"This should have been my last firework with him," she muttered to herself.

Until the final fireworks exploded in the sky. And as she stood beneath the night sky, Celes surrender all the love that was left in her heart along with the fading echoes of the fireworks.

When she was on their home, Celes felt an overwhelming weariness despite not having been physically active during the entire procedure. As she arrived, her eyes fell upon Andros waiting for her, and to her surprise, Szarina was with him.

The sight of Szarina brought back a flood of emotions for Celes. She had not yet moved past the sting of Andros leaving her to tend to Szarina and her son, and now, here Szarina was again. Celes recalled the hurt she felt upon seeing the photos of Andros and Szarina together during the Lunar Month, which Andros' mother had continuously shared in their family group chat. These pictures, filled with moments of Szarina and Andros enjoying the pack’s festivities like some power couple, had been a painful reminder of her exclusion from their family.
