Laala's POV...
Where was I?
Right, I had found a nice area to sit on... on a levee by the river... after running away from the hospital...
I remembered... That was the place where I decided to change myself...
The air was nice.
I put my earphones on. Playing that song was like saying goodbye to everyone...
And the sun was setting. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the fleeting colors of dusk began to fade away. The charcoal-black rocks circled around small pools of water, shimmering confidently before dark fell upon them.
Just like my life...
I hid away from them. I knew what was going to happen. I knew it for a long time, yet still concealed it all, anyway. I insisted that, if I were going to die, let it not be in a dreary hospital room, at least.
- "The sun is setting... Just like me... I really... really don't want to die inside the hospital..." - She looked at the sky, "Shougo, I'm sorry..."
She closed her eyes.
- "Thanks."
Looked like...
Noone's POV...
The police, doctor, Laala's family, and friends were looking for her everywhere. But when they found her, she was already gone.
- "Mr. Manaka, Ms. Manaka, I'm sorry to tell you that..."
Not letting the doctor finish his sentence, Non, Yui, the rest of Solami Dressing, and Hibiki (not Shougo, since he hadn't woken up yet) rushed to her body, which was about to be taken to the ambulance.
- "No... No... It couldn't be..." - Yui cried so hard and hugged her best friend's body.
- "Onee-chan... please wake up... Onee-chan... PLEASE WAKE UP!" shout Yui while shaking Laala's body but nothing happened at all...
- "Not again..." - For the first time since Hibiki cut her hair, she shed tears, "Why did I fail to protect you again?"
- "Laala... no... don't leave..." - said Mirei and Sophie crying.
- "Laala... We can't... We just can't...lose you now..." - said DrePa crying while looking at Laala's body.
The rest (except for the police) couldn't do anything but comfort those who were crying.
Inside PriPara...
Inside Kagari's tower...
- "No... It couldn't be... She couldn't be gone..." - Kagari stood up but fell down to her feet right away.
Her savior.
Her treasure.
Her friend.
She was gone...
- "I... I must do something... But..."
Timeskip...
When Shougo woke up, he rushed out to find Laala. But he was informed that Laala was gone. He broke into tears.
- "Why... Why... Why did God have to take you away? Why did everyone I cared for keep leaving me? I... I... I can't protect her... Yet she always did everything to make me happy... Even if it hurt her a lot..."
- "Laala!!!"

Several months after Laala's funeral...
Inside Pripara...
At night...
- "I can't sleep-garu..."
Garuru opened the door of Time Tower and walked out. She heard someone singing and followed the voice.
Getting nearer to the flower garden, the voice became louder. Someone was dancing and singing next to the Kagari's tower.
Even in the dark, with the light from the moon, Garuru could make out something.
Twintails.
Lavender hair.
Pink Ribbon.
It couldn't be...
She had gone for almost a year...
It just couldn't be...
But that voice...
It was the same as her first performance...
Her Prism Voice...
- "Laala!" - Garuru suddenly called out.
Then...
The voice stopped.
That person turned to look at Garuru.
The kind Sea Green eyes.
That made Garuru smile happily thinking that was 100% Laala.
But...
That person turned away and closed her eyes. Her body turned into petals and disappeared with the wind.
- "..." - Garuru's eyes widened in shock, "I must tell this to Falulu-garu!"
She rushed to Falulu's room.
Somewhere...
- "Did I tell you not to go out?"
- "Sorry... I just want to sing and dance outside..."
- "Next time, don't do it. Everyone will notice you, you know."
- "Fine..."
- "One day I will let you..."
- "Really!? Can I make friends too?"
- "Of course, if they aren't dangerous for you."
- "Yeah, Thanks, Ka-"
That person suddenly stopped. What she was trying to say? She couldn't remember... Did she say something like that in the past? It couldn't be possible...
- "You're welcome, ...
