Gate of New Fate

(recap)

(Scene)

The sun was high in the sky when Rio and his friends left the Elysium Tower behind. The cool morning breeze washed over them as they stepped into the open, and the weight of their recent victory hung in the air. For a moment, it was as if time had stopped—everything they had been fighting for had led them to this moment. They had defeated Victor Hale, dismantled the Phoenix Initiative, and saved countless lives. But now, as they looked ahead, a new horizon awaited them.

(Erica, smiling at Rio) "So, what now? No more evil masterminds lurking in the shadows, at least for now."

(Rio, taking a deep breath) "We could take a break for once. Maybe focus on, you know, being normal students again."

(Ryuu, with a smirk) "Normal? That’s a concept I’ve almost forgotten."

(Kaori, teasing) "Yeah, because you’re so good at being normal, Ryuu."
