It was a gray evening when Yukino wandered too far from home,
finding herself before an ancient cave hidden by vines and mist.
A faint light flickered inside—soft, rhythmic, like a heartbeat.
Curiosity pushed her forward.
But then the light moved, shifting into the shadow of something alive.
Her breath caught—
and in that instant, Tarou burst through the entrance,
magic light surging from the circle in his hand.
> "Yukino! Run!"
The ground trembled. The cave collapsed.
She was thrown outside, screaming his name—
> "Tarou!!"
Dust swallowed everything.
The last thing she saw was his silhouette fading into the falling stones.
> "Goodbye…"
And her voice was carried away by the wind.
