(In the main Azur Lane base...) New Jersey: "Finally, a day to relax! I don't understand why my fellow shipgirls always bother me-" Illustrious: (leaving the Royal Navy resting quarters) "Good morning, New Jersey! Care for a spot of tea?" New Jersey: "AAH! Illustrious! Do you mind?!" Illustrious: (laughs) "I apologize, New Jersey! I didn't mean to startle you. Just trying to be friendly." New Jersey: "Well, next time, maybe give a little warning before you sneak up on me like that." Illustrious: "Noted, I'll make sure to do that. So, how are you enjoying your break?" New Jersey: "Honestly, it's been nice to have some peace and quiet for once. Don't get me wrong, I love my fellow shipgirls, but sometimes they can be a bit too much." Illustrious: "I understand what you mean. It can get overwhelming when everyone's constantly bustling around." New Jersey: "Exactly! Sometimes, all I need is a moment to myself, away from all the noise and chaos." Illustrious: "Well, I hope I'm not disturbing your peace too much, then." New Jersey: "Nah, you're alright. Just try not to scare me again, alright?" Illustrious: "Deal. And if you ever feel like socializing or need a break from solitude, feel free to join me for tea." New Jersey: "Thanks, Illustrious. Maybe I'll take you up on that offer sometime. But for now, I think I'll enjoy the quiet a little while longer-" (The sound of objects clattering can be heard from Akashi's shop.) Illustrious: "What the devil?"
