And I don't need you here

And in this world around me

I'm glad you disappeared

So I'll stay out all night

Get drunk and fuck and fight

Until the morning comes I'll

Forget about our life

"World so Cold" -Three Days Grace




Lily hated Layla, for the woman had deluded her into thinking she could become a Mage.

Lily was bitter towards Lucy and Jude, for they betrayed her for Layla.

But Lily wasn't heartless, despite how she has been portraying herself. She didn't actively want someone to die, well except for Layla, nor did she actively jumped at the chance to do something immoral.

Did watching someone kill someone in front of her eyes when she could have prevented that death count as immoral?

"My daughter, Brandish...please...spare her life..in exchange for my own..will you grant me this one final wish? Please...."  Grammi wheezed out, begging for her daughter's life.

Lily froze as the woman's eyes locked with hers, a feeling that Lily wasn't familiar with immediately overcame her.

To Lily, Grammi was more than just Brandish's mother. Grammi was like a surrogate aunt to her. The only one who didn't judge her hate for Layla despite being best friends with Layla.

The one who showed Lily how to clean a Celestial Spirit's key with care.

"Please..." Grammi repeated, but this time she wasn't talking to Zoldeo, she was talking to Lily.

2. You will never hate Lily or condemn her.

Lily blinked back her tears as the contract appeared in front of her and didn't hesitate to say: "I accept."

In response the contract dissolved, but Lily could still feel its weight.
