Chapter 27 - Ema’s Burden

(POV: Ema / Ren)

Ema sat at the piano, silver threads of her aura flaring. She could feel Airi's presence in every note, but the weight was unbearable. Playing the melody was like lifting a knife to her own soul.

Ren approached, crimson aura pulsating. "You don't have to do this alone."

Ema shook her head. "If I don't… the melody will die. And so will she. I… I promised."

Together, they began to play. Ren's violin intertwined with Ema's piano. Crimson and silver lights danced in the chamber, casting shadows on the walls like living beings.

The melody grew stronger, but the cost became clear—each note drained a fragment of their strength, memories slipping like sand through their fingers.
