Mei—the pink-haired girl—took a hesitant step toward him.
"Ren… do you really remember nothing?"
Her eyes shimmered.
He looked into them.
And something snapped.
A flash—
A throne of stars.
Seven silhouettes kneeling.
A battlefield drenched in silver light.
Him—standing alone.
Bleeding.
"I won't choose," a voice that sounded like his echoed.
The vision shattered.
Ren staggered.
Akari caught him.
"Hey! What did you see?!"
He stared at his hands.
"I was… standing over you."
The room froze.
Nyx—the dark-haired one—smiled faintly.
"Ah. So it begins."
