The towering mountain loomed majestically, its peak veiled in a swirling cloak of white clouds that defied the sun's embrace. Nil moved with the swiftness of a fleeting breeze, darting towards the mountain's edge as though he were a shard of ice cutting through the mist. With a flash of determination in his eyes, he turned towards Kao, his smile radiant and defiant.

"Stranger," he declared, "I shall never fall into your grasp."

In playful pursuit, Kao returned Nil's smile with one of his own, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

"Nillll," he called out teasingly, "you cannot escape me!"

Though Nil feigned indifference, his heart raced as he continued his sprint towards the edge of the hill. As he reached the precipice, he stole a glance back at Kao. Coming to a stop just before him, Kao's voice took on a husky edge as he issued a warning.

"I warned you, Nil," he said softly, "you cannot run from me."

Unmoved,  Nil met Kao's gaze with an enigmatic smile, taking  measured steps  backward

Unmoved, Nil met Kao's gaze with an enigmatic smile, taking measured steps backward. The smile on Kao's face faded. Alarmed, he extended his hand, pleading,

''Don't go back, Nil, you will fall.''

Silently smiling, Nil continued backward. Suddenly, Nil's chest emerged into the light, and his eyes underwent a transformative shift. Blood trickled from his mouth.

Seating himself on the ground, Nil lowered his head. In shock, Kao could only watch. After a brief moment, Nil raised his head, a small smile adorning his face. Extending his hand towards Kao, he began to crumble into ashes. Witnessing this, Kao cried out, racing towards Nil, his outstretched hand frozen in the air as Nil dissolved into the ethereal white cloud.

''Nillllll,'' Kao's anguished cry echoed through the mountain, tears falling as the ashes settled.
