That's a wrap on Pilgrim's Traverse.

I think we both need some rest, huh?

ASCEND
REGRESS

REGRESS

I LOVED YOU

I BEGGED YOU

I WARNED YOU

I MOURNED YOU.

would you still love me if all you had left of me was a several hundred foot tall crystaline obelisk designed to showcase the very worst of sentient minds' hubris?

lover, are you there?
lover, i am here,
lover,
oh lover.
come back to me, Please.

Nobis omnia sunt telis.

Homesick.

High, on the dawn we set our sights
A new horizon

To an open sky

it's
「WE DID EVERYTHING RIGHT, EVERYTHING THAT WAS ASKED OF US, AND STILL - STILL IT CAME TO THIS!」
all
「FOR EONS I HAVE MEASURED YOUR WORTH AND FOUND YOU WANTING! TOO WEAK AND FEEBLE-MINDED TO SERVE AS STEWARDS OF ANY STAR!」
