Real World, Station 13
Stellaris Season 2, Episode 5 of "Glimmer"—premiere day
'First comment!'
'That's totally not the first comment, hey!'
'Front-row seats, time to eat right on schedule—!'
As Episode 5 of "Stellaris: Glimmer" premiered,
Stellaris fans who had waited for so long flooded in at once, and the comment barrage was instantly drowned beneath a sea of multicolored text.
In the previous episode, Dimensional Audience viewers had watched the protagonists Chen Kong and Liu Ma complete the trial Yu Qianxia had arranged for them.
Although the production team had not revealed whether Chen Kong had learned the Yu Clan Gun-Fu, nor what martial art Yu Qianxia had taught Liu Ma.
As Station 13 fans, these old hands had long since figured out the usual anime formula.
No need to think about it—after their special training, the Protagonist Group was bound to kick off an "avenge their humiliation" arc.
They would get back every bit of face they had lost from those earlier beatings, while rescuing Vivian, the female lead of Season 2, who had been abducted.
Sure enough, the very beginning of the show opened on a cramped, sealed prison.
Steam Branch, Fifth Squad Prison, Gear Tower, Steam Capital
Drip. Drip.
The faucet in the prison kept dripping, its clear echoes ringing through the silent cells.
Vivian hugged her knees and sat alone in the corner of her cell.
Unlike the Silver Knight who had first appeared in long boots, with eyes like ice tempered in a blade,
Vivian, after being imprisoned for nearly a month, had visibly grown much thinner, and even her complexion had become far paler.
She was clearly somewhat malnourished.
It was not that the Fifth Squad abused her. Rather, not allowing these special Star Envoy prisoners to eat their fill was a rule
