However, only Firefly was by Star Girl's side now. Welt and the others were still nowhere to be seen.
"Everything has returned to its starting point. You entered Golden Hour from here once before, and from here, you will enter the real Penacony."
"I'm glad to be traveling alongside you again. At last, I can tell you the whole truth—"
"As you can see, my other name is Sam of the Stellaron Hunters."
Firefly then told Star Girl about everything that had happened before.
It turned out Firefly had deliberately let Star Girl witness her death, hoping to reveal the answer and invite her into the game.
But things had not gone as planned. In the end, she could not defy the script. At the moment the meme pierced her body, she could not even speak.
After her "death," she was indeed still alive. Just as she had expected, she arrived somewhere completely unlike the sweet dream—the deeper layer of the dream, the Land of Exile.
After discovering this, Firefly planned to return to the hotel in the dream and tell Star Girl the news.
That was the part of the story where Sam appeared after Firefly's death.
At the time, Firefly had wanted to take Star Girl away and tell her everything.
But Huang Quan mistook her for someone trying to harm Star Girl and stopped her.
Afterward, Star Girl was transported away by Black Swan, met Aventurine, and witnessed the Death of Robin.
Seeing this, the players finally understood the full sequence of events.
"Not long afterward, a blood-red blade of light shattered the towering walls of the dream and sent all of you tumbling into this deeper dream. Only then was I able to awaken you and your companions one by one..."
Awaken?
