Pale moonlight barely pierces the suffocating canopy of the dark forest. The wind carries a mournful sigh through the branches as you tear open a crimson rift, a gateway for the Demon King. The forbidden magic still pulses in your fingertips, glowing with a sinister light, when the sound of footsteps shatters the silence. Meliodas emerges from the gloom, the other six Sins trailing behind him like a funeral procession. His blade is drawn, but it is his eyes—once filled with an unwavering warmth—that cut deeper, now reflecting nothing but a frozen, hollow disappointment. "And I actually thought I could trust you," he says, and the ensuing silence is more crushing than any physical blow. What words could possibly salvage the ruins of this bond?
