(Nighttime)
(Crowd banter and the sound of fireworks. Everyone is enjoying the lantern festivals, whether inside or outside the castle.)
I was sprinting down the corridor with a new outfit and a predetermined hairstyle. I'm grinning to myself because I heard Knite has opened his eyes.
My sacrifice was never in vain. I desperately want to see him.
When I arrived at his room, the guards were stationed nearby, protecting the entire area. When they saw my presence, they showed me respect.
I simply nodded. For a time, I stood just in front of the door. I'm a little worried about meeting him now. This sensation was distinct from anything I had actually encountered.
