"I don't need these things, you should keep them for yourself."

"Oh, okay."

Sakura seemed to have long been used to Kalpas's tone, or rather, everyone in the courtyard had become accustomed to Kalpas; Kalpas was cold on the outside but burning inside.

Yaqing tilted her head and looked at Mobius.

Why are you looking at me?

Mobius frowned.

"How could I be like Elysia? I've never cried since I was born, and you can forget about seeing me cry!"

Mobius stands with his hands on his hips.

Yaqing's lips curled up. He loved seeing Mobius's stubbornness, and he loved seeing Mobius break down after his stubbornness was exposed.

"Is that so, senior..."

"Certainly!"

"But you cried just last night."

Mobius blushed and said irritably, "Get lost."

Yaqing had no choice but to state the facts.

At the same time, he was also a little curious. Even he himself couldn't bear the plot that was about to unfold. Would Mobius be able to hold back his tears?

Kiana leaned on Mei's shoulder and closed her eyes, seemingly unable to bear watching any longer.

"It's over."

Bronya understood.

Kiana's autism was indeed caused by the later plot, but now she can't avoid it no matter what she wants to do. She can only hope that the tragedy won't be too severe.

Bronya held Seele's hand tightly.

I kept praying in my heart.

But she also knew that if it weren't for the katana, Kiana would never have been driven to this point.

Chapter 417 No one can leave that chocolate door alive!!!

Kiana gazed at the dreamlike door and remained silent for a long time.

"After you leave that door, all of this will disappear, right?"

Kiana's tone was filled with deep reluctance; she wished that Himeko could still be by her side after she left that chocolate-shaped door.

Even though she knew it was just a fragment of consciousness from the Herrscher Core.

"I don't know, but... I guess so."

Himeko's eyes lingered with affection, and she tried hard to control the upward curve of her lips. She wanted Kiana to see a proud smile on her face, a smile that showed Kiana having her as a student, but the smile was so forced.

Her worry and reluctance were almost overflowing.

"Please remember to say goodbye to everyone at St. Freya for me."

"Good..."

Kiana forced back her sobs, and the only word she uttered was practically forced out of her throat.

"Tell Mei that I support her choice, but she can't be so harsh on her friends next time."

"Tell Bronya that I am delighted to see her growth and that she will surely become an excellent leader in the future."

"..."

"Tell Fu Hua that although we will not meet again in the future, St. Freya will always be everyone's class monitor, whether she is still around or not."

"From now on, Theresa will be the only one taking care of you. You all need to be good and not make the headmistress angry. It's best to help her out as much as possible. Don't be fooled by her strong personality; she actually works much harder than us."

"Oh, right, I remember Ragna was also Rita and Durandal's teacher. If there's a chance, let's pass on her legacy to them as well."

Himeko's every word was concerned for others; those were the words she wanted to say but never had the chance to say to them. Kiana's reply was choked with sobs, and she could no longer hold back her tears.

"Finally, tell yourself, Kiana... I will always be by your side."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Kiana truly burst into tears. The usually carefree Brainless Idiot leaned on Mei's shoulder and cried like a child.

Kiana felt that the character's personality, mentality, and emotions were exactly the same as her own, which is why she was able to better understand the heart-wrenching pain she felt in the story.

Mei couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Himeko- sensei..."

Bronya was lost in thought.

None of the people whose names were mentioned by Himeko can escape this fate.

Theresa held onto Himeko tightly and wouldn't let go.

"Himeko!!!"

Himeko deeply felt the headmistress's tears and felt even more strongly that this shirt was unusable, as it was covered in Theresa's tears and snot.

"What a touching teacher-student relationship..."

Vita wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Silence, a deathly silence.

Even the background music disappeared.

"Kiana, don't worry too much about it. Just treat this as a dream."

Kiana's sobs were already uncontrollable, and Himeko gently comforted her with a tender smile.

"When the dream ends, everyone must continue to move forward. Don't be afraid to say goodbye; saying goodbye to the past is to move towards the future."

"I understand, Himeko- sensei... I understand everything..."

Kiana clenched her fists, and the little tune "Nightglow" that appeared in the Final Lesson started playing. Just hearing the intro made Elysia feel a strange heartache, as if an invisible knife had pierced her heart.

"Sorry..."

"I'm sorry... Teacher Himeko... I know... I know I should say goodbye to you with a smile at a time like this, and I should walk through that door with my strength..."

"I know this place is just a remnant of my memories, and reality is where I should go back to... but I still can't help thinking about it..."

Kiana's sobbing was heartbreaking; it was so real that every word was enough to make one's heart tremble. Two lines of clear tears streamed down her cheeks, and her choked voice contained intense emotions.

"As long as I don't step out of that door... will time never pass... will this moment never change...? I won't even have a chance to say goodbye to you..."

"I still have so much to say to you... I haven't fulfilled those promises I made..."

Kiana spoke haltingly, but the sobs and choked words brought tears to the eyes of viewers.

Kiana's growth is still vivid in our minds, but at this moment, under the guidance of Teacher Himeko, that strong warrior has shed her disguise. Even in the most desperate moments, even when facing life and death, she has not shed a single tear, but now she is crying her heart out.

Everyone was moved when they heard Kiana's real crying voice, even Kalpas was no exception. Yaqing had noticed that the sunglasses on Kalpas's face were trembling slightly.

"This is a dream... I know dreams always end..."

Kiana took a deep breath, seemingly trying to suppress her grief.

"I will go back... I will defeat the Herrscher of the Thousand, and I will bring Mei home..."

"The Eleventh Herrscher, the Twelfth Herrscher ... even the Herrscher of the End, I will defeat them..."

"I will transform this imperfect story... into the way we hope it will be..."

"I just... wanted you to see all of this too..."

Kiana finally broke down in tears, sobbing uncontrollably, her pent-up frustration, reluctance, and pain flowing like a child.

It's worth noting that the final cry was so realistic that even Kiana herself couldn't continue recording it, and its impact was unparalleled.

It instantly shattered everyone's defenses.

"Ughhhhh...!"

Elysia burst into tears, her sobs and choked cries evoking a strong protective instinct in anyone who heard them.

Even May and Vill-V were moved.

Yaqing then turned her gaze to Mobius.

Mobius turned his head to the side, but unexpectedly, Yaqing pinched his face back with one hand, her eyes glistening with tears.

Yaqing's expression right now is just like Talking Tom.

Oh dear, you really cried?!

Mobius angrily bit the hand that was pinching Yaqing's face, but luckily Yaqing pulled away quickly.

Inside the Home Theater, sobs could be heard one after another.

No one can escape that door.

Pardo hugged Sakura and cried her heart out, while Ling also hugged Sakura, crying so hard she couldn't even speak.

Sakura's eyes were moist, and Blanca leaned on Hen's shoulder, a tear streaming down her cheek.

Even Su, Kevin, and Hen couldn't hold back, but unlike Pardo and Elysia, they silently wiped away their tears.

Yaqing searched around but couldn't find Kalpas, so he asked Mobius to take care of Griseo first, got up and quietly left the Home Theater. Outside, he encountered Kalpas with his back to him.

"Brother Jie, why are you out here?"

Yaqing asked with "concern".

"Hmph, do I have to tell you when I go to the toilet?"

Kalpas sneered, his tone stiff.

Yaqing knew perfectly well why Kalpas had come out, and said with a smile, "Really? Then can I see your eyes behind your sunglasses?"

Unexpectedly, his words directly triggered Kalpas's reaction.

"Let me tell you! I'm not like those weaklings. If you want to see me cry, I can tell you the answer right now: the next life is just a bunch of fake stories...!"

After Kalpas finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Brother Jie..."

Yaqing's words made Kalpas stop in his tracks.

"Keep watching, I think you're definitely curious about what happens next."

"Boring."

Despite saying that, Kalpas still walked towards the Home Theater.

Gazing at Kalpas Guanmen's figure, Yaqing revealed a mysterious smile once more, muttering to herself.

"Won't you cry...?"

As the incident involving Yaqing and Kalpas occurred, Kiana hugged Mei tightly. Mei could feel Kiana's body trembling and gently patted her back.

This part is extremely damaging.

Kiana's long-suppressed emotions finally erupted.

From her initial willingness to perish in Sky Dome City, during which she underwent her first transformation while trying to save others, to the clown who Theater of Domination tearing open her inner wounds, and finally, when facing the Herrscher of the Void, confronting the despair deep within her heart.

She didn't shed a single tear.

But now, facing the separation from her teacher, she cried, cried like a child.

It was precisely because they witnessed Kiana's growth that they felt such heartache during this scene.

"Kiana... Himeko- sensei..."

Seele was stunned, stunned by the attack, which led to Dark Seele being forced to take over the account.

"Huh? What the hell, Seele, you..."

Although Dark Seele was also touched, her first reaction was to worry about Seele. She only felt relieved when she realized that Seele had simply fallen into a deep sleep.
