For My Derelict Favorite

What becomes of a story once it reaches its promised happily-ever-after? Hestia, who found herself transported into her favorite novel as a minor background character, was content to cheer from the wings. She assumed that when the final chapter closed, she would simply return home. Instead, all that awaited her was the heartbreaking demise of the very character she adored most. Now, granted a miraculous second chance on the very day of that tragic ending, Hestia resolves to step out of the shadows—this time, she will save her forsaken favorite.
