Narrator POV:

Tapez raised an eyebrow in confusion. The cursed person turned out to be a 10-year-old kid?? "How can that be.." she muttered before approaching the scared kid.

"Hey, you okay kid? where's your famil-"
her words were cut off by someone calling the kids name.

"Grea! Thank god your safe. What happened? You were just mad and then you turned to... whatever that is. I'm so happy your safe.." The man happily hugged his sister. Kissing her forehead.

"Oh? So Grea is her name? what a unique name sir.." Tapez said patting the girls head, a silent "you're welcome" gesture. Smiling at the man. Looking at the girl, he felt the world slow in pace as they stared at each other under a tree. The Tree of Love.

Legend says that everyone who made eye contact or met under this tree had fallen deeply inlove. And that they were meant to be.

"U-uhm,.. Yes that's her name hahah. Thank you... Tapez for saving my sister. I'll repay you in anyway I can in the future."
The lad thanked politely and smiled, which planted a hue of pinkness on her cheeks. She shook the feeling away to look professional.

"A-anywayy, you should go now. It's quite a hazard here now, get little Grea to safety and yourself while I deal with it here." Tapez explained cautiously. And with that Grea waved goodbye.

Tapez couldn't help but notice a strange feeling she can't quite explain what as their figure starts to fade away in the distance.

"Kuya renzo! that girl looks so prettyy, she's also kind po. I love ate so muchh"
The girl exclaimed in joy. She really did love Tapez -or should I say, Marirose- for saving her from the cursed object.

"Whoever is behind that mask, I love that girl..." Lorenzo muttered once they were out of Tapez's sight. "I love her too kuyaa!"
The girl smiled warmly and they left hand in hand.

Meanwhile the Maculiña's were in the hospital. Waiting anxiously on the news about their mother. After what seemed like forever, Doctor Swizerfitz came out with a somewhat happy yet worried expression displayed on his face.

"Doc! How's she doing? Is she okay, Is my wife okay?" Reneiko asked, a glimmer of hope flashing through his face.

"Glad and sad to say that we have good news and bad news. Which one should we tell first?" He asked wanting Reneiko to choose what he wanted to know first. The happy news or the devastating one.

He thought for a while, then he chose not so long after.
"Let's go for the good news, shall we?"

"Very well then.. As Janei's most trusted friend, I know what happened. She's alive, most certainly!" He flashed a reassuring smile to ease the tension in the atmosphere.

His smile dropped as he now displayed a serious facade "Bad news is, She cannot fulfill her duty as the hero of Paris. At her age, she's not qualified anymore even if she wants to. Her body will eventually start to decline this role."

"Does she know the bad news?" Marirose asked, how can she defend Paris without Ashi alongside her??
