Just as Kaito felt himself slipping deeper into the Abyss, a blinding light cut through the darkness, and Celestia appeared, her wings glowing with divine energy. She hovered above them, her eyes filled with urgency.
"Kaito!" she called out, her voice shaking with emotion. "You don't have to be part of this. The Abyss doesn't own you."
Seraphina's eyes narrowed, her grip on Kaito tightening. "He's not yours to save, Celestia. He's made his choice."
Celestia's expression softened, her voice turning pleading. "Has he? Kaito, this isn't who you are. You're stronger than the Abyss. I know it."
Kaito's mind was spinning, torn between the two forces pulling at him from all sides. On one hand, the Abyss promised power beyond his wildest dreams—power that could protect him, protect Seraphina, and even change the world. But on the other hand, Celestia's light was warm, comforting, offering him a way out from the darkness that threatened to consume him.
"I…" Kaito's voice wavered, uncertainty flooding his mind.
The demon king's voice growled from the shadows. "Enough of this! The time for hesitation is over. Choose, Kaito. Will you join me and claim your true place, or will you remain weak, shackled by these fools?"
Before Kaito could answer, Celestia landed beside him, her hand gently resting on his shoulder. "You don't have to make this decision alone," she whispered. "I'll stand by you, no matter what."
Seraphina stepped forward, her face a mask of pain. "So will I, Kaito. But know this—once you step into the Abyss fully, there's no going back."
The weight of their words pressed down on him, and for a moment, Kaito felt like the world was crumbling beneath him. The power of the Abyss roared in his veins, and the light of Celestia's wings shone like a beacon, pulling him in two directions.
Kaito closed his eyes, trying to silence the chaos. But deep down, he knew that no matter what he chose, the world would never be the same.
