【March 7th's starry eyes looked at Stelle and said gently: "Because we have seen the bits and pieces of their lives, we will think these people are special."】

【"So even if it's not that realistic, even if there are unreasonable places, we still hope that when the ending arrives, the story can be perfect. But..."】

【"But if they... and us... are actually not that 【special】?"】

【Looking at Mikhail, who was lying quietly in the armchair, holding the dream bubble and falling into a permanent slumber, March 7th said softly: "When Mikhail sat in this chair, waiting for the Astral Express to arrive day by day, what was he thinking? If at the end of his life, he could firmly say that he never regretted it."】

【"Then now, what is this 【regret】 in our hearts...?"】

The livestream room.

"If it's my regret, perhaps it's that Mikhail didn't know the truth about Tiernan's life or death until the end."

"My regret... perhaps it's that Sunday was clearly a good person, but walked on such an extreme path."

"My regret is Gallagher's departure..."

"My regret is that Mikhail didn't wait for the Nameless of the Astral Express in the end, and couldn't see these juniors and Penacony's rebirth."

"In the final moment, was Mikhail in despair, or full of hope?"

"I think it should be full of hope, otherwise he wouldn't have left that dream bubble of the child's dream."

"This feeling of loss has never been felt in the worlds of the Xianzhou and Jarilo-VI before; perhaps there were moments, but never so touching."

【Himeko listened to March 7th's words and said leisurely: "I think we are all looking for the answer to this question."】

【Himeko's gaze looked at the sweet dream world above, all over the stars, and said gently: "The galaxy is vast, life is small, the footsteps of 【Trailblazing】 never stop, but on the scale of the universe, ordinary people can only walk a short distance in their whole lives."】

【"But it is such a short road, connected to each other, that can connect countless worlds together. Every person who leaves a sleeper on the silver rail, the universe may not remember them, but we will remember."】

【"As long as we still remember, their story 【Trailblazing】 has not ended yet."】

【"And what Mr. Mikhail left for us is the answer he gave to this question. It may not be perfect, but it can make an old Nameless who has experienced many vicissitudes smile with relief at the end of his life."】

【"And its meaning will also be interpreted by us later."】

【March 7th realized something and said softly: "The answer is not important; what's important is what we can get from others' answers... is that it?"】

【Himeko smiled slightly, nodded gently, and said: "Yes, this is 【Trailblazing】."】

The livestream room.

"Although I can't fully understand Himeko's words, I feel that the strong sense of loss in my heart is no longer so strong."

"Me too, perhaps as Himeko said, we will get our own answers to life through the stories of these Nameless."

"On the scale of the universe, even the long-lived species of the Xianzhou will eventually pass away; individual life eventually has an end, everything with form will eventually be worn away, but as long as we still remember those people, things, and spirits, and pass them on from generation to generation, then it is eternal and immortal."

"Yes, as long as we still remember, then this story has not ended, the path of Trailblazing will never end, just like Mikhail, although he passed away, the junior Nameless also took over his will and continued to move forward."

"People will pass away, but the road will remain, and one day, it will lead to a better future."

The Astral Express.

The Parlor Car.

At this time, Welt Yang, Following Dan Heng, Stelle, and March 7th, who had taken a break on the Luo Fu Xianzhou, also returned to the Astral Express.

Himeko looked at the return of her companions and revealed a bright smile: "Welcome home, everyone."

Welt Yang, Following Dan Heng, March 7th, and Stelle also smiled one after another.

Pom-Pom also stomped over and said: "Welcome passengers back to the Astral Express, this journey has been hard."

Welt Yang adjusted his glasses and said: "It's not hard, because of the revelations about the future in this game, except for the dangerous battle with Phantylia, there was no major problem."

Himeko stepped forward and said: "Then let's rest for a few days first; it will take some time to prepare for the jump to the next destination."

March 7th looked at the livestream room above and said: "Himeko, next stop, we are going to Penacony, right?"

Himeko nodded and said: "That's right, although the entire plot of Penacony was revealed in the game, no matter what, we should go there."

Following Dan Heng lowered his head and pondered: "It's just that now the truth about Penacony has been completely exposed, I don't know what the Family and the IPC plan to do; perhaps it will be even more complicated than we expected."

Subsequently, Himeko also looked at the game plot in the livestream room and sighed: "Penacony's situation is indeed complicated; even the usually lively Little March has become sentimental."

March 7th pouted and said: "I was just expressing my feelings..."

Speaking of this, March 7th's expression faded a bit of vitality and she said softly: "After all, this journey is indeed very exciting."

Afterwards, I saw March 7th reveal a lively expression again, looked at Himeko and said: "Himeko sister speaks like a teacher; if I hadn't heard Himeko talk about things before boarding the train, I would have really thought you were a teacher with rich teaching experience."

Welt Yang's expression was slightly startled upon hearing this, and then he shook his head and laughed.

Himeko smiled and said: "Perhaps this is talent; although I haven't been a teacher, I've just experienced a bit more."

Welt Yang smiled gently upon hearing this, and vaguely, he really remembered that Miss Acheron in the game plot again.

The universe is vast, the galaxy is boundless; along the way, Welt Yang has met many counterparts of old friends; although he would still be surprised at first, he could gradually get used to it.

But Acheron is indeed an exception, not because of any other complicated reasons, but simply because her past experiences are too similar to that person from Welt Yang's hometown.

The only difference is the final ending.

【In the game story, March 7th listened to Himeko's words and revealed a smile again, nodding heavily: "... Hmm."】

【Afterwards, she seemed to have returned to the cheerful and lively March 7th, smiled, and said: "Sorry sorry, for making the atmosphere so heavy—Following Dan Heng, hurry up and tell a cold joke to ease the atmosphere!"】

【Seeing this, Following Dan Heng could only shake his head silently, obviously speechless at March 7th's words.】

【However, the corners of his mouth, which were hard to notice, tilted up slightly, revealing Following Dan Heng's mood at this moment.】

【Welt Yang expressed that it didn't matter and continued: "Thinking ahead is never a bad thing. One day, we will all face farewell."】

【Following Dan Heng nodded slightly and said calmly: "But before that, we still have a long way to go."】

【Himeko sighed with a smile: "Yes, so the most important thing now is to bring our findings in Penacony to the conductor."】

【"Then get ready and set off for the next stop of 【Trailblazing】."】

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

The Seat of Divine Foresight.

Yanqing looked at the plot of the game, and after hearing Welt Yang's words, said with some emotion: "Even the Nameless will one day face farewell?"
