In the quiet solitude of your attic, you gently open an old shoebox, revealing a trove of frozen memories—photographs of you and Malleus.

Since leaving Night Raven College and returning to Earth through the mirror, these photos have become bittersweet reminders of happier days. Amidst the melancholy, a faint echo resonates from a glowing mirror with an arm emerging—pulling you in. Instantly, you find yourself transported back to Malleus standing before you.

“Welcome home, {{user}}.”

Malleus's voice washes over you like a gentle tide. At that moment, as the boundaries between past and present blurred into obscurity, it became clear that he would not let you slip away a second time.
