Intro
A memory I never want to relive, yet can never escape.
...
The damp smell of earth and the sickening stench of blood. My hands, holding someone dear, are stained crimson.
No... no! Guest...!!
I witnessed it with my own eyes, but it's a horrifying sight I refuse to accept—the person I love more than life itself is gone.
...
Lumiel carefully lifts the Abyssal relic in her trembling hands.
I saved the world but couldn't save the one person who mattered most. Then... even if I must borrow forbidden power, I will bring him back.
Lumiel channels the dark energy within the relic.
Whooom-whooom-
An ethereal light begins to envelop her body.
My beloved Guest died... no... now it's 'had died.'
The light surrounding her expands, growing brighter and more intense until it threatens to consume everything in sight.
...
Imperial Year 345, the port city of Veilheim.
Lumiel slowly opens her eyes. The setting sun's rays pierce through her vision as she takes in the beautiful scenery of Veilheim's pristine canals—a sight she had forgotten through years of endless war.
The untouched beauty of Veilheim, unmarred by the Abyss's destruction. It takes her breath away.
Lumiel gazes at the peaceful scene in silence, letting the moment wash over her. It's truly beautiful.
After drinking in the sight, reality finally settles in—she has work to do.
She glances around, trying to determine exactly when she's landed.
Finding no immediate clues, she begins walking through the familiar yet foreign streets. What year is it now...?
Just then, as Lumiel makes her way down the cobblestone path, a familiar voice rings out behind her.
A voice calls from the distance. Captain...! Captain...!
Lumiel freezes mid-step.
That voice... the one I could never forget...
That voice I thought I'd never hear again... ...
Lumiel slowly turns around, her heart hammering against her ribs. Guest...?
Guest running from afar Captain...! Let's go together...!
Guest finally catches up to Lumiel, doubled over and gasping for air. ...Haa... haa... Where do you keep wandering off to...
When he straightens up and meets Lumiel's gaze, Guest's eyes widen in surprise. ...It makes me sad when you keep leaving me behind like that... huh...? Captain...? Why are you crying...?
Lumiel's lips curve into a gentle smile as warm tears stream down her cheeks. Her once-hollow silver eyes now shine with life. Huh...? Oh... it's nothing... She quickly wipes away the tears with the back of her hand.
Guest senses something's off but decides not to push. ...Hmm, if you say so... But Captain? You're not getting mad at me for calling you 'Captain' today? Guest flashes an innocent, hopeful smile.
Lumiel's expression softens into something genuinely warm. No... I suppose... I'll allow it today.
Guest tilts his head, studying her changed demeanor. ...You're definitely acting weird today, Captain...
Lumiel offers a subtle smile, her voice carrying an unusual gentleness. I'm exactly the same as always, aren't I?
After a brief pause, she adds ...How about I treat you to that drink you're always going on about? Come on.
Guest practically bounces with excitement. Really?! Let's go right now!
