IKR , if you look closely ! There are some red flags for Firefly Idk why people are talking about himeko to die ? These dumb people don't even know why Welt is in the honkai star rail universe

[@Gaeshiete]

​@@rynox9084 Himeko dies in every universe no matter what, those "dumb" people actually have knowledge of this fact, like FFS play GGZ/HG2 before talking to us

[@23_srinjoy79]

​@@rynox9084 Yes. Everyone just saw Himeko staring at nothing and thought that's a red flag, although that's the case for every other express member too. Except for March, who is taking selfies, and Caelus/Stelle, who is dancing. Welt came to the HSR world just for protecting Himeko. The only way anything is happening to her is over Welt's dead body. Firefly is the one who is tripping all kinds of flags. Which is sad, we haven't even got to know the character yet, and we are already getting hints about her impending doom. The biggest one being that scene in the trailer where Caelus watches Firefly falling down and down in a void.

that was a terrible lie

[@maccavann8519]

I'm starting to think this time it's going to be firefly next, from the trailer it seems that she will end up having a very sad fate, ONTOP of the fact that the MC has gotten very close to her in both trailers and it seems we will be good friends with her and that is a red flag including the fact that she vanishes at the end of the music video. As a HI3 vet and a starrail player I am NOT ready to suffer again.

[@renge598]

Add to that the lore already ingame: Caelus/Stelle was already in relationship with ''Firefly'' BEFORE starting the game, is stated the MC was part of the Stellaron Hunters but SOMETHING happened and Elio sent Kafka to put Herta's Stellaron inside MC to wake him/her up. Then MC gets messages from almost every member (Jin doesn't use his phone so Bronie takes it instead) and SAM is the only one who doesn't talk, just sent some stickers and if you see the stickers you can realize kind of the message. Notice how in the Jepella Rebellion trailer SAM talks to kafka normally but with MC couldn't. Something happened, MC lost memories, ''Firefly'' lost body becoming part of SAM. The girl we see inside Penacony Dreamland is her ''past self'' because in reality is now in the robot.

spilers for end of story quest as of 2.0 tbh firefly had more character progression than all of the other characters that weve met so far in just that like what 20-40 minute interaction we got with her honestly one of the best characters in the game, if shes just dead im gonna be so mad. luckily and yes im saying luckily robin also died who we didnt really get to know at all so i highly doubt their just dead and if they are its honestly just like really bad writing tbh

[@Sinloud]

Yeah, they've already pulled that "introduce a new friendly character and kill him 1 hour later for (non-existent) emotional damage" trope in genshin with what-was-his-name soldier boy.

[@iech0526]

From what I’ve heard, Firefly is the pilot of the mech suit. Not surprising she would have a code name called Sam when in the mech suit. Also, she is apparently the last of her kind bred for war when the stellaron hunters found her in the ruins of a destroyed transport ship. iirc, the natural side effect of piloting the mech suit is slow descent into madness and death. Aka, firefly literally is losing years of her life by piloting the mech suit when she is known as Sam.
