The audience was initially indifferent to the name.
But later, when they realized the deeper meaning behind "Mei," they would understand the weight of her story.
And that revelation would come soon, after Season 4.
"The golden sweet dream is starting to stir. In the long night ahead, you'll likely face many setbacks, witness numerous tragedies, and in the end, see only black and white."
Acheron spoke to Caelus.
The camera showed Boothill climbing to the top of the highest building.
Penacony's sky began to flash with lightning.
Boothill raised his gun and fired that bullet into the sky.
A streak of purple light, defying space, time, and causality, appeared resolutely before every Galaxy Ranger.
In that moment, as the purple meteor streaked by—meant to vanish in an instant—countless more meteors followed.
[This scene in the sky is too breathtaking!]
[Galaxy Rangers, cool as hell!]
— —
"But believe this: in that black-and-white world, a fleeting red will appear, and when you make your choice—it will manifest again."
Acheron unsheathed her blade Naught, and the river of The Nihility engulfed all of Penacony.
Caelus fell from the sky once more… but this time, Acheron caught his hand.
"And you must savor its meaning, then return to the waking world."
Caelus felt as if lifetimes had passed, awakening as if from a dream.
He raised his left hand to the sky, surrounded by the Astral Express crew.
"We'll all find the answers there."
The next moment, everyone summoned-motivated their weapons.
Facing the colossal Dominicus, they felt no fear!
Dominicus loomed over them, the composition of the shot amplifying their oppressive presence.
"Have you broken free from Order's dream?"
[I'm speechless!]
[This climax after climax—I'm no action star from Japan, but this is exhausting!]
[The visuals, the intensity!]
[I'm freaking hyped—this got me pumped!]
[I didn't quite get Acheron's true name reveal.]
[Kid, it's good you don't get it. You'll cry when you do.]
[Here comes Star Rail's cryptic bullet comments.]
[You'll understand the weight of that name once you play Honkai Impact 3rd.]
[So, miHoYo, release it already!]

March 7th looked at Caelus. "You've slept long enough—let him feel your morning rage!"
Caelus pulled out his top hat and held it in hand, the only means to counter The Harmony.
Dan Heng gripped Cloud-Piercer, showing no intent to transform.
Welt Yang tapped his cane lightly, summoning a massive black hole beneath his feet.
Himeko gazed at the orbital cannon in the sky, fully locked and loaded.
Caelus tossed the top hat high. "Listen to my song!"
Dominicus: "Without Order, how can the weak do good? If you have convictions—prove them to me."
Under Caelus's protection, the Express crew fought Dominicus together.
Blessed by The Harmony, the four others were unaffected.
"With 107,336 notes, I proclaim: join the glorious choir—ascend to paradise!"
Dominicus raised their baton and swung, unleashing countless notes.
The music of The Harmony surged toward the group, rendering movement nearly impossible.
Caelus gritted his teeth. "Everyone, keep up with my steps!"
The process was grueling—only Caelus, on the Path of The Harmony, could withstand the onslaught.
As Dominicus said, Caelus faced 107,336 notes!
Yet when the music ended, the group stood unscathed.
"If a dream is indistinguishable from reality, can it still be called false?" Dominicus swung their baton again.
The next moment, golden notes around them sprang into action.
"I command with a flawless symphony—recreate paradise!"
The overwhelming pressure struck again, and Caelus could no longer hold on.
Everyone was pinned to the ground, unable to move.
At that moment, countless meteors converged, illuminating the dark sky.
A feather fell from the heavens, rendering Dominicus's music ineffective.
Caelus gently caught the feather in his hands.
Robin, as planned, began singing dissonant notes into the dream.
"Music?" Dominicus looked around, searching for the source of the song.
"It seems another voice has emerged in Order's symphony… Penacony's first, and final, dissonance."
As the words faded, Caelus raised his feather-clutching hand to the sky.
The Astral Express roared in from the edge of the starry sea.
[The final member of The Trailblaze has arrived!]
[Akivili: Kids, I told Pom-Pom to floor it!]
[No way, what's the Express doing here?]
[The Express carries the power of The Trailblaze. It makes sense—it's The Trailblaze versus Order!]
[So damn cool!]
[This scene is gorgeous—the Express, the Rangers, Robin's song! Holy crap, this season's full of surprises!]
[Worth the 42-day wait!]
[I expected backup, but not the Express itself!]
[One Piece said it best: a ship is a vital crewmate!]
[You talking about Merry's story? Don't, man, I've cried enough today.]
[Quick question: is Pom-Pom driving?]
[Gotta be Pom-Pom. If something goes wrong, full blame!]
— —
Caelus pointed to the sky, and the Express charged from behind, aiming straight for Dominicus.
"Those imprisoned by the sweet dream are awakening for freedom."
Before Welt Yang's words settled, the Express slammed into Dominicus.
[The Express cleanses the world!]
[Haha, damn! Straight-up Trailblazing!]
[That's brutal—right in the kidneys?]
[Don't underestimate our bond with the Express!]
[Akivili: That's not how you use the Express!]
[Qlipoth: Feels familiar!]
[Reporter later: "How'd you defeat Dominicus?" Caelus: "You won't believe it—a traffic accident!"]
[Lightning-fast, the Astral Express!]
— —
Gravely wounded, Dominicus slowly raised their head.
"Robin, is that you singing…?"
