Leian:
Whaa?

Ba…
Baby…
My baby…
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkOgILxLoL
Nyx:
That voice… it’s warm… What’s happening? Can I finally hear?
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUpyPhMLF2
Mommy is sorry for this, but this is for your own good. (sobbing)
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSroNqPNh9
Nyx:
Mommy? Wait—why is everything blurry? And what… tiny hands?! Am I dreaming?!
Nyx, my baby… I’m sorry.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLXbVaogO6
Nyx:
Why are you sorry? You didn’t do anything… so please don’t cry…
(She reaches out with her tiny hands to her mother’s cheeks.)
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA88nZzTmL
(She smiles as tears rush down her eyes and kisses her daughter’s forehead.)
Mommy loves you so much, my little light.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1HOoWARCT
Nyx:
Why is this woman crying?
(She looks around.)
And this place… wow. If this is heaven, then I wish to never reincarnate if reincarnation even exists. The world seems so cruel to people who choose to live the life they wish to have.

(crying)
Please forgive Mommy. I promise I’ll come back for you.
(She kisses her daughter’s cheeks.)

The mother then stared at her daughter as she tapped her finger against her chest. A small mark appeared A slender black blade stands upright, wrapped by a dark crescent moon. A serpent-like curve coils along its length, surrounded by faint, drifting lines like lingering energy.

Nyx:
Huh? What…? Why can’t I hear anything? Why—
No… please don’t…
(She starts crying.)
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25C9XCUU9G
The mother said something Nyx couldn’t understand. Suddenly, her vision blurred, and she lost consciousness.

Weeks later, Nyx sits beside her window, staring at the back of the palace.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZQMzpbEBf
Nyx:
(sitting by the broken window)
So that place is the palace… it looks so close, yet so far.
(Her small, frail body no older than five rests against the cold stone floor of the abandoned castle. Dust clings to her thin clothes as the wind slips through cracked walls.)
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjXPuCg31O
Nyx:
I’m here… but I don’t belong there.
(From the distance, voices echo soft, cruel whispers carried by the wind.)

Maid 1:
That cursed child again… why is she still alive?
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08ANJB91Ry
Maid 2:
Because the Queen pitied her. But pity doesn’t change the truth.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj90LYmB7f
Maid 1:
She’s cursed. Born unable to hear what else could that be but divine punishment?
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT3oV11t0C
Maid 2:
Exactly. Deaf children bring misfortune. That’s why she was hidden away.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3o5Bwhv1M
(Nyx watches their lips move. She cannot hear them, but she understands every word.)
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmHmYheizn
Nyx:
Cursed…
So that’s what I am to them.
(Her fingers clutch the fabric of her dress, trembling.)
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqTc5fI2MR
Nyx:
If being unable to hear is a curse… then why does it hurt more to understand?
(She lowers her gaze, the mark on her chest faintly pulsing beneath her skin, unseen.)
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzfMDzvGPy
Nyx:
Mommy… you said you’d come back.
(The palace lights glow warmly in the distance, while the abandoned castle remains cold and silent.)
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG8IgunTAS
Nyx:
I’ll wait… even if waiting is all I’m allowed to do.
