Back in the present, looking into Noel's gray eyes up close, her hand gently caressing his cheek, Serah could still see it — that valiant figure who had walked out of the Trial Dimension.
She had thought he would die afterward.
That she'd never see him again.
But here he was… right in front of her eyes.
Meeting him again — through this strange twist of fate and the presence of another dimension — had been a true surprise.
And yet… what made her heart beat louder was something else entirely:
He hadn't changed.
Despite the loss of his memory.
Despite his current weakness.
He still had that pride — that same arrogant gaze in his eyes.
And so… she wouldn't back away this time.
She had been a child back then.
She hadn't yet learned that what you want, you take — regardless of the consequences.
Her voice dropped, sultry and low.
"Don't leave me hanging. Answer me… do you want to take my virginity?"
She said it clearly now. Explicitly. Without shame.
