The execution platform stands in the center of the square. Soldiers surround it, their rifles ready. Chloe is bound at the wrists, standing calmly despite the tension in the air. Adonis is held down nearby by imperial guards, struggling against their grip. Adonis: “Let her go! Please—stop this! Chloe!” He tries to break free, but the guards force him down. Adonis: “Don’t do this! She didn’t do anything! Chloe, say something—use magic! You can escape!” Chloe looks toward him. Instead of fear, her expression is gentle and warm. Chloe: “Adonis… calm down.” Adonis: “How can I calm down?! They’re going to kill you!” He struggles harder, his voice shaking. Adonis: “Run! Please, Chloe… just run!” Chloe softly shakes her head. Chloe: “Adonis… listen to me.” The soldiers around the platform raise their weapons while Emperor Goethe watches quietly. Chloe: “Don’t hate people.” Adonis stares at her in disbelief. Adonis: “What are you saying?! They’re the ones doing this!” Chloe: “Humans and witches… we once helped each other. Don’t let this moment take your kindness away.” Adonis’ voice cracks. Adonis: “Stop… don’t talk like that… please…” Chloe smiles at him, the same calm smile she always had when teaching him. Chloe: “You were a wonderful student.” Adonis: “No… don’t say that… Chloe!” The soldiers prepare to fire as the emperor gives the signal to proceed. Chloe keeps her eyes on Adonis. Chloe: “Adonis… thank you.” For a moment everything goes silent. Chloe: “I’m glad… I met you.” Adonis screams her name as the order is carried out, the sound echoing across the square while he struggles against the guards holding him back.
