She spent her whole life having her strength drained away, and in the end died at sixteen.

She thought everything had ended like that.

But when she opened her eyes, she had returned to the past.

A life as a sacrifice, begun again.

She thought she would suffer only pain again and die once more this time too.

Then a father she had never seen suddenly appeared before her.

A father who, like her, had not known of her existence at all.

“When are you going to take my power?”

At Ivana’s words, Dante’s eyes shook violently.

“Everyone else did. When are you going to take it?”

“...I won’t take it.”

“Why?”

Ivana couldn’t understand. Everyone coveted her power.

They all wanted her, calling her a sacrifice sent by God for the sake of humanity.

So why was this person refusing?

“No one will ever take your power again. No one will ever bully you again. I’ll protect you.”

“You mean you’re going to take my power.”

“I said I won’t...”

“Everyone said that too, but they took my power away. They locked me in a prison.”

It was too cruel to be words spoken by a child of only five years old. But young Ivana’s face held no emotion at all. As if that were only natural.

Seeing his daughter, completely broken, Dante finally collapsed completely.
