The Bayonetta series is by SEGA and Platinum Games.

In the auditorium of a high school, a disguised Jeanne watched backstage while the stagehands changed the scenery. After a moment, she looked around the area. Where were Ed, Edna, and Cereza?

It had been a few years since Bayonetta defeated Aesir. Enzo's children, Ed and Edna, were growing up and were expected to aid the two Umbra Witches when they came of age. Luka had journalism and a second novel to take care of, so he couldn't attend the play the Witches were at. Enzo had also come down with a cold before the play, while Rodin had to handle the bar he tended to. That left only Jeanne and Bayonetta to watch the two backstage.

While Jeanne admitted Enzo's two children were growing up nicely, why was Bayonetta taking a liking to the older Edna?

"Go now! And no dilly-dallying along the way!"

"Yes, ma'am! Ed, hurry up!"

"Right!"

She was snapped out of her thoughts by the sound of hurried footsteps. Two twins in their teen years, both with brown hair and green eyes wearing costumes, dashed past Jeanne onto the stage. A disguised Bayonetta soon came up to Jeanne, a sigh coming from her lips.

"You certainly know how to get people going, Cereza," Jeanne noted.

"I do my best," Bayonetta replied.

There was a moment of silence while the act began. The play was the story of William Tell, and both twins, Ed and Edna, were cast as main characters. Jeanne noted that her Umbran sister was watching a certain twin carefully.

"You seem to be watching Edna's performance more so than the others," Jeanne noted. "Notably, you two have grown to like each other a lot as well."

"I like her," Cereza told her. "We have our differences, but we get along nonetheless."

"I wouldn't get too close, though. There are still those in Paradiso that could target her due to this."

"They've been awfully quiet since Aesir's defeat, however. Even I'm a little suspicious, Jeanne."

The act ended and the students rushed to get ready for the next half of the show. Ed and Edna went up to the two witches and got praise from the two when asked how they did. Bayonetta noted that even Jeanne was happy to see them perform.

There would be time to assess the situation between Inferno and Paradiso later. For now, it was time to relax and enjoy the show.
