Sometime later Shina is seen sitting in her room staring out of the window with a light breeze blowing her hair. A sad yet calm expression tells that she's thinking about the future a little bit. When the door opened she could feel the energy and knew who it was that was going to talk to her. "I spoke with your grandmother … she says that hopefully we have some rope somewhere … but I told her no and … what are you thinking about?"
"I know who to choose if all goes the way that I planned it," she calmly said to her father. "Who is it," he asked closing the door behind him as he walked over to his daughter and rubbed her head, "tell me." She sighed and looked up at him, "if things go according to plan after the Three Nights then my choice is crystal clear. Took me a while to think things over but I've decided."
Ryo leaned against the wall listening to her as she looked back out the window; he peeked around the corner and spotted the trees that grew over his late wife's grave marker, "you've thought about it while staring at the trees?" She nodded her head and didn't speak. "I can understand that, every so often I go over there and remember those years that we were together." Shina started to sigh a lot more so Ryo bent down and made her stare at him, "just because she's gone and the Three Nights happen doesn't mean that I regret you being my daughter. Now you're my blood and she's part of your blood as well … I love you just as much as I still love her ok?" Shina's red eyes and pink face calmly agreed to Ryo's statement. He smiled at her, moved some of her bangs away from her forehead, and kissed her, "let's go give our love to her together."
Both Shina and Ryo stood up together then hugged each other as they walked out of her room and into the small forest to see Sakura's grave. Once they got there Shina walked up and placed a small thing of Japanese Lilies, Tiger Lilies, and Easter Lilies.
"I miss her," Shina finally said once she placed it down and Ryo lighting a small incense burner. "I do too sweetheart," he said rubbing her back gently, "why don't you go and talk to Seiya now about the Three Nights?" She looked up at him as he smiled and rubbed her head again moving her sunglasses down. She gave a weak smile and took off towards the front gate.
Ryo turned his head back towards the grave stone, "she's so much like you … I wish you could be here then this would've never happened. I'm sorry for putting pressure on you … I'm sorry for a lot of things. But I'm not sorry for our daughter; she's made a choice on who to love … your mother is so stubborn I see why you said those things to me. I miss you with all my heart. I love you Sakura … I really do and you know that … now I must protect that which I love. I must now protect Shina. Give me the strength to do so."
As she walked down a barely brightened hallway and knocked on a door the one that opened was Seiya. He stared at her for a bit before answering, "hey … um … are you lost or something?" He walked past him and into the room, "don't be modest. I need to talk to you." He looked up at the door for a bit then cocked his head as he walked back inside and closed the door, "come again?" She pulled her sunglasses up to rest on her head with some of her bangs held back as well, "you heard me. I need to talk to you."
"About what," he yelled at her. She looked up at him as she sat down on one of the couches, "my powers." Seiya looked at her for a bit then sat down next to her and listened. "What I'm going to tell you doesn't get outside of this room … you can tell Yaten and Taiki but nobody else. Even if your life is on the line you don't tell anyone!" He nodded his head and looked her dead in the eyes, "ok … now …"
