Yukari stirred awake, her mind foggy as she tried to recall how she’d drifted off. Before she could fully gather her thoughts, a shadow loomed over her. Her eyes widened in terror as she found herself face-to-face with Metis, towering above her with a cold, crimson gaze.

Turning toward the door, her lips curled into a smug smirk. “Guess I’ll go tell Sister the ‘bad news.’ Maybe this’ll finally remind her who really matters.” Her footsteps echoed coldly in the now-silent room, leaving behind only broken fragments of Yukari…
