Nivalis also had snow stored in her Gacha Machine. Rita just hadn't used it yet since she ran into Byme right after entering the game.
Now, she simply sat down by the roadside and made two snowmen, one for Cinders and one for herself.
Summer Snowman was a rewind skill. It only affected the user's state, reverting all conditions to what they were two minutes ago. It didn't alter time itself.
Even so, Rita tested it first.
After confirming it worked, she made one for Cinders as well.
There was a difference though.
The snowman she made for herself had nine rewinds.
The one she made for Cinders only had eight.
That was already after she drew their respective soul flame marks on both snowmen's foreheads.
Rita held her own snowman and studied it for a long time.
Cinders asked, "What's wrong?"
"I've been able to make nine-rewind snowmen for a long time now," Rita said. "But it's still just nine… Maybe I still don't understand myself well enough."
