'I-Is it done? Am I finally free from that dungeon? Finally! It felt like it would never end.'
Selene won't say she was nervous, but she could still feel her legs shaking. Confronting her father was something she never did, even in her dreams.
And yet, here she was - not only speaking up against her father but also breaking free of the illusion.
"I need to pull myself together and focus on why I am here."
Selene turned and realized she was the only one who had reached the dungeon's core.
No one else had managed to break free from their illusions. Around her, there was nothing but empty space, where the others should have been.
She frowned, glancing back.
She felt sorry for them, trapped in whatever visions had ensnared their minds. But she also knew—this was a solo trial.
She couldn't help them.
They had to fight their own battles.
Selene sighed, then turned forward. She had no choice but to move on alone.
