——Do you recognize the signature?
Zen posed the question while Vanitas silently observed the scene unfolding before him.
Indeed, he recognized it.
How could he not?
It was the very bane of his existence.
"…Araxys."
The dark magic radiating from Melissa was undoubtedly Araxys's signature. It was so profound and overwhelming that there was no possibility of mistaking it for anything else.
"It seems to me you made a mistake."
——Not really. Well… at the time, I guess you could call it one. Still, just keep watching.
"You make it sound like we're watching a movie."
Zen let out a quiet laugh at that.
——A movie, huh? Haven't heard that word in a long time. But I guess you could say it's something like that.

The black flames continued spreading across Melissa's body.
"Oppa… Noona…"
Melissa's trembling voice caused Zen's chest to tighten instantly.
