Man On The Moon

Epilogue

As the Stellaron Hunters regroup at their base, Kafka, Silver Wolf, Blade, and Firefly's thoughts linger on the recent events and their encounter with Vettel. The encounter had left a lasting impression on them, and they couldn't help but think of him as a hero. Kafka, leaning against the wall, voices her thoughts aloud.

Kafka: "That Vettel sure was somethin', wasn't he?"

Silver Wolf, lounging on a nearby chair, nods in agreement.

Silver Wolf: "Yeah, he was pretty damn badass. Taking on the Swarm disaster and saving us all like that. Not your average Joe."

Blade, standing silently in the corner, speaks up in his usual stoic manner.

Blade: "He had strength. And resolve. A rare combination."

Blade, standing silently in the corner, speaks up in his usual stoic manner.

Blade: "He had strength. And resolve. A rare combination."

Kafka nods, her expression thoughtful.

Kafka: "Heroes come in all shapes and forms. And Vettel certainly fits the bill. It's funny how life works out sometimes. We came here as Stellaron Hunters, and we encountered a hero instead."

Kafka nods, her expression thoughtful.

Kafka: "Heroes come in all shapes and forms. And Vettel certainly fits the bill. It's funny how life works out sometimes. We came here as Stellaron Hunters, and we encountered a hero instead."

Firefly giggles, a glint in her eyes.

Firefly: "Hey, age is just a number, right? Maybe it's about time heroes got a bit of black hair. Vettel proved he's got what it takes, no matter how old he is."

Blade, still leaning against the wall, interjects.

Blade: "Age brings experience and wisdom. Vettel's journey has shaped him. He's seen things we haven't. Experienced hardships we can't fathom. Those things refine a person and make them stronger. That's what makes him a hero."

On the Astral Express, Stelle, Caelus, Dan Heng, March7th, Himeko, and Welt Yang sit together in the main lounge, reflecting on their encounter with Vettel. The memory of his bravery and selflessness still resonates with them. Welt Yang, his eyes gazing into the distance, speaks first.

Welt Yang: "Vettel was quite the hero, wasn't he?"

Stelle nods, a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Stelle: "He saved us from the Swarm disaster. Gave his all to protect us. It's like he was a different kind of hero we've never met before."

Dan Heng, his expression solemn, adds his thoughts.

Dan Heng: "His selfless sacrifice will be remembered. He didn't hesitate to put his life on the line for us. That kind of courage and resolve is truly inspiring."

March7th, her usual cheerful demeanor slightly tempered by the gravity of their adventure, chimes in.

March7th: "Yeah, Vettel was like a real hero out of a storybook. He saved us all and didn't even think twice about it. He's the real deal, that's for sure."

Himeko, watching the stars outside the window, nods in agreement.

Himeko: "Heroes come in many forms. Vettel may not have had a cape or a flashy superpower, but his actions spoke louder than any of those things. He was a true hero in the purest sense."

Stelle leans back in her seat, sighing deeply.

Stelle: "I wish we could have thanked him properly. We owe him a lot."

Caelus, sitting beside Stelle, nods in agreement.

Caelus: "Y'know what? You're right. We should find a way to express our gratitude. He saved our lives, and we didn't even get to say thank you."

Himeko, overhearing their conversation, chimes in.

Himeko: "Perhaps we'll cross paths with him again someday. If we do, we can properly express our gratitude then."

Pom-Pom, the little conductor of the Astral Express, waddles over to the group, sensing their contemplative mood.

Pom-Pom: "Is everything alright? You all look very thoughtful."

Stelle smiles at Pom-Pom, appreciating the concern.

Stelle: "We're just thinking about our encounter with Vettel. He saved us from a dangerous situation, and we're reflecting on his heroic actions."

Pom-Pom's eyes widen at the mention of Vettel.

Pom-Pom: "Ah, Vettel. He was quite the hero, wasn't he? I remember when the Astral Express visited Xianzhou Luofu, and we heard about his courage and selflessness."

Caelus nods, recalling the details.

Caelus: "Yeah, he was a hero in every sense of the word. He fought against the Swarm disaster and saved us all. We owe him a lot."
