| Sensei speaks up in protest at this idea, shocking Ami who quickly rationalizes this as a symptom of his decaying mental state. She asks him to close his eyes and picture the happiest moment in his life, confident it's a moment with her – Unbeknownst to Ami, Sensei pictures his [[Everlasting Mercy|birthday trip]] with Maya, recalling the moment they spent together watching the fireworks. | | Sensei speaks up in protest at this idea, shocking Ami who quickly rationalizes this as a symptom of his decaying mental state.

| Opening his eyes, he begins to cry, with Ami hastily trying to calm him down. He meekly asks if "[[Remember to Smile|it]]" is over and if Maya is really gone. Ami shuts down this topic immediately, not wanting to hear more about it and telling him that she's abandoned him because she never truly cared. While combating unheard voices, she dismisses his attempts to fight against this, declaring that she'll work harder at keeping "bugs" such as [[Uta]] and [[Io]] out. All these [[Rhytmn of a Black Heart|intrusions]] are undue obstacles in a life Ami desperately wants back – A life she'll fight tooth and nail for to preserve. | | Opening his eyes, he begins to cry, with Ami hastily trying to calm him down.

| All the way across town, the Tsukiokas are gathered in a unit in [[Touka]]'s [[Shelter|recently purchased]] apartment block. A narrator speaks up, claiming that this building was purchased out of selfishness rather than the overblow selflessness the owner claims. They reveal just how truly selfish Touka's thoughts are and how desperately she attempts to fight them, shelving the feelings and disguising her relief [[I Will Deliver You to the Fireflies|behind faux apologies]]. Touka rarely lied, but it was as if it were second nature, perhaps because her [[Tsubasa|mother]] was an expert at it. Tsubasa Tsukioka is an exceptional liar, so exceptional that she had all but convinced both her daughters of her own purity, all while harboring as much darkness as anyone else. | | All the way across town, the Tsukiokas are gathered in a unit in [[Touka]]'s [[Shelter|recently purchased]] apartment block. A narrator speaks up, claiming that this building was purchased not out of selflessness or to gain experience in real estate but to get closer to someone. They reveal just how truly selfish Touka's thoughts are and how desperately she attempts to fight them, shelving the feelings and disguising her relief [[I Will Deliver You to the Fireflies|behind faux apologies]]. Touka rarely lied, yet she's incredibly skilled at it, having inherited the ablilty from her [[Tsubasa|mother]]. Tsubasa Tsukioka is an exceptional liar, so exceptional that she had all but convinced both her daughters of her own purity, all while harboring darkness in her heart that she already passed down to and slowly grows in both of them. |

| The narrator dismisses the claim that such darkness has consumed [[Tsukasa]]. They assert the truth that, to the Tsukiokas, Tsukasa was expendable, merely a failsafe in case some tragedy were to befall Touka. This was a truth the youngest knew quite well, and while in the dead of night, she'd pray for such aforementioned tragedies, she'd cry soon after, unable to truly despise her sister or her family. The narrator moves on, revealing tonight to be one of creation as Touka prepares something unsaid. They speculate on whether tonight will bring about the ruin of the world as the Tsukioka's darkness consumes the world, admitting the true answer is unknown when both the past and present "rewrite" themselves. | | The narrator dismisses the claim that such darkness has consumed [[Tsukasa]] yet. They assert the truth that, being the second child, Tsukasa was expendable, merely a failsafe in case some tragedy were to befall Touka. This was a truth the youngest knew quite well, and while she'd pray for such aforementioned tragedies at some nights and during fits of jealousy, she'd cry soon after, unable to truly despise her sister or her family. The narrator moves on, revealing tonight to be one of creation as Touka prepares something unsaid. They warn that these acts will attract people who want to feed on her kindness, unknowingly spreading their darkness across the world, though they can only make conjectures regarding the future since both the past and present often "rewrite" themselves. |

| Tsubasa speaks up, confirming with her eldest daughter appointments for contractors to come by and repair cracks in the walls. She also asks if Touka's recently spoken with [[Chika]], confirming that she hasn't as she's been far too preoccupied with the apartment building. Chika has been similarly busy, distracted almost entirely by Sensei's absence, which Tsubasa feels might explain her daughter's recent attitude. Touka insists she's perfectly fine but becomes increasingly frustrated by her mother's teasing and, especially, her prying. She questions her mother's recent decision to have Tsukasa tutored by Sensei as well, which Tsubasa dismisses as being due to Tsukasa taking a liking to him, something the aforementioned girl corroborates. | | Tsubasa speaks up, confirming with her eldest daughter appointments for contractors to come by for repairs and inspections.
