Leon Stephanotis and the First Star (リオン・ステファノティスと一番星, Rio Sutefanotisu to Ichiban Hoshi^?) is a short story given out to theatergoers during the screening of Violet Evergarden Gaiden: Eternity and the Auto Memories Doll. It was included in the short story collection, Violet Evergarden ~Last Letter~.

Summary

The story takes place years after Violet and Leon watched the comet together. Leon, now a member of the literature collecting department of the Shaher Astronomical Headquarters, is given a vacation after their latest expedition in the desert. A junior invites him to his family's villa, but Leon turns him down. The junior then tells him that if he ever wants to see him, he can visit a hotel in Leidenschaftlich that is owned by his uncle and he'll come pick him up. Leon's interest is piqued at the mention of that city, where the CH Postal Company is located. Leon thinks about Violet, but is afraid to go see her because he fears that she won't remember him.

Leon checks into a hotel and decides to go outside to see the night sky. Leon's telescope attracts attention and soon everyone wants to try using it. Leon lets everyone use it for free. He eventually catches sight of a veiled woman, who turns out to be Violet. Violet still remembered his name and the promise she made to him to memorize the names of a few stars. Leon realizes that Violet has found the one she loves, but suppressed the pain and asks her to spend some time with him. He confesses his love for her and asks her to forgive him.
