BGM: "Sennen no Niji" ("The Thousand-Year Rainbow") by Rin' featuring alan.
The world is white, and her limbs seize. The blade that missed her was black. The boys have just saved their teacher from a trap.
The sea is bright, and she can almost see her eyes reflected.
The sky is blue, then gray, then white. The world is red, and her breath catches.
The dark boy lies bleeding, pierced by a hundred metal thorns. He wakes and warms, and they rejoice even as the bridge is stained brown and red.
Exhausted warriors turn to return to the bridge builder's home. Exhausted, their teacher collapses again, and the children laugh.
