The moment Raven stepped into the golden dome with Arietta, the entire world outside blurred.
It wasn't like a door closing.
It was as if existence politely looked away, shielding itself from what was to come.
Even Raven, standing inside, could sense it—no sound leaked in, no gaze pierced through, and not even mana seemed able to eavesdrop.
"...Of course it's sealed," he muttered, sighing as he rubbed the back of his neck. "This girl doesn't do halfway."
Omni, who had gone disturbingly quiet during the transition, finally whispered, "Bro... I can't even sense the shadows in this place. That ain't natural. This is some stalker goddess high-budget love dungeon, and you just walked into it voluntarily. You got issues."
Raven ignored him, mostly because he agreed.
A soft breeze stirred the air as Arietta walked forward, her divine radiance softening around him.
