For a minute, Ace could feel himself floating, just the same way Lia had slammed her monsterous arm against him to cascade into the wall when the formation broke, but this time— it was different.
It felt as if he was flying, a soft hand holding him tight and close as they journeyed.
Ace finally caught sight of the one who had pushed him into the air for a flight, a small scoff making its way out of his mouth.
Lunari.
She had saved him from the claws of death without him noticing.
"Tell me, can you die for me, Lunari?" Ace suddenly asked.
Her eyes darted about his eyes, wondering why he had suddenly asked such a question. Perhaps he was putting her to a test and her fate was resting solely on her response.
