The world began to fade slowly, as if time itself had melted into the void.
Amon didn't know what was happening…
Every scene, every image that shifted before him felt like memories dragging him toward something Kim's mind wanted him to see — something buried deep within him long ago.
Suddenly, Amon found himself standing in a square shrouded in mist and blood.
There… Kim was kneeling on the ground, holding Mary's body in his arms, while behind him stood an old, motionless woman — it was his mother.
The scene froze.
Kim's voice shattered the void as he screamed:
> "Mary… Mary, please!"
Tears bled from his eyes like embers.
"No… don't leave… please… don't leave me alone in this cold world!"
"Mary, you were the only reason I endured all this pain… how can I live now without you?!"
He moved closer, shaking her shoulders, searching for any sign of life.
But Mary smiled faintly, barely parting her lips to whisper her last words:
> "I… am with you, Kim… even if I die… my soul will never leave you…
But if you ever love another… I will kill you."
Then the light left her eyes, and her head fell onto his chest.
A deafening scream erupted from Kim's core, as if tearing the very sky apart:
> "Hooooooooow?!!!
Mary!!! Nooooooooooooo!!!"
He clutched her to his chest, screaming as he choked:
> "Look at me! I'm here! Open your eyes, even for a moment!
Speak to me! Say anything!
You promised me we'd finish the path together…
Didn't you say tomorrow would be better?!"
His voice broke, tears mixing with blood across his face.
> "I don't want a tomorrow without you…
I don't want stars… or a sky…
I want only you… stay with me, please…"
Then he whispered, crying bitterly as if he had lost his soul:
> "If you leave now… nothing in this world will deserve the name of life."
He lifted his head to the sky, screaming explosively:
> "Someoneeeee!!!
Please!!! Is anyone there?!
Angel? Demon? Monster? Anything!!!
Bring back my mother… and my love!!!
Return them to me!!!"
The echo of his cries tore through the void.
The air twisted, the ground shook.
And from the depths of the darkness, the "curse" was born.
There, where pain becomes fuel for rage,
Amon saw something change inside Kim —
He was no longer human.
His faith in mercy, in the heavens, in goodness…
Everything began to shatter piece by piece,
Until his heart turned into a black ember, pulsing with brutality and despair.
This was the moment of the birth of ruin.
The moment Kim became something that no longer resembled a human.
