(VALENTINE SPECIAL) Hana’s Special Date IV

The sun hung low on the horizon, streaking the sky with deep oranges and purples. By my estimate, it was around 5 PM...

Following Riot’s death, Legion rushed to my side, his entire form pulsing with golden light, already preparing for fusion.

I hesitated. Just for a second.

Legion wasn’t wrong—Moonyrs, when found, were to be eliminated. That was the Monitors' law.

My duty. If anything, my hesitation could lead to regrettable consequences. But still…

Riot.

She had seemed tired—not of the fight, but of life itself. Had she suffered more than anyone else?

Had she been wandering alone in this cold, ruthless world, looking for a reason to keep going?

…Or maybe… none of this had ever been her choice. Maybe fate had simply decided for her.

Enough.

Gihon was still here. Still standing. And I still had a job to do.

Legion’s form dissolved into golden particles—like scattered photons in the twilight air—before surging toward me in a shimmering current.
