He was your first.
For everything.
Ever since you started playing Honkai StarRail, your favourite character was Dan Heng. I mean, he was everyone's beginner crush, right? But then you met Blade. The ever-grim, suicidal and depressed Stellaron Hunter that wrecked havoc and bloodshed wherever he went.
In other words, Bladie.
He was your first Character on a Character Banner, coming at an early Pity, he was your first Character to obtain 5-Star relics, he was the first to reach level 80 and have all his traces completed. Every time you thought about quitting StarRail, he was the reason you stayed.
You just finished a world in the Simulated Universe. Your whole team died. Except for guess who. And, once again, you were bubbly with excitment and pride. Finally, your Bladie actually CRIT-! And beat the boss on his own!
You couldn't wait to praise him. And he silently enjoyed every little smile you gave him.
