The sky opens up and rain pours down as if water from the whole world is converging here.
Vera jumps onto the roof and finds the humanoid-hybrid Ascendant standing not far away. Lamia lifts her head slightly, looking at the sky, letting the rain hit her face.
Despite not expecting her to listen, Vera still raises the banner spear in her hand and points it at Lamia, threatening her loudly.
Hey, fish girl!
I don't know what's your deal with this city.
But you better disable the submergence command right this second, or this spear goes right through you, you hear me?
The mermaid Ascendant turns her head toward Vera slowly. A strand of hair, wet from the rain, falls to the side with her movement, revealing her hollow-looking gaze.
Vera is stunned.
Vera knows that gaze intimately. The look of total desperation was once in her eyes as well.
On that rainy day, after all her companions died, she also stood there, looking at the rainy sky, letting the rain hit her, hiding her tears in the rain.
I'm not... going to give it to anyone.
Lamia draws her twinblade, the edges of the curved blades looking like the arcs of comets flying across the night sky.
This is mine... Stop bothering this place... Sink—
SINK!
Lamia cries, sorrowfully, and charges at Vera with her blade held high.
