The Lost Corridor fell silent after Argos's complete disintegration. The black void-blade of 0% Sanity had done its work. Daniel stood alone, breathing heavily, the golden baton still clutched tightly in his right hand. His body trembled from the backlash of pushing his sanity to absolute zero.
The air shimmered softly behind him.
A familiar figure in a flowing white dress stepped out of the fading light.
Jeanne du Blanche.
She moved gracefully through the remnants of the battlefield, her silver hair catching the faint golden glow still lingering from the Symphony. Her luminous blue eyes held a mixture of pride and deep sorrow as she looked at Daniel.
"You pushed yourself to the edge again," she said gently. "Even further than before."
Daniel turned to face her, exhaustion clear in his posture, though Recovery Unlimited was already trying to stabilize him.
"I had no choice," he replied quietly. "Argos saw everything. I had to become something it couldn't predict."
Jeanne nodded, stepping closer until she stood directly in front of him.
"This is the last time I can intervene like this, Daniel. The Pantheon is watching closely now. They allow me only one final act."
She raised her right hand and placed it softly against his chest, right over his heart.
A warm, pure white light flowed from her palm into him.
"I give you my blessing — **Blanche Blessing**."
```

The white light sank deep into Daniel's core. He felt the constant, gnawing pressure that had plagued him since the rampage finally ease. The chaotic whispers in his mind quieted. His thoughts became sharper, steadier.
Jeanne kept her hand on his chest a moment longer, her expression softening.
"You have grown so much, Conductor. But the road ahead is darker than you know. Allseer is moving. The shadow of No. Infinity stirs. The Party Creators are not finished. And the Pantheon… they are becoming desperate."
She stepped back, the white light around her beginning to fade.
"This is the last time I can bring you here to rest. Use the Blanche Blessing wisely. It will help you protect those you care about — especially Vannia."
Daniel met her eyes.
"Thank you, Jeanne. For everything."
She gave him one last gentle smile, full of quiet hope.
"Rest now. When you wake, return to your allies. The final movement is approaching."
The meadow-like pocket dimension began to form around them once more — soft grass, gentle hills, the sound of a flowing stream. Jeanne guided Daniel to lie down on the grass.
As his eyes grew heavy, the last thing he saw was Jeanne standing over him, her white dress glowing softly like moonlight.
"Sleep, Daniel. Let your sanity heal."
He closed his eyes.
For the first time in what felt like forever, the Conductor allowed himself true rest — protected by the final blessing of the woman in white.
