"Honk" goes a horn, signaling the arrival and disembarkation of a passenger ship. Promptly, a door opens with a whoosh of air as sweaty travelers see land for the first time in hours. The opened door reveals commuters of all nations and tongues: Japanese, Asian, and white; but one pair of passengers was not like the rest. They were clearly taller and darker, drawing confused looks and surprised gazes their way.

The duo examines the new place. The short, quaint buildings, mountains in the distance, and trees fabricated a beautiful landscape. As the duo walks, the female sees food and jewelry in the distance and tells her brother, "LOOK! There's ice cream." Since their mission ended, they hadn't had anything sweet.

"But, we have a mission," the boy responds. The brother and sister had just finished a week-long voyage finding and eliminating a small clan of demons terrorizing a nearby island village.

"Pleeeeease??? It's food." She says.

"But Alaina..." He weakly argues, knowing his sister was relentless. When Alaina says something about food or fashion, it goes. When she says "Darius, I'm hungry," he gives up. They run over to the shop, and purchase ice cream and ramen. The siblings then find somewhere to sit, locating the nearest park, so they walk, talking about their next mission with a new partner.

Arriving in the park, Alaina and Darius sit at a bench. Cherry blossoms fall all around, and at late sunset, the sky illuminates pink and orange. The peach-colored mixture throws the siblings into a trance; they almost forgot to eat until a blossom blew into the ice cream, rousing a chuckle from the two.

Time passes and the teens eat, until they suddenly hear a rustling noise in the trees nearby. A first glance yields nothing, but when they eat again, the noise continues. After more rustling, Alaina pulls out her bow and arrows, anxious after the last mission, while Darius calmly cracks his knuckles.
