The hunter stabbed himself with a glowing dagger.
Light burst outward.
The shadow form shattered.
Kaito collapsed.
The hunter limped away.
"You're not ready yet, Eclipse Child."
Silence returned.
Silver Eyes knelt beside Kaito.
"You must master it."
Kaito's voice trembled.
"It felt good."
She closed her eyes.
"That's what terrifies me."
