I just wanted you to make a movie: You made a Honkai Star Rail movie

Hallucination? Conspiracy? An enemy or a friend?

With deep questions and lingering fear, viewers kept watching.

When Stelle truly opened her eyes and saw the real Express and everyone on it, fans finally breathed a sigh of relief.

...

: At least reality is real. Damn, I couldn't even believe the things she said in that scene.

--------------------------

: So, was that a dream just now? Or some other strange space?

: This episode is a bit of a brain teaser.

: From the known information, Stelle met with Acheron, and after a long conversation...

: Later, when meeting Acheron again, who knows if the other person will remember.

...

On the Express.

"In my dream, I seemed to have been slashed." Stelle wiped away her tears, still feeling a sharp pain in her abdomen.

"Sounds like you had a nightmare, Pom. We've just arrived in the Asdana star system, and something like this happens…"

"You better be careful. It seems like you have low resistance to dreams." Pompom gave a warning, kindly adding, "But don't worry about it too much. Dreams and reality are distinctly different. While you were asleep, the express has already reached its destination."

Hearing this, Stelle looked out the Express window.

What appeared wasn't a planet but a massive building-like structure suspended in space.

Its exterior was constructed in silver and gold.

At the entrance stood a circular plate resembling a clock, its purpose unknown.

"…The border prison from back then has now been transformed into a hotel," Stelle remarked.

"Although I, the conductor, am curious about what Penacony is like nowadays, unfortunately, I can't leave the Express…"

"So, you all should enjoy it for me."

"Take all your bad feelings and nightmares and have a blast to blow them away." Pompom stood next to Stelle, standing on tiptoes to get a better look.

"Pompom is right." Stelle shook her head, clearing her mind before heading to the carriages with Pompom to regroup with the others.

After some brief preparations, the group began the complicated boarding process.

On the way, they saw people of various races, some appearing almost as if pieced together from spare parts.

Yet the customs treated everyone equally.

Everyone received meticulous care and attention.

This was the first time fans could experience the concept of harmony through the storyline.

A feeling of embracing all and loving everything.

No wonder everyone would say, it's fine to worry about anyone threatening the universe, except Penacony.

In such a peaceful and loving place, it was hard to imagine what sort of conflict could arise.

Finally, after a laborious boarding process, the Express group arrived at the hotel lobby.

The massive structure towered into the sky, resembling three giant pistons.

From the front, the sides had layers upon layers of floors. From a distance, due to its height, they looked like dense stripes.

In the center of the lobby stood a floating six-sided die, with each side engraved with an artistic clock face.

"Even though the boarding process was troublesome, this hotel lobby is incredible!"

"It's like a mountain. Those dense lines must be guest rooms. How many people could stay here?"

March 7th exclaimed in awe.

Stelle nodded in agreement beside her.

The two couldn't wait and rushed to the front desk.

Welt and Himeko, who had entered earlier, were already waiting there.

But seeing the long line of people behind them, it seemed like the check-in process wasn't going smoothly.

March took the lead, urging the staff.

Stelle followed closely, but as she reached the steps, she suddenly turned her head, looking to the side.

In the camera's frame appeared a familiar figure.

"Welcome to the Daydream Hotel. We hope you have an unforgettable vacation! If you need to check in, please proceed to the hotel desk."

Unnoticed until now, Misha was standing there.

Like a hotel bellboy, he introduced himself with a courteous tone.

But as travelers continued to pass by him, Misha seemed to only address Stelle.

The audience saw Misha again.

The eerie and unsettling atmosphere made fans' hairs stand on end.

"It's…the child from the dream." Stelle frowned and asked, "Are you…a hotel attendant?"

"I am Misha, a bellboy of Penacony. Pleased to serve you," he replied.

"If you need assistance with your luggage…"

Before Misha could finish, March 7th had already called back from the front where she was, waving at Stelle.

"Hey! Stelle, hurry up, something seems off!"

"Oh, coming!" Stelle responded and turned away.

Misha, unfazed by the interruption, continued smiling politely and added, "If you need help with your luggage, feel free to ask me. Go on, don't keep your friends waiting."

Over there, March 7th continued urging.

Stelle took one last deep look at Misha before hurriedly moving away.

The camera lingered on Misha's back, watching as he silently observed Stelle disappearing into the crowd.

...

: Oh my god, goosebumps.

: This Misha is way too creepy. Something's definitely wrong with him!

: How can it be so eerie in broad daylight with so many people? Just looking at him makes me sweat.

: This Penacony setting is about dreams, but could it have a ghost story twist?

: Ghosts in broad daylight? Go get Huohuo's Tail now!

: That last shot had way too much foreshadowing. Has Stelle been targeted by this guy?

: Could the crisis in Penacony be all about Misha?

...

Fans speculated endlessly.

In the game, players could gather various information through items, official previews, and even leaks to guess the storyline.

But focused solely on the plot, presented as a drama, Penacony from the very beginning has been shrouded in suspense.

Mysterious events everywhere. And a host of enigmatic characters.

Misha is undoubtedly one of the most significant figures among them.

When you open a door in a dream and see a little boy that no one else can see, and then, in broad daylight after waking up, you also see the same boy—while others still can't.

That feeling is what fans are currently experiencing.

At this moment, the screen flashes, and the camera focuses on the hotel front desk.

Welt and Himeko are negotiating with the receptionist.

"I'm sorry, but the system doesn't show any rooms booked under the name you mentioned."

The receptionist apologetically said.

"But the information received by the Astral Express clearly stated that rooms were pre-booked for us. Could you please check again?"

Himeko said politely.

After another search by the hotel receptionist, the problem was finally understood.

It turned out that when the family sent the invitation to the Express, Stelle had not yet joined the crew.

As a result, the reserved rooms were only for four people.

"Hmm... Dan Heng can't make it due to some issues. Could you please transfer his reserved room to this child?"

"Stelle is a new passenger on the Express. We can vouch for her identity."

Welt pondered for a moment and sighed heavily.

However, the receptionist still looked troubled.

Stelle and March 7th immediately stood with hands on their hips.

What? Look down on the Galaxy Baseballer?

Stelle instantly pulled out the Trailblazer's lance from thin air, putting on a display of weaponry for the receptionist.

The flaming lance was enough to demonstrate overwhelming force.

"No, it's not that I doubt your identity. It's just..."

The receptionist, startled, took two steps back, her face full of regret as she tried to explain further.

At that moment, a smooth and pleasant young male voice came from behind.

"It's just that during the Harmony Festival, the hotel is completely packed with guests from all over the galaxy."

"Hotel security is stretched thin, and they can't afford any mistakes. Ensuring nothing goes wrong is indeed not easy under these circumstances."

"Everyone from the Astral Express, please don't make things difficult for them."

The figure, along with a person walking slowly behind everyone, was incredibly familiar to fans.

Isn't this the person fans have discussed online for ages—the one who topped the "most disliked character" list even before the premiere of Penacony?

Aventurine appeared with a faint smile, approaching the group.

"We encountered some issues while checking in. I deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused to you."

"And who might this gentleman be?"

Welt adjusted his glasses and asked politely.

"Aventurine, a humble member of the Interastral Peace Corporation's Strategic Investment Department, responsible for bad asset liquidation under the 'Diamond' branch."

"I was also invited by the Watchmaker, and incidentally, I was waiting behind you all."

Aventurine placed one hand on his hip, speaking in a leisurely tone.

"I heard that the Interastral Peace Corporation also received an invitation. Presumably, you are their representatives?"

Himeko and Welt exchanged a glance, then stepped forward to begin negotiating with Aventurine.

"IPC elites truly exude an extraordinary aura. Such an impressive figure, could you possibly do us a favor?"

Himeko started with praise before making her request.

Himeko's approach was flawless.

But she was facing the Interastral Peace Corporation's negotiation expert.

"Did I hear that right? Do you a favor?"

"Shouldn't it be me saying that to all of you?"

"I've been waiting here for over ten minutes. Do you know how much those ten minutes are worth in credits to me?"

Aventurine chuckled lightly, his tone carrying a subtle sense of pressure.

Himeko frowned slightly, then smiled and made a suggestion.

"It must be an astronomical figure. So now, Mr. Aventurine, I have an investment opportunity you can't afford to miss."

"Using the IPC's name to vouch for this child saves your time and helps you gain new friends."

As she finished speaking, Aventurine nodded and smiled faintly.

"Interesting. And what kind of new friends are worth the investment?"

Himeko didn't answer directly.

Instead, she suggested they make friends first, and as fellow invitees of the Watchmaker, why not enter the hotel and discuss it further after settling down?

"Fine, fine. But, Ms. Navigator, I must point out one thing."

"If I intervene, the time saved is something I earn for myself, not something you grant me."

"But I particularly liked your last point. Friends—yes, nothing is more precious than friends, especially distinguished ones."

Aventurine smiled.

He gladly accepted Himeko's suggestion.

Himeko also smiled.

The sharp exchange between the two adults left the audience dazzled.

...

: Aventurine really is different from Topaz. This guy's words are full of cunning!

: Wow, their verbal sparring was so fascinating!

: Himeko tried to play the goodwill card, but when she realized Aventurine's nature through his tone, she immediately switched tactics.

: She began appealing to interests and benefits, but Aventurine still maintained his tough, high-handed attitude.

: Exactly! After deciding to agree, he even gave the Express crew an out and smoothed things over.

: This mix of toughness and friendliness—what else can you expect from a negotiation expert?

: But honestly, I really don't like his tone. Compared to Topaz, he falls short!

: True. Every conversation feels overly calculated, dripping with purpose and commercial thinking—honey-tongued yet sharp. But this personality perfectly fits Aventurine's role.

...

A simple dialogue.

Aventurine's first appearance left a profound impression on fans.

Negotiation expert. Business-minded. Opportunistic.

But none of these impressions were positive ones.
