At the End of the Journey
...It's over.
So now... it's all right?
Yes. Now that the flames that were worsening the condition are contained...
Once I leave, that phenomenon called the [Vestige of Corruption] will properly disappear as well.
You must feel relieved.
Bound to leave something behind.
Your belief was not wrong, Captain.
Or, rather... You should move forward with the resolve to make it right.
I watched her shadowed expression for a moment.
The one who stands at the end of the [Journey], having forged a bond of cooperation once believed impossible.
As many hardships as the failures she has endured until now await her.
But I believe in her.
Once she returns to the place where she truly belongs...
She will surely become a star shining brighter than before.
Thinking of that dazzling sight... I closed my eyes.
"I won't forget," huh...
To say that after coming this far, you really are a fool.
Congratulations, Hilde.
With this, you have passed the final trial of the [Journey].
It's now time for you to return to your original world.
We will activate the return spell through [Dirac's Well].
Once you cross the timeline, everything you experienced here will feel like a dream.
...I suppose so.
I'll depart at once, without delay.
Lingering over farewells would only... become an obstacle.
And so, another new starlight ignited.
Its radiant flame was etched into the Archive—a beacon to pierce the endless dark of the cosmos.
Observation complete.
