Lute turns her gaze away from Vaggie and looks at the ceiling.

"You didn't know that when I tried this all before.."

The woman formed black fire in her hand, which she threw to the floor, but it didn't burn anything.

"My dreams were too hard to defend
And in the end I won't lose it all again.. Now you're the only thing worth fighting for.."

For a moment, Lute sees Vaggie surrounded by celestial spears, but she pushes them away.

"More than anything... more than anything... for you I'll fight... more than anything... - she sang as she embraced Vaggie, this time more gently.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about protecting me all the time.."

"I wouldn't forgive myself if they destroyed you... " Lute turned halfway. "just like... me... "

"Mom..."

"When as a child, I didn't know much about you... at all I always felt so small.."

Vaggie remembers when she was a child and sneaked into a room of Lute's that wasn't filled with cat plushies at that time. The woman saw her daughter encouraging her to sit with her.

"But I heard your stories and I was enthralled.."-

They both remember how she saw a golden snake intertwined with an apple and an angel emerging with two pairs of wings.

"The tales about your lofty dreams, I listened breathlessly, Imagining it could be me.."-

In the memory, they see a brown-haired man in red and gold clothing with red horns with golden tips, holding little Vaggie in his arms.

"And in the end, it was you who inspired me... "

They both remember how the man took Vaggie out of the room; the latter recalled that Lute's gaze didn't seem to agree with that... but she didn't muster the courage to say or do anything.

"You became an example for me..."

"More than anything... - Vaggie looks at her friends.

"more than anything."

Now she sees Charlie, who was looking at her with a smile.

"For me and for my people, I will protect you all..!"

She proclaimed, turning to see her mother with a more positive demeanor.

At first, Lute looked doubtful, but then she smiled; that fighting spirit was undoubtedly familiar to her... it was her own.

"I yearn to see you grow and succeed... "
Lute wiped away some tears.

"I see it the same way.."

Mother and daughter begin to draw closer.

"I see something familiar in you..."

"A little late... "

Lute wipes away a tear, and they both smile.

"I'm so sorry. "

They take each other's hands.

"I just wish for a new beginning... we deserve it! We won't be separated! "

In Lute's hands, black fire forms; she throws it at the ceiling, opening a portal as they both spread their wings.
