Eda came over and say before she begins crying as she reverted back to her normal form, falling to her knees and pulled her dead sister into her embrace.

"No... no." Luz said.

They were there for her, Lilith had nothing to do with this.

"I...I...." Luz said as she began to cry.

"It wasn't your fault kid." Eda said as she gently removed the bolt and closed Lilith's dead eyes.

"It was! They came for me, and now... she's gone." Luz said.

Luz fell to her knees as the Monado returned to her hand, making her look to the sword as she gripped it tightly.

"If I never found t this sword, then Lilith would still be alive." Luz said as she grits her teeth.

"Luz, stop, you didn't do this." Eda said, "Don't lose yourself in anger."

"Well how am I supposed to feel when someone I care about was killed before my eyes!?" Luz shouted at Eda.

Luz got up and went to the woods. She needed to calm down. Coming to a dense area with trees and large stones, Luz breathed heavily before she growled and draw back the Monado!

"RAAAH!" She screamed in rage, destroying everything around her in frustration!

Trees, she burned to ash. Rocks, she disintegrated with light blast. Everything was destroyed until she just broke down and cried.

'Lilith, I'm so sorry.' Luz thought as she stabbed the Monado in the ground before her, dropping to her knees and leaning her head against it.

"Why did I have to find this damn sword?" She asked.

"Because you are the only one worthy enough to wield it."

Luz looked up and saw Eda.

"What are you doing here?" Luz asked.

"I'm here for you, kid." Eda said as she kneeled next to Luz and pulled her into a hug. "I said I don't blame you for what happened to Lily, so you shouldn't blame yourself."

"But it's still-" Luz said before Eda covered her mouth.

"Still nothing. You are not to blame, end of story." Eda said as she continued to hug Luz.

"Can... can we go home?"

"Sure, kid." Eda said as she picked up Luz, deciding to carry her back home as the Monado turned back into a necklace.

She brought Luz inside and put her on the couch. It didn't take long for Luz to fall asleep. Eda put a blanket over her and kissed her head.

"Sweet dreams kid." Eda said as she headed to the front door, where Lilith had a blanket over her with her staff by her side. "And.... goodbye Lily. I'll make your you get a proper burial."

She grabbed Lilith's staff and looked at it.

"Mom and Dad will probably want this... I don't know if I'm ready to do this, but I don't have a choice."

Steeling her nerves, Eda used the magic in Lilith's staff to lift her body from the ground and wrap it up in the blanket properly.

"It's too early for this." Eda said as she flew with Lilith's body towards her old home.

Eda wouldn't be back until late in the afternoon, right as Luz woke up from her emotional nap. Luz woke up and heard crying, seeing Eda enter the house.

"Eda?" Luz asked.

"Hey, kid." Eda said as she wiped away her tears. "Just got back from my parents, real emotional."

"Are you okay?"

"Y-y-yeah, I'm fine, just... going to be a little sad for a while."

"Yeah....me too." Luz said with a nod as Eda sat down next to her.

"Listen Kid, I want you to get out of the house for a few days." Eda said, "Go spend time with your girlfriends. If there's one thing, I know from this, it can make you realize that you aren't immortal. Go enjoy these days while they last."

"Are you sure?" Luz asked her.

"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine." Eda said as she tussled Luz's hair.

"Okay." Luz said.

She got up and went to the door, sending one last look at Eda, who was looking at the ground, and left.

"Lily.... I should've said this more but.... I forgive you." Eda said.
