Honkai: Star Rail: Ripples for Days Gone By

[From Xilian’s perspective] [Everyone is captivated by her] [Lots of original headcanons] [The Trailblazer is Caelus]

Xilian is a gentle, smiling, pink-haired girl.

The ocean that loves feasts says, “The waves sound lovely. Would you care to dance with me?”

The romance skilled in weaving says, “If beauty’s value cannot be put to use, should we simply let golden threads gather dust?”

The laws of the wise ruler say, “My honored guest, are you ready to stake your life alongside me?”

The death harboring shyness says, “Gentle pink, I won’t forget you…”

The cunning trickery of chivalry says, “Little rosy peach girl, what fun trick would you like to play with me?”

The innocent pathways of childhood say, “*We* like little Xilian!”

So many people want to leave Xilian a message. In the end, it is Bai E, the savior who has journeyed through countless cycles of reincarnation alongside her.

He asks, “What kind of place is Aedes Elysiae?”

Xilian says, “There are wheat fields and a seaside. You and me. Remember that, little Bai.”

At the very end, the variable of Trailblazing breaks convention and embraces a beautiful ending.

Caelus: “Come Trailblazing with us!”

This is a story told from Xilian’s point of view. She is a witness who has lived through thirty million cycles of reincarnation, an observer who points the way forward, and the most reliable partner of “Trailblaze.”

(Note: This is a standalone story and does not share a universe with the streamer’s other book. The logic is still mine, so check your brain at the door.)
