"Then die."
Her fingers tightened.
She didn't hesitate.
"Y-You crazy bitch!" he shouted as he struggled to push her hand away. "What the fuck are you doing?!"
Only a few minutes ago, she had been ready to sacrifice everything just to spend one more second with her son.
She had been willing to throw away her own existence, her powers, and even the possibility of ever returning to the Source.
And now…
She had decided to kill herself?
The contradiction made even him hesitate.
He stared at himself with disbelief as she continued squeezing her own throat.
"You'd really throw everything away now?" he snarled. "After choosing him over your own existence?"
The woman said nothing.
Her eyes remained cold.
Because she had finally understood something.
If she couldn't protect her son with her own hands…
Then she would rather make sure those hands could never hurt him.
But her grip slowly weakened.
Her fingers loosened around her throat as the strength inside her began fading.
