That particular chapter is a massive spoiler who turned shay into 2nd best girl after tyr, here it is btw
It was Shay.
She resembled Shay, and it was a place where only Shay could be. Thus, Nebida understood her to be Shay.
“Here it is. The bookmark I placed.”
In other words, she was far too different from Shay.
Her bleached white hair shimmered like light. It was impossible to tell whether her hair was long or short. Her face, serene and detached as if she had transcended life, sparkled with vibrant vitality.
Ephemeral, as if she might vanish at any moment, yet Shay was undeniably there.
She vanished, appeared, laughed, and cried. Shay was both everything and nothing. Even Nebida, who had lived through countless trials, had never witnessed such an enigma.
If there was one point where the two afterimages converged, it was Shay’s gaze. With eyes shining in seven colors, Shay stared at the top of the Tree of Origin.
“Is Hughes still up there? Awakening the King of Humans? There’s still some time left, right? Can I… watch?”
Her voice, excited yet wistful, carried clear emotion.
There was no sound, no presence. Nebida glanced at the boulder where Shay had been crushed. The boulder remained, as natural objects do, but Shay was no longer beneath it.
“You were hiding your power.”
Still gazing upward, Shay replied.
“No. What I hid was memory.”
“…Memory?”
