▶Ruan Mei: Picture a sliver made up of beautiful dust, gases, and tiny specks, twirling around your finger like a captivating plum-colored mist.
▶Ruan Mei: This ornament — (Trailblazer), how does it strike you?
I imagine the flowers on the Express...
(Idle quote)
Ruan Mei: Flowers... seem a bit withered.
(Initial interaction)
▶Ruan Mei: I imagine the flowers on the Express wither quite quickly once their vibrancy fades...
▶Ruan Mei: I'm researching a cultivation technique to preserve flowers forever... not by turning them into dried flowers, but by allowing water and life to perpetually flow within their stems...
▶Ruan Mei: ...however, I'm concerned that making the ephemeral "permanent" might strip flowers of their fleeting beauty... Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet?
Why not produce some dried flowers?
How about embroidering their likeness?
▶Ruan Mei: I shan't discount it. There are countless ways to immortalize the most dazzling moments of a flower's life.
▶Ruan Mei: But, what remains most unforgettable... is the profound sensation of watching a flower fade away and the heartache that accompanies it.
(Subsequent interactions)
▶Ruan Mei: Without its inevitable departure, the charm of spring would diminish.
I'm curious about the Express' trajectory.
(Idle quote)
Ruan Mei: Will the Express pass by... my home?
(Initial interaction)
▶Ruan Mei: I'm curious about the Express' trajectory. Will it pass by the place I call home?
What's your homeworld like?
▶Ruan Mei: With its pristine waters, my homeland is like a tapestry of wonders. My father was a sculptor, but it was my mother's passion for research that I shared. Upon her passing, I held onto a piece of her brain tissue, as per her wishes.
▶Ruan Mei: However, after being chosen by Nous, I departed my home to delve into my research... Come to think of it, it's been quite some time since I last visited my father.
▶Ruan Mei: When I get a moment's respite, I ought to make a trip home to check on my father.
▶Ruan Mei: Perhaps I'll wait until I make further breakthroughs in my research on the Aeons.
Hmm... Everyone's talking about...
(Idle quote)
Ruan Mei: Never heard of these desserts...
(Initial interaction)
▶Ruan Mei: Hmm... Everyone's talking about this "seawater magma" flavored snack — it's becoming all the rage on quite a few planets. I've heard they extract seawater and combine it with magma from the mountains.
▶Ruan Mei: The taste is pleasant, but I personally have a soft spot for pastries that showcase more... organic flavors.
▶Ruan Mei: Speaking of which, I heard it's become quite common to photograph these delicacies and upload them to social media... and that doing so can even earn you sample treats from different purveyors.
▶Ruan Mei: However, I must admit... I'm not really skilled in that area. Do you have any advice?
Just place them in a sunny spot and snap a few pics.
▶Ruan Mei: Oh, is that all? Sounds great, I'll give it a go sometime.
Just strike a pose with a peace sign.
▶Ruan Mei: That pose would present... difficulties for me, but thank you for the suggestion.
▶Ruan Mei: I wonder if you'd be interested in seawater magma flavored pastries...
▶Ruan Mei: Should you take a liking to them, I'll make sure to prepare more next time.
(Subsequent interactions)

Hello, (Trailblazer), I hope it's not too bold...
(Idle quote)
Ruan Mei: Got hurt while embroidering...
(Initial interaction)
▶Ruan Mei: Hello, (Trailblazer). I hope it's not too bold of me to ask... do you happen to have any healing remedies?
▶Ruan Mei: It's a tad embarrassing, but I managed to prick my finger while embroidering just now.
▶Ruan Mei: At times, my eagerness gets the better of me. To truly capture the grace of the birds and flowers in the embroidery, one must be patient and adjust one's breathing.
(Give ointment)
▶Ruan Mei: The cool touch has alleviated some of the discomfort. It feels a bit better now.
▶Ruan Mei: Hmm, I don't have much with me to offer in return... These little fancies I wear are what I embroider in my free time. (Trailblazer), I can craft some for you too if you like.
(Subsequent interactions)
▶Ruan Mei: Such colorful embroidery — it feels even more expressive than a painting.
▶Ruan Mei: These little fancies I wear are what I embroider in my free time. (Trailblazer), would you fancy a spice sachet or a tassel pendant?
▶Ruan Mei: I can't explain it, but for some reason, the dynamics among the Express Crew often remind me of my relationship with Herta, Screwllum, and Stephen.
▶Ruan Mei: Still, in reality, we're nowhere near as close as you... Hmm, perhaps I'm drawing connections where there aren't any.
Sounds a lot like the Genius Society to me.
But you're still good friends, right?
▶Ruan Mei: I might not refer to them as friends — once the Simulated Universe project is over, chances are we'll part ways... but I'm grateful to Herta for always granting me some leeway on the space station.
▶Ruan Mei: As for Screwllum... he's a good-hearted noble. It's just that his area of interest doesn't quite align with my research goals.
▶Ruan Mei: Stephen is a kind-hearted boy, always making one feel compelled to look out for him.
▶Ruan Mei: Who knows when the Genius Society will have its next get-together.
The stars are precious to us.
I wonder what you'd find?
