Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

It's best to forget it completely and throw it into the trash heap.

Memories only truly emerge when real people are lost, because as long as one is alive, life will continue to create new futures, just as there is never time to stop on a highway.

Continuing to chase after a dead person will only cause the living to stagnate and fall into the abyss.

If one day she really does encounter that extremely rare outcome of death, then she must become the one who is forgotten.

Otherwise, Jiang Cheng would be very sad and unable to accept all of this. He might even fall into depression when he gets home because of the memories.

We must never interfere with the happiness of a young person, nor should we allow them to remain stuck in the past and become like their former self.

Perhaps it's not necessary to choose such a resolute stance, not necessary to sacrifice everything, and not necessary to push the boy you love most into someone else's arms.

Perhaps with the girl's wisdom, she could create an exact replica of herself, to accompany the boy in the possibility of her own death.

In this way, 'Vilvie' can stay with Jiang Cheng forever, and Jiang Cheng will never belong to anyone else.

She really wanted to do that.

--no.

No.

You can't be so selfish.

No matter how realistic or similar it is, the fake will always be fake, and a machine that imitates can never become a real person.

Leaving behind an identical copy of her would only plunge the surviving boy into endless grief.

There was even another girl who was constantly trying to make her presence known to the boy. Every minute and every second, he could feel her loss and her presence, and the wounds in his heart would keep tearing open and even festering.

The real her from my memory is dead. So this machine in front of me, this machine that speaks the exact same words and feels the exact same emotions, is just a monster that endlessly tears open its wounds.

Yet, because of the feelings in their hearts, because of the love in their hearts, they are unable to criticize or deny the machine in any way.

Emotions cannot be completely dispelled; they can only be transferred. If you don't vent them on others, they will only turn into sharp knives that stab you in the back.

She didn't want to see this happen.

Before meeting Jiang Cheng, Wilvi's life was incredibly bleak, and she could understand just how desperate a psychological blow could be.

This is absolutely not some kind of affectation, or some difficulty that one can easily overcome on their own. This is a real illness, even a terminal one.

and so……

Even if you trample on everything that belongs to you, making yourself a stepping stone to be trampled on, a memory to be abandoned, it is so pathetic that you can't even leave a trace.

—Vilvie absolutely did not want to see this happen.

—I absolutely do not want to see Jiangcheng sad or upset.

—I absolutely do not want to see Jiangcheng become like I once was.

……

really……

No wonder he's a genius!

Did you think of that so early?

It's astonishing that they were able to think of all this so early and establish a strict and appropriate plan to ensure that the boy would definitely be in that happy ending.

Regardless of whether he or she would be part of that beautiful ending that belonged to Jiangcheng, regardless of whether he or she could have a place in that beautiful ending.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter at all.

It doesn't matter if I have myself or not, as long as Jiangcheng can live a happy and fulfilling life.

Regardless of whether she is by his side or not, regardless of whether the girl who rides the Ferris wheel with him is still that shy, withdrawn, yet somewhat genius girl.

This is normal, all of this is understandable, and it is also in line with Vilvi's talent, that awareness that she would give everything and sacrifice everything for the boy after being saved and given a sense of security and love.

Alicia's body was somewhat stiff, and the sadness in her heart did not subside much; her pink eyes were still shrouded in a light rain.

—Will Virvi really not regret it?

—Won't Virvi feel angry?

She was clearly the one who loved the boy the most, clearly the one who took him away from her own hands, yet in the end she still had to beg herself... like a loser, begging herself to take Jiangcheng away from her.

do not know……

Alicia didn't know...

The girl had no idea what Wilvi's true personality was.

What is the true self of Virvii hidden beneath that somewhat insecure, somewhat withdrawn, and somewhat talented fool?

What kind of turbulent inner world could prevent a genius from even having the opportunity to display their talents?

How finely and meticulously should one divide their inner thoughts?

Perhaps only Jiang Cheng in this world can understand, only Jiang Cheng knows the sorrow and pain hidden beneath that posture.

It's truly tragic that individual thought is so neglected amidst the tides of the times.

Even if he was a genius.

Even if this genius is difficult to understand.

At least Alicia didn't think she could possibly know.

She could only have the most basic empathy with that girl, a quality possessed by every intelligent life form, even the Herrscher of Calamity.

That's all.

Even this empathy is mostly due to the commonality of being a teenager.

Because they share the same intense feelings for the boy, they spend a very long time trying to understand him, even disregarding their personality differences, thus making people with completely different personalities into confidants in a certain sense.

Fairies who walk like humans can never comprehend the astonishing wisdom of the godlike fool, whose talent can be described as world-shaking.

But at this moment.

Only at this moment.

The girl accepted the sadness behind those words entirely.

Alicia absorbed all of Virvi's expectations, worries, sadness, and pain.

The girl pressed her hand hard against her chest, feeling the little heart that had been constantly running away, fearing, and even having its last bit of courage worn away.

Having seen and felt too much, theoretically I should no longer have the courage or boldness to accept or acknowledge all of this.

Forget about seeing that boy in person, forget about taking on Wilvi's identity to protect him, or even embracing him. You can't even catch a glimpse of him from afar; you'd feel ashamed and disgusted just getting a little closer.

After being invited by Vilvi, the young man chose to run away, and his most courageous act was simply to pick up a camera and use it as a pretext to approach Jiangcheng.

Having witnessed the boy being confessed to by Vilvi, and their warm and happy daily life, with their daily embraces, she could only watch from the sidelines, filled with envy.

Having received the gift from the boy, she had just mustered a little courage to atone for her sins and apologize for the wrong things she had done. However, due to her hesitation and reluctance to meet with Velvi, she missed a golden opportunity to confront the Herrscher.

Just because of this selfish, incompetent, and foolish thinking, the boy lost the person he loved most and even became paralyzed in both legs.

The body was severely eroded by Honkai energy.

Their lifespan is less than a few years.

On a psychological level, they have lost all will to live and actively exploit their own lives in order to no longer live in a lonely world.

In this cruel world, where there is no one else willing to embrace, love, or offer warmth from life, there is no one else to share it with.

Even if we call it "sealing the heart with cement," it just feels like using cement to describe the boy's current mentality is too shallow and too easy.

This sadness—having experienced beauty and happiness, yet vanishing in the blink of an eye like a bubble in the sunlight—is truly heavy.

She caused all of this disaster.

Never having done a single successful and correct thing, they will only bring disaster, and will only bring suffering like... no, like the Herrscher.

Even the last period of my life, or at least what I consider to be the last bit of my life.

He made up his mind to sacrifice himself.

To exchange this meaningless life for a beautiful ending for the boy.

The act of courage she mustered because she hoped not to die with regrets was nothing more than sneaking up on the boy while he was asleep, using a despicable, filthy, and malicious heart to make some small contact between Wilvi and Jiang Cheng that could not even be considered a normal moment of romance.

Until the very end, when he was about to sacrifice himself, about to use this Herrscher—a being born to destroy others, to harm the world, and who had repeatedly ruined the happiness of young people—in exchange for that beautiful ending.

This should have been the end of the story, the highlight, the only possibility to rewrite everything, allowing even a Herrscher to bear a moment of beauty.

Unfortunately, due to his own emotional turmoil, he didn't check his weapons beforehand, and the resurrection process was interrupted by the audio left by Wilvi.

Even this last chance to rewrite everything is gone.

Clearly, as long as you put your heart into it, as long as you work hard, as long as you succeed, that's all that matters.

Every choice was wrong, and every mistake led to the saddest and most desperate ending for the boy.

Even earlier, there were choices between the residents and the teenagers in the small town, and between the tourists and the teenagers on their journey.

Jiang Cheng was the one who picked up the girl, and the boy was the one who blocked the wooden stick, like a hero, like a prince.

Clearly, the boy is the closest friend, the most inseparable relative, the most intimate friend, and the only companion on the long journey.

The girl's life was filled with hesitation and uncertainty. Every time she mustered up her courage and tried to do something, she encountered something even worse, as if fate was playing tricks on her and a despicable hand was controlling everything.

Every choice inevitably leads to the worst, most hopeless outcome.

Countless, repeated, terrible accumulations, the accumulation of repeated mistakes, can even bring beautiful things to the brink of destruction.

This should have been perfect; the real prince and princess met with an ending that was not meant for them.

but……

Are we really going to give up because of these things?

Must we allow Jiangcheng to fall into the abyss just because of these past failures?

Must we repeat our past ridiculous actions and destroy the possibilities and hopes that belong to young people once again?

Even though Velvi was willing to sacrifice herself, even though Velvi had become Icarus, even though she had prepared a final backup plan.
