Penacony.
The Family.
Inside the recording studio.
Robin was wearing headphones.
On the large screen in front of her was a live stream of the ga Honkai: Star Rail~way.
The strear, known as Little Gui, was also one of the in-ga characters—Guinaifen.
At this mont.
The battle against [Starcrusher Swarm King: Skaracabaz] was about to end.
They had managed to defeat this formidable foe at the cost of one death and three injuries.
The chat on the left side of the stream was continuously scrolling.
However.
Robin wasn't paying attention to the players' comnts.
Instead, she held one side of her headphones.
And quietly moved over to another piece of equipnt.
So players were concerned about the strength of the Insect King, seeing how hard Little Gui was struggling, and worried whether their own skill level would be enough to overco it…
Others were focused on the plot, as Ruan i had cultivated a replica of the Insect King at the space station, which was a bombshell revelation…
But Robin, as a musician.
She was more interested in the BGM during this battle!
The recording studio was naturally a top-tier, million-dollar facility, equipped with the most professional gear in the galaxy!
She had already isolated and recorded this BGM.
Now.
What played through her headphones was the pure, unadulterated battle music!
Robin's gaze sharpened slightly.
As a powerful rhythm kicked in, signaling the official start of the battle.
Robin closed her eyes, raised her fist, and swayed along with the beat.
When listening to music.
Her imagination always reached its peak, fully activated.
At this mont!
Robin felt as if she was transported to a dazzling cyber planet.
All the instrunts had co to life.
And started raving with her!
At the one-minute mark.
The String Vibration suddenly took a dramatic turn!
Instantly sending the already imrsed Robin into a frenzy!
"This is a textbook-level transition!"
"So powerful!"
In her imagination.
The Starcrusher Swarm King had transford into a drumr!
Its drums were skyscrapers.
Its limbs had beco drumsticks, pounding on the buildings.
Robin herself transford into a giant of equal height.
Swaying freely in the city!
She even stomped so hard that she shattered the planet!
As the song ended.
Robin opened her eyes.
A gleam of brilliance almost burst forth from her gaze!
"This BGM... an unbridled sense of threat and intensity!"
"The overall style is extrely flamboyant."
"It's as if Yu Ling created it while dancing in the Insect Nest, hahaha..."
Without a doubt.
This was yet another highly stylized piece of music created by Yu Ling.
Robin couldn't wait to send Yu Ling a private ssage.
To ask her what state of mind she was in when she created this BGM?
At that mont.
A notification sound suddenly rang out in the recording studio.
Indicating that soone was looking for her.
Robin slowly exhaled.
Suppressing the emotions stirred by the music for the ti being.
She stepped outside the recording studio.
There, she saw her brother.
Sunday.
"Brother, I've discovered another amazing BGM in Yu Ling's ga..."
Seeing Robin's joyful expression.
Sunday smiled affectionately.
However.
A trace of heaviness still flickered in his eyes.
As siblings who had grown up together.
Even though he tried to hide it.
Robin still noticed this fleeting detail.
Instantly.
Her cheerful expression faltered.
"What's wrong? Did sothing happen?"
"Sigh..."
Sunday sighed.
He said, "This news is definitely not good for you."
"The family has been completely banned from any content related to Honkai: Star Rail..."
"What..."
Robin's pupils contracted.
Hearing this for the first ti, she could hardly believe her ears!
Seeing Robin's shock.
Sunday explained helplessly, "It's the Dreammaster's decision..."
"It has issued a notice to the five great families, prohibiting all mbers from engaging with any content related to Honkai: Star Rail."
"But..."
"Why!"
Robin was imdiately agitated!
"The ga developed by Yu Ling has already beco one of the most brilliant cultures in the universe."
"Why would the Dreammaster do this!?"
Sunday gently patted Robin's shoulder with one hand.
"It simply said—Honkai: Star Rail would affect the family's faith in Harmony..."
"But the specific reasons, I don't know either."
Robin bit her lip.
Her pupils trembling slightly.
She didn't understand!
She couldn't accept it!
Just monts ago, she had heard awe-inspiring music in the ga.
And the next second!
Her dearest brother told her...
She could no longer engage with any content related to Honkai: Star Rail.
She could no longer discuss music with Yu Ling...!?
Her mindset instantly collapsed!
"This..."
"This is not the Harmony I believe in!"
With these words.
Robin stord out, slamming the door behind her.
Tears stread down her cheeks.
anwhile, Sunday, still in place, unusually did not comfort her imdiately.
His gaze revealed a depth of thought.
He murmured, "I'm sorry, sister..."
"But, I will definitely ensure you find true happiness in the dream."
"Right now, it's just the brief darkness before dawn."
...
On a private spacecraft.
Robin sat in the cockpit.
She wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
Ignition.
Start.
Where to go? It didn't matter.
In any case.
She didn't want to stay in Penacony right now, nor did she want to stay with the Family!
She hated everyone in the Family at this mont.
Including her own brother!
The family of Harmony was supposed to have no hierarchy, where everyone could bathe together in the hymns of the Many-Faced God, embracing all things in the world.
But Robin increasingly felt that.
Under the leadership of the Dreammaster.
The Family seed to be drifting further and further away from the Many-Faced God.
Even moving in the opposite direction.
She didn't know if this was just her own illusion…
Nor did she know whether she was wrong or if the entire Family had deviated from its intended path.
Right now.
She didn't want to think about it too much.
Alone, she piloted the spacecraft.
Traveling through the galaxy in solitude.
She didn't know how much ti had passed.
Two system hours?
Three system hours?
Robin's emotions gradually cald down.
Though the universe was vast.
It was hard to find a true haven.
Suddenly.
Robin noticed a nearby planet on the map.
Her heart stirred slightly.
She descended toward the planet.
It was an ocean planet, its surface entirely covered by water.
But there were also so exposed islands.
Robin chose a larger island to land her spacecraft.
She stepped out of the cabin.
Walking barefoot on the beach, aimlessly.
Listening to the sound of the waves.
Though the scenery here was only the most primitive.
At this mont.
She felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation and peace.
Outside the planet.
Two Family spacecraft hovered in the sky.
A security officer from the Bloodhound Family reported to Sunday, "Miss Robin has landed on a tourism planet still under developnt by the company. I'll send you the coordinates now…"
Sunday replied, "No need."
"I know that planet. There's no danger there. Don't disturb her. Let her have so quiet ti by herself."
"Understood."
However.
What Sunday didn't know was.
At this very mont.
Yu Ling, the developer of Honkai: Star Rail, who had been completely ostracized by his family, had also arrived on this planet.
And he was about to take away his dearest sister... Robin...
