Chapter 32 - Determine the destiny

The sky was dark and grim, and the wind howled fiercely, carrying with it the scent of memories from the past and dreams of the future. Celine stood before the great door of the old asylum, staring at it with eyes filled with determination and sorrow. In her hand, Lilia clutched her tightly, as if bidding her farewell on the brink of a battle whose ending was unknown.

Inside the asylum, dim lights danced across the crumbling walls, and whispers blended with the echoes of a mysterious past. They moved forward together, each step drawing them closer to the truth, yet also opening doors to pain and fear.

They reached the secret control room, where old machines and flickering screens displayed fragments of Lilia's untold memories. There, they confronted the man in the black coat, who held the key to the final secret.

He spoke in a calm voice:"

_The truth is not only what the eye sees, but what you choose to believe. Lilia is not merely a child, but a symbol of a power the world cannot control."

Celine faced him and said firmly:"

_I will not allow you to use her as a weapon. Lilia deserves a free life, not to be a pawn in your hands."

Their gazes met, heavy with tension. Suddenly, the lights went out, and darkness engulfed the place. When the light returned, Lilia was standing before them, her eyes glowing with a power she had never known before.

Lilia spoke softly, yet with confidence:"

_I am not just a child… I am more than that. And I will choose my own destiny."

Celine smiled, took her hand, and said:"

_Together, we will write our ending."

With those words, a new chapter began… a chapter of freedom, a chapter of truth, a chapter of redemption.
