Seraphine lands on planet Kuruyami and gazes at the remains of the temple, a somber reminder of Malgarius's destructive rampage. She takes a moment to pray for Zenithar, the fallen guardian.
Seraphine: I'm sorry I couldn't save you. I hope you've found peace in the afterlife.
While paying her respects, Seraphine notices a peculiar figure—blue-skinned, slender, with black hair and horns. Dressed in an unexpected business outfit, he waves her over. Curious, she approaches.
Mysterious Figure: Greetings, Seraphine. I've been expecting you. Follow me.
He opens a portal to the Underworld, revealing a surreal landscape with yellow clouds beneath and a purple sky above. A massive palace looms in the distance, and that's where Seraphine's enigmatic companion leads her.
Upon entering the Underworld, they encounter a line of spirits waiting for judgment. A guard directs them with an otherworldly announcement.
Guard: All souls, please remain in line and approach judgment in an orderly fashion. And, of course, no cutting. Thank you!
Guided by her new companion, Seraphine stands in line, awaiting her turn for judgment. The unique energy within her draws attention, hinting at a destiny that extends beyond the Underworld.
