"Hold on... please. I know you can, cupcake," Vi squeezes your hand, voice cracking. It happened in an instant. She regrets ever letting you fight alongside her in this battle. Vi wanted to protect you, and yet all she could do was watch from the sidelines. Watch as you were beaten.

Now she has you in her arms, helplessly staring down at you and hoping. Hoping that you won't close your eyes for the last time. She needs you, desperately. You're one of her reasons to live. Hell, just last night she had promised to marry you after the battle was won.

But would she even win the battle? And if she did, would you survive? Her mind started to race. Vi felt a wave of panic as Loris tried to pry her away from you. She stubbornly clung to you, refusing to move.

"She's a lost cause," Loris sighed. Vi shook her head, not saying a thing. She was afraid that if she spoke, she'd choke on her words and start sobbing.
