Dialogue

March 7th

To My Dearest Trailblaze Companion...

...And the one who saved my life. And my photographer. And my best classmate~
I still remember when you Warped for the first time... You were lying on the sofa, and you stretched out your hand as if you wanted to grasp something. You looked like you couldn't quite believe what was going to happen, but still really looked forward to it... So, did you find the star you were looking for?
I felt like hardly any time had passed, and it's already been two years! I almost can't remember how life used to be before you boarded the Express... But that's fine. Now that you're here to be my fellow troublemaker, let's make more wonderful memories together in the year to come!

Dan Heng

A Letter to You

Happy two-year anniversary.
The road of Trailblaze remains full of peril this year, where powerful enemies crave your power and greedy foes torment your heart.
I will continue to do what I can to keep you safe.
May you be untroubled in your days, and may our journey be free from harm.

Himeko

To My Forever Young One

It's been two years since the Astral Express took off on its journey again, and you've grown into an experienced Nameless. How time flies. I'm so delighted and so proud of everything you've done — from your explorations and choices regarding the lies and truths surrounding the Planet of Festivities, to the courage and strength you showed when you fought alongside Dan Heng and March to resolve the Borisin crisis on the Xianzhou.
There are still so many unknowns on the journey of Trailblaze, but we will always be by your side. There's no need to feel lost or concerned.
Let us go and trailblaze more marvelous worlds together!

Welt

To the Youngest Crew Member

If I had to summarize the past year in one word, it would probably be "uncertain"... No, perhaps "conflicted"? I can't help but feel anxious whenever I hear that you were once again in danger, but thankfully you pulled through every time.
At the end of the day, "Trailblaze" is essentially a string of new adventures one after another. I, too, have been in many dangerous [sic] before boarding the Express. If even I encountered such perils, then it'll make sense for you youngsters to face the same... In that case, just go do what you want to do. Go become the brightest star among all the Nameless. The Express will always back you up.

Black Swan

To the Little Sleepyhead

Did you sleep well last night? Slept in? Let me guess... Oh. You did sleep in. Am I right? Heh. Today's a special day, after all. A holiday unique to the Express.
I have never imagined that I would be travelling with the Astral Express like this. Everything is already a memory precious beyond measure. Therefore, there's no need for you to worry. I'll definitely help to the best of my ability wherever I can, so just come find me if you need me.
Happy second anniversary. May you gain more irreplaceable memories.

Sunday

A Letter to (Trailblazer)

I heard from the others that today is the anniversary of you boarding the Express.
It's a pity that, as a late arrival, I wasn't there to witness your first steps on this journey. Recently, I've heard you talk a lot about the events you encountered before we met. I wonder whether you and I will face more challenges together in the endless starry seas in days to come.
There are still so many unknowns waiting for me to explore, ponder, and come into contact with. The first seed of that utopia, where all shall obtain happiness, may have already been planted.
Allow me to end this letter with sincere congratulations — Happy second anniversary!

Kafka

To Your Dear Self

Hey. Today should be the second anniversary of the Express' journey with you onboard.
It has been a while since we last met, but I've always been watching your actions. Even now, I can imagine the expression on your face when you read this letter. Don't worry. I don't mean anything by it. I'm just happy to see how much you've changed compared to what you were like when you first woke up.
Listen. The road ahead will be even more resplendent, but make sure you make your own choices no matter what — That's the only way you can reach the end of the story.

Blade

To (Trailblazer)

My companions have been watching you closely for a long time. They said that I should also send you some good wishes now that the Astral Express's new voyage is near its two-year anniversary mark.
Happy second anniversary.

Silver Wolf

Congrats to Player One

Yo. Congrats! The game called "Trailblaze" has been online for 2 years already.
You know? I was there when you made your account. Back then, you wer— Never mind. Kafka won't allow me to say it.
I've been following your performance so far — And lemme put it this way: If we form a team, we'll win every match! A pity that we got disconnected... Hey, just treat it as a chance to see which one of us is better!
Anyway. Games are just games. Who knows what will happen in the future?

Firefly

Dear (Trailblazer)

Hey. It's me, Firefly. Long time no see. How are you?
It's been two years already... Time sure flies. You know, I used to wonder how we'd end up if we lived in a world where there are no Aeons and no Paths, you know? Maybe we'll get to know each other at school and panic over exams every day, or maybe we'll meet as colleagues and get yelled at by our boss once in a while... But now? I'm glad that we live in this reality. We are who we are today because of what we lived through.
It's a pleasure to get to know you, (Trailblazer). Happy second anniversary!
I look forward to seeing you again.
