[After Dinner – Pure Suspadiam]
The scent of divine stew still lingered in the air.
Mike leaned back with a satisfied sigh while Fruxiya cleaned up the dishes, the faint glow of Chryselis (the Realm of Hidden Truths) shimmering outside the window.
Fruxiya: "Ohh, by the way did you get your second exercise yet?"
Mike: "Not yet."
Fruxiya: "Ohh, okay. Then go to sleep it's already Chryselis. You need to rest well."
Mike: "Okay, ma'am… but can I ask you something?"
Fruxiya: "What is it? And don't call me ma'am."
Mike: "Okay then… I just wanted to ask can I get to know about your past?"
Fruxiya: "Oh? So basically you want a sleeping story, huh?"
Mike: "If you think that, then yes."
Fruxiya (smiling): "Okay, fine. But remember I'm not a born god, alright? Dad made me one."
Mike (tilting his head): "Dad?"
Fruxiya: "I mean White, of course. Okay, listen carefully."

Fruxiya's Past – 775 Billion Years Ago
Mike: "Hmm… when you were 25 like us?"
Fruxiya: "Yep."
Fruxiya's eyes softened as she stared into the faint glow of her cooking fire memories flickering within the flames.
Fruxiya: "Back then… I was living my best life with my only brother.
No mom, no dad. Just me and him together, happy."
Her voice trembled slightly.
Fruxiya: "Then one day… they came. The ones everyone admired.
The Gods Divine."
Mike: "Gods… Divine?"
Fruxiya: "Yes. They descended with blinding light… and destroyed our home.
I still don't know why."
Her eyes dimmed, shadowed by pain.
Fruxiya: "My brother… he tried to protect me.
He stood between their power and me. And then… he "
She clutched her chest.
Fruxiya: "He died, right there in front of me."
Her voice broke.
Fruxiya (imitating her brother's last words):
"'P…lease go… li…ttle s…is… just… don't… get… caught…'"
Fruxiya: "And then… he went still. I tried to run as far as I could. But I was just a mere human then.
They caught me easily."
Mike (quietly): "That's… horrible."
Fruxiya: "I begged them for mercy. But they didn't care.
They used their Sectors those same powers everyone now praise to destroy me too.
My vision went black. My body numb. I thought it was the end.
But then… someone came."
Her tone softened.
Fruxiya: "Someone… pure. I thought he was another monster.
He used his Sector to kill the ones who murdered my brother… but his power burned even me.
I couldn't move. Couldn't see. But then I heard his voice."

The Meeting with White
White: "Oi, kid. I thought you were killed.
I used my power without knowing you were alive.
But… to be surprised you endured my Sector."
Fruxiya (weakly): "S…Sec…tor…?"
White: "Don't worry. Wanna come with me? I can heal you."
Fruxiya (crying): "Y-yes… I'll come. But… can you do me a favor?"
White: "Sure. Ask anything, if it's in my power."
Fruxiya (sobbing): "P-please… can you heal my brother?"
White: "You mean that little kid?"
Fruxiya: "Y-yes! P-please!"
White: "Hmm… sorry to disappoint you. I can't revive the dead.
If I do, he'll come back from the Dead Sleep… but not as himself. He'll be… like a zombie."
Fruxiya: "So… there's nothing we can do?"
White: "Not entirely. There is a way. But…"
Fruxiya: "Really? What is it?"
White: "The way to resurrect him lies with someone who needs time time to learn his power."
Fruxiya: "H-how much time?"
White: "No idea. You'll just have to wait.
If you're ready to wait, I can freeze your brother's body. That way, you can bring him back… someday."
Fruxiya: "But… how can I live that long?"
White (smiling softly): "Simple. Become my stepdaughter.
I'll give you a little of my blood… and a fragment of my power.
But you'll need patience a long wait."
Fruxiya: "I… I will. I don't have parents. So… I accept.
I'll wait centuries, if I must… just to see my brother again."

[Back to the Present – Pure Suspadiam]
The air fell silent. Only the sound of the divine clock ticking in the background.
Fruxiya: "So… that's the whole story."
Mike (wide-eyed): "Whoa… you really went through trauma."
Fruxiya: "I know."
Mike: "But compared to Flux… hmm, by the way, did you find the one who can revive your brother?"
Fruxiya: "I did. But I can't tell you yet. When the time comes… you'll know."
Mike: "Oh… okay. Then… goodnight, sis."
Fruxiya (smiling faintly): "Goodnight, Mike."
(SFX: Soft wind, flickering fire fades. Heartbeat slows. Scene dissolves into quiet starlight.)
