It was so beautiful.

A royal castle. And she was caring for the citizens of the kingdom. She was their saint, able to cure the people of their injuries and afflictions simply by laying a hand upon their heads. And they loved her, their saint—their Reina—because of it.

“Glory to Maiden Reina!”

“Thank you, Our Lady!”

They praised her; they thanked her. She felt so elated. A moment ago she had been under the impression that she was something else, not this. But no, everything here was happy.

So many supplicants had come for the Lady’s blessing that they had been forced to from a line. One, a mother holding a child in her arms, had tears in her eyes as she begged for Reina’s mercy.

“My Lady, my child has been hurt and no medicine will cure her. Won’t you please help?”

“Yes, of course.”

Reina placed her hand on the child’s head, which then swelled with brilliant light, and a moment later the injuries were healed.

“Thank you, My Lady…! What can I ever do to repay you?”

“No need; I just did what was right.”

The mother and child went away.

But Reina could feel someone’s eyes fixated upon her. She turned to look. A young woman was standing there.

“…Huh?”

For some reason, the woman’s presence filled Reina with nervous dread.

“Who are you…?”

She was dressed in rough, muddy clothing that had no place in a beautiful castle such as this. She seemed desperate to speak to Reina, rushing forward with such momentum that for a moment Reina was afraid she was going to snatch her up. The woman had come with a request.

“Ah, are you…?”

Reina gulped as she saw the tears welling up in the woman’s eyes. She should have been used to tears by now.

“I… I’m sorry; I can see you’re in pain, but you still need to wait in line—”

“I know you’ve had it tough.”

The young woman’s voice sounded as if it was coming from somewhere far away. Reina took a step back.

“I—I don’t want it to be any harder for you.”

Reina could sense the mud-stained woman’s urgency. It felt so out of place here. It made Reina uneasy.

“Your name is Reina Asakura. And this world…”

Reina Asakura—she had never heard that name before in her life, and yet somehow she knew it well. Reina’s eyes widened.

This world.

“This warm and beautiful world is an illusion that you created.”

“What…?”

It took Reina a moment to process this. She wasn’t sure what to say.

An illusion? She must have misheard. That wasn’t possible.

“I’m here to end the illusion.”

“You’re what…?”

Inside her blissful, saccharine dream, Reina heard something falter within herself.

A voice had come to destroy it all, this perfect world where no one ever caused her pain.

“Open your eyes, Reina. You need to see what you’re doing. This isn’t a dream—you’re not helping people like you think you are. If this goes on, things will be so much worse!”

There was a noise, high-pitched, like something had just cracked. The same sound a glass makes when dropped onto the floor. But it wasn’t a piece of glass that had cracked—it was something much more beautiful and fragile.
