The television played quietly.
The final episode.
The characters on screen stood at the edge of the world.
A dark sky.
Fierce winds.
The final lines of dialogue.
The music swelled.
Then—
cut to black.
Ending.
Yuna remained seated.
Her eyes glued to the screen.
"...It’s over..."
__
I only caught a glimpse of it.
Turns out, it was just an ani.
She picked up the remote.
Click.
The TV turned off.
The room imdiately grew quieter.
Outside—
it was raining.
Heavier than usual.
The sound of water drumming against the window.
Yuna stood up.
She walked over to the corner of the room.
Opened a small box.
A witch’s hat.
A short wand, about two handspans long.
A cloak.
She took them out, one by one.
And put them on.
The hat was slightly too big.
Covering part of her eyes.
The cloak wasn’t long.
But it was enough to make her look the part.
She turned around.
Facing .
Silent.
Waiting.
__
I looked at her.
t her gaze.
Then let out a small sigh.
Do I really have to do this...
Alright...
I sat up straighter.
Picked up my phone.
Searched for sothing.
A movie or ani soundtrack.

Heavy tones.
The final battle.
The end of the world.
Destruction.
I hit play.
Sound filled the room.
Blending with the rain outside.
A perfect fit.
__
I stood up.
Slowly.
Took a few steps into the middle of the room.
Wiped my face with my hand.
Dampened my hair slightly with so water.
Cold.
I returned.
Standing in front of Yuna.
A mont of silence.
We stared at each other.
Alright, ti to begin.
Then—
I spoke.
In a voice lower than usual.
__
"The world is now on the brink of destruction."
The rain outside sounded louder.
"The Demon King has fully awakened..."
Yuna didn’t move.
But her eyes were focused.
"Dark clouds shroud the world."
"...thunderstorms rage everywhere."
I paced slowly to the side.
"One by one, the houses burn."
"...and there is no one who can stop it."
I stopped.
Stared straight ahead.
Action.
__
Then, I let out a deep laugh.
"Hahaha...!"
My tone shifted.
"I have awakened..."
"...the world desires destruction."
"...and so, I rise."
I raised my hand slightly.
"The gates of hell..."
I paused.
Took a breath.
"...are open!"
I stomped my foot lightly.
"Craaash..."
Yuna flinched slightly.
But she didn’t step back.
Instead, she took a step forward.
Raised her wand.
"Papa—!!"
She stopped.
__
Furrowed her brow a little.
"...Eh..."
She corrected her stance.
"Demon King!!"
Her voice was louder now.
"I am Yuna!!"
She pointed at .
Her wand trembled slightly.
"If the Demon King is going to destroy the world..."
She took a deep breath.
"...then I will be the one to stop him!"
I looked at her.
Then smiled faintly.
"Let’s see you try."
