The three girls stepped out of the mall together. The rainbow glow still reflected off the shattered glass, but the heavy tension in the air was replaced by warmth and hope.
Noona laughed softly, thinking of the green curry waiting at Mintra's house. "This… is my power," she whispered to herself. A power so unique that even gods and demons from all three worlds could not touch it.
Irin looked at Noona with astonishment. "Noona… your power… what is it?"
Noona smiled gently. "A power that comes from the heart and love… my green curry. It's the one thing that can stand against all darkness."
Mintra breathed softly in awe. "It's… truly incredible."
The three girls walked through the evening sunlight. The imagined aroma of green curry around Noona felt like a protective aura, filling them with courage, hope, and stability… even as shadows and powerful enemies lurked nearby.
Mintra glanced sideways, her lips curving into a soft smile. "Strange, isn't it? Even after everything, being with you feels safe."
Noona tilted her head slightly, her rainbow-lit eyes dimming back to human warmth. "It's not strange. Safety isn't a place… it's people."
Irene's absence was heavy, but her memory walked with them—every laugh, every kindness now woven into their steps. The sunset painted the city in gold, yet the lengthening shadows whispered of trials to come.
For a fleeting moment, though, the three of them felt unbreakable.
