At the End of the Journey
Ah...! I'm beat...
Coooo...!
With this, I'll get a lifetime stipend from Candle Square.
...So, Toto?
Do you think I managed to break out of my shell on my own?
Coo... Coo!
Ehehe... Really? That's a relief.
*Yawn*
First thing I'll do when I get back is take a nap...
But before that, let's all go to Cafe Strega to eat, laugh, and have fun together.
My treat!
Coo!
I watched her brightened face for a moment.
The one who stands at the end of the [Journey], having endured countless moments of pain and suffering.
There will be more hardships ahead.
But I believe in her.
She'll surpass me one day...
And become the greatest [Savior] of them all.
Her light was so bright... I closed my eyes.
...Congratulations, Savior.
With this, you have passed the final trial of the [Journey].
Shall we head back now?
They are throwing a huge celebration in your honor for [completing the Journey].
Coo!
...
...Savior?
Hey...
...
Wasn't someone else... just here?
Coo?
Excuse me? What do you mean?
There's been no one else but us here from the start.
...No.
I'm sure that someone else was here.
Someone who helped me break out of my shell.
Someone I owe a lifetime of gratitude.
Toto, you remember, don't you?
Coo! Coo!
Savior, I'm not sure what you're talking about...
Save the party for later. Oh! Pack me some snacks and juice, please.
Let's go, Toto!
...Coo!
My Sect Master always said to keep my promises.
I'll find you, Captain.
I'll find you, and when I do... when I do...
*Yawn*
...I'll figure it out when I get there.
Coo!
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.
