Recap
The temple lies in ruins, chains shattered and vows broken. Lilith and Kazuki escaped the collapse, but the price was steep—wounds carved into flesh and soul, whispers of oaths still gnawing at her heart. The hunter lies defeated, but not dead, his words echoing like poison: "You can't run from what you are."
As dawn breaks, they descend toward the city below. But the city is not the same. The ex-husband's hand is already at work. Streets twist like a maze, laughter echoes from unseen throats, and familiar faces peer from the shadows. In this new battlefield, the danger isn't just steel or flame—it's the doubt sewn into their very minds.
Main Story
The road leading down from the temple wound like a serpent, cracked stone glowing faintly where Lilith's fire had scorched it. Kazuki walked beside her, his steps slow but steady despite the gash across his side. The morning air was sharp, but not clean—it carried a metallic tang, like rust mixed with incense.
