That night, Silver Eyes' visions shattered.
She saw timelines collapsing one by one.
Every previous Devourer ended in ruin.
But Kaito's path no longer followed any of them.
"You broke the cycle," she whispered.
Kaito sat alone atop the ruins, staring at the fractured eclipse.
"I can feel them," he said quietly.
"The other Lords."
"Yes."
"They're coming."
Silver Eyes stepped closer.
"You're changing."
He didn't deny it.
"Am I still human?"
She looked into his eyes.
There was still warmth there.
Faint.
"Yes," she said.
"But the world may not survive long enough to find out."
In the sky—
Another gate began to open.
