"In fact, on that sunny afternoon, it was you who walked out of the shadow cast by the past on your soul."

"Although you have not yet integrated into a strange and new world, and although you do not yet know where to go in the future, you will no longer hold back your steps for sorrow and pain, nor will you dwell in fantasy for a long time for momentary joy."

"To me, this falls under the category of ability"

"However, even if it is a fantasy dream, as long as the dreamer has the intention, the thread connecting reality and reality will not be easily broken."

Su explained.

"Ah……"

"yes……"

"It has always been there."

Kevin put his palms on his chest.

After saying that, only the music box that Kevin gave to little Gracie was left on the table. He and Su also disappeared together.

……

【Bronya:"Even though it’s fake, Kevin and Sue’s emotions are real"】

【Padofelis:"Finally we have to say goodbye. Even though it's just a dream, I'm still very reluctant to say goodbye."】

【Alicia:"Gratio is very brave. She is more afraid of Kevin and the others leaving than anyone else, but she also understands that she cannot be trapped here forever."】

【Himeko:"She will break the current deadlock and wake up"】

【Aponya:"Hua is still waiting for her outside."】

……

The white door appeared in front of little Gratio

"In the end, we are the only ones left"

"Mr. Knight."

Little Gracie came to the studio.

The painting suddenly appeared and rushed straight towards little Grati.

But just when the painting was about to rush in front of little Grati, it suddenly stopped.

It was as if the space was frozen.

"That's enough, ma'am, lamb"

"Next, leave it to me and Mr. Knight."

After that, Xi Zuo disappeared.

She walked through the white door again and came to the knight's side.

"Mr. Knight, I'm back."

Little Gratitude said hello.

"Welcome back, Gratius. Did your farewell... go well? asked the knight

"It went smoothly, everyone has disappeared."

Little Gracie replied very calmly.

"this……"

"This is really... an unprecedented situation."

The knight was a little surprised.

"Maybe, this is just the beginning"

"Mr. Knight, do you still remember how we got to this day?" little Gratius asked

"I remember. After the Ark returned, we first lived with Kevin and Su for a month."

"Immediately afterwards, we went on a year-long trip - when passing through China, we met Danzhu and Cangxuan by chance, and accepted their invitation to come to Taixu Mountain and stay for a while."

"During this period, something must have happened to put you and me into a situation where we cannot escape today."

The knight said slowly

"……But that's not the truth"

"After saying goodbye to everyone, I remembered more details about today, and I was finally able to understand what made today possible."

"Um?"

Little Gratio's words surprised the knight a little.

"In reality, Grexiu had made her future direction clear before leaving Taixu Mountain, and she really followed through on her words soon after."

Little Gracie explained

"She... decided to continue the Ark plan?"

The knight guessed

"Um. After that, Gratius boarded the repaired ark again and started sailing along a new route"

"However, one day a long, long time later, a powerful force captured Ark and trapped her in a dormant chamber."

"The jade pendant she cherished was also accidentally dropped during the process and disappeared."

"Although she still has me, she is the only one on this ship from beginning to end."

"When her consciousness sank into darkness little by little, I, who usually had the lightest color, had a spiritual entity for the first time."

"But I can't be happy because I am her loneliness and helplessness; the more complete I am, the less I can represent Gratius"

"In order to protect her, I used all the colors I got from her to isolate the invasion of darkness; supplemented by other colors she usually accidentally got on me, I created her favorite day"

"I know that once I do this, I will forget everything because I will lose my original color."

"So, at the end, I also left some exercises to prevent accidents"

"However, I didn’t expect that these colors—and perhaps the unknown ingredients mixed into them—would later distort the original intention of my creation.……"

"It blurs the weight of like without permission, and casts a permanent filter on one day."

"And what happens after that...(dacb) will be exactly the same as you know"

"……The real Gracie."

Little Gracie calmly said words that were incomprehensible.

……

【Kiana:"Is this...is this another personality of Gracie? It's like what the monitor said……"】

【Leiden Meiyi:"Could it be that she is the Marvin that Gracie said?"】

【Ji Zi:"It's possible that Graciu created another personality on the Ark to accompany him."】

【Padophyllis:"So lonely, Gratio"】

【Fu Hua:"If it weren’t for this, Graciu might not even be able to hold on now."】

【Hollander:"So, now Graciu is a consciousness of Graciu himself, and he is also a friend on the Ark."】

【Herrscher of Knowledge:"She wants to save Gratius?"】

……

"I don't understand what you are talking about, I... am your creation... a knight. Shouldn't it be like this?"

It tells itself

"You just used a color similar to the mark to create a protective shell for yourself."

"In other words...it's just because we are here and can't become one that things become like this"

"Having said that... I don't know how the real mark would speak."

"Because you were still young at that time and didn’t have the rich colors we have now."

"But...I know how Gretius talks now."

"After all, who knows you best—of course it’s me who has been with you since the Ark set sail."

Crack.

It seems that something has cracked somewhere.

And the vivid colors that have always surrounded its armor finally flowed in along this crack.

That's right. In this day after day battle, In the dream, there was a being who was always aware of the passage of time.

But in contrast...she was deprived of her own memory by a mysterious external force.

And she finally remembered everything.——

"Who are you……"

"My gray? Marvin?"

The knight's voice changed and turned into the voice of a mature Gracie.

"Have you finally remembered?"

"However, until I take back all the colors, you should call me pure white."

"After all, my current personality is much more positive than gray."

"And, it’s more like the person you used to be."(If you want to read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Pure White Graceu explained

……

【Alicia:"Have you used colors to weave different versions of yourself?"】

【Padofelis:"Multiple personalities appear!"】

【Bronya:"I talk to myself"】[]

【Kiana:"The knight's voice, is this the grown-up Gratius?"】

【Raiden Meiyi:"It should be so, Pure White Graciu awakened Graciu"】

【The Herrscher:"It turns out that the knight is Gratius's true form."】

……

"Pure white, I think you are right"

"In the face of absolute power, at what seemed like the last moment...despite the long journey, I just subconsciously called for my father and mother, trying to hide behind them."

"This heavy armor... it may have weakened my fear, but it has also diluted my self-awareness and memory."

"So, on the first day, Gratius, who became a knight, met the pure white Marvin. replied the knight

"But that's not your fault. That force we all feel—it’s the culprit."

Pure white Gracie responded.

"Ah, you misunderstood"

"To this day, I still think... that day in the fantasy world was indeed an extremely happy day"

"Although this kind of happiness is destined to become thinner and thinner as it is repeated"

"I have tried to tell the part of the truth that I know and seek your help; or to take you directly away from Taixu Mountain... but the result has not made any difference."

"The moment I reveal the truth, the second I step out of Taixu Mountain, that power will restart everything immediately."

"What's worse is that after I made various attempts, you also fainted for no reason the next day, and no matter how much I called, you couldn't wake up."

The knight confided slowly

"……Just like today, right?"

Pure White Gracie asked

"Um. Because going through this, I realized that if this is also a side effect of the cycle...then I can never stand strong against the cycle"

"So, I started to use my characteristics of being independent of loops and able to retain memories to guide you to think about leaving."

"I think if you have the idea of ​​leaving, maybe the cycle will break itself."

"……Unfortunately, such attempts were unsuccessful"

"This also gradually convinced me of one thing: since we cannot end the cycle no matter what, that power can only exist outside of today."

"Maybe it is some kind of device, maybe it is some kind of ability; it is outside today, and we have nothing to do about it. but……"

"Precisely because it is outside of today... Therefore, no matter what it is, it is impossible for today to always be today - if we give up completely, we will play into its hands."

The knight continued to tell

……

【Kiana:"It turns out that Graciu knows it and has been working hard"】

【Theresa:"It's a pity that she alone can't break this cycle. She also needs to make Pure White Gratius realize it.""】

【Padofelis:"No wonder, I always felt that the knight was guiding me intentionally or unintentionally."】

【Raiden Meiyi:"This cycle should have been broken by now, right?"】

【Herrscher of Consciousness:"It may be broken, but I don’t know whether it can be revived."】

【Teresa:"Damn it, who created this cycle for Gratius?"】

【Youlandel:"No, that's not right. It must have been something that happened before the Ark fell."】

……

"So, even if no one knows the truth, even if no one can help you, even if what makes you persevere is just a guess……"

"……Every day, you guide me without leaving any trace, trying to wait for the opportunity for change in this gentle way."

Pure White Graceu said seriously

"Ah... I'm not that determined"

"Think about it, I even thought I was the Mr. Knight who didn’t exist in reality."

"On a day long ago, I also planned to remain silent, not to guide your thoughts, and enjoy the happiness of being with my friends like I did on the first day."

"……But I can't do it after all"

"I still can't control myself from worrying about your condition and thinking about our future"

"And those troubles hidden under the armor are also seen by you."

"You say, because I'm unhappy, you're not that happy either"

"So, in order to take you to experience true happiness, I decided to hold on a little longer."

The knight explained

"……I see"

"When you walked out of Kevin's house... you must have had a similar mood, right?"

"That day, you just suddenly felt that the sun was just right outside and you should go for a walk"

"then………You started traveling around the world."

Pure white Graceu said with a smile.

"yes"

"It's sunny outside, it's time for us to wake up"

The soldier picked up the pure white Grace

"Is it possible to fail even this time?"

Pure White Gracie asked

"Um"

"Even if you fail this time, I will be with you……"

"Know that we all see the real sun……"

As soon as the words fell, the pure white Gracie disappeared, turning into light and sinking into the knight's body.

All the old shadows, all the dreams, all the joys, all the sorrows are stagnant in the soft white light.

Like the silent universe, like the silent stars.

The knight embraced solitude; and thereby found himself.

In the dormant chamber, the grown-up Gracie opened her eyes.

She sat up holding her head

"What a long dream……"

……

【Alicia:"Gratio has not only matured, but also grown up!"】

【Padofelis:"It’s been so many years, it’s time to grow up."】

【Theresa:"The cute little girl finally became a beautiful girl"】

【The Herrscher of Knowledge:"Hmm, I finally woke up, Gratius."】

【Kiana:"There is no longer little Gracie. Gracie has finally grown up."】

【Youlandel:"And I woke up peacefully. Everything seems to be going in a good direction."】
