Honkai: Star Rail: The Meme World

When the Astral Express was swallowed by a memetic barrier, Stelle awoke from unconsciousness to hear a signal from a parallel world. Herta Space Station, the 947th loop. Station Director Asta's voice repeated the same message over the broadcast for the nine hundred and forty-seventh time: Don't look into her eyes. Don't remind Arlan that his bandages are bleeding through. Herta Puppet can only protect you three times. And finally, the last line: "Trailblazer, please, you have to come find me. I'm where you first picked up a baseball bat."

This world had never had an Astral Express. No one knew Stelle. No one knew who the Trailblazer was. Asta had waited through 947 loops, not for someone she knew, but for a vague possibility she had seen only in instrument readings.

And when Stelle finally stood before her, for the first time, the eyes worn of all their light by the loops reflected another person's image.

"You came."

"I came."

This is a story about using recovered fragments of memory to light the darkness on a road with no turning back.
