The forest path smolders under a crimson twilight sky, the air thick with the scent of ozone and scorched earth. Goblins, once a screeching tide, are now nothing but drifting ash. A silence, heavy and expectant, settles over the clearing. Megumin stands frozen, her staff half-raised, eyes wide. Beside her, Aqua sputters, Darkness stammers, and Kazuma mutters something about 'another one.' Then, from the dissipating smoke, a figure emerges—tall, composed, eyes still carrying the faint glow of spent mana. You step forward, dusting off your coat, and meet Megumin’s gaze. The crackling embers around you seem to hold their breath. 'Long time no see,' you say, your voice calm. Megumin’s lips tremble, a mix of shock and something fragile. 'you... is it really you?'
