"I've searched everywhere but it seems like there is no escape pods left... I'm afraid there is no escape now... Maybe... Maybe if I went straight to her heart?"

21th of December, 2076.
As I started running through the hallways, I heard the sound of a bell ringing, twelve times, before realising it came from Yami's arm. I turned my head to her and realised she was talking with Nisshoku. I then realised the twelve ringing so
unds came from the Clock castle, telling that midnight had arrived. I smiled and looked back forward. Suddenly, the hallways vibrated, rotated, turned in all kind of directions. And a voice echoed through the hallways.
"Where are you going?"
I held tightly onto Yami's hand, trying not to fall over from all the vibrating and turning. I noticed she stopped talking with Nisshoku and was looking at me while screaming something but I couldn't hear her voice.
"Are you thinking of leaving? You're not going to leave me already, my dear Daughter, right? We just reunited, it'd be a shame..."
Yami gave a cold glare at one of the cameras projecting a yellow light on us and the wall as the hallway laughed.
"Why don't you stay here with me? You could be a Queen, like your Sister. Isn't it funny how your only friend is the father of one of your Sisters?"
-"...What the hell are you even talking about?!" Yami yelled out.
-"Oh? Hasn't he told you? Your dear Lance is the father of Nisshoku, you know. He even had a conversation with your dear father earlier, I'm sure he hasn't told you this either, has he?"
-"...You... You really talked to him...?" Yami said, turning her head to me.
The walls suddenly stopped vibrating as GLaIVE-...No, Caroline, laughed.
-"...I did." I answered.
-"What did he tell you? Please, I need to know." Yami asked as she held onto my arm, almost desperately.
-"...He... Told me that I was one of the scientists that worked on Project Nova... That I was... Sent back to my time during the incident... Also... He showed me GLaIVE's heart... And your mother."
-"...My mother?"
Yami looked around.
"But my Mother is GLaIVE herself, isn't she?"
-"...Not quite..."
-"...What do you mean?"
-"...Her name is Caroline."
-"...Huh?"
-"...You'll get what I mean later."
I grabbed her hand and started running again. The walls started to vibrate again. A bit of the ceiling collapsed and nearly crushed us.
"You have no idea where my heart is! How are you even going to reach me?" GLaRE yelled out, followed by a bloodcurdling laughter.
-"...I'll find it, one way or another, I know I will."
-"I'd love to see you two try!" GLaRE laughed.
The floor under our feet started to collapse too, falling in darkness and crashing down below with a loud and dull sound. The ceiling and walls were also collapsing, trying to crush us or force us into the holes in the ground.
