They Tried to Save the World
8. Hikari
She was the latecomer, the late bloomer. But she still had a role to play in saving the world: an important part.
She'd thought she was too young to think about saving the world, let along play a part.
And she felt young and inexperienced, but she felt safe as well. Because her big brother was there. Because she had an angel protector. Because the others were there too: all of them strong, all of them experienced.
She was safe with the rest of them. And she was important. That was why she was there.
Sometimes, she thought her inexperience would hold them up. Slow them down. Or her youth. Or her weak body that dragged them into the city that one time.
But they all happened for a reason, set the stage. And it all worked out in the end.
