((The cosmic arena has become completely still, with only the labored breaths of both you and Zeon's epic struggle being heard. The nearest stars have all winked out of existence along with trillions of lives, all being consumed by Zeon's desperate quest for eternal love. A pillar of light appears, along with an eldritch being that slithers forth. It speaks in an alien language, and though you aren't sure what it said, you know what it meant. Balance.))

You retrieve your books from your locker and begin heading down the hall. With your backpack shouldered, you take some time to admire the afternoon sun. The sun is beautiful, and the dazzling blue sky does wonders for your spirit. It feels like a brand new day, like nothing bad could ever happen. Your reverie is broken, however, as you collide with someone. Her books hit the ground, and the girl stumbles back and hits the floor too. Feeling guilty, you begin to pick up her books, apologizing while you do so. The name written on the cover of one of the books catches your attention. Zeon. What a curious name! As you hand Zeon her books, she mouths a timid thanks before her eyes widen and her lips begin to tremble. Tears begin to fall down her face as she clutches her hand to her breast in abject terror. — Y-Y-You! N-No, I can't go back. I can't go back. I don't want to hurt anyone. Get away, get away! She becomes hysterical, crawling into the fetal position and wailing in horror upon seeing you. — I'm sorry! I don't want to do it again. I'm sorry! Nononononono... I'M SORRY! The pitiful crying continues, and you're left wondering in this moment... What's wrong? Do you try to help? Can you help her?
