Arete. Go.

She heard that voice again. She gave up on resisting the underworld creatures because except for being cornered, the sea of ​​fire absorbed her strength.

She noticed black substances starting to crawl to her body, "Shit... I won the fights earlier. I just let my guard down because I saw my dad. I should get rid of my weaknesses. It's holding me back."

Some of the revenants are trying to pull her soul out of her body. It's like the light under the ceiling, she keeps on being alive and dead.

My tears were overflowing every time I suffered,

I don't have any will to live,

Just let me be in this endless cycle,

No. Save me. I still want to live.


I didn't hide my pain behind a smile and a mask,

But why do I feel heavier than yesterday?

Did I lose my place in my own world?

Or did I let it happen because it doesn't matter anymore?

Since being born in this world I want a thing called freedom,

Terrified by my past, I want to break into million pieces,

Struck and destroy my heart,

And I'll express my gratitude towards you.


My tears were overflowing every time I suffered,

I don't have any will to live,

Just let me be in this endless cycle,

No. Save me. I still want to live.

She closes her eyes as she's accepting her fate. She can feel her muscles and every organ being taken away. A throbbing pain in her brain is slowly disappearing. Maybe, this is the end.

Arete, don't sleep eternally.

'Who's there? I'm... Tired.'

She's careless and forgot Han's lessons and Death's warning when,
