My worry might've been correct, I felt a little missing on context, presumably due to not finishing the post-game in Prodigal. Like every Colorgrave game though, I think I could wrap my head around the story by the end.

The final boss was as cool as the song accompanying it, that's what mattered most of course.
🎶 Hollow hearts speak painful truths 🎶
🎶 A crown weighs heavy on the fool 🎶
🎶 A lonely hero in the dark 🎶
🎶 One day soon we'll touch the stars 🎶
