"Leaving aside the scolding, I recommend doing something about the humans you've met and..." The old vampire looks at Doraemon who had spirals in his eyes from being unconscious "A kind of blue raccoon? Whatever. Scarlet Moon has been very active lately, it seems they want to start a war taking advantage of the fact that you haven't assumed your role as Vampire Queen. If humans go to Amarant, they could be in danger because of that tension, it's not good to have problems with other planets, even if it's a less advanced one."

"You can't deny my Earth friends from going to my ceremony, they threw me a birthday party, they took care of me, they gave me a home, they made me feel like I can have genuine friendships. Besides, I know Nobita well enough even after a month and a half of knowing each other, I would insist on going anyway and I want him to be with me at that moment in my life." Selene says a little irritated.

The council looks at each other and then at the princess "Then we will have to erase the human child's memory" What Donovan says makes Selene paler, she was going to lose another friend, again, terror had taken hold of her heart.

"In fact, it wouldn't help if we just erase his memory, the rest of those in the cabin will also have to forget this whole business of our species and your existence. And while we're at it, we could use the Vampiric Shine, you know, our spell that we use with magentun to alter someone's (existence) specifically to a specific sector. We can only use it once a year, because it involves a lot of magentun energy for half and part of our blood as half of the energy for that power, since it alters the reality of the target, but there's no more suitable time than now."

"We'll use it on these kids' human city that way, EVERYONE there will forget about you, they'll think they just met an ordinary, nothing special girl, any trace of you will be erased. Think about it, if we just do the erasure thing with these kids, you interacted with that city, they'll know about you again, we're not going to risk it and we don't know what Earth humans are capable of, especially because of the what did Scarlet Moon do, so it's better to be safe than sorry" said another council member while scratching his head

"Are you going to make Nobita and everyone else I interacted with forget I ever existed? It's not fair, I've been able to make real friends, I don't want to lose them, I wanted to keep communicating with them even after returning home, you can't do this to me!" Selene starts crying again in frustration and pain.

Donovan kneels in front of the girl who was just crying in pain "If you think about it that way, then think about what happened today. These kids went through something terrible just because of you, especially him"

Selene looks at Nobita who had to sit down, the adrenaline rush he had from yelling at the council a moment ago had disappeared and he weakened again, he still hadn't fully recovered "Apparently, a vampire bit him and he's weak, so it must have been the work of the Scarlet Moon. They're still after you. How will you know if he doesn't really die next time if he goes through the same thing again? He almost died because of you after all"

He almost died because of you. That sentence was enough for Selene to relive the past of their old friendship in her mind, and she reminded again of what happened a while ago with Nobita, the old man's words were cruel, but in the heart of the platinum girl, she felt them somewhat true, even she began to think about one thing.

Lady Belladonna takes it out on her friend because of her

Selene bows her head accepting this with pain in her heart, not only did she have to accept her fate with no escape, but now she had to part with the friend she cared so much for, and he wasn't going to remember her. Half of her heart didn't want to do it... But the other part felt that to protect him; he had to forget her.

The girl was just crying, Nobita noticed that getting back up with difficulty and slowly approaching to hear what was happening, Selene didn't notice her because of how hurt she was. "Then it's decided; We'll leave the human boy and his friends in their houses, you'll collect all evidence of your existence that you consider salvageable so that it won't be erased and we'll use the spell, the human city will forget that you existed, all records of you will be deleted and they'll only think that an ordinary girl who barely interacted with them came and went, nor will they remember what that girl looked like, only that she existed instead of you"

"WHAAAAAT?!" Selene hears Nobita's scream, she slowly turns around, seeing how the clumsy boy had a look of sadness and pain, the same one she had. "No, I don't want to forget you, I don't want anyone to forget you, Selene, you're my friend, I don't want to forget you!"

"I... I don't want you to forget me either, Nobita! But..." The vampiress with tears in her eyes, just takes a deep breath turning to look at the old man "Can I be the one to do it? At least, only with him"

Donovan nods as Lady Mara comes closer to look, the little vampiress smiles at the boy while he only tears come out "But... We are friends, right?" he says with his voice breaking.

Selene wipes her tears, so she can smile at him, she wanted that even if he ends up forgetting her, that her smile be the last thing he sees before parting ways. "We are, Nobita, we will always be friends"

"But... I couldn't protect you before, you almost died because of me, not once, but twice, so let me protect you this way" The vampire can't help but take her friend by the hands, seeing how he smiled at her and how the adult vampires stepped aside, Nobita looks away closing his eyes tightly while crying, he understood what she was going to do. "Please Nobita, look me in the eyes"

"I don't want to forget you! Don't you understand? It's thanks to you that I've been able to do better at school, that I could speak for myself when I was treated badly, I don't get scolded anymore, I like spending time with you, I don't want to forget you, I don't want to forget your smile, don't do this to me, I don't want to forget you! I'm not going to open my eyes, I'm not going to look at you! If I do... If I look at you... IF I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES, I'M NOT GOING TO REMEMBER YOU ANYMORE, I DON'T WANT TO PART FROM YOU IN THIS WAY!"

"But Nobita, I just gave you a little push, you did the rest on your own, you must move forward without me, you are on the right path. And even if you forget me, we won't stop being friends. Do you remember the promise? I know that in your heart I'll always be your friend, even if in your mind you won't know it, that is unbreakable. I'll accept my destiny too to prevent them from harming innocent people, to prevent them from hurting you. Thank you for everything you have done for me, thank you for your support and how you took care of me."

The boy only cried, he still didn't want to look his friend in the eyes, he knew what would happen if he looked into those violet eyes that had caught his attention since dreams, he didn't want to forget the good times he lived with her, how he protected her and how she protected him. He didn't want to get rid of that, of the happiness of having shared space and mutual support.

"We will both have each other in our hearts, please look into my eyes, do me that last favor, let me protect you, okay?" Selene smiles at him, but inside she was suffering from having to do what she was going to do, but the guilt she shouldn't feel was eating her up to the point that she thought THAT was the right thing to do, the affection she had for her friend was such that she was willing to let him go.

With the little vampire's insistence, the boy slowly fixes his gaze on her and slowly opens his eyes, letting out a couple more tears. In his heart he didn't want to do it, but he was already at the point where it was what he had to do, he had to do it for her at least, for that trust she gave him "Take care of yourself Selene, I know you'll do well, we'll always be friends, even if my head doesn't know it." He smiles for a moment to give her a happy memory for Selene, but then he becomes sad again.

The vampire's beautiful eyes, like shining amethysts, shine making Nobita's eyes turn violet entering a trance, but still with a sad face. Selene becomes sad in the same way, so with a brittle voice and tears in her bright eyes, she whispers in his ear while putting her hand on her human friend's cheek.

"Sleep, FORGET ME and move on"

Nobita slowly begins to fall asleep, Selene manages to catch him in her arms before falling onto the grass, Selene gently lays him down, while with his eyes still violet, the boy began to doze off, his eyelids began to close, the last thing he sees being Selene's smile, who tells him "Thank you for being my friend, Nobita."

The sound of the alarm clock makes Nobita slowly open his eyes, he was in his room, he had his pajamas on and his glasses were next to his futon, the boy sits, looks around and turns off his watch. He puts on his glasses while Doraemon slides the closet door.

"Good morning Nobita, you woke up early today too, you're on a roll all of a sudden." The robot cat says to him, greeting him. "Did something happen to you that you decided to take charge of life?"

Nobita just looks at him "I just... I just don't know, I just wanted to do it and that's all, I guess. But I don't feel irritated by this change. I'll go down to have breakfast."

The boy gets up, he didn't seem to have any bites on his neck, although he felt it hurt a little, he thought it was because he slept badly. He puts away his futon, Doraemon goes down because he was also going to have breakfast.

The blue cat steps forward, opens the door to the room where there was only the usual wall across the hall and the small window. The boy turns to look at his desk arching his eyebrow, he approaches for a moment to see what was there, there were his usual things, he opens the drawers where he only sees a group of photos of them at the beach, but in these there was only him, Doraemon and Shizuka, no one else...

Nobita looks at the photos, puts them away again, and finally turns to go to the hallway yawning as he went down the stairs to have breakfast and start another day of school.
