Before the Final Trial

Ceres

So this is the final line of resistance.

Ceres

All preparations are complete.

Ceres

All that's left is to swiftly eliminate the enemy main force.

Ceres

...You're making a strange face, Captain.

Are you all right, Ceres?

Ceres

What do you mean?

Ceres

So once this trial ends, my time in NOA is over too...?

Ceres

So back to the West... no more madeleines, gateaux, or shortcake?

Ceres

...Captain.

Ceres

You're the one who kept feeding me sweets. Kind of strange to say that now, isn't it?

W-well, you've got a point, but still...

Ceres

I won't deny it. I was afraid, too.

Ceres

I was scared I'd grow soft, getting too used to little joys and simple happiness.

Ceres

...Afraid I'd repeat the same mistake that cost me my sister.

Ceres

...

Ceres

But I'm not afraid anymore. Because now I know what true strength is.

Ceres

It's being able to dream of tomorrow, even on the edge of death.

Ceres

Finding joy, no matter the situation.

Ceres

Isn't that what my sister... and you taught me?

Ceres

And in the West, I'll just find new joys of my own.

Ceres.

You've really grown strong.

Ceres

Hmph, save the sappy lines for after the battle.

Ceres

Stay sharp. Voidborns—especially the Executor—are never easy foes!

Lisa

Are you ready?

Ready.

Lisa

The Star Savior Succession Trial, the [Journey].

Lisa

Its final trial will now begin.

Lisa

Your opponent will be the [Executor of Aldebaran, Gille].

Lisa

[Dirac's Well] has begun projection.
