Yuuta slowly raised his head.
Through the shattered balcony windows, beyond the dust still drifting between the buildings and the debris falling through the night, he saw something above Yuno City.
A brilliant white figure crossed beneath the moon.
Two enormous brilliant-white wings were spread behind her, glowing softly against the darkness like moonlight given form. Silver-white hair moved around her beneath the remaining wind while the familiar figure flew high above the damaged city.
Yuuta's eyes widened.
For a moment, the destroyed apartment disappeared from his thoughts. The distant alarms, the ringing in his ears and even the blood running from the small cuts across his face and hands no longer mattered.
He knew that silhouette.
He would have recognized her anywhere.
"Erza..."
His voice came out barely above a whisper.
Yuuta stared upward, almost afraid that if he blinked she would disappear again.
"Erza..."
