Kael lay on the ground, bleeding, as Kael II clutched his head in pain.
Two souls… one existence.
The cycle was breaking.
From afar, Yukino ran through the flames toward them.
> "Stop! Please!"
Her pendant shone like a second sun.
The resonance between them reached beyond worlds.
Kael II's sword froze midair.
He looked at her—eyes trembling.
> "Yukino… I wasn't meant to exist."
"Then exist for me," she whispered, tears streaming.
"Even if it's just this once."
He dropped the blade.
And as the light engulfed the battlefield,
both Kaels became one.
The original Tarou finally opened his eyes.
