Intro 7 (Part 3): And So The Story Begins

It was indeed, to say to least, "a hell of surprise".

Now in the dining table, all the Mizuno in the house, except Yuuki and Ren, sat and having breakfast together. A household that was all-male, right now, had become all-female by morning.

When Arata reached the kitchen, she saw Haruka and Shizu who had become girls. Then Yuuichi came down also as girl. Arata returned upstairs to check on Nao, who also became a girl. 

She didn't check on Yuuki and Ren because Shizu told her that Yuuki already left to school and Ren hadn't come back yet last night, based on her security system data logs.

The atmosphere at the dining table was awkward.

Firstly, this was the first time in a long while since Arata sat together with her children. And second, they're still not used to their condition yet, so they mostly had the breakfast in silence.

After the breakfast, Yuuichi said she would do the the dishes so there's only four people—, ehh, three and half(?) people since Nao just slumped on the table seemed very tired.

The awkward silence was so thick, like it could even be cut with knife.

Arata remembered her wife's order to talk to the kids, so she tried to open the conversation.

"Umm, how do everyone get like this—"

"Stop right there, Tou-san. Ren-nii and Yuuki are still not here. Let's save this conversation for later when everyone is present."

"I agree with Shizu. To avoid the repeated talks, it's more effective to start when everyone has gathered. Beside, I still need more time to come to terms with everything."

"I'm still sleepy."

Arata was completely shutted down from all direction. Well, their reasons were valid so she couldn't refute.

Yuuichi came from the kitchen, wiping her hand with dry towel, walked to Nao's side. 

"Let's go back to your room, shall we? Can you still walk on your own?" she softly asked Nao with tender care.

Nao straightened her body on the chair, rubbed the side of her still closed eyes and gave a small nod to Yuuichi's question before she calmly stood up and walked away back to her room upstairs in auto pilot mode.

When Nao's gone, Yuuichi looked at the blonde, woman who was supposedly her father, and said.

"Tou-san, with our conditions now, no one can go to school, and neither can you go to work today. So can you notify the school and asked for leave for everyone else, except Yuu-chan? And you should also call for leave for your work. I will inform my professor on my own later."

That's a sound concern, so Arata nodded. "I understand, I will do so."

Yuuichi nodded and walked away. "Since I can't go to college today, I will do the laundry and do some cleaning around the house."

Next was Shizu who said she has something to do at her lab, then Haruka who said she wanted to clear our her head and proceed to return to her room.

Left alone, Arata decided to return to her room to get her phone to do what Yuuichi told her.

On the way upstairs, the front door opened and a girl with long black hair came in and looked at the shoe racks.

"Eh, everyone's shoes still here, even Tou-san's. Did they all get sick or some..... thing?"

Her words died out as her blue eyes met Arata's red eyes. Her puzzled expression clearly asking 'Who?' with her eyes.

Arata's seeing her confused could only sigh. 

5 of 6 of her children were confirmed had become girls.

Only one left.

•

•

Back in her room, Arata sat on the bedside, done messaged the school principal to inform that all of her children, except Yuuki, were sick and can't go to school.

Now to her part, she clicked the 'send' button of her message of asking for leave to her head department, Uratora Mana-san.

'Bzzztt!'

Barely a minute passed, even she hasn't put down her phone yet, when a call from Mana came startled her. Arata looked at Mana's name on her phone screen with hesitation. She deliberately used text message to ask for leave, both for the children and herself because she didn't want people to realize that she had changed just from her voice.

The ringing stopped after a while. Arata though Mana gave up, but text message appeared on her screen right away.

[I know you're there. Even if you're sick, surely you can still talk. Pick up the call or I'm going to your house right now]

After Arata read that message, another call came in.

After contemplating for a while, Arata hit the accept button, and the call connected as she brought the phone to her ear.

["Moshi moshi, Arata, what happened? What kind of sickness you got for you to ask for leave? Headache? Fever? Hangover? Or maybe you got into accident last night?"]

Such a bullet train kind of questions. Arata still hesitated to talk.

["Hello, you there? Did you lose your voice or something?"]

"....."

["Okay, that's it! I'll go there—"]

"No, don't! I'm fine, really!"

In panic to stop her, Arata shouted, in her high pitched feminine Ayaka's voice.

After that, there's silence on the other side.

Arata checked her phone screen and see the call was still connected. So she put the phone against her ear again.

"Umm, Mana-san—"

["Switch to video call."]

"Wha—!"

Arata once again looked at her phone, where there's a request to change the call mode from voice-only to video call. Arata knew how persistent Mana is, so even if she declined the request, she would still bug her to no end, or even worse, went straight to her house.

Having no way out, Arata reluctantly accepted the request and her phone screen showed Mana's figure in her personal office, and at the same time, showing Arata's with Ayaka's body to Mana's end.

Mana didn't say anything. Her eyes looked at her face with scrutinizing eyes. She then averted her gaze and muttered under her breath.

"Good grief, that woman, she didn't tell me anything about this...."

"Umm, Mana-san?"

["Hey, you're Arata, right?"]

"Hm, um, yeah.... It's might sound unbelievable but I—"

["No no no NO! Don't explain it over the phone. I will go to your house after work later. For now I'll handle everything on your part here."]

"Wait, Mana—"

'Click'

"—san..."

Right after Mana finished her sentences, without waiting for Arata to reply, she cut off the call abruptly.

Arata looked at her phone screen with bewilderment. First there's her wife Ayaka, then now her former junior and current boss Mana also joined in doing things as she pleases.

She didn't know that many women in her 40+ years of life, but was she fated to be surrounded by unreasonable quirky women?

Arata turned off her phone and lay on her back on their couple bed, looking at the ceiling with empty eyes. Her mind wandered off to the far distance, trying sort out everything that had happened in 12 hours prior.

It's just yesterday that she was still a normal man who worked in normal company, living a normal life, a normal father to 6 lives in his responsibility, albeit he slightly estranged from them.

But with just one overnight encounter, his(her) life turned around to the one never before. Her common sense and rationality were being tested with this fantasy-like plot event.

And not just her, but her children, at least 5 out of 6 of them, had also been confirmed to experience something that turned them into that states.

'Is it also your doing, Ayaka?'

She didn't know whether Ayaka was involved or not in their transformations, but from her letters, she was very much in the in the know of everything that had happened.

Her mind couldn't comprehend the absurdity of it all. 

As much as Arata knew her wife in their 20+ years of relationship, she couldn't deny that there was still a mountain of secret behind her wife's background.

Last night, Ayaka said something about how she returned to do something. And when Arata woke up in the morning, everything has become like this.

"What is it, the thing you're trying to achieve with all of this?"

That question, directed to the one who had disappeared, only met with deep silence.

★

In the living room where all individuals who bears the name Mizuno in their name gathered, their all 6 pairs of eyes focused to the beautiful blonde figure that sat on single sofa. The only person who hasn't shared her story yet.

"Tou-san, it's your turn."

With that cue from Ren, Arata with complex expression begin to open her mouth to talk about her circumstances.

"I...."

Barely a word out, her voice halted. She had heard each story of her children's side. The level of absurdities increased from each one, so at first Arata thought even her story might not be that absurd in this scale.

But then she remembered her reason of transformation was these children's mother. 

A case of a very sensitive kind of topic. 

She didn't know how much bringing up the talk about their mother would trigger something in the their side.

"I was on my way home from my company celebration party when I felt something was weird, to say the least. I don't how to explain the feeling, like, something was just wrong, but I couldn't put my word into it. I think I reached home after midnight and went straight to my room. When I woke up, I was already in this condition. I... sorry, I don't know anything."

So in a matter of second decision, Arata decided to modified her story a bit. 

It's not a lie that she felt something was weird back then, when her wife just showed up out of nowhere in bizzare world-affecting environment.

It's the truth that she got home after midnight and went straight to her room, though in their room she talked with Ayaka for a bit.

It's the truth that she woke up in this condition without knowing anything, because Ayaka didn't tell her anything that could be a clue.

Her story was the truth to certain extent, although she omitted any mention of 'Ayaka' in her story.

It's not a complete lie by definition, but nonetheless, a lie by omission.

Haruka turned her head to Shizu. 

"Shizu?"

"It matches with the logs."

Shizu did something on her tablet and answered Haruka's call. 

Arata expected this. That's why he deliberately said the truth of the time he got home, fully knowing Shizu will check on the backlogs of her security device. 

With that, Arata made sure there would be no suspicion directed at her story, and at the same confirming something that weighed on her mind.

Ayaka got to their room before Arata, so either she just phased through the door like ghost to not get detected, or she just appeared in their room from the start. The same thing with her disappearance. Since Shizu didn't say anything, it's safe to assume there's no log of her existence. If both things didn't get recorded in the system backlogs, then it's further confirming that Ayaka's existence was something far removed from today's technological reach, or perhaps she was tied to something supernatural that couldn't be touched by technological means yet.

Ren looked to Arata and sighed. "So another no clue case." And everyone nodded in agreement with her.

Haruka looked around to everyone in the living room. "As of now, as unbelievable it may sound, Shizu, Yuuki and Nao's reason for transformation are, at least, known. While the rest of us meet the dead end."

For the siblings, it's 3 known against 4 unknown causes. While for Arata, it's the opposite. So she felt a bit guilty since she actually in the knew of the cause of her transformation.

Now the story sharing session was over, everyone became quiet, trying to grasp the essence of everyone stories and reflected on anything that might have been missed.

"...."

"...."

"...."

"Gahhh! This silence is unbearable! Now that everyone shared their stories, can we moving on to address the elephant in the room? My lips has been itchy this whole time wanted to ask it!"

"E-Elephant? Where?"

It's not even 2 minutes of silence yet, and Yuuki already started throwing tantrum. As someone with the most carefree attitude, 'thinking' wasn't exactly her forte after all.

While Yuuichi who heard that statement was looking around the living room trying to find the figure of elephant Yuuki spoke of.

Ignoring that, Haruka, Ren, Shizu and Nao all once again put their eyes to Arata, who suddenly felt a bit nervous being stared intensely by everyone (except Yuuichi).

"I agree with Yuuki. Time to talk the obvious." Ren began.

"W-What, why are you all looking at me?" Arata nervously asked, somehow she got this feeling of impending doom about whatever what would come next.

"Tou-san, be honest with us, that body you have now...." Haruka with serious face, leaning her back against the wall while crossing her arms in front of her body, started speaking.

Then as if Haruka, Ren, Shizu, Nao, and Yuuki's minds were connected to each other, they all opened their mouths simultaneously to ask one same question.

""That's Kaa-san's/Mom's/Mama's, right?""

"What?"

"Eh?"

Two different reactions came from Arata and Yuuichi because of that sudden question.

Yuuichi was confused, feeling out of the loop from her younger siblings's train of thoughts. She looked at her father, couldn't understand why everyone reached that conclusion. Their mother's hair was black, while her father's woman body now has blonde hair. As for her face, umm, she had this sense of familiarity, but couldn't quite put her hands on it.

While Arata heart sank in surprise. She deliberately avoided the topic of their mother, but they shot her straight in the where it hurts. So out of desperation move, she tried to shift the topic. 

Keyword: 'tried'.

"Wait, what are you guys—"

"Mama's scent!" Yuuki said cheerfully.

"Mom's aura." Nao said calmly.

"You think I won't recognize Kaa-san's face?" Haruka asked with a matter-of-fact tone.

"I run the photoshop of Kaa-san's picture, and changing her hair to your current hair." Shizu showed her tablet screen that showed the their full family photo, but with Ayaka's hair turned blonde.

"What are you even trying to ask from these bunch of mothercon?" Ren said helplessly with shrugged shoulder.

"Eh? Scent? Aura? Hold on a second, my head can't follow!" Yuuichi was holding her head, information overloaded.

Arata was in similar state with Yuuichi, while not exactly the same, but her mind was certainly in turmoil.

'Ayaka! These kids are far too perceptive it's scary! And what's with that scent thing from Yuuki? The one with animal feature is Shizu, right?'

Her face was stunned, but inside she was frantic as heck. Her mind was racing thinking out of a way to get out of this situation without mentioning anything about Ayaka in her transform—

'No, wait...'

Arata sighed like she had given up.

"You're right. I don't know how this could happen, but this body I have now is really similar with your mother's appearance when she was in high school."

Ayaka in her letter only asked her to not reveal about her return. How to explain her appearance to the kids, she left it to Arata's discretion. Which mean, everything else other than her returns that night, was a safe topic.

"Wow, Mama with blonde hair! So, is it like, Mama's a gyaru in the past?!" Yuuki asked with enthusiasm.

"Mom, gyaru..." Nao murmured and seemed to be thinking it in her mind.

"It feels right, I guess?" Ren thought about that, connected Arata's current appearance with Ayaka's personality in her memory.

"Genki-type character like Kaa-san as gyaru, that's just like in the manga and anime." Haruka chimed in.

Arata felt like her wife Ayaka just got some reputational damage because of some misunderstanding on their children parts.

'Extrovert plus blonde hair does not equal gyaru! That's prejudice!'

Arata screamed in her mind, but she wouldn't correct them either because it was actually easier for her to explain about her appearance with their misunderstanding.

So she nodded, affirming their statements.

"That's right. Your mother had blonde hair on her first and second years of high school, but returned to black hair in her third year."

The kids listened with interest since this was the first time they heard about this story, their mother unfortunately never talked about her past prior to her college days and marriage. 

So any chance to hear about their beloved mother they had yet to know was deeply intriguing.

'Growl~'

"Ahaha, sorry~"

Looking at the kids who were waiting for Arata's story about Ayaka's high school life, Arata at first wanted to pick a story to tell, but either fortunately or unfortunately, a growl came from Yuuki's stomach as she sheepishly laughed in embarrassment, interrupting their father's story time.

Surprisingly or not, Yuuichi was the first one to react and looked up to the clock on the wall. 

"Ah, look at the time. How about we have dinner first before we continue? I'll prepare it now."

Yuuichi might be out of loop most of the time, and he could certainly say that there's still many thing she didn't understand from their conversation, but she paid more attention to everyone well-being as her top priority.

Even if she stayed, it's not like she can understand how everyone's mind works anyway, so she will do the only role she's best at.

Seeing Yuuichi got up and went to the kitchen, Yuuki trotted behind her to follow. "I'll help!"

Now the duo Yuu were gone, the group of 5 returned to the awkward silence.

Arata definitely couldn't start telling the story of Ayaka's if the casts were not complete, so she tried thinking of another topic to connect more with the remaining children.

Asking about how their school day was not possible, since it's the first day of school and they didn't even go.

Asking about what's their plan now with their current condition? No, if anything, she as their father should be the one to think of plans moving forward. They are her responsibilities, both as their father and as an adult.

....

Wait...

Adult....

'Ding-Dong!'

The sound of doorbell rang louds to be heard by everyone in the living room.

Arata totally forgot about Mana. 

Mana said she would come over after work. Unless there's a work that needed an overtime, the working hours for the employees in White Star Entertainment usually went with 9-5 schedule.

And now was almost 6 PM.

"I'll go get the door." Haruka said as she walked away from the living room. 

Arata instantly stood up and chased after her. "Wait, I'll get it myself."

As of now, Mana only knew that Arata changed, but she didn't know anything about the other transformations. As far she knew, she only knew that Mizuno household was a family that consisted of only males after her wife died 8 years ago.

Explaining everything that happened to an outsider, fully knowing just how unbelievable their experiences were, Arata felt this night will be a very long night. Her stomach hurt just by thinking about it.

★

A moment before the doorbell rings, Uratora Mana stood at the side road, in front of the Mizuno's residence, looking at outline of the house with nostalgic feeling.

The corners of her lips raised to a smile.

"I wonder how everyone's doing, I bet they all look cute, fufu~" 

Mana murmured as she walked to the front door and pressed the doorbell.

★★★

[A Week Later]

It was monday, a week after that eventful day. In the 1-B classroom, Takamaki Keita sat on his seat, slumped on his desk, feeling sluggish and dejected.

A girl with blonde hair tied in side ponytail and blue eyes walked to his seat, slam her hand on his desk with a loud bang. 

"Hey, Takamaki, have you heard anything from Yuuki-chan yet?"

No greeting, no politeness, straight to the point, she asked with irritated tone.

At first, Keita was startled when someone banged his desk, but when he raised his head to see the culprit, his mood got even worse.

"You asked the same question everyday since last week, and my answer remained the same. Yuu still haven't replied to any of my messages, Asakawa-san."

That's right. His conversation with Yuuki after school at that playground park last week was the last time he talked with that brunette girl. Because the day after that, Yuuki sent him a text message in the morning, said that she would be unreachable for a while.

At that point he still didn't know anything. Only when he got into the class that he was informed by their homeroom teacher that Yuuki, along with everyone from Mizuno family would be absent for the rest of the week due to to some confidential circumstances.

He tried to message Yuuki, but didn't get any response. He went to her house after school but it looked empty when he arrived there. 

Keita only met the girl Yuuki for a day, and then suddenly have no news about her for the rest of the week bound to get him worried and overthinking.

Asakawa Risa heard the annoyance in Keita's answer, made her even more irritated. "Tsk, what an useless guy," she said with contempt.

Keita's brows twitched hearing that comment. Didn't want to lose, he spat back. 

"Asakawa-san, why didn't you try message her yourself? You have her contact, right? Oh wait.... you were asking me, that means you also got nothing when you tried."

"Takamaki, you starting to get on my nerves."

"Likewise, the feeling is mutual."

Keita and Risa looked at each other with sparks of mutual dislike between them.

"Good morn— whoah! You two fight first thing in the morning?"

Both of them broke their eyes contact to see the source of the comment. There's a girl with shoulder length red hair and violet eyes standing at the classroom door.

"Kaho-chan!"

"Sugawara-san."

Sugawara Kaho waved to everyone else in the class with 'good morning' greeting as she walked to the two of them.

"Is this fight because of Yuuki again?" she asked while putting her bag on her desk, and sat on her seat. Risa instantly pointed her finger to Keita.

"He's the one who started it first!"

"Hey, you're the one who instigated me when I'm just minding my own business."

"Slumped on your desk doing nothing is a business in your vocabulary?"

"Listen here you little—"

'Clap!'

"Alright, alright, keep it down you two. You attracted too much attention."

Kaho clapped her hand loudly, interruping their bickering and reprimanded them to be more mindful of their surrounding. 

Keita and Risa looked around, seeing other students were stealing glances at them, and averted their eyes when they caught them looking. Keita and Risa looked at each other again, then looked away from each other like kids in a quarrel. 

Kaho sighed helplessly. The job to rein in these two polar force was supposed to be Yuuki's job, not her. 

Oh wait, now she remembered something.

"About Yuuki, I met her at the front gate. She was getting out from an unfamiliar car along with four beauties wearing our school uniform. I talked with her for a bit, but then she said they needed to go to principal office first, so I just—"

"Is that true, Kaho-chan?! Yuuki-chan is back?!"

Risa quickly shifted her gears, rocking Kaho's shoulder with great force with great enthusiasm. Meanwhile Keita who heard that information was also interested.

Kaho eventually felt annoyed with Risa's antic.

"Risa, stop shaking me—"

"As usual, everyone is so lively in the morning."

""!!!""

Everyone in the class turned their head to the class door, the center girl of 1-B who has been absent from last week finally returned to school.

With her school bag still on her shoulder, the heterochromia girl waved to everyone with a smile. "Good morning everyone."

Keita slowly stood up from his seat. "Yuu—"

"Yuuki-chan!"

Before Keita fully stood up, Risa already launched herself to hug Yuuki, diving her head straight to Yuuki's breasts. Yuuki staggered a bit, but steadied herself quickly. Without understanding the situation, she smiled and gently caressed the top of Risa's hair.

"Risa-chan, this still count as sekuhara, you know?"

"Hmpft!"

"Haah~, just this one time, yoshi yoshi~ Risa-chan is good kid, isn't she?"

Risa didn't answer verbally, she rubbed her face to Yuuki's front curve, enjoying the softness. While doing that, she looked over from the corner of her eyes, and giving a smug smile to Keita.

Very sure, Keita was burned with irritation and envy toward Asakawa Risa.

•

•

A moment after that exchange, Yuuki now sat on her seat, with Risa still clung to her and sat sideways on her lap, her head leaned at the crook of Yuuki's neck, as Yuuki caressed her head.

"Where have you been this whole time, Yuu? Did something happen?"

While Yuuki was still trying to soothe Risa who was sulking for the unknown reason, Keita stood beside Yuuki's seat and asked the vital question.

"Well, something suddenly came up after I went home last week. So me and everyone made a trip to our acquaintance's place to address the issues. Our phones were confiscated there so there's no way for me to contact you all. I just got it back this morning on our way to school." Yuuki explained it with lighthearted manner. 

Keita finally breathed a sigh of relief, since from Yuuki tone of speaking, it's nothing that serious.

"While we're in that topic, who are those people that came with you? I reckon I saw one of them have this fake cat ears or something on her head. Filming crew?"

Kaho who sat at the seat beside Yuuki shot her question.

"No no, that's not fake ears, hmm, wait a second, let me show you a picture."

Yuuki tried to answer but stopped herself and took out her phone from her blazer pocket. Navigating the phone while someone was sitting on her lap was a bit difficult, but eventually she found the picture she searched for as she put her phone on her desk, showing a picture of herself and 6 others girls at the living room. Only Yuuki were wearing the school uniform while the others just wore something casual like shirt or t-shirt.

Kaho recognized 4 of them were the girls from this morning. Keita looking at the picture, didn't understand why Yuuki showing this picture in particular, until he saw the sofa in the picture, and weird premonition formed in his mind.

"Wait, this living room, isn't it...."

Yuuki with big happy smile opened her mouth. 

"I guess the news should have spread by this afternoon, but if you want to hear it from me, I can say it now. You see..."

★

Meanwhile on the other side, in other 6 places, simultaneously, a similar event took places.

•

[Kirahoshi High School]

At Kirahoshi High School ground, in their respective classroom, Haruka, Ren, Shizu, and Nao stood in front of everyone, beside their homeroom teacher give who explained their (forged) circumstance that turned them into that.

•

[White Star Entertainment]

At White Star Entertainment, Game Programming Department floor, in front of the employees who has been gathered by their boos, Uratora Mana. Standing beside Mana, Arata stood nervously in front of everyone

•

[Hoshiumi University]

At Hoshiumi University, English Language Teaching Educational program's office, while there was not many people, only one professor and 2 female students she barely remember from the welcoming party last week.

•

At very same time, in these 6 places, the homeroom teachers, the professor, and Mana all said in unison.

"Due to some circumstances, from today onward, Mizuno Yuuichi/Haruka/Ren/Shizu/Nao/Arata will attend the class/work as woman. Please take care and treat her accordingly."

★

Back to 1-B, Yuuki's class....

"....As you can see from the picture. Apparently, for some reason, everyone in my family had turned into girls."

She casually dropped her bomb to her friends.

•

•

"....Eh?"

Took a moment for that bomb to sink in, but after it did...

"""EEEHHHHHHH?!?!?!"""

An unanimous "Ehhhh?!" reverberated all-around from everyone who heard it.

>>>[Intro Complete]<<<

•

•

•

In a dark space filled with nothing as far as one could see, a big holographic screen floated in the air, displaying everyone's revelations scenes at the same time.

"Pfftt, ahahahaha, that simultaneous surprised scream always get me, ahahahaha!"

A woman with a long straight black hair stood in front of the screen, holding on her stomach and as her shoulder shook, trying her best to control her laughter. A moment later, her laugh faded, she lowered her hands and straightened her posture to once again look at the screen with complicated emotions.

"Are you satisfied with just this much?"

There's a voice from the darkness that asked her.

The woman closed her eyes and slowly shook her head.

"No. Honestly speaking, far from satisfied, I crave for more."

"Such as?"

"I want to meet them. I want to talk with them. I want to hug them. I want to..."

"....."

She opened her eyes again, this time there's only one dominant feeling in that red eyes.

"I want to continue being their mother. I want to be Ayaka for real."

"If you truly wish for it, with the current points you have now, a complete revival is already possible."

"I told I can't. Those kids are not ready yet. If I returned now, everything will be just for naught. Whose side are you actually on?"

"..... I just want you to be happy."

I took a moment before the voice in the dark replied, and when it did, it was a voice tinged with guilt.

Ayaka sighed helplessly at that. "You worry too much."

"......"

It didn't reply, so Ayaka didn't say anything no more. She just turned around and walked further into the darkness. She flicked her hand to the empty air, then the holographic screen behind her shattered like glass into countless pieces of light fragments that fly towards her.

"I endured for 8 years, surely I can endure for a bit longer."

The light fragments were absorbed by her black hair, slowly turned its color to a more golden hue from her hair ends.

"Temporary happiness is just it, 'temporary'. I had enough of it."

At that, her black hair had fully turned into shining blonde hair.

"You want me to be happy, don't you? Then just follow and support me in my path."

"As you wish, My Dear Master."

"This time, we will deliver them a Perfect Happy End."

Along with those words, her figures disappeared like she was eaten by the darkness.
