"Moon! Moon! I came back I came back! Now you have to show me how you do all those super cool things now!"

"Yes darling, I promised I would, didn't I?"

"Yeah! Now show me how to hear super good and see really well I'm the dark and all the other stuff!"

"Okay darling, first step is that you're going to need to put down your doll so it doesn't break or get ruined while you're learning."

"O-Oh! Okay then.. but you got to watch it while you're teaching me, okay?"

"I swear I'll keep it safe."

"Ok Moon," Zetsuko said putting the doll onto a nearby rock. "What do I do first?"

—

"Moon! Moon! Kato almost got hurt today but I saved him! I saved him I saved him!" Zetsuko shouted with a smile. "You helped me because you taught me how!"

"That's great darling, I'm glad my teachings are going to use for you."

—

"Hey Moon?"

"Yes darling?"

"Is Moon your real name?"

"Not really, it's the only one I like people to call me."

"Okay Moon."

-

"Moon! I'm turning 8 in twelve days!"

"That's wonderful darling, until then can you not come to visit me?"

"Why is that?"

"I want to go get you a present but it will take a few days to got get one and come back."

"Okay Moon, as long as you don't get hurt."

"I promise that I won't darling."

—

"Moon! You're back! I couldn't wait so I came here early!"

"I hope you didn't have to wait very long for me then."

"Nope! I just got here a little while ago."

"That's good darling, I have the present I wanted to give you." Moon said holding out a box with a small ribbon tied around it keeping it sealed.

"Wow it looks so pretty! Can I open it now?" Zetsuko asked holding the present in her small hands.

"Sure darling."

A moment later, the ribbon was swiftly untied by pulling on one end and just after, Zetsuko put down the box on the ground and took out the neatly folded pice of clothing. As Zetsuko slowly unfolded the gift it revealed a beautiful kimono-like Yukata with a base color of a mixture between maroon and velvet. The bottom of the piece was lined with a pale green to yellow color covered by a hand-stitched flower pattern, at the bottom of the sleeves it had also been lined with the same fading yellow to green color with the same flower pattern stitched onto it.

"Did you really get this just for me? It looks so wonderful I could just put it on and wear it forever!" Zetsuko exclaimed hugging the outfit she'd forever treasure.

"You really mean it?" Moon asked with slight shock as the kimono had been slightly worn and the flower stitches were a little messed up from the usage of the previous owner.

"Yeah! I'll take super good care of it as long as I have it!"

"That's amazing darling."

—

"Zetsuko? Where did you get that?" Kato asked with a scared look on his face as his hands trembled at the sight of what Zetsuko was wearing.

"Oh this? It's really pretty right?" Zetsuko said spinning around to give a full view of her outfit.

"Y-Yeah but where.. Where did you get that?" Kato continued as Zetsuko stopped spinning.

"Oh you want to know where I got it Kato?"

"Y-Yeah, where did you find that?"

"Okay I'll tell you Kato, only if you promise not to tell anyone though, got it?"

"S-Sure, anything at all."

"Okay Kato come closer so I can tell you." Zetsuko said pulling down on the sleeve of Kato's outfit bringing his head closer to hers.

"My friend Moon gave it to me as a birthday present. Don't tell anybody about her okay?" Zetsuko whispered into Kato's ear as his eyes widened as he let out a horrified gasp.
