Sophia looked at the silent Ed, her cold expression completely gone, replaced by helplessness and urgency.
She didn't know what Ed was thinking, nor did she understand why he would say he didn't want to be the savior, or didn't want to be a hero. All she knew was that if Ed truly refused, everything would be lost.
Just as Sophia was anxiously unsure of what to do, the figures of Finniel and Melissa appeared nearby, quickly approaching them.
The red moonlight shone down on them, and the necklace Finniel was wearing emitted a soft glow, warding off the red moonlight.
When Finniel saw that Melissa, without hesitation, was walking straight toward Ed despite the red moonlight, she was momentarily stunned. Then, she quickly ran over and took Melissa's hand.
At that moment, the gentle light from Finniel's necklace enveloped both her and Melissa.
