Considered abominations of nature by a fate they did not choose to inflict upon themselves, Amalie and Kol had always seemed to be in a perpetual battle against the very essence of death. But the day arrived when "always and forever" proved to be a...
After bidding farewell to Draken, Takemichi wasted no time lingering, spurred by Draken's mention of urgent business. Alone in the streets, he found himself ensnared in contemplation, his mind grappling with the images that adorned Draken's wall.
Among them, one picture seized his attention—a captured moment where Kol and Emma shared a warm embrace, their smiles exuding genuine happiness, while Amalie stood beside them, grinning widely. Emma's rosy blush captivated Takemichi, prompting a smile to dance across his face as he considered Kol's evident affection for the honey-blonde girl.
" Putting that aside... Kol genuinely cares about Emma. Hang in there, Emma-chan. If you love him with all your heart, I'm confident your dreams will manifest. Despite the apparent competition, I believe they'll discover happiness in the end". Takemichi mused with a reassuring smile.
His contemplation abruptly shattered when he spotted Emma walking ahead, seemingly oblivious to his presence.
" Huh ? Emma-chan ?! Speak of the devil... Hey !". Takemichi exclaimed, quickening his steps to catch up.
Emma continued walking, oblivious to his calls.
" Wait up. I was just... what ?!". Horror seized Takemichi as he witnessed the unfolding scene behind a wall.
" I love you, Mikey". Emma confessed, embracing him.

A small shriek escaped Takemichi as he grappled with the surreal reality," This can't be real, Emma-chan ?! You went to Mikey-kun, of all people ?! What if Kol-kun saw this... Poor Kol-kun ! They all played him like a fool... I didn't think that Mikey would be capable of something like that !".
Nervously biting his fingers, Takemichi trembled, his mind concocting various distressing scenarios. He realized that a Toman confrontation was imminent—this time between Mikey and Kol—with no doubt about Draken's and Amalie's allegiance.
" It's Armageddon, man !". Takemichi mumbled.
" Indeed. This reeks of scandal, my dear Watson !". A voice interjected.
Blinking in confusion, Takemichi discovered Hinata and Naoto beside him, also spying on Emma and Mikey.
" I realized I hadn't heard from you lately. Is this what you've been up to ?". Hinata asked, pointing at the unfolding drama.
Naoto sweetly greeted," Hello".
" H-Hina ?! And Naoto ?". Takemichi exclaimed in surprise.
" We were out shopping and happened to spot you...". Naoto explained sheepishly.
Hinata frowned, watching Mikey and Emma together, the latter clinging to Mikey's arm.
" Quit clingin' to me". Mikey grumbled.
" Never". Emma replied with a singsong tone and a smile.
" Anyway ! There's no way Emma-chan, who would do anything for Kol, would ever stoop to something like this ! There must be some reason behind all this ! Isn't that right, Takemichi-kun ?". Hinata declared, leaning toward him.
