Specter didn’t know whether to laugh or ery.
Lyra urged him, “Stop staring at mine. Go write yours too p>
Helpless, Specter bent down to input his message.
They stepped onto the high platform. Below them, the crowd shrank down to tiny specks.
Lyra gasped. Her heart hammered fast like a drum.
But the man beside her was far more tense.
“Loosen your grip. You’re crushing my hand p>
Specter dropped his tough act. His voice shook.
“W–we should… pick something else to play instead p>
Once he got out of this, he was deleting this whole game event!
Lyra was scared too, yet she still teased him.
“You can step aside if you’re afraid. I’ll jump alone p>
Specter ached to bolt from this spot right away. Yet he never let go of Lyra’s hand.
His legs shook, but he shook his head.
Lyra typed to soothe him. “I won’t laugh at you anymore. Go wait for me over there p>

Specter shook his head again, his voice trembling. “N–no… What if you fail to trigger the safety in time… you’ll pass out from the fall…
“I can at least… be your… cushion p>
Lyra stared at him quietly for two seconds.
“But you’ll probably black out halfway there yourself p>
Specter had no reply.

He stumbled closer and wrapped his arms tight around her, his fingers locking together like a metal erasp.
He meant to keep his promise, to shield her with his own body.
“Still… can’t let anything happen to you p>
His embrace was a cold, intangible avatar inside the game, no real flesh.
Yet the strong wind blasting upward from below was blocked the moment he stood before her.

Lyra gripped the hem of his cloak with one hand, watching the fabric whip wildly behind his shoulders. With her other hand, stretyped.
“I’ll be fine p>
Once the message was sent, she pulled Specter and leaned forward, falling freely.
The ground vanished beneath them. The world streaked past their eyes. Specter squeezed his eyes shut instantly, his heart ready to leap out of his throat.
Soon he forced his eyes open, glancing at the top of Lyra’s head, then at the jumping platform shrinking far away.
“A–are we almost there p>
Lyra’s lips curved.
Judging by his tone, he was close to tears.
The fierce wind stung her eyes badly. She squinted, gauging their distance to the ground through blurry vision.
The best score in this round was 41.7 feet above the ground.
To win cleanly, they needed to hit under 30 feet.
No answer came from Lyra. Specter hunched his shoulders, half–burying his face against her shoulder.
He bit his lip hard, already bracing for last place.
Tears welled automatically in Lyra’s wind–burned eyes, clouding her sight even more. She wiped them off on Specter’s shirt.
When she lifted her gaze again, the ground rushed straight toward them in the blink of an eye!
Lyra’s breath caught, nearly stopping entirely.
Her hand flew to the safety trigger. She counted silently for two seconds, then pressed it hard!
Hiss!
The device activated. The roaring wind died instantly. Their fall halted, and they floated suspended midair.
Specter’s body went limp, nearly slipping away.
Lyra caught him, and with help from the NPC attendants, they landed safely.
Specter could barely stand, his legs turning wobbly.
Staff helped him off to the side. Lyra’s legs shook too, though she didn’t need assistance.

She walked over and sat beside Specter, who looked utterly shaken.
“You okay p>
Specter’s eyes were hollow. His lips parted.
No sound came out at first.
A weak, groaning voice came through at last. “…I think I’m going to throw up p>
Lyra laughed softly and rubbed his chest gently.
“Want to go AFK and get some water p>

Warmed by her care, Specter stole a’sideways glance at her. He leaned his unsteady weight slowly into her
arms.
Lyra froze for a moment but didn’t push him away.
Specter’s heart still raced with leftover fear, yet sweet warmth bloomed in his chest.
While he caught his breath, the contest results appeared.
A trail of glowing beams shot upward like fireworks and burst open to reveal text across the sky.
“Little Octopus fears heights most of all p>
An insertion mark appeared in the sentence, and a few more words were added in the middle: across the whole grassland.
So the complete sentence read, “Little Octopus fears heights most of all across the whole grassland p>
Beneath it was Specter’s line.
“May the Little Painter always be happy p>
Lyra tilted her head back to read it.
Specter, still “weakly” resting in her arms, watched quietly too.
A smile tugged at his lips when he saw the nickname she’d given him.
Then he spoke. “When did you add those extra words p>
Lyra typed, “While you were typing your message.
“I thought we should be precise, so I set a boundary.
“I didn’t use a real place name. Is that alright p>
She truly didn’t know where that place was; this was the clearest hint she could leave.
Specter hummed softly.

Then he mumbled, “Octopuses don’t even live on grasslands p>
His tone sounded like a soft, playful whine.
Lyra was growing quite skilled at teasing this man who walked straight into her traps,
She patted the top of his head fondly.
“He’s not just for grasslands. This octopus is amazing. He swims in water, runs on land. He can scale walls and leap across rooftops, too. Fear of heights is his only weakness p>
Out of her sight, Specter’s lips curled upward with pride.
“Of course I am p>
With this new clue, the team backstage immediately began covertly checking every star system in search of matching planets.
