Zenless Zone Zero: What does Burnice's story bring to us?

Zenless Zone Zero version 1.2 comes to an end with Burnice's EP song. In version 1.2, we got to know all the members of the Sons of Calydon, not only the warm-blooded and affectionate Caesar, but also the lively and playful Burnice.

But behind their adorable personalities, they are all Sons of Calydon who can take on heavy responsibilities in the storyline. So when we talk about Burnice, what are some of the deeper truths that her story brings to the table, in the girl who needs Caesar's help to do her pull-ups?

In a land filled with turmoil, Lucius is at war for profit. But the Sons of Calydon still choose to unite with each other, guiding the right direction for the Outer Ring. Behind Caesar's dream of justice, there is not only Lucy, who has always accompanied her, but also Burncie, the "crazy beauty", who has used her own actions to provide new colors for the Outer Ring families. Burncie proves that realizing one's dream doesn't need to be accompanied by a deep-seated grudge on one's face, but rather with a smile of contentment.

In the Proxies storyline, the protagonist siblings choose to work with Burnice and Piper on a commission due to a hacked account and Fairy's tight cash flow due to excessive electricity consumption. After we assist the grandmother in cleaning up Ethereals, they receive a scratch card as a gift. Piper is worried that Burnice's blind optimism will lead to disappointment in the end, and invites the siblings to scratch the card with Burnice in order to comfort her.

There are many details in both the episode and the anime that prove that Piper knows a lot about the scratch card and often talks about his stocks. Often exchanges money management with other truckers.

Unexpectedly, the scratch card actually hit the jackpot with a reward of 3 million Dennys. In keeping with the principle of sharing with everyone, Burnice generously shares the 3 million Dennys with his siblings. The Outer Ring gangs hear about this and try to steal the scratch card. After defeating their enemies, Burnice hears about their leader's tragic past and invites them to the Nitro-Fuel Feast.

When the prize is redeemed, Burnice and Piper from Outer Ring get a million Dennys, but only the protagonist pays 70% of the tax and gets 300,000 Dennys, which is a staggering amount of tax in New Eridu. After this, Piper chooses to spend all this money on upgrading the truck. The new truck engine is fast but has poor fuel efficiency. So the only way to get the best performance is to spend more money on gas.

Nicole the money to invest and spend their days in fear. Money makes a difference to everyone for only a moment, but everyday life becomes heavier as a result.

Only Burnice sees money as nothing, and she only cares the Sons of Calydon and her fuel drinks. She takes all temptations in stride and is happy with what she has. In order to cheer up the protagonist and Piper, Burnice chooses to take them on another commission. By coincidence, Burnice receives a scratch card and once again wins the $30 million jackpot.

The protagonist exclaims, "Lightning can strike the same place twice". Before they can realize their surprise, the protagonist informs them that the scratch card is no longer redeemable. Faced with a frustrated Piper, Burnice reassures her, "Maybe the three million dollar winnings from the previous lottery are part of the thirty million dollar winnings". It is at this point that everyone realizes that, as normal people, we only look up at the moon once in a while, and then down to look for the sixpence on the ground.

Whether it is Caesar who miraculously survives and smiles genuinely in the subsequent story, or Burnice who chooses to share his winnings with his companions and laughs about it, they all express the core theme of the Outer Ring - To Be Content With What One Has. It does not mean "resting on one's laurels", but an optimistic and positive attitude towards life. Love life with a calm heart. At the end of the story, the protagonist recovers his investment. In the face of more income and the near future, we should choose to keep our feet on the ground. The story says, "Nothing is more valuable than a down-to-earth and peaceful life."

In the episode, the Sons of Calydon are especially fond of funerals, and they don't miss an opportunity to try something they've never tried before. Caesar also often caresses his motorcycle with tenderness, and perhaps for the Outer Ring people, even the locomotives are their own best buddies.

In Burnice's PV, a cup of fuel drink is consumed. A dream of Burnice, a Fire Anomaly agent whose Anomaly might be means "Mental Anomaly ", begins. The BGM got the whole Outer Circle in a flurry of activity, and the flurry of steps paid homage to many famous classic dances. The crowd was swaying to the music, with only Lighter was showing off. The dance went from people dancing to the beat until Ethereals would dance to the beat as well. One of the Ethereal is unsteady due to a broken hand, and it's portrayed in great detail. At the beginning, the grandfather with a disdainful expression, and the Ethereals that appeared outside the hollow. This is Burnice's dream, in which everyone forgets the troubles and sorrows of life, as well as the cruelty and conflict of reality.

In the Outer Ring, people's sufferings and desires abound. Only in a dream is there a revelry without struggle, and Burnice sends her wish in her dream, that since daily life can be so wonderful, why not make every moment a happy one? Burnice's name is chanted, and the dance steps are used to settle disputes and winners.

At the end of Burnice White's PV, Lucy rushes in and doesn't forget to wipe Burnice's drool, even if Lucy seems to resent it. Whether in reality or in the dream world, Burnice is always content. Even if her life in the outer ring is not peaceful, she always loves life, treats others well and is willing to share. This is the truth under Burnice's optimistic appearance, and it is also an attitude towards life that we should learn from the family of Sons of Calydon in Zenless Zone Zero.
