"Come on, Ei! Hurry up!"

Under the vibrant, lantern lit streets of Inazuma, Ei, Makoto, and (Name) strolled, their laughter echoing through the night. Makoto tells stories of her adventures as an archon, Ei about mastering various martial arts and (Name) about being on this journey with them.
They reveled in the bond that only sisters could share. The rhythmic tapping of their geta sandals created a melody as they explored the blooming landscapes of their beloved nation.

"Alright, alright, (Name), I'm coming."
Ei's voice rang through as she impatiently clung onto her other sister's Kimono sleeve.

"Now, (Name).. you know your sister, don't you?"
It was now Makoto's soft and gentle voice that was carrying through the soft breeze.

Ei catches up to them, and started speaking with a slight grin;
"Remember the time we tried sneaking into the sacred shrine?"

Makoto internally face palms with a sigh, her gesture making (Name) giggle.
"Oh, how could I forget? (Name) nearly tripped over her own kimono, and we ended up in that impromptu dance." The youngest sister froze for a moment, making the eldest two stifle a laugh.

"Hey, you two! It was dark! Besides, it was a masterpiece. The dance of stealth."
She began to mimic the dance they all saw that night, making her older sisters laugh in return once again. Makoto spoke up once more;

"Stealth is not your strong suit, (Nickname). But it made for a memorable night, for sure." She looks around for a second, her light purple hair flowing in the soft breeze.

"Speaking of nights.. Inazuma looks breathtaking under these lights. It's like the entire nation is lit with the glow of our dreams." Ei and (Name) nod in unison, letting their purple eyes wander around their beautiful nation.

"It feels like home.
We're lucky to have each other.
Right?"

. . . . . . . . . .

Ei's eyes fluttered open, the dream lingering like a wisp in her mind. The laughter of Makoto and (Name) echoed faintly as she stared at the dimly lit room.

For a moment, she cherished the warmth of the shared memories before reality set in. It was just a dream, a nostalgic dance through the streets of Inazuma with her sisters.

"You seem lost in thought, Ei. A dream, perhaps?"
She jumps at the sudden voice, turning to see a familiar pink haired Kitsune.
"It felt so real. THEY felt so real." Ei mutters.

Miko sighs with a small laugh,
"Dreams can be like whispers from our hearts, telling us what we hold dear. Missing them?"
Tho she was comforting her best friend, the mischievous tone from her voice never left.

Yae gained a quiet "Terribly" from the purple haired woman in front of her.
She knew how much Ei suffered from the loss of those two, she did, too.

Maybe not as much as Ei did, but the wounds that were left on not only their, but also the hearts of the people of Inazuma, still ache.
With Miko's words echoing in her heart, Ei resumed her role as the Electro Archon, governing Inazuma with a blend of grace and strength.

Her pursuit of eternity led her to implement reforms and innovations, shaping Inazuma's future.

The city hummed with the energy of progress, a reflection of Ei's unwavering determination.
As the seasons changed, so did Inazuma under Ei's guidance.
She embraced the responsibility of leadership, forging alliances and ensuring the well-being of her people.

Yet, amidst the duties, the dream of eternity lingered, an aspiration that fueled her every decision.
