Inside of the Raiden shogun's chamber, there's Yae Miko waiting for the comatose Ei to wake up. Ei have been in this state for almost 4 days now.

Tomo and Ei were in the balcony of her chamber, as she sighed "When am I going to wake up? Am I slowly dying?" Ei asked herself "You might be..." Tomo agreed and spoke "Dying in that way is peaceful, but still leaves sadness to people that are close to you" Ei leaned against the railing and stared at the sakura petals below.

"If I die, will you accompany me in the afterlife? I don't want to be alone" Ei was now gazing at Tomo beside her who was facing the inside of the chamber. Tomo smiled and widened his eyes when he saw the puppet's fingers twitching "I think it's time for you to wake up, Ei" Tomo then pointed at the twitching body, as Yae held her shoulders.

Ei slowly walked beside the bed and Tomo followed behind her. Ei held Tomo's hand, as his surroundings blackened and was soon replaced by clear azure skies above.

Tomo never seen such beautiful abode in his lifetime or even in his afterlife

Tomo never seen such beautiful abode in his lifetime or even in his afterlife. It was an ethereal haven to him. It gives him such a tranquil feeling.

"Is this... the plane of euthymia? It's so beautiful" Tomo spoke with amazement in his eyes "Yes. It's been a long time since I came back here, ever since I've encountered you" Ei said, as she was in the middle of the plane, near a single sakura tree and a shinto behind it.

Ei turned around, as she summoned her katana "I'll come back later, Yae is still there" Ei spoke and tear a giant hole in the shinto by using space. In the shinto then showed the perspective of what's happening in the outside world. Ei then handed her katana to Tomo, as she said "hold on to my katana at all times. You can use this to tear up any matter in euthymia to be able to monitor me" Tomo stared at the purple blade and Ei continued "If the blade lights up, it means; I'm summoning mosou no hitotachi and offer it to the shinto" Tomo nodded, as Ei disappears in a zap.

Tomo then stabbed the katana at the ground and sat down at the roots of the sakura tree, as he monitored Ei's perspective.

Nothing much happened, it was just Yae kissing Ei and feeding her miso soup. Tomo yawned "It's beautiful here but kinda boring. The place is so plain" Tomo spoke to himself and stood up "Maybe I should decorate this place! I'm sure Ei wouldn't mind" Tomo then summoned his soul and thought about how to design the place "hmmm... maybe I should just use the old world I've made back then, Ei loved that place. But I'm gonna make some upgrades and changes to it" Tomo started working on it while Ei is gone.


Meanwhile, Ei was being fed by Miko "Why did you gone to Seirai Island?! Neko told me; you almost died" Miko spoke to Ei "I just wanted to explore my nation because it's been a long time since I've last stepped foot in the outside" Ei said "Don't be so reckless next time" Miko said and handed Ei the miso soup "I'll be going now, Ei. I still have work to attend to. I'll be back in dusk" Yae then kissed Ei's cheek before leaving her chamber.

Ei finished her miso soup and placed the bowl on the table next to her futon. Ei sat there and closed her eyes, as she gone back to euthymia.

Ei heard a music coming from a flute. She opened her eyes to see herself surrounded by sakura trees.

It was like Tomo's dreamland but it felt different. Ei then followed the music that was playing, as it led her to a wisteria flower tunnel and to the plane where she left Tomo.

Ei walked up to the sakura tree in the middle, as the music grew louder. She saw Tomo sitting on a branch of the tree while playing a flute.

(A/n:I didn't find any flute covers so yeah. Also I use Tomo's theme to make fall asleep)

Ei listened to the beautiful music Tomo was playing. The music left Ei feeling like she heard this before, but she never knew where.

Ei stood there and listened to the music. When Tomo finished, Tomo heard clapping making him turn around "That was a beautiful music. You always never fail to impress me" Ei cheered and Tomo blushed, as he got down.

Tomo bowed "Welcome back, Ei" Tomo spoke and hid the flute inside his sleeve like some kind of pocket "I see what you did to the place" Ei started and stared at the sakura trees surrounding the plane "Are you mad?" Tomo asked "I can change it back from— Tomo was interrupted by Ei "No, no, I'm not mad, I mean why would I be mad? You turned my euthymia into a beautiful dreamworld" Tomo smiled and Ei continued "I love it and it's going to stay like that as long as I wish" this made Tomo happy and held Ei's hand "Let's take a walk around the place" Tomo said with a bright smile, as they entered the wisteria flower tunnel.

The both of them walked through a pathway and it then leads to the gazebo. It was the same gazebo but it was across a pond.

Tomo was still holding her hand in his grasp, as they walked to the side of the pond that leads towards the gazebo.

They let go of each other's hands and Ei sat down, as Tomo poured tea on each of their cups "It's like dream world from before but with many changes" Ei said and stared at the pond near the gazebo "You noticed. Do you still like it even with changes?" Tomo asked and Ei nodded.

They then stayed there and drank their tea together in peace.
