At this moment, Misha was still Misha, but his tone and demeanor were vastly different from before.

Facing March 7th's shock,

He calmly said, "That's the answer, Miss March 7th. This dream bubble is the cradle of my birth. I... am a dreamer no different from the Memory Zone Meme."

"I was supposed to wait in the dream bubble for your visit, but reality and memory overlapped, and I unconsciously pushed the door open, taking Clockie with me."

March 7th's eyes widened: "So the dream bubble left by The Watchmaker was empty not because it had no content, but because... its content left on its own?"

"The sound of the horn you heard was the train arriving in Penacony?"

Himeko: "That is one interpretation. But there should be a much longer story behind it. I think the full context, the confusing parts, should be explained by him personally..."

"How about starting with your name? Now, what should we call you, Misha, or..."

Misha nodded and smiled, "Thank you all for helping me recover this long journey. Allow me to reintroduce myself."

"I was born on the planet Lushaka in the Przesmyr star system, the adopted son of the navigator Mr. Mikhail and Mrs. Sharl. The elderly couple gave me a treasure, a name that carried their hopes and wishes—"

"Ragvok Sharl Mikhail, or more simply... Misha (Mikhail-Sharl)."

"If you prefer, you can also call me by the name more widely known—The Watchmaker."

At this moment,

Little Gui in the bottom right corner of the livestream was frozen in shock.

The screen paused on this sentence.

As if her CPU had crashed.

And the players in the livestream were in a similar state!

...

"!!!"

"??"

"Huh?"

"No way, dude! I was just wondering if Misha could be considered Mikhail's successor… and now you're telling me Misha is actually him?"

"Holy cow! The hotel bellboy who carries luggage for guests is actually The Watchmaker himself!?"

"This…"

"Unbelievable!"

"Oh my god! I actually pulled The Watchmaker!"

"Misha, you little rascal! Why didn't you tell me something this important earlier?"

"Isn't this worthy of a five-star form?"

"As expected, the first character you meet on a journey is never simple! The first person I met on Jarilo IV was Sampo, who's suspected to be an Emanator of Elation. The first person I met on Xianzhou was Tingyun, who turned out to be Phantylia of the Destruction army. And now, the first character I meet on Penacony is The Watchmaker!"

"Got it. Next time I go to a new planet, I'll just grab the first person I meet, force them to spill all the truth, and speedrun the whole thing!"

…

Under the TV.

Misha was completely stunned!

Clockie beside him also opened his mouth wide in shock.

"So that's how it is…"

Misha felt a bit dazed.

Seeing his own story from a third-person perspective.

He didn't have that "epiphany" moment like in the game.

Instead, he felt a bit lost, a bit confused.

Like an innocent child who suddenly had a heavy responsibility thrust upon him!

He couldn't quite accept it yet!

He could only continue watching the story.

Watching himself in the story, wondering what choices he would make next?

…

The Astral Express Crew.

Seeing this truth.

March 7th's expression of shock wasn't much different from her in-game counterpart.

She exclaimed, "Are all the four-star characters in Penacony this powerful?"

"Before going through these storylines, I thought they were just unimportant side characters…"

"But it turns out each one is more crucial than the last!!"

Himeko watched this part of the story.

A hint of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.

She murmured to herself, "Misha must have come out of the dream bubble long ago, not at the same time as the Astral Express arrived in Penacony…"

Old Yang, who overheard Himeko's muttering, spoke up, "I'm guessing the whistle Misha and Clockie heard was the first whistle after you fixed the train, right, Himeko?"

Himeko was instantly enlightened.

"If that's the case, then everything makes sense."

"Even though the crash site of the train and Penacony are separated by countless light-years, the sound of the train restarting still traveled across time and space, reaching a former Nameless on the other side of the universe."

"Perhaps, this is the romance of the Nameless."

…

"So, you're The Watchmaker himself?!"

Misha lowered his gaze.

A hint of regret appeared in his expression.

But perhaps it wasn't appropriate to call him Misha anymore.

Because the name beneath the character had already changed to The Watchmaker…

He explained, "Unfortunately, the dream tycoon that everyone admires is long gone. I'm just a fragment of his life."

"And the child who has accompanied you all this time is the innocent protagonist of his childhood dream—Clockie's good friend, a young apprentice, a future train mechanic…"

"And also, the starting point of his lifelong Trailblaze."

As he spoke.

Misha's youthful voice was mixed with an aged one.

The youthful voice seemed to be telling a story, while the aged voice sounded like a lament.

"At the end of my life's journey, I left this precious spark in the deepest of dreams, hoping to pass it on to the Nameless of future generations."

"But somehow, he managed to escape from the dream bubble on his own, completely forgetting his mission. My apologies, it must have been quite a spectacle for all of you."

Himeko: "I believe little Misha hasn't forgotten his duty as a guide. That's why he mistakenly took on the role of a hotel bellboy, appearing the moment the Trailblazer entered the dream."

"It must have been him who brought the unconscious Trailblazer here."

...

"In summary: Misha, Mikhail, Misha's grandfather, The Watchmaker, and the Nameless Kragwok are all the same person, just different slices and identities across time."

"Who could have guessed this before going through the story?"

"Misha Mikhail's childhood."

"To be precise, it also includes a bit of Mikhail's personal fantasies."

"It truly is the starting point of Mikhail's lifelong Trailblaze."

"Someone from the dream actually ran away—it feels like something straight out of a fairy tale!"

"Her subconscious still remembers her duty, which is why she took on the role of a hotel bellboy..."

"Big Sister Himeko's words were so well said!"

...

At The Reverie Hotel.

At this moment,

it should have been the preparation stage for all guests before entering Ena's Dream.

Everyone should have been returning to their rooms or choosing a good spot to drift off into slumber...

However.

The unfolding events of the story have kept everyone rooted in place.

The atmosphere at the scene is undergoing a subtle change!

"Is this the legacy of the Nameless?"

"I'm gradually understanding the true meaning of Trailblaze..."

"I choose to continue Trailblazing!"

"This Ena's Dream—I won't partake in it!"

"I've remembered the meaning of Trailblaze!"

"It's all coming back to me!"

"Sorry, Brother Sunday! The Dreamscape is wonderful, but forgive me for my wild and free spirit in this life!"

"D*mn it! You guys weren't like this just a moment ago!"
