Chapter 50 — Hana the Forgotten, Queen of the Core
---
5:44 AM | The Core Mirror Spire — Between Name and Moan
The spire pulsed like a heartbeat.
It wasn't made of stone.
It was made of forgotten sounds.
Yuuto and Aika stood at its entrance.
She was changed now—
Tall, crystalline skin, black glass wings folded tight.
Her thighs slick with the curse that bound her to him.
> "She's in there…"
"But she doesn't remember anything about you, Yuuto."
Yuuto clenched his fists.
> "Then I'll make her remember."

Inside the Spire — The Throne of Echo
Hana sat on a throne made of lovers.
Naked bodies — moaning, writhing, forgotten.
All versions of Yuuto.
> "She's feeding on echoes of you."
Her eyes were violet glass.
Her smile— cruel, gentle, godlike.
She saw them enter.
> "More reflections…?"
"Or just old toys that forgot they were thrown away?"
Aika stepped forward—blade forming behind her spine.
> "That's not you, Hana."
Hana laughed.
> "Who is Hana?"
"I only remember pleasure. Pain. Submission."
Then she opened her legs.
> And the Spire moaned.

Yuuto's Challenge: Touch Her Memory
A voice boomed from the walls:
> "You cannot take her.
You must be chosen."
Three challenges appeared:
1. The First Kiss — Recreate the moment he first touched her with emotion
2. The Final Moan — Echo the sound she made the last time she climaxed with him
3. The Broken Name — Say her name in a way only she would remember
Yuuto had to choose one.
Aika could only assist in one way.
> "Choose carefully, Yuuto," Aika whispered.
"The wrong choice… and she becomes Queen of the Void."
