A few weeks later, everyone had settled down. In Jun's house everything was back to being how it used to be which turned out to be not quite settled down, as usual.

"Tea, Jun!" Shinku exclaimed, jabbing her pink cane in the direction of the door handle, which she still failed to reach without Jun's assistance, much to his amusement. The smile was wiped clean off by Shinku.

"Ow!"

Hinaichigo stopped running away from Kanaria to laugh at Jun.

Then the doors to his chaotic room opened and Nori came in. "Settle down, everybody," she said. Kanaria noticed her apron and her eyes brightened in expectation.

Noticing this, Nori went on. "Who wants cookies?"

Those words were enough to make them all go downstairs for a taste of Nori's cooking. In the living room, Katsutoshi was waiting. He smiled warmly at Shinku as she entered the room.

"Hello, Shinku," he said, reaching for a plate of cookies. He passed them to Shinku. She smiled at him in return. He'd really changed. At first everyone was still suspicious of him, especially after he randomly entered Jun's house and a day later plead his love for her.

But now, he was a welcome member of the family. Shinku bit into the cookie with a sly smile.

"What is it, Shinku?" Katsutoshi asked, smiling himself. Shinku merely looked at her ring finger and continued smiling. Even if Katsutoshi had vowed to protect her and adorned her rose with thorns and wasn't able to leave her side, she knew that as all the thorns had disappeared, his love may be quite true.

"Look!"

Shinku looked up. Hinaichigo was pointing cheekily at her. "Shinku is blushing!"

She stood up in defiance. "I am not-"she trailed off when her eyes looked over Hinaichigo and onto the television screen. "Kun-kun!"

She proceeded to gather her dress, jump off the seat and run over to the television screen. Jun and Katsutoshi sighed and followed them to the now crowded couch. Later on that day, Hinaichigo returned to Tamoe and Kanaria to her owner, once a medium, Mitsu.

In the household of the 'old man', Suiseiseki flipped over a table and threw a chess piece at Souseiseki.

"No fair!"

"It was a fair win," Souseiseki said calmly, plucking the piece out of the groove in her top hat and placing it beside her so Suiseiseki couldn't throw it again. Said doll slumped down onto a cushion and crossed her arms.

"Come on, now," Mitsuru said, patting her on the head.

"Hey!" Suiseiseki protested.

Mitsuru smiled at her and continued patting. She sighed and gave no resistance to being treated like a child. Then the door slid open and gramps walked in, carrying a tray filled with tea cups. Souseiseki and Shinichi hurried over and took it from his hands.

"Enjoy this tea, but please don't spill any," he said, smiling with wrinkles, and particularly at Suiseiseki who pouted in response.

"Thank you," Souseiseki and Shinichi chorused before taking it to the table.

The four reset the chess board.

"It's the Pages turn," Suiseiseki declared and scooted over to the side. Mitsuru took her place. He adjusted his monocle wisely. Suiseiseki grinned confidently at the winning of her team thanks to him.

"Don't let me down, Shinichi," Souseiseki said and smiled gently at said doll in which Shinichi's cheeks tinged pink in response.

The four continued playing like that for the rest of the morning before they decided to make their way to the park where Suiseiseki first met Mitsuru. The four flew over there and lay down on the grass happily, enjoying the sunlight and the tranquil quiet.

Somewhere nearby in the same park but on different grass, Suigintou lay beside Meg.

"Don't ever leave my side, Suigintou," Meg said softly as she gazed up at the puffy white clouds. Suigintou had grown used to her using her name instead of addressing her as an angel.

She nodded once and stared up at the clouds with her. She wondered how Rozen was doing, but pushed it out of her thoughts. Everything was over. She didn't need to worry any more about anything.

Even missing her father dearly, she knew by living peacefully she was fulfilling his wishes, and that was enough for her.
