Yet deep within her, a fragile hope refuses to be extinguished—the quiet belief that perhaps destiny can still be rewritten. That determination gives her the strength to keep moving forward, even as despair presses in around her. Now, with time slipping rapidly away, Shoko must find a solution before it is too late. Every moment brings the inevitable closer, and the answer she seeks remains just beyond her grasp. As she races against an unyielding future, she fights to save the person she loves from a fate she once believed was set in stone—but can she uncover the answer before the chance is lost forever?
