💙 "Luna?!" "H-hi." 💙 "Come in, come in!" Selene ushers her daughter into the beautiful home before closing the door behind her. 💙 "Sweetheart, what are you doing here?" "Mom!" Luna cries as she throws her entire body at her mother. Selene catches her and begins rubbing her back. "I messed up so bad! I lost my best friend! I lost the man I love! And I killed Nana!" 💙 "What?" The older woman whispers as she gently pushes her daughter's shoulders back. 💙 "Okay... Okay tell me what happened. And don't leave any details out." So, just like Luna did with Akasuki, she tells her mother everything. Though, she may have kept a couple things to herself with Suki. But with with her mother, she tells her every little detail, feeling, and emotion she experienced. 💙 "Oh, my baby." Selene cries softly with her daughter, angry that she wasn't there to help. 💙 "I'm so sorry, my little jewel. You've been through so much more than I expected." "What do I... What do I do, mom? Nana is gone, Toshi is ignoring me, and Torino hates me... I feel so alone." Luna sobs into her mother's shoulder, who holds her daughter tightly in return. 💙 'Sigh.' "I know things seem hopeless right now, but don't give up just yet. Give them both time to heal and grieve for their friend. Then you can try again." "Do you think it'll work?" 💙 "I'm not sure, darling. But I do know things are always healed with time." "Time," Luna mumbles. "Okay. I'll give it some time. And then I'll try again." 💙 "That's my girl." Selene smiles warmly as she pats her daughter's head. 💙 "Now come. Let's have some tea and catch up."

"No! That's not true!" 💙 "Luna, I know you've been smoking again." "Leila! You're such a tattletale!" Luna yells at her sister before throwing a small 'planet' at her. She squeals and dodges before running down the hall, avoiding Luna's fiery grasp. "Get your ass back here! Snitches are bitches and bitches get stitches!" 🩵 "You're crazy!" "I know I am! And you're about to be a dead bitch!" Before Luna can jump onto her sister's back, she's suspended in mid air. Selene sighs as she stares at her youngest daughter with crossed arms. 💙 "Luna Eclipses Aeliana, watch your mouth. And Leila, quite being a tattletale. It's not cute." Luna snickers, causing her mother to smile softly. It's been a couple months since she came to Tokyo, heartbroken over something she had no control over. But she's healed some since then. It hasn't been easy. Especially when her old friends text her everyday, or when she looks at her old group chat, now nothing but faint memories being left behind.

"Mom~ come on~ It's not even real! I haven't smoked a real cigarette since I got here." Selene sighs again before releasing Luna, who sighs in relief as her feet touch the ground. "Thank you." 💙 "Mhm~ I better not catch you smoking a real one though." "I promise on my favorite star I won't smoke a real cigarette." 💙 "Good." "Oh, but before I forget. Leila has been dating that guy that said he wanted to sleep with all three of us." 💙 "She's WHAT?!"

🩵 "It's your 19th birthday, Luna. How do you want to celebrate?" Said woman hums as she sits and thinks about it for a moment. Last year she almost went back to Japan to see her friends and brothers, but she chickened out and ended up just going shopping with her mother and sister. "I think this might be the year." Leila's eyes widen as a smile grows on her face. "What's that look for?" 🩵 "Oh, nothing. It's just... you'll get to see your boyfriend again." "He's not my boyfriend. He literally hates me." 🩵 "No he doesn't, Luna. Have you talked to your stars recently to check on him?" "No. I'm afraid of what they might say." 🩵 "Go home, Luna. At least for some closure." Luna sighs as she slumps back on her bed. Her sister sits next to her before laying down as well. 🩵 "I know it's scary, Lunes, but you need to at least try. Don't grow up, only to regret not knowing if it would've worked out or not." 'Sigh.' "I hate it when you're right." Leila chuckles before sitting up, dragging Luna up with her.
