The living room has been rearranged, and currently Rui and Chie are sitting on the main couch, while Mason is sitting at another one, identical and separated by a floor table. They clearly have been talking for a while, as Mason stares focused at Chie.
_Mason So... You have inherited the memories of this... Morinosuke Intoku, you say.
_Chie: Yes sir. I know it's very hard to believe, but everything I just explained you, it really happened. From the massacre to the demons, all of it.
_Mason: ...
_Rui: ... Uhm... A-are you sure? How can you be so sure, Ishikawa-san? What if it's just a hallucination or something like that?
_Chie: No, everything felt super real. The emotions Morinosuke felt throughout his life, that's just not something you can fake.
_Rui: Uhm... I'm not so sure about that... Any aura user skilled at hallucinations could create a bunch of stuff to confuse you, you know? Isn't that right, father?
_Mason: ...
_Rui: Father?
_Mason: ...
_Chie: ...?
_???: Say, why don't you just explain it to them already? Is something holding you back?
_Rui: Uh, Mom!
_Seiko: ... Oh excuse me, good morning, everyone.
Seiko enters the scene! She appears from the kitchen, holding a tray with 4 cups of tea for everyone. She places them on the floor table and takes a seat next to Mason.
_Chie: Yes, good morning, I am Ishikawa Chie, nice to meet you!
_Seiko: Hello there, my name is Hisawa Seiko, it's a pleasure meeting you too!
_Chie: Oh no, the pleasure is mine!
_Seiko: Really, haha...
_Chie: ...
_Rui: ...
_Seiko: Darling, if you don't want to tell them, then I will, OK?
_Mason ...(frowns)?!
_Seiko: These youngsters want to know the truth, and we can't hide it forever.
_Mason: ...
_Chie...
_Rui: ...
_Seiko: Or perhaps you prefer that we explain it together.
_Mason: ... NO, me alone will be more than enough, it's a matter of MY family, after all.
_Chie: ...
_Rui: Fa-father, what do you mean?
_Mason: Everything she has talked about is true. Morinosuke Intoku truly existed, just like all the aura users that used to live in Japan over 100 years ago.
_Rui: Huh?!
_Chie: ...(wow)
_Mason: My great grandfather, he lived in the same era as the Intoku Clan, his name was Nick Brown... He was a talented aura user who moved to Japan at the beginning of the 19th century and was part of a secret organization of British wizards, called The English Association of Witchcraft, or EAW.
_Chie: ...I knew it... I knew that for some reason Mr Hisawa's face seemed familiar to me! That man, Nick Brown...
_Mason: Yes, he and Morinosuke crossed paths, and eventually teamed up to fight the many demons that were roaming free and hunting aura users across Japan.
