To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

I don't understand why the other person likes Mei so much.

"Thank you, Aponia, I'm so happy... to see my future not only not bleak, but even brighter now?"

Alicia smiled and accepted Aponia's blessing.

She looked at Grand Grescius, Fu Hua and the Herrscher of Knowledge, Luo Mo, Mei and Kiana, and she was truly happy about it.

In particular, I've seen almost all the Lawbringers who have 'reformed'.

She is neither alone nor lonely.

...

The golden, shimmering crystal flower represents Eden.

“Eden…this time we really have to say goodbye,”

She looked toward Eden.

If Klein was the only one who truly understood Mebius, then Eden was the one who truly understood Alicia.

That's why I'm even more nervous.

"I'm sorry, I kept it a secret from you before. You won't hate me, will you?"

She awkwardly put her hands behind her back, looking at the other person's delicate face, and suddenly felt a little nervous.

"How could that be? My Ellie."

"No matter where I am, no matter what I become, I will sing for you..."

"Until the very last moment."

Eden gazed into the other's bright eyes and spoke earnestly.

Make the promise that belongs to her.

May civilization continue like a spark, may this world shine like gold… She achieved this.

"Okay, after all, that's our agreement..."

"No matter what the ending may be, we'll see it through together... okay?"

...

In the hall,

“Eden… the golden, shimmering crystal flower is truly perfect for you.”

"Do we need to say anything more?"

Alicia gave Eden, who was sitting down, a big hug, and then sat down next to her.

"Ellie, I don't mind your secrecy, don't worry," Eden said softly.

"But I care about your end, so why don't you live well?"

She asked, hands on her hips.

“…Heh,” Eden paused for a moment, then smiled calmly, “Then, on behalf of the other me, I apologize.”

"Oh no, Eden... I should be the one apologizing."

She hugged him tightly and nuzzled his hair.

...

Blue represents ice crystals, and also represents Kevin.

"As for Kevin... well, I don't really have much to tell you."

When it came to the last person, and the only man present, Alicia spoke much more formally, indicating that Kevin was someone she should take seriously.

"You are a true hero, the undisputed leader of the Thirteen Heroes."

"If there is one person who can support humanity toward a future without collapse, then... that person must be you."

She firmly believed this, and had no doubt about it.

She gave the first seat to Kevin not just because of a momentary whim or his status as a Herrscher, but more importantly... because he truly had the determination and ability to shoulder everything.

The person who always followed Mei had now become a savior.

"However, I have one last request, which is about the question you've consistently refused to answer..."

"Kevin, if you shed tears, will they freeze?"

"I was just asking, don't actually cry...act more like a boy, okay?"

"..."

"But thank you, now... I know the answer."

"Look, it really does freeze..."

"...But it's so warm."

...

In the World Snake Base,

"This time... I guess I've finally answered the question you always keep asking."

Kevin breathed a sigh of relief and said softly,

"There are also people you want to see who will be brought to your side, although this time you took the initiative to reach out to them."

He fulfilled a promise, and the burden on his shoulders seemed to lighten slightly, but only barely.

"Goodbye, Alicia."

He closed his eyes and said.

...

"Ah... I wish this moment could last forever."

The girl sighed softly, under the dreamlike starry sky.

"But no play lasts forever, right? So now, let's put a perfect end to it."

"If, in the distant future, you all encounter a 'Herrscher' like me..."

"You must find a way to tell me, that would make me so happy!"

She looked at the starry sky and made a wish.

She glanced back at the four people behind her. Wandering through the world, she had gained many close friends, so she had no regrets.

"Because I will know that people in the future will not have to face such difficult choices as we do today."

"Because I will know that the footprints we leave in this world will eventually become a light for someone else to move forward someday."

“Tragedy is not the end, but the beginning of hope.”

"Only humans would think this way, and only humans would turn such a belief into reality."

That's why she so desperately wanted to become human.

Because she had witnessed such beauty, such faith, and such miracles.

Now, it's her turn to create it herself.

"So, please tell me, at the end of this story...."

"Have I... become a 'human'?"

"certainly!"

The people in the audience said.

Velvi looked up and smiled, "Isn't this the fact right in front of us?"

"Tonight, there will be no more Herrschers here."

Aponia placed her hands on her chest and spoke softly.

"Because those who lie buried here, those whose songs will be sung for posterity, are the noble and proud warriors of the Moths of Fire, the creators of the Thirteen Heroes..." Eden sang softly, and no one disagreed.

"The Flawless One—Alicia."

Kevin finished speaking, taking a deep breath, his feet resting on tiny, indistinct ice crystals.

"Thanks!"

The person on stage said.

She smiled back, feeling happier than ever before.

"Finally, it's time to say goodbye..."

"Because I am a Herrscher, perhaps I can do it."

"But because I am human, I know I can do it."

"Then, my friends, my confidants, my most important companions..."

She said to all the people she loved deeply,

"Alicia's farewell must be dazzling and beautiful, so..."

"Please, one last time, say goodbye to me!"

Then, the stars began to rotate.

There, countless luminous threads once clung. Those were the threads of fate, visible only to Aponia.

And now, those marionettes are disappearing into nothingness, bit by bit.

It's as if a pair of hands arranging the stars are reshaping the originally predetermined future—

Wipe them away one by one.

As the ballad began, long-forgotten stories began to surface.

"That's a story from a very, very long time ago..."

"One day, He fell from the sky. People looked up and saw the stars."
