“Remember when you fell down this staircase last time? Let’s see… what you’ll do when it happens again.” Freya was not a fool and would not fall for the same trick twice. The moment Ifrit seized her wrist, she grabbed on firmly to the railing to hold herself steady. Ifrit was caught off guard by this and ended up tumbling down the stairs instead. The railing was carved with intricate flower motifs with thorny ends that tore her skin and clothes. She felt a wave of pain sweep through her, followed by the disgrace of having been outmaneuvered.

Even from a distance, he saw it: the quiet determination in the way she smiled at the receptionist, the way her eyes scanned the building like she was memorizing her future. She wasn’t just surviving anymore. She was blooming. And he was still a ghost on the outside of her story. He slid his phone from his coat pocket, hesitating before opening a private secure thread labeled simply: LB. Typing always felt too easy. But still, he wrote. Some things are too sacred to rush.

[We didn't raise you without our own interests in mind — but rest assured, we took a lot of thought choosing your fiance. He's more than good enough. You can marry him with a peace of mind.]

The easy peace of the morning was already receding, replaced by practiced readiness. I summoned the book from my dimensional storage, the cool, familiar leather a welcome weight in my palm. Flipping it open to the page on the Moonless Blossom, I studied the illustration again, committing the delicate, silver-blue petals and the unique, jagged serration of its leaves to memory. A moment later, I felt the solid warmth of him seep through my tunic as he leaned over my shoulder. "I’m sure we’ll find it," he said, his voice still holding a comfortable trace of sleep.

"If the Veil falls completely..." "There will be no Four Kingdoms." "There will only be darkness." --- After the meeting ended, I wandered into the academy gardens. The roses had begun to wither. Even the enchanted flowers cultivated by generations of witches were losing their color. I knelt beside one dying blossom. The moment my fingers touched it... Golden light spread from my hand. The flower slowly bloomed again. Fresh petals unfurled beneath the sunlight. I smiled softly. "The Celestial Flame..." "It restores life."

Aunt Linda pushed forward, unlocked her phone, and brought up the trending news: [Rapist Dies in Court], holding it up to Mom. “Rebecca, isn’t this exactly what you wanted? You wanted to know what happened? Look carefully at this news, and see who the person named is! “And look at this cremation report—whose name is on it? How dare you blame Charlotte? How dare you shift the blame onto her? “Do you even have a shred of shame?

(～￣▽￣)～ After a momentary pause, Maery sat up, opened up her light screen to a new drama she had recently started watching, and put her wireless earbuds in. One ate slowly while scrolling through some documents, the other ate equally as slowly while watching a drama based on a popular BL novel. Besides the sound of eating, the room was perfectly silent.

Namio watched him for a moment longer before quickly leaving. Inside Cyber Island, Hana was observing the rhythm of movement of the purple flowers in front of her. She had only entered here for 2 minutes, and they had attacked her in unison. They seemed to have a hunch and could guess Hana's direction.
