always wrapped up everything with a bow, maybe I should try something new this time?
It wasn't until after dinner that Sabrina had time to check her hair in the mirror. "...Commander? What's this...? What kind of knot is this?"
She tilted her head from side to side, and the knot I had improvised swayed along with her movements. Oh no-it looked much less tidy than I'd envisioned, and I started feeling a little guilty. "Um... I think it's called an 'endless knot'? Mayling taught me how to tie it; it's kind of a unique design." "But... fine. Anything tied by the Commander looks good anyway, hehe!" Thankfully, no matter what I did, Sabrina always met it with a satisfied smile.
Record 8
"An afternoon tea themed around the person most important to you? This round's 'Creative Video Challenge' sure sounds interesting." Beside me, Sabrina closed her creator dashboard and stared at me, her eyes sparkling. "Themed around the Commander... What should I make? Cake? French pastries? Maybe a mille-feuille?"
I thought for a moment and offered a suggestion. "Wouldn't it get a bit too one-note if it's all sweets? Maybe add some pretzels or savory pies-then you'll have a perfect balance." "Mhm! That's a good idea. Let's make two sweet and two savory dishes-and add some tea or coffee to match!"
I couldn't help but ask, "So, what do you plan to make?" "First, for the sweets... Hehe, I've never told you this before, Commander, but the color of your coat always reminded me of sweet cherries-fresh, slightly tart, with a gentle floral aftertaste... So, a cherry tart it is! Yep!" "And for the second one..."
As she spoke, Sabrina leaned in, her nose twitching slightly. "Your scent makes me crave tiramisu!" "Uhm? Is it because of the scent of coffee? That's probably because I've pulled so many all-nighters that I'm practically marinated in caffeine by this point..." Sabrina shook her head without answering, simply smiling at me.
"And there's more! I also want fried dumplings, vanilla biscuits, vitello tonnato, bacon mille-feuille..." "Pffft. I think you're just hungry, Sabrina-those have nothing to do with me anymore." "That's not true. They all... well, somehow, it's all because of you." Sabrina looked at me earnestly. "It's strange, isn't it?" "You make me think of every delicious thing I've ever tasted, of all the flavors I love-the ones that are rich, layered, and full of warmth. And whenever I eat something good without you around, I think of you again." "It's as if... every good thing in my life connects back to you."
Memories
Dream Cafeteria 1
The Commander walks in on a thoughtful Sabrina in the kitchen: like any good chef, she dreams to open her own restaurant one day, but can't decide what her concept should be. While she prefers Italian cuisine, she doesn't want to limit herself to one culture, but she also feels that creative cuisine ends up only working for its novelty instead of its quality. The Commander invites her to an international food festival in a nearby satellite city to gather ideas, and Sabrina declares it is a date.
Dream Cafeteria 2
Sabrina and the Commander share a big hotel room equipped with a kitchen to attend the festival. Sabrina magically takes ingredients and condiments from inside her body to test the equipment, and the Commander suggests she make it a field trip stream. Sabrina introduces the Commander to her viewers as a friend and taste-tester for the trip. She first thinks about continuing her "Nightmare/Eldritch cuisine series" but decides to spare the Commander with an actually edible Tuscan Chicken Stew. The streams becomes very popular thanks to the Commander's camera work and banter with Sabrina, but the Commander prefers not to show their face on stream. They decide to keep streaming during the festival.
Dream Cafeteria 3
The stream at the Tears of Time Food Festival of STU-09 begins on Sabrina 12's channel. Sabrina tastes dishes from around the world pre-WWIII, including tanghulu made from a pomegranate cultivar mimicking the taste of other fruits, since it is not practical to cultivate many of them because of soil and climate issues. The stream's chat asks to see the Commander's face since Sabrina is interacting with them, and the Commander has bought a face mask to interact on camera, but Sabrina suddenly stops the stream, unsure about her own reasons to prevent the Commander from appearing. They continue the festival tour off-stream.
Dream Cafeteria 4
After the festival, Sabrina shows the Commander the festival videos she edited. It turns out she only kept the shots with the Commander in them, reversing their usual roles to share what she likes about the Commander. After sleeping on it, she determined that she didn't want the Commander to appear on stream to keep them all to herself, and doesn't plan to actually upload the video, instead using it as inspiration for her future restaurant. Instead of trying to appeal to everyone, she decides to narrow it down to dishes the Commander like, and declares she'll need to be closer to the Commander from now on to gather more details.

Views, views... Ugh, my average view count is lower than last month.
Should I try the platform's creator promotion program...? Huh? The uploaded content needs to match the theme of the month?
And the current one is... "A World of Two: Romantic Dinner"? You can't film that by yourself!
Com~man~der. Can you please save my channel? Pretty please!
Yay! Thanks for the help! Our collaboration will surely produce a viral video, Commander!Romantic Dinner Plan I

About Her Collection
Did you drop this, Sabrina? I found it on the hallway floor.
Ah, it's my special edition Griffin sight! Thank you, Commander!
I always had it mounted. It's something that holds great emotional value to me and I can't bring myself to replace it...You've got such nostalgic feelings, huh. Let's try not to lose it again.
About Her Personal Channel
Hehe. My subscriber count increased after uploading that video of me preparing dinner for the Commander.
Are you really active on your personal channel?
Yes! As long as the connection and conditions allow, I try to upload as frequently as possible. Remember to keep following me, Commander!
Haha. I won't forget to like and subscribe.
About Weight Management
Ugh, my weight went up again after those little modifications I've made to myself...
Honestly, it's not like anyone can actually tell. You don't need to worry about your weight or anything.
But I wouldn't be able to ride on the same elevator as you if I keep getting heavier, Commander.
That does sound like a problem. Maybe we should upgrade the elevator?
About Her Inventions
How's the little gadget you mentioned a few days ago coming along?
Ah, Commander. Perfect timing! It's mostly complete.
Mind giving it a try? I can make it ever more functional with your feedback.Then let's have a look.
About Cooking
I’m always so grateful that you’re willing to give my dishes a chance, Commander.
You’re a great chef; I should be the one thanking you for these delicious meals.
Well, after all, some humans do think Doll-cooked food “has no soul”.
Barely any restaurants in the Green Zones employ Dolls, probably out of consideration for those people’s opinions.
So, thank you for approving the food cooked by a Doll, Commander.About Taste
Food really is a priority for you, Sabrina. I heard that you even modified your gustatory modules for it.
Absolutely! My taste is especially enhanced to the point where I can assess the seasoning of any dish with just a single bite.
I spent all the earnings from my cooking channels at the time to afford those enhanced modules!Looking back, it was totally worth it.
