elysium everlasting truely is something else..
honkai impact chapter 31 act 1 spoilers!! (i just need to let it out, not spelled check or anything)
okay okay i'm sorry i'm just having a HI3/elysian realm brainrot, chapter 31 act 1 broke me.. i was crying the whole time, SAKURA's revelation of knowing about RIN's end and her following sacrifice, then Mobius, Hua, Kevin, Pardo and Su's sacrifices against HoC..
SAKURA just hoping she'd been a good big sister to RIN saying she'd never let go of her, Mobius protecting Klein, Pardo repeating "I don't want to die" and imagining her real world self having survived HoTE and leading the life she wished to have but still not running away to allow Su and Kevin to perform Judgment of Shamash, Hua's flashback of HIMEKO before consuming her data to unleash Fenghuang Down..
let's not even talk about Eden who didn't hesitate a single second to sacrifice herself to bring back Elysia, saying it was "the most romantic thing" to have her data be part of Elysia forever.. she knew she was the last SIM alive, yet she came into Mei's memory space with her only goal being completing the memory of Elysia, meaning death to someone who's made only of memories. she said, word for word, to Mei: "please bring Ellie.. please bring our hope back into this world." it's beautiful.
even Aponia, she was one of my favourite characters from the moment she got introduced, but the fact she tried her best to delay her death because Kalpas told her he "didn't want to be in the same ride to hell as her" and then her defending him against what she thinks is HoC making fun of him, calling him her friend.. happily sacrificing herself against CE HoC because she promised Kalpas she'd reedem her sin of creating PE HoC with her discipline, asking Mobius to apologize to RIN in her stead..
NOW Griseo and Kosma. oh i think i cried the most tears.. Kosma wanted to become one of Griseo's paintings so he asked Hua to altern Griseo's perception while he was describing himself so she'd paint him with his data, but Hua didn't and Griseo still went with it to the end. Only she used herself and her data as a canvas without Kosma knowing, so they'd be together in the painting, because she knew Kosma hated being alone, and she didn't want him to be. This is even worst when you know Griseo took his place in project Ark for this very reason. So Kosma went to face HoTE on the moon and died while she is still alive somewhere in space, but they don't have any ways to contact the spaceship anymore..
Then the final banquet!!! I cried too. Elysia, the herrscher-born MANTIS, who's wish was to be human, got acknowledged as such during her final farewell.
Eden saying she'd never hate Elysia because she knows her the most and that they don't need to say goodbye and that she'll sing for her until the end hurts even more when you know Eden stayed behind in the wastelands of the world singing Ellie's favourite song because a world without her isn't worth it..
And then along with Vill-V, Kevin, Aponia telling her she's human..
"[Elysia] did i.. become human?" ["Of course." those below the stage said.] "[Vill-V] isn't that a fact that's laid before us ?" "[Aponia] tonight, there is no herrscher here." "[Eden] because she who slumbers here and sings to the future generations is the MOTHs' honorable and proud warrior, the founder of the thirteen flame-chasers.." "[Kevin] the pristine human, Elysia." ["Thank you." those below the stage said.]
"My name is Elysia.. The very first Herrscher, Herrscher of Human."
beautiful.
also, another thing that really hit me is SAKURA saying "i truely regret leaving this world before you" to Elysia. like, wow. that hurt more than it should've, especially when you know how she died and read the recollection of her funerals.. why do hyv hate SAKURA and RIN so much.. why can't they be happy..
