"Huff... Cough!... Splurt!..."
Neos breathed heavily, her consciousness slowly fading away, and she coughed up blood onto her tiny palm.
She wobbled back and forth and finally lost her balance.
"Neos!"
Berkah's clone flapped his wings to catch the falling little girl.
But...
Hidero was already there and caught her before she could fall.
"You have done well, my dear niece... Your mother would be proud of you."
Neos glanced up at her Uncle's visage, his words filling her with warmth and comfort.
Hidero leaned in and whispered in her ear:
"I know how much it weakens you to perform miracles."
"I know you hate being unable to move for days on end... I apologize, Neos."
"You have done enough now... You don't need to do this anymore, you can finally rest."
"You have atoned for your mother's death, she has definitely forgiven you now."
