After much deliberation, Yuna still couldn't make up her mind.

She really wanted to confirm Cyclone's safety, and she really wanted to be by Cyclone's side.

But under the seduction of desire, in order to save Cyclone's life, Yuna halted her steps.

"Sis, by not going, am I really doing what's best for Cyclone?"

Faced with Yuna's uncertainty, desire let out a sigh.

"Actually, I don't know either."

This "I don't know" immediately left Yuna feeling stunned.

"It was your man who called me. Before I left, he gave me one final instruction – if he found out you were coming to see him, he hoped I would stop you."

Yuna locked eyes with desire.

"May I understand why you're here?"

As Yuna asked this, lights were approaching from the forest.

It seemed they had stayed there for too long, and the patrolling guards were getting closer. Desire didn't answer Yuna, but instead said,

"Your husband is in there. Now that you know the location, whether you go or not, it's up to you to decide later."

Desire placed her hands on Yuna's face, hoping Yuna would continue looking into her eyes.

"Your questions, your doubts, after we leave here, I'll explain everything to you."

With that said, Yuna gazed into the depths of the park.

Seeing the lights getting closer, Yuna eventually compromised.

After nodding, she took desire and returned to Elyse's safe house.

"What?! A prison cell?!"

Upon returning to the tiny room, Yuna exclaimed in surprise.

But what she received was desire's resignation.

"Yes, he's in the cell."

Yuna had just sat down when she immediately got back up.

"How... How am I supposed to stay calm?!"

"Your husband is incredibly resilient. He knows exactly what to do to stay alive. He's like an unkillable cockroach."

"But?!"

Desire waved her hand, signaling for Yuna to sit back down.

But upon hearing that Cyclone was in a cell, both Yuna and Elyse were extremely worried.

"Listen, I'll tell you what I saw first. After analyzing it, if you still want to go save your husband, I won't stop you. I'll even help you."

"..."

As Yuna hesitated, Tiny chuckled.

"If it were Klein, I wouldn't hesitate at all."

As a third party between the two sisters, Tiny smirked mischievously.

But Yuna paid no attention, because Tiny didn't know why Cyclone did what he did, nor did she understand Yuna's reasons for hesitating.

To Yuna and desire, Tiny was just throwing a temper tantrum, asserting her love for Klein.

But in Elyse's eyes, Tiny was actually trying to meddle in the worries of the two sisters, wanting to join in and become part of the sisters' present.

This kind of behavior was immediately seen through by Elyse.

Because of Tiny's actions, it was like looking at her past self.

Like a reflection, in the City of Dusk of the past, Elyse, like Tiny, became aggressive out of jealousy towards Sophiel and her sister.

All she wanted was for the two to pay more attention to her.

This young girl named Yuna was truly Elyse's most detested opponent.

Just like Sophiel, she made Elyse immensely envious.

Compared to her own brother, that almost twisted lunatic, Elyse's heart was gradually being drawn towards darkness.

If at that time Cyclone hadn't appeared, Elyse might have remained just her brother's plaything all her life.

A canary hidden away for viewing, who might one day become a morally corrupted woman.

The young man who rejected her, the one destined in the prophecy to be chosen by the Sword of Truth, Elyse had been waiting.

How should I put it?

That feeling, that emotion constantly compressed in her chest, finally erupted in front of Cyclone.

Even if it was just for a moment, it was enough to make Elyse lost in her own thoughts.

She wanted to possess him, truly embrace him as her only true love.

Even if the process seemed irrational and infatuated, Elyse didn't mind.

Because this was her way of showing love to Cyclone.

Where are you, really...

Gazing at the silhouette ahead, Elyse reminisced about the man who had moved her heart.
