Xina visited the Archive Room with Elysia and used its magical typewriter to read Elysia’s past. The memories left her bewildered about Kevin’s transformation and curious about Vostok-51.

• Fairy Aili introduced Xina to the Archive Room’s typewriter, which retrieved specific facts from the Elysian Realm’s memories.

• Xina read about Elysia’s past, including her early meeting with a lively, romantic Kevin.
• Xina asked whether the young Kevin was the same person as the taciturn Kevin outside and whether Vostok-51 had been Elysia’s hometown.

• Fairy Aili insisted the typewriter needed special paper and Fairy’s Magic, despite Xina pointing out that it had worked without paper.

Xina met Vill-V, who gave her a deck of cards based on Signets that could awaken latent powers, then left to explore the High Tower. Xina teleported to help Pardofelis, who had gotten herself stuck in a treasure chest, and watched as her attempts to escape made things worse.

• Vill-V swung down to meet Xina and complained that Elysia had stolen the attention from her new magic show.

• Xina accused Kevin and Elysia of being too cowardly to confront the leaders and urged them to use their authority and force to secure resources for fighting the Honkai.
• Xina began proposing that the leaders be arrested and executed as traitors, then stopped when she noticed Elysia’s astonished expression.

Elysia comforted Xina by explaining that the Flame-Chasers had sought recognition as heroes rather than official privilege. She then drew Xina toward the place where they had first met, hoping to revisit the beginning of their time together.

• Elysia brought Xina back to the golden hall where they first met, then led her through Kalpas's fiery domain and told her about him.

Before Xina could go there, Elysia asked whether the Memory Bodies and their stories had meaning to her, leaving Xina with the question to answer before she left.

• Elysia asked Xina whether the Memory Bodies and their stories still mattered, knowing Xina might forget them after returning to her real life.
• Xina could not answer, so Elysia said she could take time and asked her to give an honest response before leaving.

Xina reassured Elysia that she believed the Memory Bodies were real, and Elysia invited her to meet on a nearby island later that night.

• Xina told Hua that Elysia had revealed the Elysian Realm Heroes system was rejected from the start, and Hua explained that Moth Chasing Fire later proposed a five-person compromise.
• Hua named herself, Kevin, Elysia, Su, and Vill-V as the five who passed review, while Moth Chasing Fire said it did not need people without a future.
• Hua explained that Elysia refused to accept the compromise because she wanted to fight for the others who had been excluded.
