Dora remained suspended in mid-air, completely unfazed by the fierce gusts of wind swirling around him, causing debris to dance across his form. His attention was solely fixed on one thing: the exact origin of the explosion.
With a swift motion, he firmly planted one foot on the ground, propelling himself forward with an incredible burst of speed. The sheer intensity of his movent was matched only by the piercing scream that erupted from deep within his lungs, echoing through the air with an undeniable fervor.
- These are the consequences of your passivity.
Glistening with brilliance, his eyes shone brightly, contrasting with the shattered half of his face. It now appeared as if he had ceased to exist altogether. The resonance of his voice, the sensations that used to envelop his body, had all faded away. It was no longer a boy running, but a puppet, controlled by a single command
- You... The culprit is. You abandoned them. You killed your mother and sister again.
Traversing through the last row of houses, he ventured into a desolate void. Within this desolate expanse, a massive crater harbored a scene of devastation.
The remnants of a once thriving neighborhood, with an inn standing proudly in its midst, now lay engulfed in flas and ruin. The air was heavy with the weight of loss, as the area had transford into a somber cetery, where the echoes of a vibrant past were now silenced.
Dora’s hands clenched tightly, his aura pulsating with an intense energy.
As his scream pierced the air, his unleashed power surged forth, creating an explosive spectacle. The impact rippled through the city, causing an abrupt halt in the movents of its inhabitants.
From the commoners to the knights and nobles, everyone succumbed to the overwhelming force, collapsing to the ground. Even those residing on the outskirts of the town instinctively turned their heads, their attention drawn to the sa direction.
The sheer magnitude of Dora’s unleashed power caused a significant portion of the city to be bathed in a vivid yellow glow. The resulting shockwave radiated for miles, leaving destruction and chaos in its wake.
Dora’s body disintegrated into countless fragnts, forming a peculiar purple silhouette in its wake.

series of images from his everyday life flickered before him, each one painting a clear picture of his life.
He was a little boy who ca out of nowhere, found by chance by a young man and a woman while they were walking in a forest. He was not orphaned, nor even created; he simply existed.
[Let’s take her ho, Rudy, maybe her parents are in the village?]
[I don’t know... We don’t know if they’re there, let’s look around.]
[Let’s go get him sothing to eat first, what’s your na?... Hmm? What a lovely na.]
[Um... Malia, I think this girl is a boy.]
The ground convulsed, launching debris high into the sky. The energy fused harmoniously with its source, enabling a deep connection to every single detail.

Flashes of Malia, Rudy, and Wendy together flashed through his mind.
He was in a room, in front of a cradle and inside was a baby. She slept peacefully, in his mory she had never cried when he was present.
He had no mirror, no idea of himself, and yet he felt content. The baby squeezed his finger like a teddy bear they couldn’t afford.
-Wendy...

For their part, Candace and Solaria fled as soon as the energy waves reached them.

First one cracked, then another, and the fractures spread like a spider’s web across its surface, indicating the young boy’s upcoming death. It glowed brightly for a mont before... The world plunged into darkness.
The expanse of space expanded into an endless sea of deep purple hues in which he lay naked.
Absolute silence enveloped everything, devoid of any sensation.
"..."
Dora blinked awake and was t with the breathtaking sight of a wide purple sky, speckled with countless stars that resembled a sea of twinkling lights.
"..."
After a brief pause, he remained motionless, allowing his mind to wander back to the past.
"... I see... I’m dead then?"
He spoke in a calm, serene, relaxed voice. He didn’t feel desperate, but rather satisfied.
"... Oh, I rember... I rember now..."
He raised his hand to the sky, looking at the back of his hand.
"The Twilight of the Gods, the year I killed people... the mories they erased... Marie, Lilith, Zury... Mom... Wendy..."
He took a deep breath and let his hand fall into the fresh water. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath.
"... Thank god... I’m dead too... This world is not worth living in... I’m finally... free. Mom, Dad, Wendy, I’m coming."
"Ah? And who allowed you to leave?"
He froze in the water montarily before easing into a seated position. A sudden flash of light scrambled his thoughts. He wordlessly turned away, his mind blank, a puppet on strings, until his eyes sparked with intensity.
"It’s very bold of you to try to abandon this body after all my hard work, my little toy."
