A loud voice was calling for her, increasing with every moment. Louder and louder.

If only they'd shut up and be quiet.

She laid facedown, enveloped in a fluffy blanket, curled up in what felt like a comfortable position.

There they went again, yelling so loud it was invading her sleep.

Be quiet.

Her whole body was exhausted, couldn't the person who was screaming understand that? She wanted to sleep like this forever.

Just leave me alone.

The dreamy, euphoria feeling was so strong and welcoming---lulled her into a long and tranquil sleep.

Can't you understand I need rest in order to continue fighting?

A slight snore escaped her lips.

Fight.

Emiyo stood up so fast every part of her body vibrated with pain.

She was staring back at the alarmed face of a dark haired, wearing a white jacket, long pants, and gloves. It was none other then Lorelei.

"Wha---- what am I doing over here?" Emiyo looked around, shocked at the change of surroundings. Now aware of the cold she broke into shivers.

"That's what I want to know," Lorelei answered, looking her up and down. "And just so you know, I'm not the only one here." She pointed with her thumb to the other figures Emiyo hadn't noticed.

Turning her head slowly, so as not too cause a strain to her neck, Emiyo saw an entire pack of adults swarming around her. The hazel brown eyes of her mother, the dark hair of her father, tall and large figure of Mr. Oozora, and the glasses of small Mrs. Oozora.

"Here." said her father, handing her a blanket. Emiyo nodded silently, wrapping it around herself, the shivers stopping slightly.

No one was forcing her to speak. Which was good because Emiyo tried to remember what she was doing before--------

"I--- I have to go back!" Emiyo shouted suddenly, startling the entire group. "It's got to be here!"

"What?"

"The Trinity Lumière! That's the only way I got here!" Emiyo flailed her arms, the blanket flapping around like bat wings. She made to get up, but went white.

"Emiyo----wait! You've got to relax!" Her mother ordered.

She didn't listen and instead, searched around the white bundles of snow for the old book.

"Response to my emotions?"

"N-N-No, the Trinity Lumière c-c-can't d-d-do that-sa."

"It only responds to commands-ki. It needs specific orders and the holographic map must be present-ki."

"It means we have to find Prince Nobility as fast as possible. That's what the Trinity Lumière wants, and It just so happened that I was the closest there."

So then, why did it do that? Why did it activate out of nowhere? Bringing her her all of a sudden when her best friends were out there fighting? They were dead----the fairies no longer had a physical form.

Emiyo supposedly had all the memories of the Trinity Lumière, so she racked her brain for the answer as to why it happened. Something vibrated in Emiyo's thick skull, she cupped her temples with her hands. Of course, they're always around---with every kind thing in the world.
