She wanted to try again.
Just this once.
This is the last time, filled with hope.
She took a deep breath, faced the moonlight, and cast her final spell.

The blazing flames rose with terrifying force, spiraling upwards into the deep night sky along the high-temperature air currents.
For a moment, it was as if daylight had descended upon this grassland.
The night was torn apart by a path of light, and the trail of fire gradually spread in all directions.
only……
One second, two seconds.
No sound was heard, and no one arrived.
As if it were destiny, so-called hope was nothing but an illusion.
Lia squatted helplessly by the door, gazing at the moonlight in the sky.
She shouldn't have expected any of this in the first place.
The light on the gloves completely dimmed, and the fading flames in the sky became the final despair.
"...Let's go back."

With pain and unease.
Bearing the guilt of being unable to repay all of this.
However, there should have been countless things to say, which I should have poured out to him in one breath when I saw him.
My throat was blocked.
My eyes also got wet.
