Star Dome Railway's live streaming room

The familiar black screen transitions to the golden moment.

Robin and Sunday were standing in the square at the golden hour.

[Xing: This place looks familiar. ]

[March 7: It was here when the stars and fireflies were attacked by fireworks. ]

"This is a perfect place. Let's wait for the dream master to arrive here." Sunday said.

The robin said, "Well. By the way, brother, I heard that you never eat sweets anymore. Even though you used to fight with me for dessert when we were kids..."

During the conversation, a melodious bell sound came from outside the screen, and it seemed to echo in the air. The robin couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and whispered softly:

"I feel like a lot of things have changed during the time I was away. What happened?" asked the robin.

“Even in a sweet dream, someone must always stay awake.”

The robin looked at him, feeling an inexplicable pain in her heart. She gently held his hand and said softly:

"But that person shouldn't be you, or anyone in particular. Brother, you're putting too much burden on yourself."

"The paradise we promised ourselves... shouldn't be like this."

"Pinocone is just a dream. It cannot eliminate the troubles and pain in reality and bring people real happiness... All it can do is provide people with a place to escape from reality, but that's all."

[Bronya: What is true happiness? I think everyone has a different answer. Realizing something that is absolutely impossible to achieve in reality is happiness.]

[Su Chang: Miss Robin has been helping the planets and people in war. This is why I know and like Miss Robin's songs! So I can especially understand her thoughts! ]

[Mockingbird: This is what I think...Pinocone's beautiful dreams can't help those who are struggling in reality]

"Remember the old man just now? If it weren't for this dream, he might have fallen into an irretrievable situation." Sunday said slowly.

The robin retorted, "Of course... but even without Pinocchio, he might have had a different life. As far as I know, the Society of Knowledge has already been promoting the corresponding rehabilitation therapy technology."

"Although that life would be much more ordinary and difficult, now that he is in a coma and receiving hospice care called "Dream", his fate... is already determined."

"Did Pinocchio give these people a future or take away their future?" The robin's eyes were full of confusion and doubt.

[March 7: What’s the difference between this and euthanasia? If it were me, I would definitely choose rehabilitation treatment.]

[Xier: However, recovery may not be successful. Although I don’t know what disease they are discussing, the latest technology means that this disease is extremely difficult to cure, or there are sequelae.]

[Xi'er: Even if the disease is cured, can disabled people with sequelae really live happily? Can such a life be considered happy?]

[Dan Heng: Should I choose to embrace the possible, broken new life, or choose to die peacefully in a beautiful dream? ]

[Blade: I finally see you again... What are you thinking? Hmm? Answer me! ]

[Dan Heng: ....I don’t know.]

[Blade: You know, you know everything, you can't run away...]

[Jingliu: You...you can't accept her departure...why...uh...uh...why did you commit that sin together with Yinyue!]

[Xing: Mirror Flow and Blade? Hiss, there is a story behind this, but why is Dan Heng also...]

"Before that, you have to know...not everyone can move towards the future." Sunday's voice was low and powerful, as if declaring a cruel fact.

He paused, then continued: "The future is to man what the sky is to birds. People mistakenly believe that flying is the nature of birds because they have never seen birds fall to their deaths."

The robin listened quietly, his thoughts drifting back to his childhood. Sunday seemed to notice this, and he asked softly: "Remember the Harmony Pigeon we adopted when we were young? How did we treat it?"

A glimmer of reminiscence flashed in her eyes, and she answered in a slightly low voice: "We carefully raised it in the cage, feeding it and changing its water every day, combing its feathers, and later... when I decided to leave Pinocchio, I opened the door of the cage and let it return to the sky."

Sunday sighed, and said, "I was afraid that it would make you sad. I did not mention this in my letter, and it fell at the window of your room soon after you left."

The robin's eyes dimmed a little, and she whispered, "...I guessed it. Otherwise, my brother would never have said nothing about its whereabouts."

"Although the ending is regrettable, I still firmly believe that this is the right choice. Birds do not break out of their shells to spend their lives in cages... Even if they are unable to fly, the sky is their home."

Sunday immediately disagreed, retorting: "But that's the problem. If there are some baby birds in this world who can't fly all their lives, how can we assert that the sky is their destiny?"

After a moment's silence, the robin replied, "You mean... the same thing happens to humans?"

"Think of the Star Train, which is a good example. The Nameless Guest made great efforts to connect the worlds and was praised by the world... However, there are only a few people who can persist in such a difficult journey, and they are not ordinary people."

"Because the cause of 'exploration' is definitely not something that ordinary people can undertake. Otherwise, how could this fate end up with the silver track being cut off, the train being abandoned, and the star god falling?"

[Ji Zi: We are still on the road of exploration. Falling is only the limit of the journey, not the end of exploration.]

【Xing: A person’s pioneering work may have an end, but the meaning of pioneering is to take over the torch from the predecessors in the darkness and go a longer distance.】

"That's a fallacy. If we follow this logic, wouldn't the future become the privilege of heroes?" the robin retorted.

"Unfortunately, this is the reality. Another name for the future is... self-worth."

"There are certainly heroes in this world, and people yearn for and praise them, but the vast majority of ordinary people will not be able to become heroes in their lifetime."

【Walter: I have some objections to these words. No one is born a hero, but great people become heroes one by one. Nameless guests, heroes are nameless, just like Tiernan and Lazarina. How many people in the dream remember their names?】

"Some are born weak and helpless, some are trapped in misfortune, and some succumb to meanness and cowardice. In the face of survival, they are all equal, and can only watch their own values ​​being plundered by external things."

The robin retorted again, "So we should love and care for the weak and give them adequate assistance, as if they were ourselves... The Ode to Harmony has always taught us this."

Sunday shook his head, looked at the robin lovingly, and continued:

“The aspiration of ‘harmony’ is indeed lofty, but even in this carefree dream, the strong will always be strong, and the weak will become weaker... Human nature is like this. It certainly has a great side, but it also has weaknesses that cannot be eliminated no matter what.”

"At the root of it all, if people can't even guarantee their survival, let alone the illusory equal future, as long as the law of "natural selection" still exists in the world... there will be baby birds that fall to the ground."

"If people don't live for the future, do they just live for the sake of survival? If my brother believes that harmony cannot save the plight of the weak, then which star god can realize our ideals?"

Sunday closed his eyes and sighed deeply:

“People always forget that once upon a time, when the first bird flew into the sky, the whole world had high expectations for it…”

He looked up at the sky and said, "From now on, no more young birds will fall to the ground and die."
