Flameral loves two things, her job and Gion.

Lumaki sa pangangalaga ni Madam Petula, wala siyang hindi gagawin para sa ikalulugod nito. Whether it's to con, steal, or kill, she will do it in a heartbeat. Flame's always the obedient one, the scariest, and the heartless, as most of them say.

Pero pagdating kay Gion, mabilis na nag-iiba ang anyo ng babae. He never knew her dark side because she never showed it to him. Ayaw niyang mabahiran ang magandang imahe na ipininta niya sa pananaw nito. All she wants is for him to see her as the caring and loving Flameral.

But as her missions keeps on getting dangerous, she knows that she'll have to drop it one day or leave Gion alone in this cruel world.

Flameral will never choose the latter.

And so, "One last time," she promised to herself "Just one last mission and I'll settle down."

But her wishful thinking to finish this mission smoothly might never happen. Especially when she recognized those sardonic and dark obsidian eyes that reminds her of that one burning night.
