The next morning, the alcohol wore off & Emma groaned, finding herself in Kagami & Felix's master bedroom

She opened her eyes & rubbed her eyes, seeing where she was

Emma: Ugh.. my head hurts & I feel like total crap.. wait, what am I doing here in the Tsurugi household?

She got up from the floor, but then felt her ears ringing

Emma: Argh! Ow!

And just like that, her memories reverted back to normal, to the previous memory of the car crash & the ringing in her ears stop

Emma: Wait.. I remember everything now.. I got hit by a car after fleeing from the ballet performance that was about to start.

She remembered her parents' words, her heart sinking down to the floor

Emma: And I remember what Mom & Dad said to me.. and what I said to Elaine.. and when Kasumi kissed Nico at the party last night.

Emma looekd down at the dress she was wearing & began to feel ashamed of herself

Emma: (mind) What was I thinking? I'm such an idiot. I should have just listened to Kasumi. She is a bad influence & she's a toxic friend.

She walked out of the bedroom, but then heard yelling noises downstairs

She slowly walked down the stairs, seeing Kagami & Felix furiously yelling at Kasumi, who hung her head in shame

Emma: (mind) Getting in trouble serves Kasumi right. I can't believe I was so foolish to trust her.

Emma sneaked back into the room, packing back up her things & walking out of the house through the back door

She headed out to the city & felt cold, as the winter weather was approaching

Emma: Crap.. I should have brought some blankets..

She looked down at her phone, seeing several missed calls & text messages from her mother, father, and brothers

Emma sighed & stuffed her phone in her pocket, continuing to walk

She reached the Pont Des Arts Bridge, noticing the love padlocks on the rails

Emma: Aww. These must be romance padlocks.

She walked over to the rail, noticing a padlock with the initials M + A

Emma: These are mom & dad's initials. They must have put that there to keep their love secure.

She remembered their words & tears began to stream down her face
