SincePelawas confirmed to be underage, many players called on to HoYoverse to change a text conversation where she’s asking the Trailblazer for tips on how to sober up. Recently, Reddit user Laevialili shared thatHonkai: Star Railchanged the dialogue from Pela being intoxicated to being sleep-deprived. In a screenshot shared on the platform, she now asks the Trailblazer how to “stave off sleepiness.”
Honkai: Star Railplayers who’ve already encountered this specific message confirmed that HoYoverse changed her message in their text archives. However, there were some mixed reactions regarding the edit as players noticed that their chosen response to Pela’s message still mentioned the act of sobering up. Laevialili said it was a “lazy change” because HoYoverse only focused on Pela’s message but left out everything else. There were also a few who pointed out the typo in the new message, which players defended as simply a result of Pela’s sleep deprivation.

Whether HoYoverse plans to edit the text archive further will be up to the developers, especially if they’re working on bigger, more important updates.
