"P-Please come back one day! I will wait for you for eternity!"
Seleneum had become utterly captivated by Maria.
When Maria opened her eyes, everything truly had been part of a mindscape, just as Seleneum had said.
"Ugh... my head..."
The intensity of those sensations still left her with a throbbing headache.
After sharing a joyful feast with her family, she decided to depart quickly.
Especially because Seleneum kept sending waves of pink light toward her.
"H-Hurry! Let's go!" Maria urged, more anxious than usual, stepping through the portal while hearing Seleneum one final time.
"Take care, Maria! I hope the Relic proves helpful! If you ever wish to experience this again, come back! I will gladly embrace you."
"I'm good, thanks."
"What was that?"
Lucifer glanced at Maria in confusion, but she pretended she had said nothing.
FLASH!
They pierced through the dimensional membranes. Maria sighed in relief, tinged with the faintest regret.
