Kei's POV
October 19, 2020 (Original Timeline)
"Tomorrow is going to be the biggest day of your life, Kei-chan."
Maya looked at me with a warm smile as she helped with fixing my wedding dress.
"We've both come a long way." she continued, sighing wistfully.
"We did, didn't we? After all those hardships, trials, and tribulations, I finally stand here, ready to begin a new chapter of my life. A chapter where I spend my life with someone until I die."
"I'm really, truly happy for you, Kei-chan." she said.
"Thank you." I said. "Hey, Maya-san, did you know? It's his birthday tomorrow. October 20th."
"Really? That's a weird coincidence." she remarked.
"No, it wasn't a coincidence. I made sure that our wedding day would be his birthday. I planned it to happen."
"Why?"
"Because my vows to stay with him until my dying breath will be the greatest gift I can ever give him."

Ayanokouji Residence
"It's that day, huh? I can't believe I dreamed about that day..."
I yawned as I woke up from my deep slumber, only to find most of my body aching and being extremely sore.
"Urgh... I remember... me and Kiyotaka did it last night..."
I forgot that we don't exactly have adult bodies...
It slipped my mind that me and Kiyotaka are supposed to be in our young bodies, so let's just say last night was.... rougher than it should have been.
It's seriously.... too big... Oh well, this is the result of my own actions.

"You were too loud last night, Mom." Honami deadpanned as I went down to the dining room for breakfast.
Shin was simply sighing, while Suzuki, Miharu, and Shizuku were all blushing. Hoshino Ai and Ruby were the same, while Aqua was simply staring blankly at us. Shinobu, meanwhile, looked like she couldn't hold her laughter. Lelouch and Nunnally simply looked indifferent.
"We couldn't sleep last night." Shin sighed again.
"You're all exaggerating. She wasn't that loud." Kiyotaka came from behind me, face blank as always.
"She wasn't, but with a house this quiet, her voice carried pretty far inside the mansion." Honami remarked. "Anyway, breakfast is ready, you're the last ones to wake up."
With that, both me and Kiyotaka went straight to the table as Matsuo-san served us breakfast.
"Are you guys going to be staying here for a while?" I asked the Hoshino family.
"Despite everything, I really don't feel safe in our apartment, so please let us stay here for a few weeks until we found a new one. I won't be here all the time, though. I still have idol work to do, after all!" she said.
It's impressive that she still has the will to go on even after what happened during the incident.
"It's fine! You guys will be safe here, don't worry!" I said. "With that being said, though... there are still problems to deal with."
"Horikita Sumire." Suzuki said the name simply as we continue to eat. "I can't believe we encounter something like this far into our time here."
"It's ridiculous." Honami said. "Still, we have to do something about this. Hey, Shizuku-chan, did your dad say something about this?"
