AU where Galaxia doesn’t get a redemption reset and has to do everything from scratch, but this time while rebuilding everything she had destroyed over the course of being the cage and vessel of Chaos

Repentance is hard
It’s harder still when all your reasons for taking up chaos are still there
She still feels she deserves more than all that she is, still rages against the constraints of the world
But she returns to her planet, her first planet, destroyed as it is,and has a chance to build it anew
the survivors are few, and all distrustful, but they’ll allow her to work
she returns to the dirt she rose from, planting seeds, still seething hatred that all she’s done and she’s still ended up right back here
but then, weeks and weeks later, the first little sprout of a tree comes up from her seeds, and she feels something
it is not joy, or contentment, just simple growth and possibility. She can rise in a new way this time
Perhaps she can find her way to true justice, what she’s sought all along, her purpose that’s greater than the dirt she was born into
Perhaps it means she hasn’t repented at all, but she will try for a better world
