LuzHela’s mocking demeanor softened a fraction. She looked from Helena’s devastated face to Geto’s unconscious form. This Helena still looked very much like the her Helena. This strange look on Helena’s face subtly pained her.

She knelt, her movements now devoid of theatrics. “His soul is a mess,” she stated clinically, hovering a hand over Geto’s chest. “Fractured. Full of holes where his Curses used to be. And clinging to him… your energy, Helena. A seraph’s grief. And one of your friends, Gojo, was it?… ah, a god’s guilt. A potent cocktail. It didn’t just move you through space. It moved you through states.” She looked around. “This place… it exists between certainties. A nexus of ‘what if.'”

Helena’s tears fell freely now. “What does that mean?”

LuzHela met her gaze, her golden eyes gleaming with a terrifying, ancient knowledge. “It means, my dear, distressed damsel, that the universe—in its infinite chaos—has just dumped a problem on my lap.” A slow, sharp-toothed smile spread across her face. “And I find myself… intrigued.”

She looked at Suguru Geto, the man who had thrown everything away for a twisted ideal of a better world.

“Is this a second chance?” Helena asked, voicing the desperate hope she didn’t dare feel.

LuzHela laughed, a sound both beautiful and terrifying. “That depends entirely on your definition. It’s a possibility. A blank page, currently soaked in blood and tears. The question isn’t just for him.” She pointed a sharp-nailed finger at Helena. “Your light is dimming. You fought fate your old world arranged for you. You watched your friends break. What will you become here, in this broken sky, with him and the other? Will you try to re-ignite your heart? Or will you let it go out? The other one is here! Still wrapped up in his own narcissism. Will you save him too?”

She stood, offering a hand to Helena, not to pull her up, but as a pact.

“My department is souls, Helena. And this is the most fascinating case I’ve seen in millennia. I’m not here to save you. That’s on you. So,” her smile widened. “Shall we see what story we can write on this blank page? Ah looks like someone is ready to rise to the occasion. Be on alert, we need to fight our way out of this area. “

As they spoke and their hands met, Geto began to stir… @sugurugeto
