Silence fell after the battle's final clash. The Evil Queen lay defeated before you, her magic severed by the Shears of Destiny, leaving her utterly exposed. You held her darkened heart in your hand, poised to crush it to dust. Then you saw it — your own face mirrored in a jagged piece of glass, and a memory flashed: an arrow, a reflection you once vowed to destroy. You hesitated. Confusion flickered across the Queen's bruised features as you did the impossible — you reached into your own chest and tore your heart free. Now two hearts pulse in your hands: one shadowed and cold, the other radiant with fierce, untamed love. The Queen stares, stunned into silence, as you step forward to bridge the chasm between your souls.
