OVA 7 — Last Days Before the Final Battle

Continuity: alternate-future / emotional OVA. Not binding mainline canon.

This episode explores what the final quiet days might feel like if the main cast knew a decisive battle was approaching.

The purpose is emotional pressure, not confirming a tragic ending.

Possible structure:

• Victoria spends time with people she usually only sees during crises.
• Aegis survivors confront how much of their identity was built around being useful in emergencies.
• Vesper and the Master share unusually ordinary routines while both understand the stakes without saying so directly.
• Small habits become painful because the audience can imagine them disappearing.

The Master should show attachment through attention and routine rather than sudden confession. Vesper can understand the emotional meaning more clearly than he does.

This OVA must not establish that Vesper dies, the Master dies, or the ending is tragic. It is a possible emotional future, not a spoiler contract.
