Location: Lunara Vale —
The Final Sanctuary of the Spiral.
White skies. Floating islands.
Frozen Spiral rings hanging in the air like shattered time.
This isn't a battlefield.
This is where the Spiral remembers.
---
Main: Aren Kael
I open my eyes.
Aika is beside me.
Tomo floats silently, for once not glitching.
The Spiral Rod glows — golden-blue —
But it's quiet.
---
Aika (softly):
> "Is this the place… where Spiral left its very first user?"
I don't answer.
Because the air here is the answer.
---
Suddenly — a voice echoes.
LUNARA.
She walks through the air —
Wearing a white Spiral dress.
One eye golden… the other, a void. Broken.
There's no rage in her expression — just quiet understanding.
---
Lunara (gentle):
> "You two are the Spiral's most beloved pain."
"And I… I am its first memory."
---
Tomo (whispers):
> "Bro… that's her.
The one who wrote the Spiral system."
---
Lunara steps forward, holding a floating scroll.
On it, written in glowing script:
> "To remember pain… is to remember life."
---
Lunara (to Aren):
> "You didn't defeat the Spiral.
You changed it."
> "Now… you have the right to write a new rule.
But in return — Spiral will take something from you:
a memory, a name… an existence."
---
I turn to Aika.
No doubt in her eyes.
She's ready.
But I'm not.
---
Aren (thinking):
> "I want Spiral to let everyone live with their memories…
But for that to happen… someone has to vanish from memory completely?"
---
Aika (softly):
> "Let me go."
"You remember everyone…
So I'll become… something for you to remember."
---
And then—
YUI enters.
Her Spiral armor is cracked.
Chains broken.
But she walks steady.
Strong.
---
Yui (shouting):
> "No!"
> "You two were born from memories.
I was made to protect them."
---
Aren:
> "Yui—"
Yui (cuts in):
> "Let it be me."
"I was never part of your memories… or Aika's.
I was just Spiral's chain.
Let me be the end of it."
---
Suddenly — VOID appears.
Black aura. Silent steps.
But there's no fight in him.
---
Void (coldly):
> "Whatever the Spiral forgets… I remember."
"Write any rule you want…
But the things Spiral erases…
They become mine."
---
Lunara turns to Void:
> "You're not a god of memories.
You're just the forgotten version… of one."
---
Void smiles…
And silently steps back into the mist.
---
Final Moment.
Lunara raises the Spiral scroll:
> "Write the rule."
---
I lift the Spiral Rod.
Aika holds my hand.
The Rod glows with white-gold flame.
Together, we speak:
> "New Spiral Law:
Pain remembered = Power awakened
Forget nothing.
Burn nothing.
Accept everything."
---
A blast of white Spiral light.
Reality shifts.
Yui fades away — smiling.
Void walks off into the white mist.
Lunara dissolves —
Her scroll turning to stardust.
---
Final Scene.
Aika and I sit by a lake.
Still. At peace.
Tomo floats above us — glitch-free for the first time.
---
Aika (softly):
> "You didn't beat the Spiral.
You understood it."
"Now it doesn't fear you.
It's… looking at you."
---
Spiral Rod — Final Form:
ChronoFlame: Spiral Breaker
Engraving: "The boy who refused to forget."
---
Final Line — Aren (voiceover):
> "I used to think the Spiral only burned us…
But it never wanted to destroy us.
It only showed us the pain…
So we'd finally learn how to live through it."
