Start is the first subchapter of Chapter 6: Reflection in Celeste. The subchapter introduces a recurring mechanic for the rest of the game, being feathers (as well as their trapped feathers counterpart). Aside from that, the beginning and ending of the one and only room in the subchapter will have Madeline talk to Theo and Badeline respectively. At the end of her conversation with Badeline, Madeline is dragged down by Badeline's vines and flung to the bottom of the mountain and shattering crystals of other rooms along the way before arriving in the next subchapter.
Gameplay[]
Madeline carries Theo's body over to a campfire and they sit around it until nighttime when Theo wakes up. In the following cutscene, there are many sets of dialogue options for the player to choose between for both Madeline and Theo. They talk about both of their travels and life experiences and the player can decide which they talk about first or at all. Eventually, Madeline will choose to go to sleep and Theo will take a selfie of them both.
After this cutscene is a single large vertical room for gameplay where the player can test out the new golden feathers to fly up with. There's nothing in this subchapter which can cause Madeline to die. At the top of the room, Badeline will split from Madeline's body and Madeline will tell her how she doesn't need her anymore, causing Badeline to go into a fit of rage. Madeline tries to calm down by thinking of a feather and a minigame will play out like the one at the end of Chapter 4: Golden Ridge, however this time it doesn't work as Badeline slashes the feather in two. Badeline then drags Madeline to the bottom of the room and she's flung all the way down to the base of the mountain, which is the end of the subchapter.
