- Six years later-
It was Squidmas Day. The Squidbeak's name was back in its former glory as of the Heroes of Inkopolis. Some things have been rebuilt, and some new, but things have changed of course. Only a few Residents of Squidbeak remained.
"Agent 3?" Marie asked, handing Aria a small card addressed to her. "Something came in the mail.'
"Y-yeah..." she responded, dead. She opened the card as a scattered piece of paper flew out. "Hm?" she plucked it off the ground. She started to read it.
"If anyone's reading this, I'll be visiting everyone who has left, and anyone who remains in squidbeak. I regret being asleep that night. I learned about what happened. About my only other family member being gone, and about my beloved friend dying. I could have stopped it of course, but it wasn't in my control. After years of being off the grid, I finally forgave myself, so I'll be visiting everyone this year."
"Aria's Note"
"I met Yuri around New Years. He was working on Alice's broken down robot with Remus. The then Null was renamed "Becking Toyoshi." They said they might as well cherish anything that kept Alice's legacy. They never forgot about Skylar: who wouldn't?"
"Kris is dating again after 4 years: no luck. He missed Skylar the most. However, that wasn't his priority. He takes care of Celia alongside with Kara, his cousin. Celia has grown so much. I can't believe she's turning 17 this year."
"Arianna wasn't there when I tried finding her, I guess she left the valley, but I felt a chilling presence during my time there."
Aria heard the doorbell, as Callie raced to get it. Once Callie opened it, she gave out an ink bleeding screech, and unintelligible words coming out of her mouth. Aria shrugged it off and continued to read.
"Off the hook never changed."
"That leaves you, Aria... I wonder what you've been doing while I was gone. And I'm wondering if we can give this relationship another shot"
"My Ferocious 3"
"~ 8."
Aria folded the note and stepped upstairs to her room, placing it on her desk, unlike most of her room, that place was the cleanest. She sighed, lying down on her side away from the door. "You still like me?" Aria spoke to herself, a small blue flush ran across her face. There was a knock on her door. She opened it slightly. Aria was greeted with an octoling: A pink-haired, asymmetric eyed Octoling with a blush all over his face. "K-Keith...?"
