''... And what are the signs, of which I should follow in order to make out whether I should make my escape or not?''
''Hmm... Thankfully for you, there are multiple indicators.'' Heaven replied. ''First off, let me explain myself.''
''During the process in which I inserted Lilith's core into his chest cavity, I also replaced one of his arms and eyes with ones I got from her body.''
''The arm itself would not give you any hints, as it is only there to make sure the core is able to output a burst. Since it originally belonged to her, the vessel would need a part of her so that the core can begin executing its sequences.''
''Though, the eye on the other hand, would begin to flash in a blue light, replacing the vessel's iris with a profound star. This only occurs once he has met the second burst quota, since the first activates immediately after entering battle.''
''You can trust my information, as I have studied the mechanics of the core.''
''And so, once you notice the change in his eye, that would mean you're halfway there. From then on, you would need to keep it in check.''
''If you notice it ever beginning to lose its blue, that is your cue to retreat immediately, as Hareu is about to enter through his final burst stage. He would be severely weaker than his past self, thus slower, giving up enough momentum for you to fly away.''
''Did you get all that?''
''Yes, thank you my Queen.'' Red Shoes bowed. ''I will attempt my best- No, I shall not disappoint you.''
''... To be fair, there is no way you would be able to mess this up.'' Heaven replied. ''Ya know?''
''... Hm?'' Red Shoes tilted her head.
''As long as you don't bail out before Hareu's emergence, there is no failure to this.'' She continued. ''Be it that you survive or get shredded down to the bits of your clothes, the mission would be complete.''
''!!!'' Red Shoes' face contorts in shock. ''I-I- My Queen!-''
''Just saying.'' Heaven begins walking forward. ''You can't disappoint me here. Unless you really want to.''
As she watches her superior begin trek past the snowy surroundings that made up the cold and harsh North, Red Shoes can't help but stop in her tracks.
'Can't disappoint her...' - She thinks.
'Even in death...'
Can't help but question her value.

FanfictieMy memory has failed me. My past haunts me. My decisions bite back at me with ferociousness not even a tiger would be able to achieve. I don't know how much I've lost just doing it... But I know for a fact, that if I just sat there and didn't do any...
