[part 4]

Columbine goes out the Olympus temple without saying any word and goes back to her real home.

“COLUMBINE, YOU’RE BACK!” Denise shouted as she sees her sister in the doorway. “Why say that? You already saw me.”

“’I’m surprised. You can’t blame me.”            

Columbine looks for their mother to say she’s back home. Having a talk with their mother, Columbine tells that her comeback is somehow temporary, and can’t even give her mother a solid reason. Her mother tried to understand the situation and advises her to be careful on her feelings, confessing to her that her mother is afraid that she’ll be fully developed with the human she’s with. Columbine smiles at her mother and tells her that she’s always observing her ‘Maximum tolerance’ regarding that matter.

‘Honestly, I don’t believe you, Coline. I never thought you would have such defiance. ” Denise pranked at her. Columbine gives Denise an angry face and cried at her, “I never asked for your opinion, but thanks to your nosiness, I’ve found out what you think about me.”

“Girls, don’t ever start a fight. You’re no longer kids.” Their mother ordered. “Children aren’t the only one who have rights to have fight, mom.” Denise confronted. “We’re your children, mother, it means we can still fight.”

“I agree. You got a point in there, sis!” Denise tells Columbine. “Am I that good for you now?” Columbine asks to Denise.”Well... Regardless of your stupidity, you’re not that bad at all.” Denise answered.

“Are you making compliment or an insult?”

“Guess which…” Denise tries to puzzle Columbine out.

“Looks like they won’t have their fight for now…” Their mother commented to herself as she watches her daughters interact with each other.

Night on Earth, Cecil and April goes to Giotto’s house to take a look on Columbine, but she’s not there. Cecil calls Giotto and tells him that Columbine is not in there; meanwhile, April has found out that Columbine had not brought her cellphone. It was left to battery drainage on the table in Columbine’s room.

Giotto started worrying again as he hears about Columbine’s cellphone being left over at home, and wonders where Columbine had gone to. “Did she left any note anywhere on the house?” He asks to Cecil.  “Wait, I’ll ask April…”

“April! Was there any piece of note left on any surface?” Cecil cried to April. “None!” April replied.

“Sorry, Gi… April didn’t see any notes from Columbine… By the way, how was Cosette in there?”

“She’s mingling with beautiful men in the hall.”

“Had you two just finished another performance number?”

“Yes.”

“Have your rest, pal. We’ll do everything to find her.” Cecil tells Giotto. In a mockery manner, Giotto asks him, “Even if it means asking the police and private eyes for help?”

“Um… Isn’t that quite too far…” Cecil commented on Giotto. Giotto laughs at him and confesses that he’s just joking around. “Ha. Ha. Very funny, Gi.”

“Thank you again, Cecil.”

“You’re very most welcome… But mark my word; this help won’t be for free.”

“I know what I’ll do… Bye, friend...”
