A theater screen displayed a raven-haired boy wearing a luxurious suit resembling a knight dancing with a silver-haired girl wearing a outstanding white and purple outfit.
A beautiful melody accompanied the two, one eyes filled with love and affection, the other with admiration and respect...
Almost as if the two were destined to be together. A red string of love.
Their silly dance continued for a few moments, but it felt like years to those who witnessed the outcome. For Someone endured so much just to experience this moment.
Then the screen slowly faded into darkness... But the memory of the beautiful scene remained with those who witnessed it.
.
.
.
On the other side of the screen, there was a silver-haired girl who looked identical to the one seen moments ago.
The girl stared at the screen until it turned dark. Her entire body was frozen, as if time had stopped for her.
Her sharp purple eyes remained fixed on the dark screen, one could suggest she was glaring at it to how much intense she doing it.
"Lia."
A voice called out to her, and she slowly turned her head in the direction of the voice, maintaining the same expression.
The owner of the voice was a gray ball cat floating at the girl's face, with a deeply concerned look.
The cat stared at the girl's broken expression, its lips trembling as it asked,
"Are... you... okay?"
The girl simply stared at the cat for a moment before shifting her gaze back to the dark screen.
"It's not fair..."
The girl whispered, a tear rolling down her beautiful face.
"Lia?"
The cat asked again, moving closer to the girl.
"It's not fair..."
The girl whispered once more, her face now covered in tears.
"It's not fair..."
Her whispers turned into silent sobs as she lost control of her emotions, burying her face in her hands.
The cat was at a loss, unsure of what to do or how to calm the girl. It could only watch helplessly as she cried, blaming itself for the situation unfolding before its eyes.
"Why were you meant to be Pride? When you could become more '
The cat thought with deep regret and anger, as it once again attempted to comfort the miserable girl in it's sight.
.
.
.
Across from the silver-haired girl and gray cat, there a young handsome man with crimson red hair and piercing blue eyes.
He stared at the black screen in silence, his expression maintaining neutrality, but his mind was far from calm. In fact, it felt like a violent volcano ready to erupt.
"Why?"
A defected voice echoed in the man's head, a voice that he had once despised.
"Why are you so strong? Why are you so strong that I had to let them die? Is it too much?"
There was a time when he had desired to kill that person's voice.
"I wish I could have been like you. I wish I could have been honest like you, strong enough to save everyone. I find you enviable. I find you contemptible."
There was a time when this person's voice had filled him with pure hatred.
"I wanted to be you, Reinhardt."
" You are met capable than I am... But you're 'Pride' prevented it... Natsuki...Subaru."
The handsome man muttered in silence, his face filled with great regret and shame.

On the left side, nestled between the red hair man and silver hair girl, floating gray cat. Beside it, a little girl with unique blonde hair fashioned into drill-shaped twin tails that resemble springs, wearing a captivating and beautiful big red and pink dress, adding the charm of a little crown adorns above her head.
However, despite her adorable appearance, the little girl's face reveals a mismatched expression. Her peculiar eyes remain fixed on the black screen, filled with a deep sense of envy and regret for what she has just witnessed.
" He... He's not that person..."
she mutters to herself, her tone filled with helplessness and acceptance.
" He...He was supposed to be Betty's number one..."
uttering the somewhat despairing statement by the girl as she closes her eyes, trembling lips reflecting the turmoil within. Her entire body and core shake as she struggles to regain control.
She wonders why her fate is always cruel, forcing to exist in this harsh reality she finds herself in.
.
.
.
Above those unique individuals, there a woman with pink hair, clad in a slightly tattered maid outfit. Her eyes, a piercing shade of scornful ruby, bore into the black screen with a stoic and cold expression.
"To think that such potential was squandered by that scum, all for the sake of his foolishly obsessive pride,"
She hissed venomously, her tone dripping with wrath. Slowly, her expression shifted, revealing a mix of grief, regret, loss, and missed opportunities.
"He... he even manipulated(seduce)... Rem..."
she murmured, her voice laced with both disgust and remorse.
.
.
.
At the very edge, in stark contrast to the individuals engulfed in emotional turmoil, sat a stunning lady exuding a terrifying aura. She donned a revealing and tattered purple-black suit, adding to her allure.
Her eyes, as dark as black crystals, remained fixed on the dark screen before her. With a sigh of relief, she spoke, her voice carrying a hint of satisfaction.
"At least Meili managed to survive unscathed, unlike..."
Mid-sentence, her beautiful face contorted with regret, pausing momentarily before continuing with a sarcastic smirk.
"Regardless... This reality is truly both astounding and perplexing, if I may say."
Her smirk widened, emanating a chilling sweetness that would send shivers down anyone's spine.

In sharp juxtaposition to the individuals below, a floating man with a muscular build and hair red as a rose. adorning a sorcerer-like outfit, his hands clasped together in a prayer position. His eyes, resembles galaxies features, gazing down upon the sight before his Majestic self.
"Heh, it seems like the stage is set," ( almost )
He murmured, his voice carrying an air of intrigue.
A strange silence enveloped his voice, as he patiently waited for the people below to compose themselves.
" What struggles they must experiences to guide the once fallen star..."
The floating man's voice trailed off, his thoughts deep in contemplation. He found something incredibly interesting to ponder.
" I'm eager," ( are you? )
He whispered, his lips forming a mysterious smile that seemed to hold countless secrets.
With great anticipation for the reality he was about to witness, he patiently awaited.
allowing the tale to unfold itself.
