[Lobotomy Corporation E.G.O::Light of the Final Match] Klee
"Klee will share her treasure with you." Klee lifted her innocent, smiling face, full of the Fleeing Sunlight's most unreserved warmth and radiance.
"Big sister, flames aren't supposed to turn you into ashes. They should go bang and turn into super pretty sparks that fly in the sky."
"Let's not burn ourselves anymore. Let's use this to go blast fishing together, okay? The fish we blast out smell so good!"
(Fish: Don't our lives matter? We'll show you Distortion.)
(Pigeon: Feed me peanuts.)
Scorched Girl stared blankly down at the red bomb with a smiling face painted on it at her feet.
It contained a terrifying amount of explosive energy, yet the little girl before her treated it as a toy for spreading joy and had shared it with her without reservation.
She no longer needed to destroy herself in exchange for others' fearful gazes.
Because this little girl with a head full of explosions had accepted her.
Two clear tears slid from Scorched Girl's hollow eye sockets, leaving two white streaks on her charred cheeks.
The match she held, a symbol of destruction, went out completely with a puff.

Scorched Girl's body dissolved into countless warm, fiery-red motes of light, gently circling Klee like dancing fireflies.
In the light, Klee's red adventurer's dress underwent a striking transformation: a layer of dark red patterns burning like embers appeared along the edge of its skirt.
And in her hands, the once-tiny Jumpy Dumpty vanished, replaced by a terrifying cannon two heads taller than Klee herself, its barrel shaped like a giant match.

"Wow!" Klee excitedly raised the heavy cannon, little stars of extreme danger sparkling in her eyes.
"If I use this super big spark cannon to blast the fish in Starfell Lake, I'll definitely get lots and lots of grilled fish!"
Paimon poked her head out from behind a rock. At the sight of Klee holding the heavy cannon, she was so frightened that she stammered:
"Li-Liangzi... did you just give the most dangerous little troublemaker in the City of Mondstadt a weapon that could blast the entire Whispering Woods flat?"
Wei Zhenzu covered his face and crouched on the ground in anguish, already picturing Acting Grand Master Jean going berserk and cutting people down.
"We're doomed. Forget setting the mountains on fire-now Klee can blow Stormterror's Lair away with one shot. Grand Master Varka, you really can't blame me for this!"

Crack... crackle-!
The enormous blue demon flower that had been lurking in the deepest part of the cavern suddenly made a sound like ice shattering.
The Cryo Regisvine's massive stem and roots suddenly convulsed, and two enormous frost-covered petals burst open. A biting wind filled with icicles swept through the enclosed underground space like a blizzard.
"Oh no, the heat woke up the big ice flower!"
The gale tossed Paimon about in midair. She clung to Wei Zhenzu's neck and shouted,
"It sealed the entrance! How are we going to get out?"
Wei Zhenzu looked at the rock walls rapidly freezing around them and cursed inwardly.
He immediately reached into the void to draw a new Identity and withstand the ice storm head-on. "Klee, Paimon, get behind me! I'll cover you..."
"Don't be scared, big brother! Klee will protect you!"
Behind him, Klee excitedly took a great step forward.
An unprecedented frenzy sparkled in the little girl's gemlike eyes. Grunting with effort, she raised the enormous match cannon, which stood two heads taller than she did, and deftly aimed it at the Cryo Regisvine's enormous core.
"Wait, Klee! That thing's power-"
Before Wei Zhenzu could finish, Klee had already pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Super-duper-big spark!"
