We shouldn't have skipped past it when we were in Alpha's mind...
We missed a crucial clue that day...
You can't hide the bitterness of being kept from the truth, but you can't help but feel a sense of anticipation. Perhaps there's still a chance, and maybe fate has other plans for the sisters after all.
Devour you... and then live on?
I'd rather die here with you, Luna!
I've held on this long... to protect you...
We're out of time! Sis...
Just try to "devour" me. I'll merge with your body, but I won't die. I'll live inside you symbiotically. We'll be together forever, just like how we tricked Mom when we were little.
Only this time, we'll be tricking the entire world.
I can't take that risk.
There's no time. The monsters are coming.
I don't want to be a burden to you. Let's try it, just this once.
If we fail, we can always just die afterward.
And if that happens, we'll meet again in whatever world comes next, Sis.
Lucia can feel blood seeping from her body, while tears of blood force her to wipe her eyes just to see the devastation before her. She holds her sister in the dark, using every ounce of strength to envelop and... absorb her.
Alpha stands before a blurry mirror, fixating on her right eye until its reflection expands, covering the entire surface.
Luna awakens within the mirror, drowsily acting spoiled and clingy toward her sister.
Something's off about Cradle.
She's been collecting my blood. Got herself a whole boxful.
Luna catches this crucial information and sits up sharply, alert as a small predator.
I sense your murderous intent. Do you want to kill her?
No. Just thinking about switching doctors. Can't exactly entrust my life to someone I don't trust...
You should let her continue. I'm quite curious to see what bold moves Cradle might make. She might surprise us yet.
For instance, she might create a perfect vessel capable of housing me. By the way, does she still enjoy making those puppets?
As usual... Alright.
I'm heading out, Luna. You look exhausted.
Alpha seized immense power after that incident, but was forced to seal away Luna's soul. For a single body, two souls have proved too heavy a burden.
She has been dashing endlessly between the Mist and the city, searching for a suitable
Don't worry. We'll never find ourselves in any real danger even if there's a threat.
As long as I exist, no one will ever threaten you, Sis.
Luna, sometimes I worry you're just a hallucination. Maybe that's why we can only meet here.
So you've been trying to kill yourself all along? Throwing yourself into battles, hoping that I would appear and take control of this body in those near-death moments?
Which one is truly the madwoman between us?
You cast aside the name Lucia... you became Alpha, just so you'd never forget that night.
But Sis, "Alpha" is our pride, not your sin.
Luna, it was because of you that I became Alpha. And because of you... I can never forgive her.
This hatred I carry for "myself" is the only thing left that lets me feel you. If I lose that too... I don't know how to keep living.
...Please, Sis, don't die... Don't leave me...
Luna vanishes in Alpha's embrace, a loss the Countess has never grown accustomed to.
