Only one situation would allow her to receive a perfect final resting place in peaceful old age: the expedition proceeds smoothly in the Shattered Star Ring, enabling the expedition to remain active for at least the next forty years.

From this moment, Red Blade Star and Source Star temporarily lost their backbone.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
