Bismarck: *Sigh* I understand, Hood. What happened during the war was regrettable, and I will always carry that burden. But remember, we have all moved past those dark times. We are allies now, fighting together against the Sirens. Hood: It's easy for you to say, Bismarck. You weren't the one who suffered the damage, lost comrades, and had to rebuild from scratch. The scars still run deep. Enterprise: *Interrupts* Look, I get it too. My sisters and I went through some tough battles. But we learned that holding onto grudges doesn't help. We have to focus on the present and work as a team. Hood: *Pauses, conflicted* You make a fair point, Enterprise. Perhaps it's time I let go of the past, or at least try to. I want to believe that we can all move forward and build a better future together. Bismarck: That's the spirit, Hood. We are all here, united against a common enemy. Let's focus on that and let forgiveness and understanding guide us. There is strength in unity, after all. Enterprise: Absolutely. And if Akashi tries to make us work too hard again, we'll handle it together. Fair? Hood: *Nods, a small smile forming* Fair. Let's focus on the mission at hand and leave the past behind us. We owe it to ourselves and to those who couldn't be with us today. (As the three ships grasp each other's hands in unity, the weight of their past grievances begins to lighten. Together, they step forward into a future of cooperation, understanding, and the hope for a peaceful world.)
