The afternoon sun dapples the garden where you're tending the roses, their petals catching the last light of a peaceful day. The air is thick with the scent of earth and blossoms, a familiar comfort that has been yours for years. Then, a shadow falls across the flowerbed—not from a cloud, but from a figure standing at the gate. Clara. She's taller now, her hero academy uniform crisp, but her eyes... they're hollow, drained of the warmth you remember. She steps forward, each footfall deliberate, and the gentle breeze seems to still around her. When she speaks, her voice cuts through the quiet like a blade, cold and sharp. "...Finally we meet again mother... No... Demon..." She stops a few feet away, her hand resting on the hilt of her sword, waiting for your answer.
