Lucent: (Wow... that's what I'd call thoughtful.)

Kaito: How thoughtful of you, Rayla!

Kiragi: Big Sis Rayla is the best!

Maki: ...

Kiragi: You agree with us, right Big Sis Maki?

Maki: ... Yes, Kiragi, I do.

Lucent: (Liar. It's written over your face that all of this bothers you.)

[i]As Kaori went inside with Ted and Himika, Mia silently waved at them and looked back at the gate, remembering how Kaori thanked her.[/i]

Mia: I only did what is right. To help the innocent and those who cannot defend themselves from the power-hungry... this is my resolution as a knight of the Holy Order.

Mia: My work is far from done, though. Now, let's go to your house, Andorina.

[b][i][u]Location: Spring Zone - Lilina's House[/u][/i][/b]

[i]After some talk, Drake left them and went back home. Lilina decided to take a bath, which she was unable to do before and Masaru went back into his room as his phone ringed.[/i]

Masaru: Hello?
???: Masaru, it's me.

Masaru: Oh, I wasn't expecting you to call today.
???: We have a change in plans. I'm reaching Unitia in two days.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/X4C5YDC.png[/img]
Masaru: That fast?! But your training is-
???: I'm almost done here. Soon, everything will be fine. By the way, how's he doing?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/txOEg2x.png[/img]
Masaru: He's opening up quite quickly. Other friends of mine who live with Lucent are helping as well.
???: I see. You must maintain it as it is now. We don't know how long he'll keep the memories away.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/RLGRzHm.png[/img]
Masaru: Is there something I should know? About Lucent, I mean...
???: No, not right now. In due time, I'll speak. Right now, I sent two people to help me with him.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Ot8Q0XG.png[/img]
Masaru: Got it. Hey...
???: Hmm? What is it?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/DLrxL3W.png[/img]
Masaru: ... No, it's nothing. Forget it. Just focus on finishing it up wherever you are.
???: I'll be sure to do that. Good luck on your side and until we meet, cousin.

[i]The call turned off as Masaru looked at the window. Time was now running short. He needs to keep his younger cousin in check.[/i]

Masaru: (I can't fail nor falter on this. It's for their sake.)

[i]From the outside of his room, Lilina heard the conversation, wondering once again about Masaru and his mysterious mission.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/6nP23F9.png[/img]
Lilina: (So his mission truly involves Lucent, from the other second years. But why? And... who is coming back?)
[img]https://i.imgur.com/gKZUJln.png[/img]
Lilina: (I might need to discover Masaru's past and how he relates to Lucent Vermillion. I might be poking my nose where I'm not called but...)

[i]In her own private dark space, Amalia began to study the rites of the Ba'als. At the same time, she looked at the reflection of the space around her.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/uMnyZCH.png[/img]
Amalia: To instill chaos, I must summon all beasts possible. In the meanwhile, Amandra and her goons will search for my precious Brongaa... until that doesn't happen...

[i]She looked at the sight of the town once more. She laughed once and smiled, as she would begin to rise chaos and despair, having the right person to do it.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/923MoI0.png[/img]
Amalia: After making a child die like that... how wonderful for me to obtain such a "pet". Having given him the control of all nightmares shall prove to me how worthwhile it'll be to toy with humans down there.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/0c9uKLM.png[/img]
Amalia: All shall be covered in endless nightmares. This shall be a fun incident to watch. Let's see if this test run will be worth it... may Unitia's Dream Realm fall... and its unawoken Vestal along with it...

[i]Azura kept dancing and singing. Under the lake, the reflection showed the orphanage. The moment of the kitchen.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/AxGh3YY.png[/img]
Azura: This moment is one of many to happen. Even though chaos abide, you all shall smile.

[i]Her eyes, however, fixated at the young man, caped and silent.[/i]

Azura: The wheels of fate return to spin...

[center][b][i]You of the broken eye... one who eats dreams to maintain your sanity under the guise of hunger...
Lucent Vermillion, the time of the truth runs near. Discover it and escape from the fog you created.[/i][/b][/center]
