Estella looked in the direction where Kigami and Kimoko had disappeared, following their path to Nokta. She placed her hands on her heart.

“I don’t know what’s next. But I’ll do everything I can not lose what I have now… You, my friendship with Estella, what connects us. If that means I have to break a few rules, then so be it. I want to give you a chance to be happy again, and even if you hate me for what I do, I’ll do it.”

Kimoko couldn’t help but look into his eyes. She saw determination in them, but also a little pain. She knew he felt torn, but she was certain of one thing: he was willing to sacrifice everything to save them, their world, and what had changed between them.
“You don’t have to do this. You know you don’t. There’s another way. The true way…” her voice became quieter, more gentle, her gaze full of hope. “We can find another way. Together.”

“I wish it were that simple…” he replied, but there was a softness to his voice now, as if he was ready to accept that perhaps she was right.
Kimoko looked at him with determination, refusing to be convinced by his plans. “We will not be drawn into the darkness, Kigami. We must preserve our humanity, no matter how difficult it may be.”
“I wish you were right,” he finally said, but his eyes never left the horizon, and the sight of Nokta was drawing ever closer.

“Why didn’t you just kill him when you had the chance?”
Nikita shuddered slightly, then turned to leave the room. Before she slammed the heavy door shut behind her, she said, looking over her shoulder, “Koshei makes this all the more… exciting. That’s the only reason I didn’t kill him back then.”
