A few hours earlier.

    "Huff... Huff... Haah... Haah..."

    Reika woke up abruptly, beads of cold sweat clinging to her forehead.@@@@

    As her mind gradually cleared, she looked around and confirmed that she was still in her room.

    A dream...?

    It had been a horrifying nightmare.

    But it wasn’t a dream where she herself was the focus.

    Instead, she had seen Swen.

    In the dream, he had been walking straight into a sea of flames, willingly, deliberately.

    "Yes. I was wondering when he might visit next... if there’s a set schedule..."

    "Why do you ask? I thought you didn’t need to worry about your magic training for the time being."
