   Summary

   Remember us… Remember that we once lived…
   My pain! My longing! You shall have it ALL!
   This world is not yours to end. This is our future. Our story.

   This tragedy… Greater even than the Seventh Umbral Calamity… Must be undone.
   If history must be unwritten… Let it be unwritten!

   Come, let me relieve you of your burden... You have suffered enough.

   ———

   In the present, the Warrior of Light has lost too much. There is no path forward. Yet ever does she forge ahead—Even if it means going backwards.

   And what better place to start than at the Vault?

   ———

   Uses a female WoL named Cagalli Athha.
