April: *takes care of Magus* What are you up to, Magus? Why did you came back?
Magus: *dreaming* No. No. No. April! No! *wakes up*
April: *flustered* W-w... Are you alright? What happened to you?
Magus: Huh? *frowns* Ah, nothing. It was just a dream.
April: *whispers* More like a nightmare to me.
Magus: Are you ready for your second wish?
April: What exactly is happening, Magus?
Magus: *looks away* N-nothing.
April: You're lying. *looks at Magus' face* Wait. Are you blushing? *laughs*
Magus: Blushing? Me?
*silence for a minute because they looked at each other's eyes*
April: Say, why did you came back?
Magus: *clears his throat* T-the 'hidden law' mother stated is wrong. I am here to keep my promise to you.
April: You mean, even you grant me my wishes, you'll still live?
Magus: *nods weakly and fakes his smile* So, yeah. I'm here to keep my word. Are you ready for your second wish?
April: *thinks deeply* Hmmm. Let me think first.
Magus: Take your time. *fake smile*
April: Aha! I know! I wish to have a stable life for a lifetime.
Magus: *laughs* Wise wish. Granted. *waves his hand; the whole house turns into something new and different bank books were created in front of her*
April: Wow! You are really amazing, Magus. *hugs him*
Magus: *coughs blood then smiles* I guess this is good bye, April.
April: *confused* Goodbye? *looks at Magus* Oh my God! Magus!
Magus: *coughs until he dies*
April: Magus? Magus?! *cries* How could you fool me?! The hidden law was right all along. Magus! I still have one wish left! *stops for a while* Yes. I know what my last wish is. Grant it for me, Magus. I wish you could stay alive.
*April holds Magus into her arms while silently crying*
