At the End of the Journey

Clarissa

Hunt complete!

Clarissa

Ahaha. That wasn't an easy catch.

Clarissa

...Thanks, Captain.

Clarissa

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have made it this far.

Clarissa

I would've stayed frozen in place, too scared to fail.

Clarissa

So thank you for pushing me forward.

Clarissa

...Ahaha!

Clarissa

Have you been rubbing off on me? I just said something totally embarrassing without thinking!

Clarissa

Whew, it's hot. I need to cool off a bit.

Clarissa

Come on, Captain. Let's go.

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.

Lisa

...Congratulations, Savior.

Lisa

With this, you have passed the final trial of the [Journey].

Lisa

Shall we head back now?

Lisa

They are throwing a huge celebration in your honor for [completing the Journey].

Clarissa

...

Lisa

Savior...?

Clarissa

Hmm? Oh...

Lisa

...

Clarissa

Um... Wasn't there someone else?

Clarissa

I know it sounds weird, but I could've sworn... someone was here.

Lisa

Excuse me? What do you mean?

Lisa

There's been no one else but us here from the start.

Clarissa

Really...?

Clarissa

But... I'm sure there was...

Clarissa

Someone who lifted me up when I was at my lowest.

Clarissa

Someone who helped me face failure and try again!

Lisa

Savior, I'm not sure what you're talking about...

Clarissa

Lisa! Deliver this note to Candle Square.

Clarissa

It's something my tribe desperately needs. I'm counting on you!

Clarissa

You let your guard down, Captain? You really thought you could get away?

Clarissa

You seriously underestimated the best hunter of the Aruk tribe.

Clarissa

Ahaha! Now, what kind of prank should I pull next time we meet?

Clarissa

Just thinking about it has already got me excited.

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.
