   "Do you have any regrets?" A voice seemed to come from nowhere. "... It seems we were never really together, isn't that a bit of a regret?" The woman knelt on the ground, holding the man in her arms, a gentle smile on her face, but somewhat forced. "You still have the same smile you had when we first met, just like in the beginning, when we met on the rooftop. But I think I can't lift you anymore." The man wasn't sure if he had made a sound; his severe injuries had long since rendered him deaf. His vision gradually darkened. He turned his head, looking out over the mountains. Ah... It seems...? She couldn't see the dawn rising. "This time, I'm not holding you in my phone." She pressed her lips to him, but missed, falling face-first into the earth. Just like Solarion's unchanging nature, the light of dawn rose from the darkness, the colors of day and night falling on her face, tracing paths across the earth and her features. "... I haven't finished telling the story from last time." She picked up her hat, put it on, donned ill-fitting men's clothing, and rubbed her hands incessantly, like a clumsy magician. Let's start from the end. Later, the hero climbed to the mountaintop and called out to the dawn, "Dawn, I borrowed a ray of light from you during the day, and I don't know how to return it to you." The hero searched through his treasures, which shone brightly in the setting sun. "Hero, you have already returned the light to me. When the sun shines, your crystalline soul is like the most beautiful gemstone; I have received your radiant light." Her words were mumbled, but she continued to tell the ancient story, her hands, red from rubbing, clutching the corner of her coat tightly. "I am not the dawn, but 'you are my hero'."
