Walkthrough of the mission “The River Does Not Flow Back” in Honkai: Star Rail
How to start the quest
This quest starts automatically after completing the last mission of the chain called “All about the beauty.” After watching the cutscene with Jasper and Topaz negotiating with Oti, you will immediately be transported to the Rise and Shine bar, where you will again take control of the Pathfinder.
Talk to your Star Express comrades
Before approaching Siobhan, you can chat with your friends from the Star Express – this is optional and does not affect the ending of the quest, but it allows you to get more information. Next to the bar counter, to the right of the bartender, are Welt and Dan Heng. They will tell you about their dreams.
Then go to the stage where the members of the Nightmare Troupe are performing. There you will find March 7 – chat with her. She will tell you about receiving a gift from an unknown person. Eventually you will complete the optional task.
What drink to make with Siobhan
Approach the bmarnsha and enter into dialogue with her. You can ask her about Gallagher. Then say you are ready to make a cocktail. Then she will ask what flavor to make the drink – bitter or sweet. Note that this choice will determine the achievement given and the method of preparing the cocktail. Let's look at both options.

Bitter drink (All flowers fade)
You will need to make the Bitter Dreams cocktail. To do this, simply follow the instructions that will be displayed on the screen on the left side. If you make a mistake, you can repeat the process at any time.

Climb aboard the ship
After finishing preparing the cocktail, talk to Himeko on the phone, – she will invite you and the rest of the express members to the airship to participate in negotiations with the Family. Chat with Siobhan again and receive a cocktail from her, which she will ask you to give to Gallagher if you meet him.
