At the End of the Journey
We've finally made it.
We arrived at the end of the Journey...
You did well, Seira.
...You too, Captain.
Ah... the butterfly...
The blue butterfly resting on Seira's fingertip began to flutter rapidly.
...I believe I need to apologize to you once more... Captain.
Why...?
My power... isn't something that can be controlled... just by becoming stronger...
Even with the power of the Star Savior... there was a chance that I couldn't reach the future I wished for...
A part of me... expected this...
The butterfly lifted off into the air, circled once, and landed again on her hand.
...My power has grown too strong... It's beyond what I can suppress now.
Even if... I couldn't get what I wanted...
I still wanted to come this far with you, Captain...
That's why... I didn't say anything.
I'm sorry... Captain...
...There's nothing for you to be sorry about.
But then...
If I stay in NOA any longer, an uncontrollable dream domain will expand again.
...Seira.
...It's all right. Every dream has to end someday...
...
It's just... time for me to wake up now...
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 ba—
*Yawn...*
...Ah, I'm feeling so sleepy all of the sudden...
I'm sorry... it seems I'll have to... head back firs—
*Thud*
Zzzz...
...
...Captain...
So this is how the Journey ends…
Now I'll probably... begin wandering through new dreams again.
...
But I'm not sad.
Because now... I have a purpose—to find you among the countless dreams.
So... I won't be lonely anymore.
I'll find your dream again, Captain, and come to see you once more.
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.
