  • Seek assistance from Giovanna. She will be located on the third floor of The Reverie (Reality).
  • Obtain the Soulheal Special Mix from Giovanna and give it to Cocona to solve the problem.
  • After drinking the potion, she will ask for your help to retrieve a record from The Reverie (Dreamscape).
  • Head to the marked location in The Reverie (Dreamscape) and fend off the nearby enemies to acquire the Envision A Rose Forthcoming record.

  • Head to the piano as Cocona and interact with the instrument to scroll through the next set of dialogues.
  • Approach her friend near the cello to learn more about Cocona.
  • Go down the stairs and talk to her parents. They will disappear after the dialogue, leaving behind a gift box.
  • Touch the gift to relive the next memory.
  • Here, you will have to interact with a series of NPCs, including her co-workers and supervisors.
  • Once you scroll through all the dialogue, head to the front of the shop.
  • Talk to Ego to initiate a battle. Use the best team to fend off the enemy to progress further.
  • Touch the ice cream to enter the third memory.
  • Once again, you will have to complete the dialogue sequence with the nearby NPCs.

  • Talk to him and head to the nearby flower bed to interact.

You can either Hold Onto Cocona or Let Cocona Go to unlock the corresponding achievement in Honkai Star Rail.

Hold Onto Cocona

For this outcome, choose “Grab Cocona’s hand” after the dialogue. Show some patience and keep selecting to grab her hand and hold on every time until she feels relieved.

Once you leave the Emoscape, find Cocona in the Golden Hour and bring her to the Clockie's Statue. The mission will end after she plays her record, rewarding the Towards the Brighter Side achievement.


Let Cocona Go

Letting her go is an easy way out of Emoscape. Choose “Watch Cocona leave” to see her leave. She disappears by the time you return to Golden Hour.

Now, ask Giovanna about her situation and head to the Penacony Luxury Goods store. You will learn that she has been replaced by someone named Virage.

The Envision a Rose Forthcoming mission ends once you talk to the NPC. Bear in mind that the alternate outcome will unlock the “He Grew Up Under This Sunshine” achievement. Other rewards for this mission include Stellar Jades, Credit, and various in-game resources.
