"Charge, Kiana!"
"Kiana's growth... this time, she's truly grown."
"Herrscher of Flamescion! Holy shit, this is a Herrscher unlike any before—a Herrscher who truly feels like she stands on humanity's side."
"The long night may be dark, but there will always be someone who becomes the torch."
"The flames of Flamescion burn eternal, passed down from one to the next!"
"The road home... When the wings of hope have fully grown, bid farewell to yesterday!"
"Himeko gazes at you gently, saying nothing more."
"Aaaaaahhhhhh—Himeko, teacherrrrrr!"
"I've lost it! I've really lost it, aaaaaahhh!"
"Go, Kiana! Turn this imperfect story into the one you want!"
"Fight for all that is beautiful in the world!!!"
In the real world, countless people cried once again.
Though they had already shed tears many times, seeing Fu Hua and Bronya help Kiana, seeing Murata Himeko smile silently amid the flames before vanishing, shattered the defenses of countless viewers and left them utterly overwhelmed.
Without a doubt, Kiana's transformation, becoming the Herrscher of Flamescion and defeating her enemy, was an incredibly stirring moment. At this moment, people ought to have been awestruck by her victory and fired up with passion.
Yet for the people of the real world, there was only emotion—genuine emotion, without even a trace of falsehood.
Through her own efforts, struggles, and perseverance, Kiana had made one person after another stand at her side and give everything to help her.
Murata Himeko was the quintessential example. This teacher had turned all that she was into a spark, illuminating the road ahead for Kiana.
And beneath the light of that spark, Kiana had continued to grow, continued to temper her heart, until she finally became a brand-new flame herself—one that illuminated the path ahead and lit up the world for others as well.
