The golden-haired female knight, clad in armor, stood silently before Yu Sheng. In the distance lay the boundless grassy wilderness, and beside them was a fire that once sheltered the children, now cold and extinguished.
But the knight's gaze did not fall upon Yu Sheng—she simply stood there quietly, like a statue that had been here for ages, her eyes fixed on the distant landscape as if not focusing on anything at all.
After a moment of surprise, Yu Sheng walked over curiously, yet the golden-haired girl showed no reaction to his approach.
"...Hello?"
Yu Sheng tried to greet her, waving his hand before her eyes, but received no response.
Yu Sheng furrowed his brow, observing carefully, and finally noticed something amiss.
Though the "female knight" appeared very real, her silhouette seemed to emit a faint, unreal glow, as if she wasn't entirely present.
Yu Sheng circled her twice, finally confirming that what stood before him was merely a kind of phantom.
