In Jake's mind, memories flooded back of a girl with jet-black hair and a sweet disposition. Feng Qiu'er was his closest friend, always looking out for him, though Jake shared the same feelings, even if he had never expressed them.
Once, Jake had pondered the idea of growing old together with her, perhaps even marrying her. It was a thought he didn't despise. But then, that fateful day arrived.
Qiu'er's father, tragically, turned her into the vessel of the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox. Jake vividly witnessed her transformation into that monstrous entity, and he was forced to take her life with his own hands.
"Is Qiu'er still alive?" Jake inquired, his voice filled with a mix of hope and confusion.
"I'm sorry," Lilith replied, "time has run out."
