Unravelling

The luminous trail of stardust left behind by Ryousuke's departure slowly disperses, becoming one with the celestial energies that course through the corridor.

After a moment, Airi lifts her tear-streaked face, her eyes filled with a mixture of sorrow and determination. She turns to me, her voice steady. "We must continue on. We have to find someone who might help us find out about the origins of this arrow."

"Look no further." A voice resonates like the warm caress of sunlight addresses us. I grit my teeth, I'm getting tired of some divine creatures always approaching us from nowhere. It's exhausting and having to deal with the grief of Ryousuke and the new turn of events is already enough. However, I try to remain composed, this is not the right time, nor the right place to let my emotions take over.
