The Phoenix Has Risen
**flashback**
In the cozy study of the Evans mansion, a younger Lily sat on the plush carpet, surrounded by books and toys. Vittorio, Ricci, and Martino, dressed in suits that seemed oversized next to Lily's petite form, entered with playful grins.
"My Don Lily, we come bearing gifts!" exclaimed Vittorio, holding out a small box of chocolates.
Martino crouched down, presenting a colorful bag of candies. "Your favorite, Lily!"
Ricci, with his enigmatic aura, joined in the merriment, offering a beautifully wrapped present that later she found out full of insects toys. She cried in fear when she opened it and Ricci laughed happily
"Happy birthday, little one."
