27 24 301 AniZhuanchangEnd A mechanical puppet is spinning a wooden wheel in the middle of the stage.
28 27 301 1 Pulao Just in time, the show has just started. 1
29 28 301 Liv What is that? 2
30 29 301 Pulao A spinning wheel, which is used to spin threads according to the records in the data. 1
31 30 301 Pulao In the past, people needed to use the spinning wheel to twist the materials into a string before weaving them into cloth. 1

33 32 301 The mechanical puppet who is spinning threads stands up with the music, and follows several similarly dressed mechanical puppets up the steps projecting the clouds. The surrounding scenery changes into a lake.
34 33 301 Gradually, people with different expressions gather around the stage. They all remain quiet while watching the mechanical puppets perform.
35 34 301 The spinning mechanical puppet falls in love with a shabby-looking puppet, but the two of them are forced to separate amidst a thunderstorm on the stage.
36 35 301 To get together again, the puppet slaughters a mechanical cow and tears off its cowhide. Having given up everything, he runs to the sky with his child.

38 37 301 1 Liv Poor them... Why can't people who love each other be reunited, even in a story? 1
39 38 302 Because stories are based on reality. 39
40 39 301 Liv Based on reality... 1
41 41 201 1 500143
42 42 301 1 Yazi It's the same way in reality. People who love each other will always be separated. 1
43 43 301 Yazi has been standing behind everyone for some time. 1
44 44 301 Yazi ...The same happened to "Qu". 1
45 45 302 If there's a choice... 46
46 46 301 Yazi Indeed. If they had a choice, they'd be standing here today. 1
47 47 301 Yazi turns back. Her mask is silent like a rock smoothed out by a river stream, hiding all emotions beneath it.

49 48 301 1 Liv If there's a choice... 1
50 49 301 Liv recites the sentence silently, as if remembering something of the past that she does not want to recall.
51 50 301 The mechanical puppets on the stage are separated by the Milky Way amidst the sad music, creeping on the shore, trying to reach out to each other.

53 51 301 1 Yazi The story was set from the moment they were born as the cowherd and the weaving maid. 1
54 52 301 Yazi They think they can change the future through their struggles, but the truth is that they've merely chosen the path that hurts the least. 1
55 53 301 Yazi Or, the path that must be trodden, no matter the cost. 1
56 54 302 Are you talking about "Qu"? 55 Is this about you? 55
57 55 301 The floor of the stage turns into a bridge made of magpies in the projection. Upon such a touching scene, Yazi lets out a bitter smile.
58 56 301 Yazi Is it important? They'll never be apart anymore, yet I'll always be here. 1
59 57 301 The mechanical puppets hug and cry on the magpie bridge. The audience under the stage bursts into applause. Eventually, some begin to stand up and leave.
60 58 302 Never be apart...? 59
61 59 301 Yazi does not answer your question. She simply joins the crowd of departing people.
62 302 201 1 1031001
63 60 301 Liv Though the M.I.N.D. of "Qu" and Huaxu were damaged, they were also merged in such a way that's inseparable. 1
64 61 302 ... 662
65 662 204 1 14
66 62 301 Liv Is that freedom? 1
67 63 302 They made their choice. 64
68 64 301 Liv Even if it means they have to end up like this? 1
69 65 302 Yeah. 66
70 66 301 Liv lowers her head thoughtfully. 1
71 67 302 What's on your mind? 68
72 68 301 Liv It's nothing... 1
73 667 204 1 1
74 69 301 She looks up with a gentle, but enigmatic smile. 1
75 70 301 Liv At least... not now. I can't tell you something uncertain. 1
