She was so familiar to him, as though she was a dream he had soon forgot and to her he was nothing at all but the person who made her glow and she wonders if she'll finally be able to say it- Unaware that it was fate tying them both together now; De...

MAI
"The moon looks so nice today, right?" Mai asks while she packs in a few equipment she and Lin had already put out. They decided it was all over once Akemi and Naru told them the maiden was gone. A few more minutes of searching the house finding out it was totally clean made the SPR claim the cliff house is spirit free.
So here they were packing their stuff in the middle of the night. Naru dislikes the idea of staying in for the night with no more work to cement their stay. Despite the grumbling that came from Mai after learning of their immediate leave, Naru remained his stand.
"It sure is," Akemi elegantly smiles when the breeze of the night started to get a bit strong. Her silvery waves flowing out and playing around like the currents. The sight of it glimmered like moonlight threads touched with majesty. Akemi tried to keep a hold of them by the nape of her neck, placing a hand to catch her hair but a few more rebelled and kept blessing the wind with its dance.
"A— a Moon fairy!"
Naru glances, turning his head to towards the two females. The wind still blowing, his dark hair tickling his forehead and eyes with a ghostly touch.
"Akemi! Mai! Let's go." He calls, opening the backseat of the van to let Akemi and Oliver get inside while he moves towards the passenger seat at front.
"Wait!" Mai pauses just as she was about to get inside the roaring van. Turning her head, she sees the old lady— holding a small plastic aquarium with something swimming inside.
"Yes?" Mai hops back down, Akemi leaning her head out along with her dog to also see what the old woman needs.
But it seems that wasn't the case as the old woman smiles, handing Mai the water filled bag which the high schooler recognizes to be a turtle— a baby turtle.
'Eh...?' the high schooler blinks, lifting her confused eyes towards the happy old woman.
"Thanks to you SPR, she is free..." The old woman's eyes brightened with unfallen tears. " Thanks to you all— my sister and her lover can finally rest in peace... Thank you... " The old woman continued to display her gratitude and this was the part Mai always loved when it comes to her job,
With a soft gaze, Mai's smile widens. Looking back to see Akemi still peeking out with her delight and Naru looking back at them with his own shielded gaze, yet its softness can be seen.
