The people at Wanda Video were the happiest.
……
Regardless of what others think.
At this moment in the meeting room.
The song of Eden has finally come to an end.
The holographic projections of the Queen and Benares have also left the stage.
But the screams inside the stadium were still incredibly terrifying.
Just when they thought Eden was about to say something, the stage lights dimmed again.
A few seconds later, when the stage lights came back on, the atmosphere suddenly felt somewhat familiar…
Just as the audience was wondering why this lighting atmosphere felt so familiar...
A soft piano prelude began to play.
In just a moment, the audience understood everything.
The lighting atmosphere... is so similar to the [Imaginary Space] in the game.
And that piano piece... isn't it the prelude to "Nightglow"?
That is, the theme song of the animated short film, "The Last Lesson".
The cheers and screams inside the museum vanished in an instant.
The atmosphere created by the lighting, coupled with the mournful piano melody, drew everyone's thoughts back to the moment when Himeko sacrificed herself.
"..."
Although it was expected, the players' hearts still couldn't help but race when this scene actually happened.
……
ThewayIgothroughwithredrosesburnmyeyes.
(On the road, the red roses scorched my eyes)
Coldrainstartspouringhard,Imbeingcalledupon.
(The cold rain is pouring down, and I am here only because of a call.)
……
The voice arrived before the person appeared.
The audience knows that this is Himeko's voice.
This song was also sung by Himeko.
The lyrics of this song are like what Himeko wanted to say to Kiana before she died—
The cold rain pours down, yet I am here only for a single call.
[Never giving up on you is the reason I did all this]
At least this time, live your life your own way.
My love for you is the thing I cherish most.
So please be brave and live on.
……
The stage lights came back on.
Meanwhile, Himeko had appeared in the center of the stage at some point.
Her long hair was loose, her armor was tattered, and purple corrosion lines spread across her face.
This outfit clearly shows what she looks like after fighting the Herrscher of the Void.
The entire concert venue seemed to have become a battlefield between Himeko and the Herrscher of the Void.
……
IwishIcouldwakefromthedreameachtimeIdream.
(I wish to awaken from my sleepless nights)
Theresalongnightcomingsoon,Idshineasthelastshine.
(The long night is coming soon, and I wish to become the last light.)
Neverletyougo,itswhyIdidthemall.
(Never giving up on you is the reason I did all this)
……
Himeko's heartfelt singing, coupled with the atmosphere that made one feel as if they were in an imaginary space, caused countless people to break down in their emotions.
One minute they were cheering wildly for "Queen Arrives".
But the next minute, their emotions were quickly drawn back to the sadness of "The Last Lesson".
It's hard to believe that just attending a concert could evoke such a dramatic emotional shift.
But... anyone who knows the plot of Honkai Impact 3rd.
Anyone who saw the scene, which was rendered into an imaginary space by the lights.
Seeing Himeko on stage, who looks like she stepped right out of an anime... it's impossible not to feel down...
Such a dramatic shift in mood... is perfectly normal.
……
[The intro was already a little tearful, and the lighting and rendering were so good QAQ]
[And Himeko on stage... Waaaaah... I really feel so sorry for her...]
[Hahaha... Himeko-neechan!!]
Even if dark clouds obscure the sun, I will burn the sky to guide you home QAQ
[Back when the game launched, after Himeko's character was released, a bunch of people were cursing miHoYo QAQ]
[I have a classmate named Wu Liang. One day during computer class, his computer was already broken, but he still insisted on using it. So I raised my hand and said to the teacher: Wu Liang, his computer is dead QAQ]
[Upstairs... Aaaaaah!!! Take this sword!!!]
……
After an initial silence, the audience began to wail.
Yes! It was a wail, not a scream.
With shouts of "Himeko-neechan!" gradually escalating, the cries of tens of thousands of people slowly came into sync.
Therefore, these cries of "Himeko, sister" naturally reached Himeko's ears as she was singing.
I don't know if I was moved by the audience's enthusiasm or by the song and the story of "The Last Lesson".
Himeko's eyes welled up with tears.
She sang with even more passion.
The last trace of tension in my heart vanished completely.
……
Neverletyougo,itswhyIdidthemall.
(Never giving up on you is the reason I did all this)
For a chance at least, to live in your way.
(At least this time, live your life your own way.)
Loveofyouismymostcherishedthing.
(My love for you is the thing I cherish most.)
So stay alive, bravely.
(So please be brave and live on.)
……
Holographic projection also changed at this time.
The lighting still creates a slightly dim atmosphere, typical of imaginary spaces.
But the "imaginary wall" in the sky is slowly breaking down and disintegrating.
This scene is extremely similar to the one in the anime where Himeko, after injecting the Honkai Energy Suppressant into the Herrscher of the Void, finally exhausted herself and fell into the depths of the Imaginary Space.
The audience did not shy away as they watched the "broken eaves and ruins" slowly descend from the sky.
They knew it was all an illusion created by holographic projection.
They all looked up, their eyes scanning the air rapidly, as if searching for a figure.
