March 7th: "To defeat Nihility, Miss Acheron has gone further and further down the path of Nihility…"
March 7th: "Honestly, back in the day, I definitely wouldn't have believed someone this outrageous could exist!"
Stelle: "She even gained power equivalent to an Emanator through it."
Stelle: "Tsk, if I didn't know this was impossible to replicate, I'd definitely want to give it a try."
Stelle: "Just by delving deep into a Path, you can gain power equivalent to an Emanator. I feel like Nihility is truly unique in that regard."
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "But you should understand, those who can delve to such depths while still retaining their sense of self are one in a million."
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "Her existence is nothing short of a miracle."
Furina de Fontaine: "Wow, Miss Acheron's 'gold content' is really high."
Hu Tao: "Speaking of which, this fatal flaw that Miss Black Swan mentioned."
Hu Tao: "Has anyone figured out what it is?"
Paimon: "I can't think of it. Everything seems pretty normal, right?"
Paimon: "Where is the fatal flaw?"
Zhongli: "No, the flaw is quite obvious."
Zhongli: "There is a key figure who runs through the plot from beginning to end."
Zhongli: "But in reality, he shouldn't exist at all."
Hu Tao: "Shouldn't exist in reality?"
Hu Tao: "Consultant, are you referring to someone who can only exist in dreams?"
Stelle: "I remembered!"
Stelle: "It's Misha!"
Stelle: "I saw Misha the moment I arrived at The Reverie hotel in reality!"
Stelle: "But as someone born from a dream bubble, HE SHOULDN'T BE APPEARING IN A REAL-WORLD HOTEL!!"
March 7th: "THAT'S RIGHT!!"
March 7th: "Misha is similar to a Memetic Entity, how could he possibly appear in reality?!"
March 7th: "So what exactly is going on?!"
Welt Yang: "Two possibilities."
Welt Yang: "Either Misha temporarily gained the ability to appear in reality because he possesses the power of Trailblaze."
Welt Yang: "But I think the power of Trailblaze doesn't have that kind of capability."
Welt Yang: "And the other possibility is…"
Welt Yang: "At this moment, Penacony… has long since ceased to have any reality…"
Guinaifen: "No… no reality anymore?!"
Li Sushang: "I don't really get it!"
Li Sushang: "Are you saying… Penacony has been in a dream from the very beginning?"
Qingque: "I feel like that's how it should be understood, right?"
....
『 [ I remembered! ]
[ The flaw is Misha! ]
[ It was the first meeting with Misha at the hotel! ]
Stelle calmed down and pondered for a moment, finally remembering where this fatal flaw lay!
[ Heh, little Misha… or should I call him the Watchmaker? ]
[ As a memory from a dream bubble, he left it because he harbored the will of the Trailblaze, and even went on a great adventure in Penacony… ]
[ It's a pity that this little Misha is, at the end of the day, just a special Memetic Entity. ]
[ Even if the power of the Trailblaze makes him all-powerful, there is one thing he can never do— ]
[ —A life born from the Memoria can never appear in reality. ]
[ Then, why did he meet you at The Reverie hotel in reality? ]
[ The answer is simple: because he is precisely that fatal flaw that contradicts all known information. ]
[ And this also means that you, who are deeply convinced of this memory… ]
[ At this very moment, are still in a dream. ]
[ Wake up, Stelle. ]
[ Break free from this endless dream and return to the waking world—we will all find the answers there. ] 』

Paimon: "Dreams… it's all dreams… what on earth is reality?"
Paimon: "After watching this, Paimon can't distinguish between reality and dreams at all anymore."
Paimon: "Lumine, do you think we're dreaming right now?"
Paimon: "Could it be that we're stuck in a deeper Sabzeruz Festival and haven't gotten out, which is why we're having these weird dreams?!"
Paimon: "Are all the people in this live stream just figments of a dream too??"
Nahida: "Paimon, don't worry, you are not dreaming right now."
Nahida: "Even if it were a dream, it has to be constructed based on memories and cognition within the brain."
Nahida: "But obviously, we people of Teyvat cannot possibly have cognition of worlds outside the universe."
Nahida: "Without that kind of cognition, you naturally couldn't create such a logical dream."
Hu Tao: "Then the question arises."
Hu Tao: "If Miss Stelle has been in a dream from the start."
Hu Tao: "Then is everything she experienced real or fake?"
Hu Tao: "Is it just her own fantasy from beginning to end…"
Hu Tao: "Or is it that for the first half, everyone was in the same dream?"
Furina de Fontaine: "Judging from the video, in the first half, everyone was likely in the same dream."
Furina de Fontaine: "Of course, I can't say for sure."
Furina de Fontaine: "Because what Miss Stelle experienced later also felt very real…"
Furina de Fontaine: "Forget it, thinking about it carefully, I can't tell."
Furina de Fontaine: "I can only say, Sunday's handiwork is too terrifying."
Furina de Fontaine: "It makes it impossible for people to distinguish between reality and dreams."
Lumine: "I suddenly have a question, if it's this real, can it even be called a dream?"
Lumine: "If not for Miss Black Swan's reminder, Miss Stelle could have continued her adventure and trailblazing in this dream!"
Lumine: "Isn't that just… insane?"
Stelle: "I think Sunday is really something now."
Stelle: "Compared to him, Phantylia is quite lackluster."
March 7th: "Hey, the enemy being strong isn't a good thing for us, is it?"
March 7th: "Just like now, we're being played like fiddles."
....
『 The scene shifts, black Swan disappears, Stelle begins to sit on the sofa, waiting for the jump.
[ The train is about to make the jump! ]
[ 5, 4, 3, 2… ]
Following Pam's countdown, many fragmented dream scenes began to flash before Stelle's eyes, and when the countdown ended, Stelle's vision went black.
When she woke up again, she found herself in a hotel room. 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Stelle: "This…"
Stelle: "Where did this bring me?"
Stelle: "I jumped to a hotel room?"
March 7th: "Such a familiar room, is it the room Stelle ended up in inexplicably at the start?"
Furina de Fontaine: "As expected, it was all a dream."
Furina de Fontaine: "Is Miss Stelle… waking up from the dream now?"
Acheron: "No, she is still in a dream."
Acheron: "However, she is in a conscious state."
Black Swan: "Perhaps it can be understood that she has escaped the dream within a dream."
Black Swan: "She, or rather everyone, had fallen asleep in Penacony's dream world and slipped into a deeper dream."
Hu Tao: "Falling asleep in a dream?!"
Hu Tao: "Is that really something that can be done??"
Hu Tao: "Unbelievable!"
Qingque: "Eh? I remember someone saying something?"
Qingque: "The impossible in a dream is not death, but slumber?"
Qingque: "But now, this impossibility has also become possible?"
Asta: "Slumbering in a dream… just thinking about it is terrifying."
Asta: "If you fall asleep in a dream, how do you wake up?"
Himeko: "With strong willpower."
Himeko: "And that is destined to be something few people can achieve…"
....
『 [ Over here, my dear. ]
Black Swan's voice came from outside the room.
Stelle began to walk out of the room.
[ Another one… ]
[ Great. ]
[ Much obliged, Miss Black Swan. ]
After Stelle walked out, she heard Acheron's voice.
[ I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. ]
Black Swan showed a relieved expression.
[ This scene feels familiar… ]
Stelle looked at the two of them and at the somewhat familiar surroundings around them, feeling very confused.
[ I know you are bewildered right now, and we will try our best to explain it to you. ]
[ But before we clarify the ins and outs of everything, you must understand one thing… ]
[ This place is the rift between dream and reality. A place reserved only for those who have awakened from Ena's dream. ] 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Stelle: "Ena's dream?? Good grief, they even named it after the Aeon of Order."
Stelle: "Don't tell me, did Sunday actually resurrect Order?"
March 7th: "Oh gawd, you're kidding, right?"
March 7th: "It's actually an Aeon's dream, how are we supposed to get out of this?!"
Himeko: "No need to panic."
Himeko: "Remember?"
Himeko: "Sunday said that he is not trying to resurrect any Aeon."
Himeko: "What he wants to do is create a world without Aeons."
Himeko: "So, he won't directly resurrect the Aeon of Order."
March 7th: "Phew… that's good!"
March 7th: "If an Aeon were resurrected, we might as well just lie down and give up…"
March 7th: "After all, no matter how strong we are, we can't beat an Aeon, right?"
Stelle: "Tch, watch me explode with an Aeon!"
Stelle: "Give 'em a good tickle!"
Hu Tao: "Ha, that's not something you should be exploding with."
....
『 [ Remember Sunday's ambition? ]
[ He planned to use the Stellaron, the will of over 100, 000 members of the Oak Family, and the wishes of all beings in Penacony to usurp the Authority of Harmony and make Order reappear in the world. ]
Black Swan spoke softly, recapping the events for Stelle.
[ Regrettably, that is not the whole truth. ]
[ Back when we first entered Asdana, we had already been affected by the Stellaron. ]
[ Looking back, that strange dream where you and I met was perhaps a precursor to our thoughts beginning to drift. ] 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Furina de Fontaine: "Already affected by the Stellaron upon entering Asdana??"
Furina de Fontaine: "Is the power of a Stellaron that terrifying?"
Furina de Fontaine: "It can affect an entire star system?!"
Stelle: "It can't be that outrageous, right?"
Stelle: "It must be that this Stellaron in Penacony was tampered with."
Stelle: "Plus the special nature of the Asdana star system."
March 7th: "Asdana is full of Memoria, and with the help of this Memoria, the radiation range of the Stellaron can clearly be enlarged, right?"
March 7th: "So, this is actually a Stellaron disaster in disguise?"
March 7th: "Geez, after all the twists and turns, we still can't avoid getting involved in eliminating a Stellaron disaster."
....
『 [ You mean… ]
[ I fell asleep on the Express? ]
Stelle asked with some suspicion.
[ I think… Order's goal is not to make everyone fall into a deep slumber. ]
[ On the contrary, they used the Stellaron to catalyze the permeation of Asdana's Memoria into the material world, allowing the dream and reality to merge. ]
[ ..And that included a lot of memoria from the Beyond the Sky Choir. As time came and went, the dreams eventually became indistinguishable from reality, and reality became an illusion. ]
[ People think they are awake, but their spirits have long since stepped into the temple of Order. ] 』

Stelle: "HOLY COW!!!"
Stelle: "I get it now!!"
Stelle: "My perspective was too narrow!"
Stelle: "Sunday, I didn't expect your ambition to be this big?!!"
March 7th: "You're all jumpy, what's with that?"
March 7th: "What did you get?"
Stelle: "Haven't you realized yet?"
Stelle: "Sunday intends to turn the entire universe into the dream paradise he spoke of!"
Qingque: "Wait… what the hell?!"
Qingque: "Drag the whole universe into a dream??"
Qingque: "Is he crazy?!"
March 7th: "Permeating the material world, merging dream and reality…"
March 7th: "Uh… he actually wants to do that?"
March 7th: "The key is, he has already begun to do it!!"
March 7th: "That's too outrageous, right?!"
Seele: "I thought it was just Penacony's family business… how is this trending towards a universal catastrophe?"
Furina de Fontaine: "As expected of Penacony's ultimate villain, this capability leaves me speechless."
Paimon: "Speaking of which, is Mr. Sunday thinking… as long as the whole universe can become a dream world?"
Paimon: "Then there's no distinction between reality?"
Paimon: "Anyway, everyone is in a dream, so the dream is the true reality!"
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "Hmm… theoretically speaking, that is the case."
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "And this can indeed construct the paradise he envisions in his heart."
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "But the only problem is!"
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "It is impossible for him to truly shroud the entire universe under the Dream of the Eon."
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "Because, even if everyone is powerless to resist."
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "The Aeons in this universe won't just sit by and watch."
Hu Tao: "That's right, with other Aeons around, how could they tolerate the Ena's dream shrouding their heads?"
Hu Tao: "But I have to say, this idea of Sunday's is too crazy!"
Aventurine: "The logic is fine, the problem is the person."
Aventurine: "He is not strong enough, so he cannot complete this grand plan."
Aventurine: "Of course, no one can complete this plan, not even an Aeon."
Stelle: "What a pity, a life where every day is Sunday is ultimately unrealistic."
Stelle: "To be fair, if Sunday could really turn the whole universe into a dream, I think it would be pretty fresh."
....
『 [ This is what makes Ena's Dream so powerful. In this paradise governed by the Order, everyone indulges in their delightful dreams and lives happily ever after. ]
[ I think, except for that one flaw, what you experienced in the sweet dream was still something that truly happened. ]
[ Only in this way could he let you reach the ideal destination: saving Penacony from its crisis and embarking on the next Trailblaze. ] 』
