Velmora couldn't move.Her body felt as if it were being pulled by something unseen, while Lilith's distant gaze pressed tighter and tighter against her chest. Her heart pounded—not out of fear, but something far deeper.Something that made her want to cry… yet also scream.But her body offered no resistance. It floated closer and closer toward Lilith.And when only a few steps remained, Lilith opened her arms—like a mother welcoming her child home.Tears spilled from Velmora's eyes before she even realized it, and in the next breath… she collapsed into Lilith's embrace.
"My child," Lilith whispered softly, her voice echoing directly into Velmora's soul. "Stop fighting the pain between pride and disgrace."
Velmora's body trembled violently. Her lips parted, but no sound came out. Her chest was tight. Those words struck like a whip… and yet, they also embraced her like warmth.
