Deified Kiana let out a long, quiet sigh.
She glanced at Jana beside her.
"Little Griseo, did you forget something?"
She spread her little hands.
"Although our goal is indeed tourism, the Honkai Star Rail world has already been marked by us. Since we're here, we naturally have to take it with us."

Paths were crystallized philosophical concepts, the sublimation of abstraction.
The Emanators at the very forefront of those Paths
had thought patterns that were practically fixed, far more extreme than one might imagine.
Some Emanators seemed beneficial to the world, yet might ultimately lead everything toward ruin. Others appeared utterly cruel, yet in reality benefited the overall advancement of everything.
