As though drawn by the knight’s gaze, the girl could not help but turn and look in the same direction as him.
And so — the girl gazed upon despair.
What she saw was darkness.
It was an infinitesimally thin, yet unfathomably deep blackness. It was a half-oval of obsidian that seemed to protrude from the earth. It was a mysterious sight that filled the ones watching it with a powerful sense of unease.

And in the moment that it resolved itself in her eyes—
“Hiiiiiiii!”
—A deafening shriek came from the girl.
It was an opponent humanity could not overcome.
