...While sleeping soundly under a moonlit night, Hier found herself in a dream... A scene before her appears to be that of the past, a man who loved to draw and a woman who sat next to him admiring each stroke of his brush which gently carressed the canvas. The canvas beholds a scene captured from the man's eyes, forged deep into his memory and finally given physical shape in the form of a marvelous painting...

Man: "Come on, I can't color it properly with you sticking so close."

Woman: "Oh you can do it with your eyes closed it's fine."

Man: "Sure but with you leaning over me like that it's kinda hard to move y'know."

Woman: "Really? Hmm... Am I distracting you perhaps?"

Man: "N-No... It's just you smell good and all, like the scent of a blooming flower and...uhh...haa... yeah I suck at making excuses..."

Woman: "Ahahaha~ You never were good at it honestly~"

...Playfully, the man and woman engage in conversation, about their daily lives, about themselves, about the painting, it was a scene that you would see any other day. Couples going on dates, relaxing on off days, sharing a moment together in peace and harmony...

Woman: "Hey, are you almost done?"

Man: "Yeah, just a few more finishing touches."

Woman: "Hehe~ You've gotten alot better huh."

Man: "I had a great teacher, thanks by the way, for everything."

Woman: "Well, I couldn't really leave you be, everytime I worked on something you were always there wanting to do it as well."

Man: "I guess so, yeah."

Woman: "To think that you used to be a really small kid who'd follow me around... haa... I guess time flies by no matter what."

Man: "Yeah... And you haven't really changed at all, you don't age... speaking of how old are-"

Woman: "Don't ask ladies that question, it's a bit rude..."

Man: "S-Sorry..."

...The pleasent mood seemed to expand as time passed by, everything felt so calm and the silence was simply heartwarming as Hier watched in silence...

...As everything faded into white, another scene occurs before her...

...The red sky tinged by the setting sun, the presence of a gentle wind which slowly pass by. Underneath this red sky a Man and a woman sat next to each other on a veranda, it was the same pair from before only instead of painting, the two were simply there sitting right next to eachother, the wind blows as the sun descends...

...The two held hands and as they gazed into each other's eyes, they relay their raw emotions to one another and just as the last traces of sunlight vanish in the horizon, the two shared a kiss...

but...

...Suddenly the entire area darkens, the world starts collapsing around her like a torn up piece of paper as the black void starts to invade her sight. Hier stood there in the emptiness with nothing to see and nothing to hold when something appears out of nowhere... A mask in the form of a human skull revealed itself... from its eye sockets something starts to shine... Blue flames emerged and starts to bring light to the dark void...

Hier: "!?"

...Hier awakens and sits up from her bed, cold sweat dripping from her forehead, she looks around her room as if searching for something and then she looks down at her hand...
