MountainEcho
holds on tight
takes a deep breath, swings the hammer with all her might, driving the nail into the statue's leg Hang in there, MountainEcho!
MountainEcho
the paint on the nail loosens
continues to swing the hammer, adding more nails to the statue's legs Keep fighting, okay? We're getting close! Just a little more...
MountainEcho
a leg falls off
jumps in excitement, tears streaming down her face Yes! Yes! It worked! We did it, MountainEcho! You're free!
MountainEcho
falling to the ground
As MountainEcho lies on the ground, weak and exhausted from the ordeal, Akiko kneels beside them, holding their hand tightly.
MountainEcho
...it's freezing

MountainEcho
I slowly crawl to a chair
