Well...uh it's been a while. I thought I had this complete for a long time, but I didn't love the way it was so writer's block struck. But now that everything in the world has fallen apart, why not update!

But on a serious note, I hope everyone is staying safe and is feeling okay! Wash your hands, remember to social distance, and please stay safe! I hope this update provides some (much needed) activity in your quarantine. Please enjoy :)

"Do you need the hospital?"

"What happened?!"

Yaya could hear the frantic voices of her friends around her, but she could hardly discern them. To her, the voices seemed to blend in a flurry. Her mind was racing; she was lost deep in her thoughts.

It's all… it's all been a lie… It's…

"Yaya!"

Suddenly jolted, Yaya rose to her feet shakily. Her body was still trembling, causing her to nearly topple back over upon standing her feet. She gripped her right arm, wincing as she moved it. She wondered if it was broken. She had landed directly on top of her arm, and it did hurt immensely. She remembered when Kukai broke his arm. He had been playing soccer when the other player knocked into him, causing him to fall directly on his arm. That had been nearly four years ago; Yaya was still in the guardians at the time alone and…

But that isn't… That didn't happen. That wasn't my… oh my god, oh…

"Yaya-Chan are you alright?" One of the other kickliners put her hand on Yaya's shoulder.

Yaya turned around rapidly, and her eyes widened. "L-Luca…?"

"You're acting, like, really weird. Do you need to go to the doctor or something?"

Yaya stared at Luca. Luca was the kickline captain; she pushed Yaya and the other girls to work as hard as they could, often over-exerting themselves. But Yaya never minded; she loved kickline more than life itself. She aspired to be like Luca one day. She aspired to be the kickline captain and lead the girls below her to victory. But Yaya also remembered Luca having magical powers and helping her regain consciousness. Yaya remembered her distraught face, the tears falling rapidly down her face, as her father was struck by Luca's twin sister. Yaya remembered her principal lying dead on the ground.

"Are you crying, Yaya-Chan?" Someone else called.

Yaya could suddenly feel tears streaming down her cheeks. "I-I'm fine," Yaya stammered. "I just… I…" Yaya inhaled. "I… I have to go!" Before any of the other girls could react, Yaya ran over to the gym bleachers. She grabbed her backpack, not even bothering to put it on her back, and then bolted out of the gymnasium. She could hear the girls' exclaims, but she didn't care. They didn't matter. Nothing mattered.

Yaya hadn't even realized it was raining, but suddenly, she could feel the raindrops falling on her exposed skin. She shivered, unconsciously wrapping her arms around her body but instead crying out in pain as she bent her right arm.

She knelt outside the building and dropped her backpack to the ground. She unzipped the bag and desperately searched the bag, tossing out her folders and notebooks haphazardly. She knew her books would get soaked; if she still cared about her academics, she may have panicked more. But nothing mattered.

"Please tell me you're here… please…" Yaya whimpered. She lifted her backpack and dumped everything out, letting all her belongings fall onto the damp sidewalk. Her eyes began to water. She patted the additional side pockets, her hands caressing over the flat shape. She wanted to feel the familiar oval shape in her hands; she needed to feel it. "Pepe, where are you?! You have to be here! I'm not… I… I need you!" Yaya screamed out, sobs escaping her throat. "I'm not ready to grow up. I'm not ready to face the world! I'm so scared and I don't know what's happening and I…I need you! I—" Yaya could no longer speak. Her eyesight grew blurry as she sobbed loudly under the ceaseless rain, mascara and eyeshadow making her eyes itch even more. Ignoring the pain in her arm, she buried her face into her hands and cried alone, knowing nothing could comfort her.

Yaya did not know how long she sat out in the rain like that. Her eyes felt swollen as she let her arms drift back to her side. She picked up her now-damp notebooks and tossed them carelessly into her backpack once more. Eventually, she rose to her feet and slid her backpack over her shoulders.

Arriving at her front door, she fumbled in her backpack, pulling out her key and unlocking the door. She stepped inside, prompting her parents to look up at her.

"Oh my gosh, Yaya, you're soaking wet!" Her mom exclaimed, rushing over to her.

Yaya had spent a long time trying to grow up and escape her mother's protectiveness, but she also spent her whole life wanting to be the sole baby of the house. Right now, she didn't know what she wanted.

Yaya's father ran over, wrapping her in a towel. "We've been worried sick," He reprimanded. "I figured it was late kickline practice, but if it was raining out, you should have called!"

"…Sorry." Yaya bowed her head downward.

"Are you okay?" Her mother wondered. "You're gripping your arm too? Is it hurt?" Her mother reached out to touch her arm, but Yaya quickly jerked away.

No.

"Yeah, I'm fine… I-I'm just tired." She immediately headed upstairs to her bedroom, ignoring the looks her parents gave to each other. She entered her room, closing the door behind her, and immediately made her way to the mirror. She gasped upon seeing her reflection. She was soaking wet and her eyes were red and puffy, but she noticed how smudged her makeup was, mascara all over her face. She pulled down her ponytail, letting her dyed blonde hair extend to her mid-back. As she blinked, she caught a glimpse of her gold eyeshadow, prompting her to moan quietly. She looked at her kickline outfit, and groaned, turning around. She leaned against the mirror and slumped to the ground, a sigh escaping her lips.

"Why is this happening?" She murmured aloud. "It wasn't supposed to be like this. I knew it'd be bad; I knew… I knew… but Pepe and… I'm just scared and confused and…"

Yaya took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Okay, I need to stay calm. Let me run through everything I know.

"I-I'm Yaya Yuiki. I'm sixteen, but I'll be seventeen in a few months, I think. I have my parents and my little brother, Tsubasa." She frowned. Who am I even talking to anyway? "And my friends…" Yaya hesitated. Who were her friends anyway? Were they the kickline girls who Yaya worked so hard to fit in with, the girls Yaya changed herself for and became someone completely different just to be apart of them?

No, Yaya reasoned. Her friends were the eight people whom Yaya loved unconditionally. They were the people Yaya would do anything for, and she knew that the feeling was genuinely returned. She thought nothing would—nothing could—undo what they all had. But with Amu wishing she never existed, it wasn't just Amu she lost; she had lost all of them.

Yaya buried her head into her legs again to stifle her sobs. She wasn't supposed to lose them. She had anticipated losing some of them of course; Utau and Ikuto would never have been freed from Easter without Amu and thus, she wouldn't be as close to them. Rima… Yaya hugged her knees tighter. Rima was one of Yaya's best friends, someone who was her polar opposite yet perfectly complimented her in every way imaginable. She relied on Rima for so much. But she had reasoned that she would lose Rima too; after all, it was Amu who kept her and Kairi apart of the guardians initially. Even Kairi had confirmed that the night before the big fight.

"Kairi-Kun…" Yaya exhaled. They had discussed at length the likelihood that the wish would cause them to grow apart. Yaya didn't even know where he was. He could have been anywhere on the planet for all she knew; all she knew was that he wasn't with her. Maybe she should have been grateful. Maybe she should have been relieved, at least, that they had shared their feelings for each other and kissed once. But it felt like a taste of what should have been. Yaya didn't feel relieved even slightly; she felt empty and lonelier than she already was. But it wasn't a surprise, that she knew.

But for the remaining three, Yaya thought she could never lose them. They were the original guardians; they had been friends forever, long before even Amu joined the guardians. So how did it all fall apart? How could she lose her three brothers?

Yaya cried harder. "This shouldn't have happened," She whispered, "Tadase, Nagi, you both meant… mean everything to me. And K—" Yaya covered her mouth. She had known Kukai since she was still in a stroller. If Nagihiko and Tadase were her brothers, Kukai was her other half. He had always been there for her through thick and thin and beyond; he was, supposedly, the closest thing to the only constant in her life. Every now and then, they did talk, but it wasn't the daily text conversations or Yaya's sporadic calls she had previously known. They were just casual acquaintances now. Nothing could have prepared Yaya for that; nothing could have prepared her for losing her best friend in the entire world.

"No, I couldn't have lost Kukai; there's no way…"

She took another deep breath and reached for her cell phone. She could see there was a bunch of missed calls and texts from her kickline friends as well as older messages from her parents. She scrolled through her contacts, immediately finding Kukai's name and pressing call. She pressed the phone to her ear anxiously, closing her eyes. Maybe he remembered too. He had to; he could maybe clear all of this up.

Kukai… please…

"Uh, hello?" His voice sounded raspy, but Yaya was still delighted.

"Kukai!" Yaya screamed, and she could hear him wince. "I'm so scared; I remembered everything and it's all terrifying and different and I don't know what to do and—"

"Whoa, whoa, calm down." Yaya stopped abruptly, her eyes widening. "Geez, hey, listen…" Kuaki sighed. "Now's not really a great time." Yaya glanced at her clock, not even realizing it was past midnight. "But you're acting weird; you good, Yuiki-San?" Yuiki-San?!

"Who's on the phone?" A female voice mumbled from Kukai's phone. Yaya raised an eyebrow.

"Nah, just an old friend, don't worry Mari." Yaya could hear a kissing noise and what sounded like a moan.

"How could you do that to Utau?!" Yaya cried.

"Huh? Who's Utau?"

Yaya froze. "I-I have to go." She immediately hung up the phone, and a sob escaped her throat. She hugged her knees close to her chest and buried her head on top of them. She stifled her cries, as she did not want her parents to hear. She knew they wouldn't understand. Yaya had spent her life wanting them to coddle her and baby her forever, but in this world, she wanted her autonomy. Yaya could feel her body trembling as more and more tears flowed down her cheeks. She cried the rest of the night, wondering when she would wake up from this nightmare.

Nagihiko sat across from his mother that morning, silence befalling the two of them. As Baaya placed the scrambled eggs in front of him, he quietly thanked her, his gaze shifting to the food. He had gotten more used to eating normal meals again, however, it was still a struggle to complete all the meals. He wondered, in the back of his mind, if things would have been different if his memories had not been restored. Would he had even made an effort to recover? He glanced upward, noticing his mother seeming fixated on something. Following her eyes, he saw her staring at a portrait in the back of the room. The man in the picture had cold caramel eyes, his expression hardened as he looked straight ahead. His long purple hair extended past his neck, and not for the first time, Nagihiko wondered if that would be how he would look in twenty years.

A vibration in his pocket prompted Nagihiko to quickly snap back to reality. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone. Upon seeing a text from Utau, he quickly unlocked it.

We need to meet today when you're done with school. I have something urgent to tell you. An eyebrow quirked, Nagihiko responded with a curt "sounds good" before suddenly rising to his feet. His mother turned to face him suddenly.

"I should get going," Nagihiko suddenly announced. "I'll be a little late home today." He turned around before his mother could respond. He hesitated before exiting the house without another word.

"What did Utau want?" Temari wondered as they began walking to school.

"I don't know…" Nagihiko sighed. "She didn't really elaborate, but she said it was urgent. I guess we'll find out after classes." As he made his way to his locker, he could see Tadase already waiting.

"Good morning, Tadase," He greeted in his Nadeshiko voice. "How are you doing?"

"I'm okay. I'm glad you're here; we have a ton to discuss." Tadase sighed. He glanced around him quickly, before turning back to Nagihiko, lowering his voice. "Something seems fishy about the X-Eggs. Many of the X-Eggs we had been previously tracking are missing."

"Missing?" Nagihiko feigned surprise. He closed his locker, following Tadase.

"I don't know where they could have gone, but these are the ones we haven't handled yet. I don't understand; did Easter somehow retract them? I mean, Easter wants these X-Eggs to persist; why would they get rid of them?" The two of them entered the classroom.

"I don't know… Are you sure they're gone?" He bit his lip, exchanging a curt glance with Temari.

"Definitely. You're the one who recorded their locations, Nadeshiko; I trust your initial recordings, and now the X-Eggs aren't there. I don't understand." Tadase shook his head. "We need to head to the Royal Garden after school and get to the bottom of this."

"Actually… I can't again today, I'm sorry Tadase." Tadase's visible pained expression made Nagihiko feel guilty.

"Is everything alright? You haven't been meeting in a while."

Nagihiko gritted his teeth. He had, in fact, been ditching Tadase recently; he had been leaving him to purify X-Eggs, which was why Tadase wanted to meet. He sighed forlornly; Tadase didn't understand. It was only him and Utau that really knew what was going on. "Yeah, I'm fine! My mother has been stricter with me now especially after everything," Nagihiko lied. If anything, his mother had become completely hands off now.

Tadase took a deep breath. "You're not… I mean you…" Out of the corner of his eye, Nagihiko watched as the Rima practically sashayed into the room as if she did not give a care about anyone else in the room. He bit his lip, resisting the urge to turn around and face her, joining in with the many guys that were currently ogling at her. "Like Souma-Kun and Yuiki-San, you aren't getting tired…"

"No, no, of course not!" Nagihiko exclaimed. "I'm 100% committed to be a guardian, more than you know." Tadase smiled, and Nagihiko sighed in relief.

Yaya slumped into her desk in the back of the room and buried her head into her arms. She could hear the bustling chatter in the classroom, and she could immediately tell that they were discussing the upcoming football game. Just a day ago—no, less than twelve hours ago—Yaya would be eagerly joining in. She would talk about how excited she was to watch the game, but in reality, she would be more excited about her kickline performance. She had practiced for so long to make the perfect routine; her team had worked so hard, and suddenly, Yaya didn't care.

"Yaya-Chan?" Yaya glanced upward, her eyes widening slightly as she turned to face a friend of hers on the kickline team. "Are you doing okay?"

"Huh? Uh, yeah, fine!" Yaya lied.

"You acted so weird yesterday. Luca was really worried about you." Yaya sighed.

"It's, um…" Yaya bit her lip. "Don't worry about me, 'kay?" She stuck her thumbs up, forcing a weak smile. In the back of her mind, she knew that was how Kukai would act. Whether or not he was okay, he would act okay for everyone else, wearing his signature grin and sticking his thumbs up. But that Kukai was long gone now, as was everything else Yaya knew.

How can everything still be like this if I remember the truth? Why can't everything just go back to— Yaya's eyes widened. What was normal anyway? Was it watching Seto and Deidre and Saira fight relentlessly, summoning the Extractor? Was it watching Amu feebly resisting Saira's indoctrination, only to become a slave for her? Was it watching Tsukasa… Yaya could feel tears prickle at her eyes once more. She winced as she recalled Saira shooting a green beam directly at his chest, watching as the life drained out from him.

But he's alive now! I've seen him at games cheering Luca on. The bell suddenly rang, drowning out Yaya's thoughts. As the teacher began lecturing, Yaya stared at the board in front of her blankly. For the first time since she started school, physics seemed to make more sense to her than anything else in her life.

Yaya spent the rest of the day ignoring the stares of her peers and remaining isolated. She knew that the story of her unknown meltdown at practice must have spread like wildfire. She was popular in this world after all. Deep down, she always was envious of the other guardians' popularities. All her friends managed to have a fanbase and people who looked up to them. Tadase had tons of fans and everyone admired him. Nagihiko and Kukai were popular from their success in sports. Rima and Amu's aloofness toward others made them desirable too. Yaya always sought that popularity; even if all of them complained about their fans being overexuberant, Yaya thought it would be amazing to have admirers who wanted to be like her and those who would gush over her every action.

But now that Yaya had that popularity, she despised it. They didn't love her for who she truly was; they loved her because she had become ordinary. She had been fake, something she had fought against for years in her real life.

A few times throughout the day, she saw her former friends. She saw Tadase and Nadeshiko chatting amicably during lunch, and Yaya couldn't help but to feel a little relieved. At least they had each other. However, that light feeling faded upon seeing Rima walk past them without the slightest acknowledgement and sit with a group of seniors Yaya had never seen before. Upon seeing some guy kiss her neck, Yaya had turned around and walked away. She hadn't spotted Kairi anywhere, unsurprisingly. And of course, Amu was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, Yaya!" Yaya turned rapidly as Luca walked over to her at the end of the day. She grinned at Yaya, her brown hair tied up into a loose bun.

"Uh, hey."

Luca opened her mouth to speak, before closing it with a sigh. She inhaled before finally speaking, "Are you coming to practice today?"

"No, sorry."

"Yaya, you know…" Luca hesitated. "If something is going on with you, don't hesitate to reach out. But the game is coming up, and—"

"I-I'm sorry; I'm just going through a lot right now," Yaya blurted. She knew that before-memories-returned-Yaya would be furious; she was gunning for the future kickline captain position and skipping any practice was a huge no-no. But Yaya wasn't that person anymore. "I-I need to go." Yaya bolted, ignoring Luca's continued gaze. She could feel the temptation to cry as she had for the past day become stronger and before she knew it, she was running with tears flying down her cheeks. She ran into the nearest bathroom and shut the door of the stall. Her nose continued to run as she sobbed hysterically into the palm of her hands.

I'm all alone now. I lost everyone and everything I know. Mommy and Daddy and Tsubasa are here, but… but they don't even know who I am deep down. I'm only devoted to kickline; I don't even eat candy anymore! I lost all my friends and Pepe and even Kukai. Amu doesn't even exist. Kairi… we were going to have something! After so long, we finally… we… Yaya cried harder into her hands.

Why did you do this Amu-chi?! Is this really better?

Suddenly, Yaya heard a loud crash. She gasped, uncovering her watery eyes. She hesitated briefly before rising to her feet and exiting the bathroom. To her horror, she suddenly saw someone in her grade passed out on the floor.

"Hiro-kun!" Yaya cried. "Are you alright?" She turned around his limp body only to see his eyes. Yaya's eyes widened. His eyes were pitch black, and Yaya knew that could only mean one thing. Turning around, she could see almost the entire student body walking around like zombies, X-Eggs floating around aimlessly.

"Oh no, Easter! I have to do something! My own heart, un… oh no…" Yaya panicked. "I-I don't know what I can do. I don't have Pepe or anything… I can't… I…"

"Huh? You weren't affected? Strange."

Yaya turned around rapidly. A man stepped forward, a strange device in hand. In his other hand, he clutched a gun. His glasses glistened as he stepped into the light. Yaya's eyes widened. "I guess I'll need to take care of you myself." He pointed the gun at Yaya.

She clenched her fists and then stepped backward. "Nikaidou-Sensei, please!"

"Nadeshiko, wait up!"

Nagihiko turned around, pausing as Tadase jogged up to him. He forced a smile. "How can I help you, Tadase?"

"I just… Are you sure you can't meet today?"

Nagihiko didn't have to be good at reading people as he was to see that Tadase was hurt. He knew that Tadase must have experienced a lot of betrayal. Yaya and Kukai had left the guardians because they thought it was futile. Kairi admitted he joined the guardians for the three seconds he remained simply to be a spy for Easter. Rima left even quicker than Kairi did. Everyone was losing faith in the guardians and the goal of protecting children's dreams, so no wonder Tadase believed Nagihiko was too. But Tadase didn't know what Nagihiko knew; he didn't remember how successful the guardians were, how strong the bond the nine of them had. Though, Nagihiko frowned inwardly, how successful could they be when Tsukasa had been killed and the Embryo was destroyed and making this wish was perhaps their only chance at protecting the world?

"I'm really sorry, Tadase." And he meant it. "I promise we will meet soon, okay? Hopefully my mother will be tamer on me soon and let me exercise the same freedom I had in the past."

"I—"

"Tadase, I sense X-Eggs!" Kiseki called suddenly.

Nagihiko and Tadase looked at each other in alarm. Nagihiko clenched his fist. Is this why Utau had texted him? No, she wouldn't have wanted him to wait until after school; she would have called him most likely.

Before either of them could respond, they suddenly heard a crash. Nagihiko turned around. His eyes widened as a student in their year hit the ground, his eyes completely darkened. An X-Egg floated out of his chest. Nagihiko watched in horror as several students followed suit.

"This is awful." Tadase gasped. "I thought the X-Eggs had been rapidly vanishing; this shouldn't be happening!"

Nagihiko gritted his teeth. Easter couldn't have gotten more sophisticated in just a few days time. He and Utau had everything under control. He glanced at Tadase cursorily. He already was gripping his scepter and had a crown atop of his head. Nagihiko smiled weakly. There was nothing Tadase could do to actually improve the situation. He could hold back the X-Eggs and prevent them from attacking perhaps, but even that was limited without his full transformation. And without anyone purifying…

Nagihiko quickly pulled out his cell phone. He sent Utau a quick warning text before character changing as well. He stood beside Tadase, naginata tightly in hand.

"What the hell is taking Fujisaki so long?" Utau mumbled. She pushed up her oversized sunglasses and took a sip of her latte. "Seriously, it's not like him to be late."

"He could be held up with Tadase-San," Kairi reasoned. "Given that he is still unaware of the truth and the fact that you and Nagihiko-San have purified X-Eggs, it is likely he is suspicious." Kairi glanced at his cell phone for the umpteenth time. Unlike Utau's frequent checking to see if Nagihiko had texted, Kairi was acutely aware of the several missed calls and texts from his mother. Guilt seeped at him; he knew that she must be furious that he would recklessly leave home. In fact, if Yukari hadn't spoken with his parents, Kairi would have been sure they would have gotten the police involved. He never thought in a million years he would run away from them like this. He had stayed at Kukai's place after his father hit him in his old world, but he never would have imagine he would book a flight without telling his parents and recklessly come to Seiyo.

Utau hummed, drawing Kairi back to reality. "Perhaps I should have been more upfront about why we were meeting. Maybe he could have rushed more or whatever." She took another sip of her drink and then glanced at her watch. She bit her lip. Nagihiko should have been at the coffee shop twenty minutes prior.

Upon feeling her cell phone vibrate, Utau reached into her pocketbook. She read Nagihiko's message, and then cursed under her breath. She rose to her feet.

"What's wrong?" Kairi asked.

"There's X-Eggs at the high school. Fujisaki needs our help."

"I don't think it's just the high school," Musashi began.

To Kairi and Utau's horror, the café suddenly grew increasingly quiet. The baristas and customers slunk to the floor, X-Eggs rising out from them.

"Damn it, what's going on?!" Utau gritted her teeth. "Fujisaki and I had just purified so many X-Eggs! Easter isn't nearly as technologically capable in this world as they were as we knew them; how could they have recovered so quickly?" She clenched her fists. "Let's take care of these." She quickly transformed with El, Kairi following suit.

"Thunder Blade!" Kairi yelled, a jolt of electricity shooting out of his sword. The X-Eggs were stunned, temporarily immobilized.

Utau closed her eyes. "Angelic Lull—"

"Utau!"

Utau opened her eyes rapidly, alarmed. Ikuto stood at the door of the café, a violin in his hand. She wondered where he obtained the violin. It certainly wasn't Aruto's, but yet, somehow it looked familiar to her. She averted her gaze from him. "What do you want?"

"What do I want?" He stepped forward. "Now, that's a loaded question, don't you think? I should be asking you that." He shook his head. "What are you trying to accomplish?"

"You wouldn't understand, not yet."

"Stop this cryptic bullshit." Ikuto crossed his arms. "Utau, we've been through so much together. I'm not saying everything has been roses, but you know as well as I do the consequences of betraying Kazuomi. Why do you think I've…" Ikuto shook his head. "You can't just step away, Utau. We're bound to him; we're slaves to him."

"No, we're not. Not anymore. Not…" Utau sighed in disgruntlement. She exchanged a cursory glance at Kairi, who continued to stun the X-Eggs. "God damn it, why don't you remember?! Listen… I know this doesn't make sense. You have to trust me, Ikuto. Please. I'm doing what's right; I'm making a difference in the world. I refuse to live a lie anymore. Even if you don't understand, come with me."

Ikuto clenched his fists. "You're naïve. You're acting like a child."

"No, you are. You don't understand…" Utau growled. "Look, I don't have time for this. Lay down Ikuto."

"Kazuomi will never forgive you."

"Let him."

"If this is the path you choose…so be it." Cat ears appeared suddenly on his head. Ikuto bared his claws, but a sudden bolt of lightening struck him, sending him flying backward.

Kairi grimaced. "I'll distract him. Purify the X-Eggs, quickly."

Utau complied. She performed Angelic Lullaby, the X-Eggs suddenly turning white and returning to their respective owners' chests.

"So now you can purify?"

"There's a lot you don't know about me," Utau spat. All of the years of their separation rushed through her: his negligence to her as he performed Easter duties, him never seeing her when she desperately needed to. Utau bit her lip. What was the point of resenting Ikuto in this world? This wasn't the brother she knew in her real life. The Ikuto she knew was loving; he acted aloof and cold, but he loved Utau and would do anything to protect her. Anything…

No, Utau knew that even this Ikuto was like that too. He likely did trust her, she reasoned. He knew what she was doing right, even if he didn't understand. But if he betrayed Easter, Ikuto knew Kazuomi would retaliate. He wanted to protect her, even now, even in this world. But it didn't matter, not really. None of this mattered.

"I won't get in your way." Ikuto rose to his feet. "If you really want to betray Easter, you may want to head to the high school. Yuu Nikaidou is heading the new extraction at the hidden underground headquarters there."

"Yuu… Of course he would be an Easter associate." Kairi sighed.

"Ikuto…"

"I hope you know what you're doing, Utau." Before Utau could respond, Ikuto had ran off.

Utau looked at Kairi. "Easter has a base in the high school? Let's go see what this is about."

Please review if you can! Now that I'm officially a second-semester senior at Zoom University who was already feeling burned out but now has even less motivation to do work, expect to see more updates (at least when i'm not playing Animal Crossing).
