Today wasn’t supposed to be anything special.

It started like any other day in hiding quiet, tense, and careful. But everything changed the moment the detector led us back toward Yukimori’s remains. That’s where I found him—Kurofangra. A glyph forged from the same eruption as Tuskunai, carrying blades instead of fear, and power instead of hesitation.

He didn’t fight me the way most glyphs do.

He judged me.

And when he chose to come with me… I knew things were about to change.

Bringing him back to the sanctuary wasn’t easy. Even inside his glyphid, I could feel the tension between him and Tuskunai like two storms trying not to collide. And Aura Beak? He felt it immediately. The moment Kurofangra was released, the entire room turned into a silent standoff.

Three different powers.

One space. ...
