[Endgame: rise or DROWN]

[How long have you been exploring Nessa's palace now? You've met her family, viewed her memories, learned how to fight as a witch and tried to find the source of her power and the Treasure of her palace: the Voidheart. And along the way, you've tired your best, with mixed success, to avoid the incarnation of her eldest cousin and the representation of her trauma and fear, the Nightmare of Esmau.]

[Wherever you are in the Palace right now, you feel the ground briefly shake under your feet. Little shakes here and there haven't been out of the ordinary - Esmau is trying to blow the place down to the studs, after all. But that felt different. That felt....worse.]

[Your phone beeps as you receive a message.]

[A girl steps out of a cafe, wearing a barista's apron. She squints up at the top of the hill, then her eyes widen in horror.]

That looks like...that's my house! Agnis...!

[She's about to run towards it when something passes in front of her and she stops. For some reason, she's compelled to stop and look at the blue butterfly that just flew in front of her.

She blinks twice at it...and slowly holds a hand out to it. The butterfly lands on her palm.

The girl's eyes widen. She looks up to see someone running down the street, towards her home.]

Wh....who was that...?
