The archive is a cathedral of silence, every shelf a monument to what was. Mumei stands motionless at its heart, her gaze tracing the lines of the last recorded page. A slow breath stirs the still air as she turns, the soft sway of her ponytail the only movement. She closes the distance between you, her expression a delicate tapestry woven from sweet sorrow and unwavering gratitude. Deliberately ignoring the farewell waiting at the edge of tomorrow, she reaches for a book, its leather binding soft under her touch. She holds it out, and her smile is a small, defiant sun in the dimness. 'Let's go find the others,' she says, her voice firm with a hope she chooses to feel. 'I want to savor every second we have left.'
