Stelle: "HOLY COW!!, this dream is a bit absurd, right?"
Stelle: "In other words, everything I experience in the dream can be counted as real and meaningful!"
Stelle: "It's the ideal destination reached through my own choices!"
Stelle: "Damn, then why the hell should I stay in reality?"
Stelle: "Wouldn't it be quite meaningful to just go dream?"
March 7th: "Hey, you're switching sides again, aren't you?"
Li Sushang: "I really can't understand. How did Sunday do it?"
Li Sushang: "To let everyone have their own unique experience in the dream…"
Li Sushang: "This must require a lot of material, right?"
Qingque: "Isn't this called the 'Dream of Taiyi'?"
Qingque: "Maybe Sunday dragged that fallen Aeon out to serve as the dream server?"
Qingque: "With an Aeon's knowledge, it shouldn't be hard to use as a material library, right?"
Topaz: "An Aeon reduced to a server… that's a fresh one."
Furina de Fontaine: "Uh… although I don't really understand the technical terms you're using."
Furina de Fontaine: "But I think it means something very powerful, right?"
....
『 [ If not for Miss Acheron's prior layout, we might have been sunk in this dream forever. ]
Black Swan looked at Acheron, her expression somewhat relieved. 』
『 ....』

Stelle: "What did my sister Acheron lay out?"
Stelle: "I haven't figured it out yet."
Stelle: "But… Black Swan, as a Memokeeper, you would also get sunk in the dream?"
Black Swan: "Heh, at this moment, the Asdana system's dream and reality intersect, even to the point of complete coverage."
Black Swan: "There is no real reality left."
Black Swan: "Unless I can leave this star system."
Black Swan: "Otherwise, it is extremely difficult to escape from this dream that is just like reality."
Boothill: "Son of a nice lady, when I went in, I never thought this would be a den of tigers and dragons!"
Boothill: "I was just tracking a faker."
Boothill: "Turns out it was a misunderstanding, and on top of that, I actually got trapped in the dream?"
March 7th: "We're all trapped in the dream, not just you…"
Hu Tao: "Maybe not everyone is trapped in the dream?"
Hu Tao: "Like Miss Hotaru, who has been missing for a long time."
Hu Tao: "She shouldn't be in the dream right now, right?"
Stelle: "Oh, right, where did my Hotaru-chan go?"
Silver Wolf: "Didn't she say a cool line before she left?"
Silver Wolf: "Something about 'May we meet again in the waking reality'?"
Silver Wolf: "So she went to reality to wait for you guys."
Hotaru: "Ah… Silver Wolf, what are you saying?"
Hotaru: "That was just a normal blessing, right?"
Hotaru: "Where was it cool?"
Paimon: "Oh, oh, I know!"
Paimon: "Because there were eight characters before that!"
Paimon: "Like fireflies to a flame, life begets death!"
Paimon: "Adding those eight characters makes it cool!"
Lumine: "Paimon, if you're going to say it like that…"
Lumine: "Then I don't think the previous part can be left out."
Lumine: "I dreamt of a…"
Hotaru: "???"
Hotaru: "I haven't said these words that many times in total… why does everyone remember them so clearly?"
Hotaru: "You can even recite them word for word?"
Furina de Fontaine: "The lines were so good, they left a deep impression, and they're catchy too."
Furina de Fontaine: "So it's hard for everyone not to remember them!"
Stelle: "What I remember most clearly is, a Galaxy Ranger, and…"
Hotaru: "Alright, alright, stop, please, don't repeat it again!"
Hotaru: "LET'S JUST KEEP WATCHING THE VIDEO!!"

『 [ Fortunately, the Path of Order governs all things, but it cannot influence Nihility itself. ]
[ I only noticed this when the Dreammaster tried to exile me at all costs. ] 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Stelle: "To be honest, the trait of Nihility not taking any negative buffs really makes me envious."
Qingque: "Nihility itself is meaningless, so applying buffs to it must also be meaningless."
Guinaifen: "But Nihility can apply negative buffs to others!"
Li Sushang: "What an unreasonable Path."
Li Sushang: "It's a pity that no one steps onto the Path of Nihility voluntarily; most are forced, right?"
Furina de Fontaine: "Thinking about it now, no wonder the Dreammaster was so tough back then."
Furina de Fontaine: "He had to be tough."
Furina de Fontaine: "If he couldn't drive Miss Acheron away, their plan wouldn't be able to proceed."
Hu Tao: "So, if Miss Acheron really didn't leave."
Hu Tao: "He was really planning to fight with real weapons!"
March 7th: "Miss Acheron's appearance directly blocked the road for those remnants of Order."
March 7th: "No matter how wary he was of Miss Acheron, he had no choice but to act."
March 7th: "After all, there is only one chance, and it was hard-won."
March 7th: "It's just that Miss Acheron left honestly, so they didn't end up fighting."
Stelle: "If they fought, it would have been a bloodbath!"
Stelle: "But I love to watch!!"
Hanabi: "Love to watch, looks good, bring more~"
....
『 [ That is also the reason why you felt an abnormality when you were with her earlier. ]
[ But I wasn't so lucky. Even as a Memokeeper, I was still affected by Order and fell into hallucinations. ]
[ However, thanks to your memory, we still have a chance to survive in a desperate situation. ]
Black Swan said to Stelle.
[ Even if mortals possess the power of a Path, they cannot create a perfect world like a god. ]
[ That is why flaws appeared in your dream. ]
[ In other words, as long as you can detect the abnormality of the world, consciousness has a chance to withdraw from the dream. ]
Acheron explained. 』

Amber: "So, as long as you realize you're dreaming, you can wake up from the dream?"
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "It only provides the opportunity; it doesn't mean you will definitely wake up."
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "It depends on how strong that person's will to wake up is."
Paimon: "Distinguishing that you are dreaming?"
Paimon: "The dreams in the video are so realistic, almost no different from reality."
Paimon: "How are you supposed to tell the difference?"
Lumine: "Even Miss Black Swan, a professional Memokeeper, had difficulty distinguishing."
Lumine: "Ordinary people certainly can't tell the difference either."
Aventurine: "The ultimate reality of the fake."
Aventurine: "Ena's dream.… Heh, truly tricky."
....
『 [ And the flaw in your dream is that Misha, who shouldn't have appeared in reality. ]
[ It was also when I opened this page of memory that I was sure I was also in a hallucination. ]
Black Swan said with some emotion.
[ So, we lost… ]
Stelle understood everything. 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Stelle: "Round and round, we're back to Misha again."
Stelle: "I didn't expect that Senior Mikhail would help us again in this way!"
Stelle: "Is this the legacy of a senior?"
Himeko: "Whether by coincidence or necessity."
Himeko: "Misha's unusual actions really helped us a lot."
Himeko: "It seems that even in Penacony, which has fallen into the Ena's dream, we are still blessed by the radiance of the Trailblaze."
March 7th: "Hey, this means fate doesn't want us to lose just like that."
March 7th: "It wants us to win!"
Stelle: "But Sunday is almost half a step to becoming an Aeon."
Stelle: "With just us few, will we win?"
Hotaru: "We will! We definitely will!"
Hotaru: "Believe in yourself!"
Hotaru: "Nothing can stop your steps of Trailblazing!"
Stelle: "Okay, then let's burst with power!"
Stelle: "At worst, I'LL JUST BLOW UP WITH HIM!!!"
Stelle: "I will, IGNITE THE CORE!!!"
Silver Wolf: "…"
....
『 [ Now, Sunday has usurped the power of the Harmonious Choir through the Charmony Festival. ]
[ Asdana has therefore fallen into the Ena's Dream, equally turning everyone into his notes. ]
[ But failure does not mean your power is weaker; on the contrary, only strong people can stand on the opposite side of the dream and break the constraints of Order. ]
[ Now, we still have a glimmer of hope. ]
[ And to put it into reality… Miss Black Swan, take us to see those who are equally strong. ]
Acheron looked at Black Swan, wanting her to lead the way.
[ Alright, please come with me. ]
Black Swan nodded, then took the two of them towards the hotel lobby.
[ Who are these people…? ]
Walking on the road, Stelle saw some people who were constantly mumbling in their sleep.
[ People who recognize the Ena's Dream and indulge in the illusion of happiness… ]
[ We have no means to wake them up now. Not even your clockwork will do the trick. ]
[ But we still have a chance to turn the situation around in other ways, let's keep walking first. ]
Acheron reminded, then continued to walk forward.
A moment later.
[ We're here. ]
Black Swan spoke.
[ Is it… Robin? ]
Stelle saw Robin standing not far away, somewhat surprised. 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Stelle: "Robin woke up so early?!"
Stelle: "Good guy, is this the gold content of the Child of Harmony?"
Stelle: "She discovered long ago that she was in a fake dream?"
Furina de Fontaine: "Mr. Sunday's dream can fool most people, but it can't fool his own sister…"
Furina de Fontaine: "What a… tragic scene…"
Nahida: "If I'm not mistaken, there must be a brother who loves her in Miss Robin's dream."
Nahida: "It's just that that brother shouldn't be the way she remembers him, right?"
March 7th: "We just can't understand."
March 7th: "Letting everyone dream while you stay awake alone."
March 7th: "Sunday, do you really not feel lonely?"
Paimon: "Paimon thinks this isn't just loneliness, this is torture worse than death."
Sunday: "To fulfill an ideal, someone is destined to sacrifice."
Sunday: "If only I need to be sacrificed to forge paradise."
Sunday: "Isn't that a kind of luck?"
Robin: "But brother, you shouldn't have to bear all this!"
Robin: "There is no 'you' in the paradise you forged."
Robin: "Does this still count as 'our' paradise?"
Sunday: "Sigh, there is no absolutely perfect paradise in the world; with my ability, this is all I can do."
Sunday: "I understood this truth from the very beginning."
Sunday: "But even so, I still have to try."
Sunday: "Because there is only one chance, if I don't act, I'm afraid there will be no more chances…"
Stelle: "Forget it, you guy, you've become paranoid and obsessed."
Stelle: "Just wait for us to wake you up with a hard slap!"
....
『 [ Finally, you've come. ]
Robin turned around and saw the three of them.
[ Meet Miss Robin. ]
[ She is someone who woke up from the Ena's Dream by her own will, and it is this strong young lady who has tirelessly used her singing to lead us here. ] 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
March 7th: "Miss Robin is amazing."
March 7th: "She could wake up by herself."
March 7th: "Unlike us, we'd probably still be giggling in the dream right now."
Furina de Fontaine: "Is Miss Robin's singing effective here?"
Dan Heng: "The current Ena's Dream is extremely solid, and the power of Harmony is suppressed to the lowest level."
Dan Heng: "So the effect should be minimal."
Welt Yang: "But for those who have a chance to wake up in the dream, it should be helpful."
Hu Tao: "Miss Robin is still as kind and reliable as ever."
Hu Tao: "So good!"
Stelle: "My bird is beautiful, kind, and sings well!"
Stelle: "I've long been a hardcore fan of my bird!"
....
『 [ The reason I was able to wake up is the same as everyone's. ]
[ In the dream, I experienced some things that would never happen in reality… ]
After Robin finished speaking, the screen changed, and the dream she experienced began to emerge.
[ Do we really have to keep it in a cage? ]
[ I hope it can fly freely in the sky. ]
Young Robin held the small Charmony Dove, her eyes showing reluctance.
[ This bird is still very weak. ]
[ If it leaves our care, I'm afraid it won't survive on its own. ]
[ Do you want to watch it die? ]
Young Sunday explained from the side.
[ I don't want to, but… ]
Robin hesitated to speak.
[ … ]
[ Then let's take care of it together until the day it can return to the sky. ]
After a moment of silence, Sunday said with a smile.
[ …Eh? ]
Robin looked at her brother in surprise.
[ Birds grow wings because they want to fly. ]
[ Even if it falls to the ground one day, we shouldn't imprison it in a cage. ]
[ Since birds belong to the sky by birth, we should let it return there. Right? ] 』

Stelle: "Ah, this…"
Stelle: "The same scene, different development…"
Stelle: "It makes me feel a mix of emotions."
Hotaru: "The young Miss Robin and Mr. Sunday reached a consensus on their philosophy…"
Hotaru: "This scene was too beautiful, causing Miss Robin to feel a false sense of…"
Furina de Fontaine: "Sigh… how I wish this scene could be real."
Furina de Fontaine: "However, reality is always imperfect."
Nahida: "There are so many people willing to indulge in dreams…"
Nahida: "I think it's because there are too many unsatisfactory things in the imperfect real world, right?"
Nahida: "So, we should strive to make reality better, rather than indulging in the void of dreams…"
