"Reach the end of the story in your own way"
MC: _does it_
Kafka: "but.. Elio's script" 👁️👄👁️

[raincandy]

She really is pulling the whole "mother knows best but it's your choice... Just remember, mother knows best" script

[aurelia]

It's not included in the video, but you also get a text from Kafka the next day, basically congratulating you on defying fate.

The funny part about this is Kafka herself said she prefers it if Trailblazer would decide for herself and go against Ellio's script. And she said in a strangely ecstatic way back in the opening mission of the game.

[kaizer-senpai]

March: Did you do it?
Trailblazer: Yes
March: On what cost?
Trailblazer: EVERYTHING

As expected from HSR, where dialogue actually has impact to the story. You can literally end your game earlier if you refused to go with the Astral Express at the beginning of the game.

[ziihh]

Kafka: But Elio said you'll help me in his future visions..
MC: Elio is a dumbass, welcome to the real world where you never know what will happen.

I refused her till the point she says there is no turning back and then was too anxious to leave 😅

[callmeandoru]

Note to self, every time Kafka tells you that you have to do something, you can always refuse it and get a secret ending

[mynameisttroy]

“no im leaving”
*changes to blade then runs away*

[Shian-ewif]

this is interesting. she was literally begging us to stay, but in the way that we fell like she’s just telling that we might regret it. i really want to see what she really thinks of us and i wonder how can our decisions like in this quest change our relationships.

[IceKnight]

The more confident she is at me accepting, the more I’m going to refuse

[Blackoutdmc]

So interesting the last time the player was given a choice like this, the game straight up ENDED. But here, the quests just ends and you can go about your business. Heck, you even get an achievement for it. In any future quests involving Kafka or Blade, are they going to remember these previous actions?

Feels like a Stanley Parable moment when you keep going against the narrator.

[holymoly]

You know he break his destiny, absolute truly maincharacter choice

It's super interesting how much you learn about Kafka in this interaction, the way she talks about fate as something that's just different lines that lead to similar places, how Elio taught her this, makes you wonder what her life before was, what her worldview was like. She also says that you can change her, maybe this is the way Elio promised her that she would be finally able to feel real fear, maybe later in the story we will do something that will scare her, maybe threaten her life, maybe she will care enough about us that when our life is threaten she will be afraid for us. The detail of her changing her tone of voice near the end is such a good decision from the dub's director cause she sounds geniuenly sincere, like she actually wants us to break fate, to make our own future.
I know people don't like Kafka, she's a criminal and a manipulator, she's basically Makima but more morally grey, but I honestly feel all the Stellaron Hunters are fairly complex characters with interesting stories and that we'll eventually discover what makes them tick, and Kafka to me seems like even with all that's bad about her, actually cares about us, in her emotionless psychopathic way, who knows, maybe we were someone important to her before being made into an walking atomic bomb.

Imagine if the quest just straight up ended without giving you the reward, that would be hilarious lmao

[kaizermorde]

The game gives you a right of choice, this is really nice, I like it. Genshin in this sense is a very direct
