[Scene: A dark alley, moments after Ray's death – the shadows seem alive, oppressive.]
[Kelvin, still bleeding, stands in front of a man cloaked in darkness: Tyrus. His eyes glow like dying embers—calm, but deadly.]
Tyrus (stepping closer):— "Haven't you realized it yet, Kelvin?From the day you were born… you never belonged to this world."
Kelvin (snaps, shouting):— "Shut up!Don't speak like you know me!"
Tyrus (smirking):— "But I do know you...Because I am your father."
[Kelvin freezes. Time itself feels like it's stopped. His breathing becomes ragged.]
Kelvin (broken whisper):— "No… no, what are you saying…Then… does that mean all of this is because of me?"
[His voice trembles. His vision blurs. The guilt floods in.]
Kelvin (falling to his knees):— "The ruin… the destruction…the deaths of innocents… and Ray's death…Was it… all my fault…?"
[He clutches his head, screams building up in his throat.]
Tyrus (voice smooth, like a serpent):— "You're not the villain here.You were used.Lied to… twisted. But now… I offer you a choice."
[Tyrus extends his hand.]
Tyrus (soft, persuasive):— "Come. Join us, Kelvin."
[Kelvin looks up—and sees her. Standing in the mist… the woman he loved most: Maria Nox, his mother.]
But... her eyes are different. Cold. Hollow.It's not her. It's a dark version, a shadow.
Kelvin (voice hollow):— "If I join you… will my suffering finally end?"
Tyrus (smiling):— "But of course…All you need to do… is give me your body."
[Kelvin's thoughts race. He sees flashes of his friends—Darius, Rose, Diana… Lorien.]
Kelvin (in thought, tears falling):— "I'm sorry, everyone…Especially you, Lorien…"
[He closes his eyes.And accepts.]
Darkness consumes him.
[A moment later… silence.]
From the shadows rises Tyrus, now reborn—younger, stronger, his power fully restored. His presence alone bends the air.
Tyrus (smiling):— "Now… only one thing left.The old man's spear."
[Scene change: The Stormbreak House – Golden sunset through the windows]
[Inavy walks slowly through the hallway. Each step is heavy, his face marked by dirt, blood, and sorrow. The Chaos Katana is sealed on his back, wrapped in a dark cloth.]
[He enters the living room.]
There sits Tiana, folding old clothes gently. She looks up—And immediately understands.
Inavy (choked, barely audible):— "...Mom…"
[He collapses to his knees before her, fists clenched against the floor.]
Inavy (weeping):— "I gave everything…I fought as hard as I could…But it wasn't enough…Dad… Ray… he died… because of me!"
[Tiana doesn't speak.She sets the clothes aside, kneels, and holds him in silence.]
Her embrace says everything.
[Ron enters – running]
[He freezes at the sight.Inavy crying in Tiana's arms.Ray… gone.]
Ron (quietly):— "...No…"
[He drops to his knees, trembling. The tears fall without permission.]
[Kyara arrives – still young, still innocent.]
Kyara (smiling faintly):— "Inavy-chan?Where's Daddy?"
[No one answers.She sees Tiana crying. Ron silent. Inavy's face buried in his hands.]
Kyara (small voice):— "...He's gone, isn't he?"
[She breaks into tears, running into her mother's arms.]
[Tiana, still holding Kyara, wipes her daughter's tears.]
Tiana (voice soft and trembling):— "What matters is that he… and all of you…fought with everything you had.Ray kept his promise…He gave his life… for the ones he loved."
[Inavy slowly stands. He wipes his tears with his sleeve.His eyes are still red—but behind them burns a new fire.]
Inavy (voice steady):— "Mom… Ron… Kyara…"
(pauses, then solemnly)
— "I swear, on my soul…I won't lose any of you.Even if I have to face all of Tyrus' army alone—I won't let him take you."
[He breathes deeply.]
— "And I'll destroy him.For Ray.For the world.And for us."
