Execution platform.
Crowds silent.
Lyra crying but defiant.
Aeris looks at the sky.
The crack spreads violently.
Lightning splits the clouds.
The ground trembles.
Aeris steps forward.
"I didn't ask to be your salvation."
His wings expand fully—
Larger than ever before.
The execution blade falls—
But freezes mid-air.
The sky shatters like glass.
And something begins to descend.
Final panel:
A colossal shadowed shape breaking through.
