Aether, Ei, and Paimon teleported to the plane of euthymia, to visit Tomo.

When they got there, Tomo was standing under a sakura tree and Paimon squeezed him into a hug.

"Huh-uh... Paimon" Tomo spoke that Paimon unexpectedly hugged him "Paimon missed you! Paimon is so happy to see you again!" Paimon exclaimed and Tomo patted her back.

Ei watched him giggle at the pixie and Tomo looked at her "What?" Tomo questioned "I'm waiting for my turn" Ei said softly and Tomo giggled.

Tomo let's go of Paimon and hugged Ei in a embrace.

Ei hugged back and nuzzled her face against his chest.

Paimon just floated there, watching the two hug in eachothers' arms "uhh..." Paimon spoke and flew back towards Aether.

Paimon then whispered "Like I said, it's wei— Aether nudged the pixie on stopping her from finishing "Shhhhh..." Aether hushed the emergency food.

Ei broke the hug and noticed that there's no more landforms in their surroundings. It was just a vast of water.

"Wait... what happened? Why aren't there trees anymore?" Ei asked in confusion and turned to Tomo.

"I'm sorry that I hid this from you but..." Tomo started and looks away from her gaze "My soul mysteriously disappeared... the only thing that I have managed to keep was my emotions bound to my soul" Tomo finished and scratched the back of his head.

"What...?" Paimon spoke and Aether hummed "Is it because you have stayed for too long?" Ei asked and Tomo shrugged "This didn't happened before or I just didn't noticed this happening, but your soul must stay with your spirit together at all costs" Tomo said

"Does your soul and spirit still connected with your physical body?" Ei asked and Tomo puts a hand under his chin "I didn't questioned that to Kawatare but I think..." Tomo said

"These weird events...It could not be... it's impossible..." Aether mumbled "What's impossible, Aether?" Paimon asked "If we want to know further about this, we need to ask someone related to spirits and the supernatural" Aether spoke

Tomo turned to Aether and said "There's no need for you to solve this mystery, Aether. I'm sure I can find the reason behind this myself" Aether nodded at him "If you say so..." Aether said.

"We're heading out now. It was nice meeting you again, Tomo" Paimon said with a smile "You too" Tomo returned the smile

The travelers and Ei then brought them back to the real world "Thank you for letting us visit him" Aether said

"Before you two go. Can I do a favor? And please give this scarf to Kaedehara Kazuha on my behalf" Ei then handed Aether the scarf that was resting around her neck.

Aether nodded and they waved goodbye to Ei.
Ei watched the traveler and his companion leave Tenshukaku, as she heard a knock on her door.

"You may enter" Ei allowed the person to enter and it revealed Kujou Sara.

"Shogun-sama, the transferee has been finished" Kujou Sara reported "Where are they now?" Ei asked "They are all in the throne room. May I escort you there?" Kujou Sara said and Ei nodded.

The Kujou Tengu then escorted the Bakufu towards the throne room to inspect the visions.

Ei then saw 4 separate stacks of boxes and were marked 'Watatsumi', 'Yashiori', 'Kannazuka', and 'Narukami'.

"Are these all?" Ei asked and turned to the general "Yes, Shogun-sama" Kujou Sara nodded her head.

Ei then noticed some of the boxes have red and blue paper strips attached to it "What are these red and blue strips?" Ei asked and touched one of the boxes.

"Those boxes with red strips are wielders that were deceased" Kujou Sara answered and Ei went silent that most of the boxes were marked in red.

The Tengu then opened one of the box, to reveal smaller boxes with folders on top of each boxes.

"These folders are attached to the box, to determine who's the masters of the visions" Kujou Sara said and Ei nodded.

"Kujou-san, can you move my office desk and chair here?" Ei ordered and the Tengu bowed in obedience "Yes, Shogun-sama" Kujou Sara spoke and left the throne room.

/few minutes later/

Kujou Sara then came back with the chair and guards helping her lift the desk inside the throne room.

"Thank you, Kujou Sara" Ei said and Sara with the guards left the room.

Ei then carried one box and placed it next to her desk. She then pulls out a casket(not Tomo's deathbed/coffin)

"I can finish this in less than 24 hours..." Ei challenged herself and started writing letters for 48 people.

/4 hours later/

Ei yawned that she just finished 20 letters "Just 28 more to go— A knock on the door interrupted Ei.

Raiden stretched her arms and stood up from the chair to answer the door "My butt hurts from sitting for hours..." Ei groaned and opened the door.

Without even a word coming out from her mouth, she was then pulled into a squeeze by Yae Miko.

"Ei~ Are you free today~?" Yae sang and Ei tried to pull away from the kitsune

"No. I'm expensive everyday" Ei spoke making the priestess giggle "That's not what I mean. I meant that, do you have free time?" Yae said

"I'm busy today, Miko" Ei said and pushed the sliding door open to let her see the boxes inside the throne room.

Yae stepped into the room and picked one of the caskets "What are these?" Yae asked and saw a letter inside.

"Those are for the vision wielders that surrendered their vision and fought the Shogun" Ei answered

"Oh... do you need some help?" Yae offered her assistance "Sure" Ei nodded and gave her a box to deliver to Ritou.

Yae puts down the casket and rummaged around the box "What am I supposed to do?" Yae asked

"Help me write some letters" Ei said "What kind of letters?" Yae asked

Ei hummed "How about, you write my sentences into the letters" Ei said and Yae nodded.

They then began making the letters...

"Dear Hanabusa Nariko(my kny oc lol),
     My deepest apologies for forcing you to surrender your vision with your ambition binds in it.

It doesn't matter if you may forgive me or not of my past deeds. I just want to return this vision, as it belongs rightfully yours.

If you ever desired a wish to achieve, please write it on the back of this letter and send it to the tri-commission to inform the Shogun, so she can grant your will.

(Pretend there's a signature)
Signed by: Raiden Shogun "
