"Guys! Come quick!" Luca yelled. Both Akiko and Alberto got up. "What's wrong, Luca?" Akiko asked.
"You gotta come see this!" Luca replied, running back to where he came from. Akiko and Alberto followed Luca out of the forest to see the rest of the group. Astro looked as if he was hiding something, because he was. "Astro? What are you hiding?" Akiko asked. Astro hid something behind his back and showed it to the group moments later. Astro revealed a Violin, which was fully intact. It looked as if it was new, but it surely wasn't. It was Akiko's Violin, which had been destroyed because of the crash. Akiko was shocked. Astro gently handed the Violin over to Akiko. The girl couldn't believe it! It was like a dream. "Is this-?" Akiko asked in disbelief. Astro finished her sentence. "Your Violin? Yeah." He said shyly.
"But, how--? It was broken-." Akiko asked. She was almost speechless. Astro pointed to the left side of his chest. Akiko cocked her head to the side. Just then, a blue light shown from behind Astro's jacket and then Akiko knew. Astro fixed her Violin with the Positive Energy he was able to conduct. Akiko's hair turned hot pink, indicating affection. The fifteen year old girl pulled the group into a huge familial embrace. "Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Akiko said. Astro felt just a little bit of pride in himself as Trollex felt relief. As everyone was released from the hug, Akiko led the Group to through Greece, which was surprisingly not as crowded as Amman. About half a day later, they arrived in Bosnia & Herzegovina, which was near Croatia and Slovenia. When they reached Bosnia & Herzegovina, they walked through the small town before reaching a huge statue, which was called the Tjentište, about two hours after walking through the town. Akiko couldn't believe it! This was one of the places her Sōsofu want her to visit one day. "Ratni spomenik Tjentište." Akiko said in awe.
"This Monument was formed in Honor of the Bosnian War." Bella said.
"What's this Monument called?" Astro asked.
"It's called the Tjentište War Memorial." Akiko said. A few minutes later, they climbed up the huge, two-piece monument. Bella, Astro, Guido, and Ciccio climbed onto the monument piece on the right as Akiko, Luca, and Alberto climbed onto the monument piece on the left. Akiko was awestruck as the view overtook her. "I wish my Sōsofu were here to see this." She said. Alberto's gaze landed on Akiko, who was at the top of the monument piece. Alberto frowned as he heard the girl's wish. He immediately knew that Akiko's Sōsofu had passed away. Alberto knew this due to how Akiko spoke. Akiko frowned as she looked down in sadness as her hair turned blue. Alberto saw Akiko's Violin, which was close to him, and picked it up, wanting to hand it to Akiko. Alberto walked over to the grieving Japanese girl as the Violin was in front of him. He held the Case with one hand on the bottom of it, and his other hand holding it steady on top of the case. Akiko continued grieving, silently, as she saw the 14 year old Sea Boy. "Do.. you wanna talk to him?" Alberto asked as he opened the Violin Case, revealing Akiko's Violin. Alberto handed the Violin Case to Akiko, ready to the girl to take her Violin out. Akiko hesitated for a split second only to be reassured to Alberto's pleading facial expression. The Japanese girl smiled warmly as she nodded and toon her Violin out of its Case. Alberto continued holding the Case as Akiko looked at the Photo within the Case, and bowed her upper body. She then turned to face the front of the Monument piece as she took a deep breath, and played. Akiko played a beautiful, heartwarming song called 'Peace' by one of her favorite Violin artists, 'Prayer Pray'. As she played her Violin, the Musical Positive Energy emerged from Akiko and her Violin. The Positive Energy, just like on the boat to Amman, was very powerful and strong. And just like when she was talking to her Sōsofu about the Negative Vision she had, she heard a Cello in her mind, which was her Sōsofu replying and talking to Akiko. Tears streamed from Akiko's face cried as her hair turned a healthy green, indicating renewal. Akiko smiled, with her eyes closed, as she continued playing, which conducted more and more Positive Energy by each note. Sooner or later, it started to rain slightly. Guido noticed the sudden, calm downpour as Luca and Alberto transformed into Sea Monsters. "Look, Luca! The sky's leaking!" Alberto exclaimed quietly as Luca smiled. As Akiko was finishing her song, the rain cleared up, revealing a beautiful, twilight sky. Akiko opened her eyes to the beautiful sight and smiled. "It's beautiful!" She said as she turned to Alberto, who already transformed back into a human due to the rain stopping. "Thank you, Alberto." She said, smiling warmly.
