Lilliane returned.
Aira's half-sister.
But she wasn't alone.
She had joined Noctis.
"You stole everything from me," Lilliane hissed.
Dark star fragments surrounded her.
She attacked Aira publicly during academy reconstruction.
Students watched in horror.
The sisters clashed—
Fire vs Crimson petals.
Magic shook the sky.
But during the battle—
Aira discovered something terrifying.
Noctis was absorbing their energy from afar.
They were both being used.
And Lilliane didn't know.
