"It's about to begin!"
Whatever Temple In the main hall, Griseo looked at the audience full of people in the audience and waved his hands to light up [Daybreak]Signets, but Signets was met with silence first.
"..."
"..."
"..."
(Griseo, are you sure you want to tell my story?)
(My story is not as bright as Elysia and Eden, nor as sincere as Qianjie.)
(I am just a soldier who died in an ordinary battle for my homeland. I am the most ordinary one among all Flame-Chasers.)
"Griseo, what's wrong?"
In the audience, Ling noticed Griseo's pause and asked.
"I'm fine, Sister Ling. Kosma is worried that his story is too ordinary."
Griseo said softly, Signets [Daybreak] lit up on his fingertips, and the picture unfolded, starting to spread like a movie.
Kosma lives in an unknown town. Kosma has longed to be a hero since he was a child.
With the continuous outbreak of Honkai, the remote town where Kosma is located has no order at all, and in such an environment, Kosma begins to protect the 'weak'.
But he didn't know whether what he did was good or evil.
Once, he saved a little girl from a man, but at the same time, another man lost his father.
This makes Kosma extremely confused.
Later, Fourth Honkai Eruption broke out in the town, and everyone fled except Kosma.
He wants to be a 'hero'.
Kosma went to the center of the storm to fight the monster, but he never thought that the enemy was too powerful. The storm that destroyed the town was just a casual blow from the monster. He was saved by Kevin when he was about to die.
After Fourth Honkai Eruption ended, Kosma concealed his identity and joined Fire Moth.
But not long after, Fire Moth discovered his true origin. The top management gave him two choices: truly join Fire Moth, or die.
As a result, Kosma became a recruit under Kevin. It is worth mentioning that during the recruit training... Kosma was trained to cry four times by Kevin.
Watching the scene of Kosma crying.
Suddenly, there was a burst of suppressed laughter from the girls in the audience, and even the instigator Griseo... couldn't help laughing.
"It turns out that Kosma has such an experience..."
Ling's eyes flashed with curiosity. No wonder Kosma didn't answer no matter how she asked her last time at Hollows - if it were her, she wouldn't have told such a dark history!
What about the other questions?
When she thought of this, Ling couldn't help but ignite a blazing fire of gossip.
A young man with a delicate mind carries a harmonica with him... With his little brain, he knows that it must be a token of love.
So with this thought in mind, Ling watched the story continue--
After the recruit training, Kosma followed Kevin on continuous missions. He also got to know many people - such as Griseo's parents and Dystopia.
After that, Kosma's relationship with Hen became better and better, and he took the initiative to take care of Griseo with Dystopia, and the relationship between the two deepened.
At dusk one day, Dystopia handed a harmonica to Kosma and said, "I hope to know that everyone can put a heavy weight on my heart.
This way, even if everyone is gone, I can still remember everyone's appearance."
The girl hid her heartbeat under the excuse of "everyone". The silent boy in the second grade also knew what she meant, but he didn't point it out and took the harmonica.
In the apocalypse of Honkai, peaceful days are particularly precious...
Later, Dystopia, Hen, and Blanca died one after another, and the sunny and cheerful Kosma also turned into a taciturn boy.
As for that gift, in a battle, the reeds of the harmonica were lost and it was no longer possible to play it again.
But Kosma has always held the musical instrument close to his heart - only the boy understood that this was a gift from the girl at the end of her life, and he knew that this was the girl's wish to accompany him to the end.
Later, at Finality War, Kosma died in battle on the moon.
Therefore, when the young man sealed his life in the name of a hero, no one knows whether he tried to play it again to this day.
But at least, before he died, he chose to keep this feeling close to his heart.
Just like when they parted, when the two meet again in a better place, the boy may sing a song again.
At the end of the screen, a text is displayed.
"The so-called [Daybreak] is just the most insignificant ray in the dawn of Salvation."
When the story of Kosma ended, the audience who had been watching the movie happily fell into silence.
Put aside the words 'Honkai', 'Finality', 'Herrscher', which I don't know the meaning of, but the story alone is enough to make people silent.
"A touching ode to civilization." Yixuan said slowly after reading it - she was one of the few people present who knew the identity of 'Griseo'.
It turns out that Ancient Civilization before New Eridu existed like this!
"But Master Yixuan, why do I feel like the swan song of a civilization!"
Yixuan Beside him, Zhe's tone was hesitant.
"..."
Zhe's words made the atmosphere at the scene even more depressing, because Zhe was right! After all, that civilization was destroyed, and now they at least still live in New Eridu.
Snap!
Suddenly there was a sound.
Everyone hurriedly looked around and saw that it was Ling who was slapping him lightly, with annoyance on his face.
"Ling, what's wrong with you?" Zhe hurriedly pulled Ling and asked in confusion, fearing that she would hit him again.
"Brother, I'm fine, I just remembered some not-so-good things."
Ling's nose felt sore, she... deserved to die back then!
When Ravenlock Family happened, she and Kosma acted together and asked a lot of questions out of curiosity, including the person she liked...
Isn't this just poking someone's wound?
Ling looked up at Griseo and asked, "Griseo, can you call Kosma out? I want to say sorry to him in person."
"No need."
Before Griseo could reply, Kosma appeared first, "As I said, if you want to see the story of a 'hero', you should choose 'Salvation'.
I am just an insignificant ray of afterglow, a confused person following in the footsteps of a hero.
The living set up brand new tombs for the dead, and the dead sing their last elegy for the living... Our story has long since ended.
So everyone, you..."
"No, Kosma, you are wrong."
Ling, who was still feeling guilty just now, interrupted Kosma and said, "Didn't you say that 'the birth zone of each child means that the world has not completely disappointed with mankind'? Looking at the habits of children from a distance, can you believe in the future more?
Griseo is here, she is here with your story.
How can you say that your story is gone?"
Ling's words touched other people present.
Although New Eridu is also set in the apocalyptic background, although there is no shortage of touching and heroic stories, the story of Flame-Chasers Signets represents that era.
The swan song of a civilization can't be underestimated in its shaking power.
Alas, my writing is so bad, my traffic is at rock bottom. (T_T)
