    Summary

    Seeing Victor’s face haloed by the blinding bright shine of the catastrophic meltdown makes the destruction feel almost beautiful.

    Cardia drinks it all in. Her chest feels so warm being held like this, a gentler heat than horologium’s scorching transformation. She can breathe easily now, but she feels breathless in a whole different way when she remembers the softness of Victor’s lips pressed to her own.

    She’s in love with him. She already knew that, but in this moment, those words come to mind unbidden.

    She’s in love with him.

    And then a pane of glass shatters, startling her out of her reverie.

    “We better get going.” Victor says.

    “Right…”

     


    Or, immediately following the finale of his route, Cardia and Victor make their escape.

    Summary

    [ MAJOR V3 SPOILERS ]

    He glances around and sees Maki and Himiko in their own pods, putting up various degrees of struggle. “What…” Shuuichi croaks, winces.

    “The killing game!” One of the people - a man with dirty yellow hair and a grey suit underneath his coat - smiles with a smile so fake that had it not been for his words, Saihara would’ve punched him. “It wasn’t real.”

    It wasn’t real.

    It wasn’t real.
