Honkai: It’s broken, I have become the Herrscher of Corrosion?

"Eden... Great, you are still safe and sound. So, this is also Su's arrangement?"

"Yes. I know everything that happened before. And now, I guess I am the only one left in the paradise."

"I'm sorry... It's my fault. If I could have been faster..."

"Please don't blame yourself, Mei-san. Ai Li's life was so colorful that it's hard to ask you to restore all of her memories from the short time you were in Paradise. You've done your best by coming here. Next... I'll fulfill my mission."

"The loss of a memory must be made up by another memory. You have already completed the ninety-nine steps towards Ellie, and I will take the last step. As Ellie's friend, the person who has been with her the longest, the long time we have spent together, the precious memories we have shared... Now, all of them will become the path for you to move forward."

Looking at Eden's resolute expression, Mei immediately thought of something.

"Complete memories... But, as a memory, if you use your own memories to complete the existence of Alicia, you will..."

"Well, I'll be a part of her forever. Isn't that a very... romantic thing?"

"Eden..."

"Please don't worry about me, Miss Mei. I am not afraid of any form of "death". To me, life is just a long drama. As long as it can end in the most appropriate time and in the most beautiful way, then the performance will be perfect. This is also her wish. So, let's start. The time to let them bloom has finally arrived."

Four crystal flowers flew out from Mei's body.

"Mei, do you remember what I told you? This is a "secret" kept by a few heroes. I'm sorry, I can't tell you everything without their permission."

“Rather than an amulet, it is more like a token, a ‘key’… It seals an unknown past in this brilliant color.”

"Is it that... "Last Banquet"? Of course I remember it... This is natural, the "Alishia" in the paradise did not really experience what happened that night. Therefore, the only one who can bury it here... is "someone else".

"The four witnesses of the "banquet"... were also the four people who saw her leave this world that night. That banquet was the farewell that Ai Li prepared for herself. She arranged everything for the banquet, including, of course, her final day as a "hersr".

"We will never forget what happened on that day, so we preserved the memory of that time and divided the key to unlock this memory into four. Now, the four crystal flowers have gathered together, which means that the keepers of the secret have all acknowledged your will."

"Well, it's time to bring everything back to light. Miss Mei, I'll leave everything else in your hands..."

Eden held her hand, and the light of the crystal flowers intertwined, weaving the most precious memories of the singer at the end of the era.

"Please bring Ai Li... and our "hope" back to this world."

(Switching to Alicia's perspective...)

Seeing the conversation between Eden and Mei, Alicia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Eden... is indeed the best actress. Even I, who knows the truth, was moved by her."

With the twelve heroes and Ling, there were thirteen people in total in this room. The originally spacious room immediately became much more crowded. When everyone came up with this idea at the same time, the house seemed to understand everyone's ideas and automatically became larger and taller.

"…It's Aino who's back, right?"

"Of course, the final [performance] is the climax of the show, and I don't want to miss it."

As soon as Alicia finished speaking, Enosia appeared in front of everyone.

"Then... I think my sister is ready as well."
