Hinoemata Tamaki: the seventh wing of Fallen Black. Counting Kiryuu, the zeroth wing, and me, the thirteenth, that made Fallen Black a nine-person organization, with her having apparently been the last member to join. She was the newest of newbies—even Umeko had entered the fold before her. The latest member, and the last member, in enough senses of the word to easily render it worthy of italicization.

Her supernatural ability: Lost Regalia, the power to divert the royal road. In other words: the power of regicide. Before Hinoemata Tamaki, any king, regent, or reigning power would be cast down. It was the one and only power capable of opposing Tanaka Umeko, a girl with a balance-shattering power that would never allow her to face defeat who had been born specifically to overcome any and all Players.

Lost Regalia was, in short, a hard counter to anything absolute. In fact, it had very likely been brought into being specifically to prevent System, a power that ran contrary to the very foundational principles of the Spirit War, from bringing said War to a premature end...or, at least, that was Kiryuu’s theory, as relayed to me by Saitou. According to him, it was the Spirit War’s equivalent to how the human body creates antibodies to eliminate invading viruses. The War responded to the presence of an irregular element by introducing an irregular element of its own. I didn’t know how much that theory carried water—and, in fact, I was prepared to call it more of a fantasy than a theory—but Hinoemata’s power just happening to be of a nature that could be described that way was, apparently, an undeniable fact.

“Of course, the whole thing ended with the absolute and her hard counter having never actually come into conflict,” I said to myself. “Or...maybe they did actually fight, and Saitou just didn’t tell me about that part? She said that Umeko died because her lifespan ran out, but maybe that only happened because she used up too much of her power fighting her natural enemy?”

As wild, baseless theories and speculation ran through my mind, I passed through the entryway to my apartment building, returned to my room, dropped off the bag of toys that Saitou had refused to accept, then headed right back out again. I stepped into the elevator and pressed a button—not going down to the first-floor entry hall, but rather, going up this time. Less than ten seconds later, I arrived at the building’s rooftop, which was a garden area surrounded by a tall metal fence. It wasn’t the most beautiful garden you’d ever seen, or the most plain—just a perfectly average collection of flowerbeds—but I wasn’t there for the flowers, anyway. I was there for the boy I found as I advanced through the greenery.

“Hey there. It’s been a while,” I casually called out as I approached him. He was sitting on a bench, eyes glued to a handheld gaming console, and he only barely bothered glancing up from his screen to look over at me.
