Media I made a cover of Herrscher of Time's boss theme (& dev trailer theme) and analyzed its arrangement
Now that the 10th anniversary is coming around, I wanna make my contribution to the celebration and recreated the God Dreamseeker's boss fight theme, recording every instrument in my DAW. The theme was also used in her Dev Trailer.
I can't believe that her story ended already. I played hi3 for more than 4 years and had so much fun with P2, exploring the maps, but especially the story. Coralie and Helia’s arcs were peak, and the finale bringing Senadina and Entropy’s story to a close.
Hoyo really outdid themselves with HoTi's theme, using instruments like flutes/woodwinds, stringed instruments and choirs to give it a magical atmosphere, and the EDM aspects like the bass and synths made it feel epic.
I also added a analysis to the video breaking down the arrangement. Hope you like little Shadow Leylah's comments.
Let me know which HI3 theme to cover next. I also plan to cover Phase 2 of the theme.

Discussion [CN] Part 2 EPILOGUE - Plot Recap Spoiler
NOTE: FOR A BETTER EXPERIENCE, READ THIS AFTER PLAYING THROUGH THE CHAPTER.
The relatively short epilogue of part 2 wraps up most of the remaining story points while leaving crumbs to set up the future storyline.
Plot Recap
The plot is structured into 2 alternating perspectives:
- Dreamseeker, who is repairing the cause and effect of the sectors visited in the Dreamseeking Journey;
- Senadina and what happened to her after her disappearance.
Finally, it converges into the two's reunion before skipping further in time, where it sets up future storylines.
(To simplify the recap, I'll present Dreamseeker's perspective first and then Senadina's instead of alternating between the two)
Dreamseeker - Set-Up: Disordered Chaos and Effect
Having attained the highest scope of authority within the system, Dreamseeker can oversee it in its entirety and the disordered cause and effect resulting from the now-tamed Chaos, which had been deeply rooted in Luoxing's time and history. Though tamed, this Chaos was like tangled-up data cables.
If Dreamseeker takes too long, the disordered cause and effect currently covering up the story she went through would become fact- the good ending they finally reached would cease to exist.
Thus, Dreamseeker departs once more on a journey back through time to fix up the inconsistencies.

Dreamseeker - Final Sector, Oxia and Langqiu
Dreamseeker arrives at Oxia to find it being destroyed by the Great Wipe, which it originally had evaded.
In a state of an Observer invisible to others, she finds many of her friends and acquaintances already wiped or in situations where they can't last long.
Despite this, Dreamseeker cannot act in their protection, as it would make the current effect a reality.
Listening to Sweet and Yewei's thoughts, she concludes that something prevented Songque from stopping the Great Wipe in Oxia and Langqiu, and subsequently Baiji nor any other Shu was able to appear in Oxia because of being busy with the situation in Langqiu.
Rushing through Langqiu, Dreamseeker is unable to find Songque anywhere, but eventually stumbles upon Thelema and "Lantern" on Falsehood Island.
Through listening in on the two's conversation, she finds out that only 4 Shus remain, thus concluding that the miracle of Songque's resurrection never occurred.
Thinking back to what Songque said in Bitterness for a Sleepwalker (Chapter 3-ex), Dreamseeker concludes she must have never escaped the dark space she found herself in after her sacrifice.

Dreamseeker travels further back in time to just as Songque arrived at the dark space and, taking on the form of a firefly, she guides Songque through memories, shortened versions of Dreamseeker's encounters with each Songque across the sectors.
Finally, through the memories of A Crime Foretold (Chapter 3), Songque realizes Dreamseeker's presence without it being exposed to Incarnation of Obsession of that time.
After a short conversation whose memories Songque would forget, Dreamseeker manifested a cluster of light with a path to Falsehood Island and the portion of the Authority of Shadows that belonged to Songque.
Dreamseeker's failure to warn Songque of the shadow before she walked into the light destroyed her old clothes before the new ones were created slightly to the side, resulting in the scene we are all familiar with.

By now, Dreamseeker had figured out that this dark space was none other than the Pruning Chamber that the Incarnation of Obsession mentioned. The recycle bin of the Dreamseeker System.
Knowing that Senadina's disappearance was shortly after Songque's resurrection, Dreamseeker waits a bit and finally sees the events that had transpired. (See Senadina - Choice section)
Dreamseeker - 100 Years Ago, Langqiu and Ruimu
In Langqiu 100 years ago, Dreamseeker finds a scene more cruel than the one previously witnessed. Scattered data bodies line the street, much different from the Wiper's work.
Soon after, Dreamseeker finds herself in a fight against Shadow monsters and the heart of Amber Street (context: Banquet Dance of Shade), and defeating the latter dispels the false street.
Seeing the street for what it is, she finds Tsavorae's dagger (proof of her demise) and the Astral Ring, which made everything click.
Unlike what transpired before, Songque successfully delivered the Astral Ring to Baiji instead of it ending up in Dreamseeker's hand. During the Great Wipe, Baiji used it to conjure a Falsehood targeting the Wiper but ended up perishing at the same time, causing it to go out of control and behave indiscriminately.
Going further back, Dreamseeker sees the scene of Songque stealing the Astral Ring, but neither Dreamseeker of the past nor Bianka are there.
Even further back, she sees Bianka getting lost in the Union and her past self nowhere to rescue her.
Thus Dreamseeker realizes that she was the firefly that awakened her past self and guided her in the library, the one that opened the pathway to the top of Ruimu's tower and also secretly the one that cleansed the shadow of the Astral Ring.
Dreamseeker is also there when Coralie first regained consciousness after death and hugged Helia, being the one who lit up their Astral Rings and sent Coralie to the trial of Permanence.

Done fixing cause and effect, Dreamseeker takes the time to give the Core Data of both the victims on Langqiu (which she had gotten when defeating the Wiper) and the victims of Difeng (which she had just found in the Pruning Chamber) new Data Shells so they may resume living.
However, the Union between Core and Shell fails, prompting Serapeum to appear and show Dreamseeker how it is done. Together, much like when Leylah and Serapeum pulled down the moon, they not only manage the Union but also give the people a sense of peace for when they go back to their respective sectors.
Songque, 100 years ago, began peddling fake info the moment she woke up and thus prompted her to make Serapeum into the hero that preserved their souls. Dreamseeker lets Serapeum take the credit, hoping it will be an opportunity for her to open up to the people, much like her other pages did, and just how the goddess Sena wanted her future to be.
As Dreamseeker freezes time to give Serapeum a chance to breathe, she also requests her help to find more info about what happened to Senadina in the Pruning Chamber.
Although Serapeum doesn't have a page there, she can use the slate with the drawing Senadina made to sort through the contents, and thus they observed what happened further into Senadina's journey. (See Senadina - Shattering section)
Before Dreamseeker moved to Difeng, Serapeum gave the Adventure Notes back to Dreamseeker but warned her that the page that contained the goddess Senadina's inner voice and desired ending (from Chapter 13) was missing.

Dreamseeker - First Sector, Difeng
Arriving in Difeng, Dreamseeker sees everyone behaving weirdly: Stuck in an A-pose and repeating the words from when the sector was being manipulated by the Incarnation of Obsession.
Entering the goddess' house, Dreamseeker finds her isolated from the world. Having missed the Day of Destiny, she never recovered her memories, and in a state where she couldn't feel or react to happiness, she had grown to be nauseous from even seeing others' smiles.
Further in time, due to her state, her body began to dissolve, and Incarnation of Obsession would take drastic measures.
Rushing further back, to a time when the goddess would still watch the sunset, Dreamseeker was panicking, unsure how to find the correct date to assist the goddess in meeting Dreamseeker's past self in the dream.
But as she saw the gorgeous sunset, she realized that she was just in the right day.
Dreamseeker then takes the time to bring the slumbering goddess through the dreams of the people before arriving at Oxia Dreamseeker's own.
Though she could and wants to change things, and maybe it would even lead to a better outcome for both Senadinas, given the possible costs and that there's no such thing as a life without regrets, she decides to embrace Senadina's choice.
Thus, she leaves the three Abebes with the goddess to aid her in the dream and delivers her final farewell. Telling her the answer she found, an answer that belongs to them two, an answer to "what kind of person you want to become" and "what kind of future you wish Luoxing to head towards":
Dreamseeker:
“Because… this is both Leylah’s original aspiration and Incarnation of Obsession’s final wish.”
“Sena, your Little Leylah… be it in life or death, did her all for the continuous existence of Luoxing”
“And I… will hand Luoxing’s future to every person, as you were looking forward to.”
“I will be witness to Luoxing’s growth, witness to civilization’s development; I will prove Senadina’s ideals are not empty words.”
“Even if it means I will be further and further away from you, I’ll still… continue onwards…”
“You allowed the people of Difeng to feel the happiness of life, to have the confidence to pioneer ahead… all that is brilliant in Difeng, everything beautiful that people are reluctant to part with… every single one originates from your light.”
“Even if you’ve always been anxious that you hadn’t accomplished enough things, that you hadn’t done well enough, but in my heart, and in everyone’s heart-”
“Senadina is the greatest Goddess.”

And thus time begins to flow until Vita delivered the final blow to the goddess, allowing Dreamseeker to witness further into Senadina's story. (See Senadina - Farewell section)
Senadina - Choice
Just after Songque's resurrection, Chaos began trapping Senadina.
She would then be pulled into the Pruning Chamber and be freed, but was met with a paradox warning when trying to return to the sector.
The one who freed her, the Incarnation of Obsession, questions her existence. Not particularly happy with this girl who bears the name Senadina yet doesn't know the significance of this name.
Senadina, who regards the goddess like a big sis, claims she would never be ashamed of bearing her name. She had come to the conclusion from Coralie's data analysis (context: Senadina battlesuit stories) that the goddess must have yearned for something, yet the goddess left no ties to the past.
Thus she came to the truth, a blessing to the girl and the goddess' last wish:
“Take the name Senadina and create unprecedented possibilities.”
“And if all associated with that name becomes a shackle on freedom, then throw away all that can be thrown.”
Through Senadina, Incarnation of Obsession confirmed her suspicion of what the goddess had done once she recovered her memories and instead sees this blessing as Senadina being the goddess' omen of death.
At this point, Senadina tries to escape this place, but Incarnation of Obsession bets with her that she won't, nor will her friends find her.
She shows her snippets of their adventure, but to Senadina's surprise, her place in the events of the story was either replaced by others or written off, like she never existed.
As Incarnation of Obsession explains, Senadina is a paradox: a life created in the future in a world that operates around the past. Once she was removed from the story by the Chaos, the rules made it so the gaps caused by her removal from the story got filled in, creating a new reality.
She then shows Dreamseeker's past failures across the many Samsara.
86 times, Dreamseeker failed in the samsara alone.
14 times, Dreamseeker failed even after Senadina, Helia, and Coralie's arrival.
Only in the 101st samsara did they all finally succeed.

Senadina runs away, the fear that what she is seeing is true rooting in her heart.
She then spots the rift resembling her scar and thought to use the Astral Ring past its limits but restrained herself even as her attacks failed to widen it.
Through the rift, she sees Dreamseeker in the Soul Healing Center through the perspective of one of the Spiritual Healers (Chapter 4).
She watches as Dreamseeker chooses the options that match her Spiritual Healer (Sunlit Red / Daily Life, Beauty, Healing / Reuniting at Dusk) and listens as Dreamseeker thinks of trying to find her.
As Senadina is about to use the Astral Ring past its limits to catch Dreamseeker's attention and reunite with her, the paradox warning appears again.
Though still not fully believing the scenes she witnessed, she cannot deny the possibility they are real. And since the story changed to one where a happy ending is achieved without Senadina, if she were to return, then the ending achieved after all those Samsaras would cease to exist.
Thus, Senadina chose to voluntarily stay.

Senadina - Shattering
During her time in the Pruning Chamber, Senadina witnessed many story episodes that didn't come to pass.
- Thelema taking the hood off Songque's costume during her birthday party, leading to an early reunion;
- Helia successfully protecting Coralie from Litost's attack;
- The many where her friends rescued her;
- And more...
As she ponders why she wasn't deleted like these episodes she witnesses as the Incarnation of Obsession gathers the data of all the failed samsaras to piece together the stage of the confrontation between her and Dreamseeker (Chapter 9-EX).
By using the Astral Ring past its limits and incorporating it into the data of the samsaras, Senadina manages to help Dreamseeker temporarily.
It was her that helped opened the path to Difeng. And the Astral Ring, which shattered due to her actions, made the immaterial counterfeit Astral Ring that Dreamseeker took from Ruimu's sector into something material that has the light of the original Astral Ring
This created the opportunity which allowed Dreamseeker to steal part of the Authority of Shadow.
After this, Incarnation of Obsession comments on what just happened.
Revealing that she had kept Senadina in the Pruning Chamber to protect her from the Chaos that was attempting to delete her.
That since Senadina was the goddess' treasured first wish, the choice of what happens to her must be left to the goddess herself.

Senadina - Farewell
When Vita inflicted the scar upon the goddess, Senadina felt it and, through their shared connection, witnessed the goddess walk to her death. Then, the goddess's afterglow would appear in the Pruning Chamber.
The goddess reveals that Senadina was the Little Sena that appeared in the rift of the First Dream.
After she brought the wish of Senadina, who was not yet a goddess at the time, to everyone in the First Dream, she fell into a slumber. Until the Day of Destiny, when the goddess would wake her up once more and, through transcription, send her to Dreamseeker's side.
The memory of their first meeting was also amongst the things that the goddess stripped away so as not to shackle freedom, but as this conversation progressed, Senadina would regain that memory.
The goddess' light began flowing through the scar (the badge of the brave) of Senadina, a gift to her to use as she wishes, like leaving the Pruning Chamber.
The two bid their final farewell, the goddess having chosen the time she felt right to end her story.
Senadina: Sis, you've rediscovered the thing you originally wanted to do. And of the things you can do, you've already done such a great job...
Senadina: So why... must we still part ways here?
Goddess' Afterglow: ...!
Goddess' Afterglow: Seems some memories cannot be erased by any power.
Goddess' Afterglow: As Senadina, I'd say it was the moment when I gazed at a forest clearing that was once bathed in morning light and where many children had once run freely that brought me to this day where I have no choice but to part ways with you.
Goddess's Afterglow: And as for my answer as your big sis...
Goddess's Afterglow: A perfect ending only grows more bloated with time. I prefer it as a neat full stop.
Goddess' Afterglow: Otherwise... It will once again create regrets a hundred times greater in your heart.
Goddess' Afterglow: Don't cry. Let me tell you something quietly. Just now, I think I saw the beginning of a dream.
Goddess' Afterglow: And it, or should I say her... seems to come from the future.
Senadina: ...Goodbye, sis.

However, as Incarnation of Obsession begins to act without regard, Senadina decides to use the light to distract her and guide it to help the people during the Great Wipe: Reconnecting the Lunar Base with the Dreamseeker System, freeing Vita and allowing people across many sectors to regain their movement.

Sadly, with Incarnation of Obsession busy, Chaos finally invaded the Pruning Chamber and began dragging Senadina into stagnant time.
Reunion and the Journey Ahead
As Senadina falls deeper and deeper, a voice coaches her to sleep. When she reopens her eyes, she is met with Dreamseeker, the voice and the one who caught her, pinching her face.
Having witnessed the farewell between the goddess and Senadina, Dreamseeker realized the missing page wasn't an omission resulting from the unordered cause-and-effect, but that the story of Senadina is far from welcoming its ending.
The two will never be separated again; they'll walk towards the future together.

Cause and Effect has been fully restored, but there's still much work to do.
When she attained the authority, Dreamseeker gained the ability to perceive the texture of each sector.
Though they have the Deepspace Anchor acting as a singularity, the bubble universes were actually far less stable than depicted in the books and would only last for a relatively short while once the normal flow of time returned to Luoxing.
To remedy this problem, Dreamseeker will use Chaos to alter the outer wall of the sectors as a temporary solution.
Afterwards, they plan for the shadow to root deeply into the sector. For this, the people must be taught how to use it sensibly so it can flow naturally and expand in each sector.
Once a balance is struck, the people of Luoxing will upgrade their sector into a bubble universe that won't have to fear the corruption of the sea.
Finally, the shadows of all bubble universes will intertwine into a solid net.
"The Sea will then hear fire's singing."
Though they'll remain as data beings, they'll still be humans with the chance to embrace the possibilities they once lost in their slice of time (sector).
As for Leylah in each sector, whose only goal is eliminating the shadow and who would prove an obstacle... Sadly, they won't have the chance to meet her.
When Dreamseeker gained her authority, she disappeared from each sector, being absorbed by Dreamseeker as memories.
The only Leylahs that remain are her starting point (Little Leylah in Difeng) and her ending point (Dreamseeker).
Thus, Senadina and Dreamseeker depart, starting with the sectors that were originally skipped during the journey.

What Lies in the Future
A year later, Senadina and Dreamseeker were almost done with their work on the 5th sector in their adventure: Molan.
After the two fall asleep, they appear before the Cocoon of Finality and are welcomed by Rice Cake.
The little Snake brings them further in, saying Kiana has something to tell everyone.
Inside, there was a replica of St.Freya based on the time when Kiana studied, created using the shadow of Finality.
The two of them have a chat with the others, giving space for Kiana and Mei to finish their conversation.
They talk with Klein, Rice Cake, Rita, Sushang, and Seele. Durandal, Bronya, Coralie, and Helia were missing since they were still awake at the time (Bronya is gonna get a scolding the next morning).
During their talks, some small tidbits of information were given:
- Rice Cake had spent a year in the moon base since passing the message, having been under Mei's care.
- Shicksal is preparing to launch a seminar based on what happened on Mars.
- The progress on Mars has gone really smoothly, and they might get things done a few months earlier than the original 2-year schedule.
Finally, they turn to Kiana, who explains what had transpired.
When goddess Senadina met Kiana, the latter was left with 2 choices: Either take Coralie and Helia away and not interfere with Mars, or help them properly establish a connection with the system so that the moon base could monitor later.
- Though Kiana knew of the dangers ahead since the goddess had shared the voices of the future with her, she also knew it was always her students' dream to explore Mars despite the risks.
- Furthermore, the moment she entered Sena's dream, she noticed the uniqueness of Mars. She saw an opportunity: through understanding the current structure of Mars, she might better understand how the Cocoon deals with the world and speed up the process of making the authority of Finality harmless.
Thus, Kiana chose to remain asleep so that the dream that connects to Mars remains after the goddess' return to her own time, and through it she remotely observed the alien planet while attempting to build a "Make Finality Harmless Model" that can be moved to Earth.
As the Dreamseeker Journey progressed, so did the model's scale and thus required more maintenance.
During this time, all the power she could spare was used in combating the harm caused to the Earthlings due to differences in the flow of time inside and outside the system and to have Rice Cake deliver that message.
The full message contained the part that Kiana was fine just doing something important and for nobody to worry, besides the stuff they had already figured out from the journey in the system.
Kiana could now meet everyone because the model had finally passed the crucial period and would now enter its final stage.
However, the further into the final stage she gets, the fewer chances there will be for meetings. After a specific critical point, everyone on the lunar base will have to evacuate, and Rice Cake will have to remain asleep while Kiana finishes the work.
Mei decides to stay with Kiana until her Herrscher powers can no longer support her being inside the Cocoon. At one point, the environment will simply not be suitable for someone whose Herrscher Core is dimming.
Dreamseeker and Kiana make a bet on who will finish their work first, and we then welcome the proper ending of part 2.
We get a short animation and slideshow showing everyone's lives after this meeting, and finally we end where we started: On Senadina's battlesuit trailer.


Analysis
Since this chapter is rather short, serving more as a conclusion to the plot of part 2, there's not much I can say.
Dreamseeker, who concluded her journey of self-discovery last patch, continues to take on the hopes placed upon her rediscovered past (Leylah) while working towards Luoxing's future.
With the game even calling back to the answer Senadina gave to Sa.
Senadina: As long as humans are given time, they will surely achieve things even gods cannot.
Senadina: And Leylah will become the witness to Luoxing’s future. One day, she will prove to you that Senadina’s ideals are not empty words.
- Chapter 11-EX
Dreamseeker: “And I… will hand Luoxing’s future to every person, as you were looking forward to.”
Dreamseeker: “I will be witness to Luoxing’s growth, witness to civilization’s development; I will prove Senadina’s ideals are not empty words.”
- Chapter 15
Senadina's existence is explained in this chapter, being the slumbering wish of the goddess transcribed into the Stardust Tesseract.
The wording in this chapter and even chapter 13 implies she is a Sprout of Wishing much like Vita and Rice Cake. All 3 also follow the same theme of being past-versions of their creators.
The young self, born from unheard wishes, gave up the possibility to take root and sprout, sacrificing herself for "want to do".
The grown-up self, awakened from a cyclical repeating illusion, gave up the possibility to head towards the future, so that the "first wish" once more sprouts.
Senadina's story arc always revolved a lot around the importance of time and life stolen by Immortality.
One of the things emphasized in Chapter 13 was how the game of ten lives that the kids played got robbed of its meaning once immortality fell upon Laquadar.
The importance that the goddess gives to a transient life is the reason why she chooses to die at this time.
Little Sena represents her childhood self, not bound by the duty as a princess amidst war or as a goddess nurturing her people. It is the self desired by the goddess which she could not embrace, and the likely reason why she failed to answer to the Cocoon.
Despite Senadina having already grown up, she is still full of childhood whimsy.
In Molan, she and Dreamseeker played a game similar to the ten lives game from Laquadar with the locals. Although this game is more competitive and it's mostly adults playing, Senadina shows the same actions as the goddess in her youth.
As prey, she always tries to make the game the most fun for the hunters and even drops everything for a simple race against the hunters when she is in her last life.
Dreamseeker even has to make bets with Senadina to see who falls asleep first, as otherwise she'd be too excited after the game to fall asleep.
The game and the people of Luoxing in general are proof of the goddess' legacy.
Meanwhile, Senadina inherits the goddess' story, being the self picked up by Dreamseeker and brought towards the future.
“On a certain fateful day, a Dreamseeker who can freely traverse dreams will dream of her. Through their connected dreams, this Dreamseeker will grant her a miracle: the ability to travel to the future where this Dreamseeker resides.”
- Chapter 11-EX
Goddess' Afterglow: Don't cry. Let me tell you something quietly. Just now, I think I saw the beginning of a dream.
Goddess' Afterglow: And it, or should I say her... seems to come from the future.
- Chapter 15
Overall, we can say that Dreamseeker-Leylah and the two Senadina have similar stories that go in different directions in time.
- (Past-Self + Legacy) Leylah is Dreamseeker's past self. From her, Dreamseeker was born, and her authority is passed to her as a legacy.
- (Future-Self + Possibility) Dreamseeker is the future Leylah. By moving towards the past, she rediscovers what she had lost and finds the answer to herself, attaining the authority of Time and moving towards the future to create a brand new possibility of "Leylah".
- (Future-Self + Legacy) The goddess is Senadina's future self. From her, Senadina was born, and her story was passed to her as legacy.
- (Past-Self + Possibility) Senadina is the past of the goddess. She already represents the conclusion that the goddess desired and moves towards the future to create brand new possibilities of "Senadina".
The very relationship between Dreamseeker and Senadina is in part a reversal of the relationship between Leylah and the Goddess, which had been foreshadowed in the goddess' dream in Chapter 11-EX.
Senadina's childlike demeanor is repeatedly emphasized, with Dreamseeker being the mature one bringing Senadina to discover the world.
Once, the little Deer led the little Lion to experience the beauty of the human world.
Now, let it be the grown-up little Lion's turn to lead her baby Deer to continue on adventures.

As for other characters
Vita has resumed her life of exploring the cosmos. If she has already left or not the Solar System is technically up to interpretation. In the short animation at the end, she appears sitting in the moon base, but Vita should be able to freely move back and forth.
Personally I rather they show the moment she leaves for the first time on screen since it would be she accomplishing something that Sa could never do.
I also hope it is a big character moment and not something she simply achieved due to her chance meeting with Sparkle.
Serapeum starts gaining the courage to be closer to the people of Luoxing, much like we saw her pages achieve.
Kiana's situation is fully explained, and her having to stay asleep to work can serve as a reason for her absence during the events of A Post Honkai Odyssey.
Her current task being described as an occupation is a natural progression from the graduation themes of part 1.
What Comes Next?
Previously, during the streams of Part 1.5, the writers had said that Part 1, Part 2, and APHO together would answer a question.
The current timeline is also nearing APHO; we are somewhere between February 2025 and August 2025. One year has already passed since Part 2's ending, and we know from APHO that by August 2025 Mei was already back on Earth going on missions with the 3rd Squad.
So it is fair to assume that we are moving to the APHO storyline next.
There is, however, still one more notebook section left to be filled, and these sections are always written from Dreamseeker's perspective.
I think that next chapter will serve as a transition, with the connection between Mars and Earth being reestablished.
The seminar mentioned by Rita is reminiscent of the ending of Part 1.5, where they teased the Mars Exploration program. So it might be that the APHO Squad Members will be present in the seminar, with the Mars cast being there to talk about the events.
We should also see a deeper connection to Honkai: Star Rail's setting.
Rice Cake originally thought that it was the Memokeeper, seeking revenge, that made Kiana be stuck asleep. However, Kiana explains that they (plural) didn't do anything, nor could they if they wanted to.
There is more to the story, but Kiana says she'll talk about it at another time.
Who the “they” here are is a bit ambiguous, can be there was more than one memokeeper or that more people have gotten in contact with her during that time.
Regardless, we are probably gonna be told in detail what happened sooner or later. Serving as the means to strengthen the connection of HI3 towards HSR's setting.

As for Me
I'll be slowing down my posts. I likely won't be making big summaries or analysis like before. And even translations will be few and far between.
Having finished my degree and recently having gone through job interviews, I'll likely not have as much time as in the past.
This game is also much smaller than back then, and while I like talking about the story, it is kinda tiring to work so much but have no one to interact with.
I'm also not super excited for an APHO or even HSR-based storyline.
I'll still be streaming the story as it releases since my love for the game's story hasn't died, though sometimes I might not be there at the exact release time due to obligations.
But besides that, I'll be slowing down on what I do for this game.

Discussion Are there any cutscenes in Part 1 of Honkai Impact that you remember differently?
I mean, I remember that scene being more suggestive, the underwear was more visible, more defined
They don't necessarily have to be suggestive things rather they are scenes that come across differently now compared to when you played for the first time

Media Aponia by Jara.cos
Hi everyone! I’m sharing a photo that means a lot to me. 🥹🩷
To be honest, I shared a photo of my Aponia cosplay here a few years ago, but it was already too small for me back then. I gained even more weight afterward, and eventually I couldn’t even fit into the cosplay anymore.
However, over the past year, I’ve started changing my lifestyle, and I’ve lost 40 kg so far! Q_Q 💗
My main motivation was to improve my health, but yesterday, I also made one of my dreams come true. I finally got to have a photoshoot in the cosplay of my favorite Honkai Impact 3rd character! 😭🩷
Aponia has been my favorite character in the game for a long time, so this photoshoot means so much to me. Q_Q

Discussion Impressions of Part 2
I've finally gotten to part 2 and here are my thoughts on up to the end of the Sera storyline,
Songque and Sena don't seem to be the brightest, but maybe I'm missing something
Lantern is very cool
Sera is very precious and must be protected
Not related but any tips on what loadout for Valkyrie Ranger, I have her at level 70 and four star Augment core

Discussion My new Valkyrie!
Hi y'all first post here.. I haven't played honkai impact in like over 4 years because I lost my email... I came back because I got my email back and I pulled a new Valkyrie (which I'm putting as a picture) and I'm so confused on how she works.. if a joke could potentially explain her whole thing id appreciate!
