[Each block makes the corrupt Aether angrier and angrier-- but with a deft hand, Xiao severs the wings. He cries out in agony, but no blood falls, as the wings simply burn off and disintegrate once separated from Aether's soul.]
[But that just leaves Aether himself, who falls down to the ground just as Lumine rushes over. And as the corruption burns away, so too do Aether's true feelings come out, as he tearfully looks up at Lumine, a hand weakly reaching out to her.]
Why... if you're... really out there...
Why haven't you found me?
[But Lumine doesn't speak. Because ultimately, she's not real. And so she stands, shooting on last gaze back at Xiao, before the bright red cubes of the God from before suddenly overtake her, and then Aether--]
[And then, rather suddenly, Xiao will find himself ejected from Aether's soul -- both of them back in Takamagahara, where Aether lays flat on his back, panting and caked in sweat. The corruption is gone.]
