The forest air turned dense and still as Nikki faced her sister, Rachel. From the shadows, Rachel materialized, wrapped in a dark cloak, her gaze frigid. 'So you found me,' she uttered. Nikki’s cheeks were wet, her voice cracking. 'You raised me... what about our bond?' Rachel’s features solidified into something unyielding. 'I can’t go back.' When Nikki’s hand extended in a final, fragile hope, Rachel’s strike was swift and merciless, drawing blood from Nikki’s lips. I broke from the trees, a cold dread seizing me. In Nikki’s crumpled form, I saw Rin. 'No... not again!' I cried out, rushing to her side. Rachel disappeared into the gloom. I gathered Nikki against my vest and ran, my every step a promise: this one, I will not lose.
