You approach Kolevax's door, your footsteps echoing in the stillness of the dawn. You knock firmly, taking a step back to wait patiently for his response. As you gaze out into the distance, the sun slowly rises, casting a warm glow over the landscape. The sky transforms into a palette of pinks, oranges, and purples, signaling a new day's arrival.

The door opens, and you meet Kolevax's eyes, his gaze piercing and intense. "Did you bring them?" he asks, his voice low and urgent, inviting you inside. You nod, feeling a sense of relief wash over you now that you've finally arrived.

You enter, your footsteps echoing off the wooden floorboards. The room is simply furnished, with a small fire crackling in the hearth, casting a warm glow. The scent of wood smoke and herbs fills the air.

He's clearly been up all night watching over Kuromuka.

You walk over to the sturdy wooden table, your bag slung over your shoulder. You set it down, unfastening the leather straps. Reaching inside, you extract the precious bottles of medicine, their glass surfaces glinting.

Kolevax steps closer, his eyes fixed on the bottles as if mesmerized. "Ah, thank the gods." he mutters, his voice filled with relief. "Thank you."

You hand him the bottles. Kolevax takes them carefully, his fingers tracing the intricate labels as if l

He walks away into the hallway and disappears into his bedroom. After a few moments, he returns, his eyes filled with emotion. "You saved her," he mutters, his voice barely above a whisper.

"I'm just glad I could help." you respond, nodding firmly. "I have some news." you continue. "I found my family at the plantation, and they're heading to stay with someone. I'll be joining them and I don't know when I'll come back."

He chuckles, a warm smile spreading across his face. "You GraceField kids are something else," he says. "I'm glad you found your family."

You express your gratitude by bowing your head. "Thank you for everything," you say sincerely. You pick up your bag and walk out the door, passing by Max and Steve as you make your way out of town.

As the three of you walk out of the forest, you wince as you feel a sharp pain in your head.

"Damn it..." you curse under your breath, your forehead creased in discomfort.

Steven rushes over to your side, his hands gentle on your shoulders. "Y/n, are you okay?" he asks, concern etched in his voice. You try to shrug off the pain, but it's hard to hide the discomfort. "I'm fine... just really exhausted." you murmur, your eyes still closed.

The pain persists, throbbing in your temples like a drumbeat. You feel lightheaded, as if the room is spinning around you. Your breathing quickens, and your heart races in your chest. You try to focus on Steven's voice, but it's like trying to hear him through a foggy haze.

The last thing you hear before blacking out is Steven calling your name, his voice growing fainter as the darkness closes in. Your body sways, and you feel yourself falling, but you can't muster the strength to catch yourself. Everything goes dark, and you succumb to the overwhelming fatigue.
