Before the Final Trial
It's late, Smile.
I'm sorry.
Lost track of time from running one last experiment.

And that those emotions are the source of one's smile.
It was proven through Smile Cat Units 1 and 2.
But I needed to confirm if it also applied to me, an artificial lifeform in another form.
So I've been staring at a photo of someone special since last night—until just now.
You were looking at a picture of your sister, right?
...

Come again, Smile?
O-oh, it was nothing.
I'm ready to go!
Yes. The Star Savior Succession Trial, the [Journey].
Its final trial will now begin.
Your opponent will be the [Executor of Aldebaran, Gille].
[Dirac's Well] has begun projection.
