Once a Synchronist of the Exostrider from Rabelle College, she is now a digital ghost, humming amidst the stars.

Space Fantasy: Katya VI is an absolute classic among players across <te href=850079>Solaris</te>. Renowned for its immersive RPG experience and highly refined combat system, the game invites players to step into the journey of a lone hero—one who encounters a wide cast of recruitable companions to stand against the universe's encroaching evil. Beyond its epic narrative and battles, Aemeath's personal favorite is an easter-egg mini-game. After clearing the main story, she would often return to it, playing together with her family in their cottage. <i>"Haha! Locked in the No. 1 spot on the Lahai-Roi Blocks leaderboard!"</i>

When the hands covering Aemeath's eyes were lifted, a small box lay waiting in front of her. The four friends around her smiled brightly, urging her to open it already. Inside was a miniature <te href=700008>Exostrider</te> figurine. The young <te href=700009>Synchronist</te>s gathered around her, chatting excitedly like little birds as they wished her a happy birthday—hoping she would one day become the one to truly pilot the Exostrider, hoping they would all make it to the real starry sky together. Aemeath’s lips moved, as if she were about to say something, but in the end she kept her wish to herself. After giving the gift a gentle brush, she stood up and embraced her friends with a bright smile.

Aemeath sat atop the academy building, quietly enjoying the breeze as it brushed past her. She had folded countless paper planes over the years, yet she always remembered the very first one made in the cottage. Afternoon light had streamed through the window, keeping the cold snow and wind outside. Inside, the fireplace crackled softly, and a pot of stew simmered on the stove, filling the room with a warm, sweet fragrance. Her family had sat beside her, nimble fingers folding a paper plane meant to fly farther and higher. Aemeath had lifted her face just in time to see {Male=his;Female=her} smiling and holding the finished plane out to her. The scene faded with the haze of memory. The academy’s view returned before her eyes. With a faint smile, Aemeath released the newly folded paper plane into the wind.
A snowflake landed on Aemeath's nose, its chill lightly tingling. She stared at the lake for a moment, then decided against splashing it. She remembered another day on the frostlands, when she pulled huge Foxtail Kelps from the water and wielded them like swords. The Snowfluff Seals were her opponents, and she was the great hero. Those gentle, sluggish creatures never stood a chance—she always won. But that time, she'd gone too far. Kelp pieces ended up scattered all over the cottage, leaving a dreadful mess. When that person came home and saw it, {Male=he;Female=she} was speechless for a long while. Of course, Aemeath received a serious lecture. But the guilt of having been too harsh on a child soon crept in, and before long, that person bought her a stack of game cartridges as an apology. It worked instantly. Aemeath dove headfirst into video games and forgot all about her battles with the seals. Among everything she played, her favorite was the Space Fantasy: Katya series. Traveling through space to save the universe as a calm, handsome, slightly melancholic hero—it was perfect. No one could ever resist that. One day, Aemeath pushed open the door and found that person sitting on the sofa, reading. She happily squeezed in beside them and held up the controller. "Play with me," her body language said clearly. No explanation was needed. That person smiled, tapped her nose lightly, and agreed. Winter dragged on outside, but the fireplace burned steadily, filling the room with warmth and quiet peace. After playing for a while, Aemeath spoke up. "Let's stop here for today. Oh—guess what? I found a hidden room on the right side of the map! The password is 9072. You can play <te href=260004>Lahai-Roi</te> Blocks there. It's really fun." "That's surprising," that person said. "Weren't you in a hurry to finish the quest and save the world just yesterday?" Aemeath shook her head and laughed. "I was, but not today. And if we finish the quest, the game ends too… I want to play with you a bit longer. Even saving the world needs a break, right? You have to rest properly! A warm hand rested on her head, gently ruffling her hair. After a brief pause, that person said quietly, "You're right, Aemeath. I'll try." "Then… let's start now?" "Alright. Starting now." That person smiled. "Honestly, being here with you already feels like a rest. Come on—Lahai-Roi Blocks. You go first."
