"Great...reset?" Lisa whispered. She recognized the words of her daughter, Anita, from far distance.

"Mi...Hear me my fellow Elaiviras and Elaiyara, ava sha kula, setty lei ha vur no, na Da gha Harmon, Harmon hasanata ra fhu, shukhur hal ghu sana fah lha, Lukh shir hal ghu sana fah lha, Harmonia....Etinati Coshingaru," 

The voice, in sweet horror rhythm, a tone of welcome, of the Great Reset. Lisa stood up, searching for the voice of her daughter. "She's still there," Elyssa said.

"You mean..."

"Ava sha kula, setty lei ha vur no, na Da gha Harmon, Harmon hasanata ra fhu, shukhur hal ghu sana fah lha, Lukh shir hal ghu sana fah lha, Harmonia....Etinati Coshingaru," Anita, where she was leaning on the wall lifelessly, but her mouth still moved. There's still a bit of her soul still intact. She sat there alone. Both Max and Melania were enthralled by the cinders. Her emotions were dull, yet her tears ran down from her eyes. Luckily, she can move, but still weakens her chants. So, she has to stay there until things recede. 

As she chants, the time slows down and soon stops. Sparks paused and the blood spelled above the air halts its spills to the ground. Only herself, Anita, still moves, with her consistent chants.

///////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Running steps in the hall, heard in echoes, exciting breath of a young cyborg girl, heading to the class. "(Heavy breath) Made it..." she soon sits on her table as usual days.

She's diligent in her studies, especially learning new abilities and new chants. She is one of the highest ranks not just in her class, but also in the whole school. They adore her as their only apprentice because of her precise spells and good strategy maker.

After school, she went home on the same route. She walks alone unusually since she's used to having one or two friends join the walk. As she was walking alone, there was a man behind the walls, hiding to get his target. 

"Watch out...Name...James." a whisper in Anita's ear. She reduced her walking speed and carefully analyzed her own surroundings. Then, she just says one word.

"Harmonia~"

Then, a man behind the wall who was trying to capture her is surprised by her appearance which suddenly appears at his rear. Her innocent smile fears feelings to himself. After that, he didn't want to think more, he ran away. As the captor escapes, Anita walks home much safer.

"Harmonia, Mama~" she sweetly told Lisa where she was repairing her leg. Anita immediately helps her to sort things up spontaneously.

"How's your studies, sweety?" 

"As usual. But mama..." Anita sits next to her mother after finishing repairing it. "One day, when the world suddenly goes down, I will be the one who saves you first, mama."

Lisa was amused with her daughter, that time she was 12 years old. "I'm sure you can, my sweet blossom cherry," she said.

Both of them have spent their time together, laughing at each other's jokes and a lot of fun things.

Later on, at nighttime, as Lisa and Akira are sleeping, Anita quietly joins in the middle of both of them. Lisa was awake a bit, noticing Anita with her shivers and cold around her. Lisa softly sighed and was about to hug her but her husband hugged her first. Lisa smiled a bit seeing a father comforting his daughter so naturally. Then, she joins the cuddle as well.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\///////////////////////////////

"Do you realize it now, elaiyara?" Elyssa said, showing a hint of convincing that Anita was much more special than what Lisa expected.

As Anita kept chanting, Lisa couldn't help but her heart felt touched by her daughter's sacrifice. "Is she...save us?"

"No, she'll save us....all,"

The world goes backward, restarting life, resetting the mistakes, and bringing back to the baseline. Everything came back to where it should have, riots turned to peace and happy parades, mourning turned into lovely sung, and the red sky slowly went back to its blue air ocean. "Anita... knew this happened,"

Suddenly, Elyssa and Lisa saw through their vision of their daughter, a wendigo, standing upon Anita. As she looks up at its face, it kneels, puts its hand above her head, and starts caressing. Soon, a cryptic language spokes upon Anita, and she nods understandingly.

Elyssa's eyes widened with disbelief at what she heard. "What did it say, Elyssa? What did it say?" Lisa said.

"Open....your...e-eyes..."

"..." the distinct voice that was fading out, Elyssa slowly opened her eyes, looking around the space she was in. A room full of white, brights the sight. 

Heard nearly close, the banging door from the outside. As she tries to stand up, noticing there are multiple wires connected to her head and neck. She follows the wires and finds the monitor that says 'Offline'.

She pulled all of the wires on her and tried to stand by herself, and fortunately, she still could walk. Soon she walked to the door and found Anita, which she's now looked like Lisa more, and almost thought she was her twin. "Mama? You're okay?"

"W-where am I? Are you..."

"Yes, I'm still Anita," she smiles.

What Elyssa realized her daughter was now wearing a cleric outfit. "Dear, why are you wearing the Apostle's outfit?"

"Hmm?"

After that, Elyssa also realized that Lisa was not taking over her body yet. "Wait...is she alive?" she talks to herself.

Soon, A tall armored man walks towards them, opens his helmet, and reveals it to be Akira. Elyssa suddenly trembles in fear of witnessing the berserker in front of her eyes. But it won't last as Anita touches her father's arm and instantaneously calms him down. "Where's...Lisa?" he said with a sorrowful tone.

"I don't know...A-Akira..." Elyssa hesitantly said.

Everything changes, nothing is the same. It's like...a new world...a new....timeline.
