They found their guide, but the situation is no better. A strangely condensed demonic energy was flowing out of the guide's wound. He was no longer the same person the El Search Party knew.<br><br>Clear either one of the following two conditions to clear the quest.

*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Kugh...!''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Vasili! Snap out of it... Please!''
*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''Tsk, not bad for a wimpy shrimp. Though he's terrible at actually landing a hit.''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Add! No attacking, ok?''
*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''What am I supposed to do then? Stand still until he finally gets a clean hit?''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Ahhh... Will you stop bothering me? I have something to protect.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''But... What was that something...? From what...?''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''It's not use... He doesn't recognize us at all.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Tsk, he's been consumed by the demonic energy...''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''But I thought it was fine for Vasili! Didn't you say that the demons of Red Demon Territory can withstand the Abyss?''
*{{StoryIcon|Red Eye}} '''Red Demon King's Eye:''' ''Hm, did I say that?''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Don't play dumb! And Vasili said he'd be ok, too!''
*{{StoryIcon|Red Eye}} '''Red Demon King's Eye:''' ''Hahaha! There's no way he was going to be unaffected. You really believed that? I can't believe you're that foolish.''
*{{StoryIcon|Red Eye}} '''Red Demon King's Eye:''' ''Don't get me wrong. It wasn't all a lie. It's true he wouldn't easily die in Abyss. But I can't say the same thing about his mind.''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Dream Demons act in a hive... Some that stand out end up leading the group, and others follow them and become part of the group...''
*{{StoryIcon|Red Eye}} '''Red Demon King's Eye:''' ''No matter what group they end up in, they slowly change their individuality to match the identity of the group. And right now... We're in the Abyss.''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''You mean... He was the most susceptible one to turn into an Abyss Worshipper from the start?!''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Tir. You were planning on entering the Abyss before we came back to Magmelia.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Did you force him to, expecting this will happen?''
*{{StoryIcon|Red Eye}} '''Red Demon King's Eye:''' ''Dear me, are you trying to place the fault on me? I'd really rather not hear this from you, Luciela.''
*{{StoryIcon|Red Eye}} '''Red Demon King's Eye:''' ''Besides, I didn't force anything. In fact, I gave him a chance. With his sacrifice, the group could buy time to run away.''
*{{StoryIcon|Red Eye}} '''Red Demon King's Eye:''' ''With you along, there's even a chance to stop Ran all together. I'm sure he has no regrets.''
*{{StoryIcon|Red Eye}} '''Red Demon King's Eye:''' ''We both had an understanding. All I did was remain silent following his wishes.''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''He... knew? Why would he... How could he make such a decision? It's his life we're talking about!''
*{{StoryIcon|Red Eye}} '''Red Demon King's Eye:''' ''Strange... Is that important right now? He did as he promised. He said he was going to help you meet Ran.''
*{{StoryIcon|Red Eye}} '''Red Demon King's Eye:''' ''Thanks to him, you came down here at a pace that would have been impossible on your own.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''... I hate your methods. I always have.''
*{{StoryIcon|Red Eye}} '''Red Demon King's Eye:''' ''Huhu, the feeling is mutual.''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''But this... This is not what we wanted... Is there anything we can do?''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Elesis, let's switch positions. Can you handle Vasili with Chung for now?''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Sure. Tag!''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Raven, do you have something?''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Hm. It's not much, but I noticed he'd hesitate whenever his name is called.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''You mean, he didn't lose all his memories.''
*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''You sure he's not flinching from your shouting? The two with the biggest voices kept creaming his name, after all.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''You're right. Tilting your head to the side is definitely a kind of action you take when you hear a sudden loud noise.''
*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''Tsk, you could have told us that first.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Abyss Worshipers all look alike. So do Dream Demons of Magmelia.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''But Vasili still looks like himself, even though he's not acting like himself.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''We might not be too late.''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Even if Vasili said it's fine, Abyss is dark and sad. He must be lonely...''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Let's wake him up so he can return to his friends!''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''But I'm not sure how effective it will be to call his name over and over again.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''My mission... is to protect. With my life... But what?''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Hm... A way, some kind of way...''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Lu, didn't you say that you become an Abyss Worshipper when you are lured by the demonic energy of the Abyss?''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''I did. Do you have a plan?''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Hm... I don't know. I'm not sure if it will work...''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''But if the problem is being overly affected by the demonic energy of the Abyss, maybe using all that demonic energy will return him back to normal?''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Make him use all his power? But we're inside the Abyss. It's no use if he uses all his demonic energy, leaving him nothing to resist the Abyss.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''It's a fine plan. I believe it will work.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Oh, that's heartless...''
*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''That's not it. If you still don't get it, why don't you look up.''
*{{StoryIcon|Red Eye}} '''Red Demon King's Eye:''' ''Hey!''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Oh, Tir's eye! It's protecting us!''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''I see! As long as we're within its gaze, the power of the Red Demon King will protect us.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''It has potential! Let's try this!''
----
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''... I don't know, but a hunting dog does not ask questions.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Incarcer, Torta. An order must be obeyed.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''I need to protect it. Even if I don't know what it is.''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Vasili! Please... Snap out of it! You can't let the demonic energy control you!''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Control? Hahaha... Torta is never controlled! Always in control!''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Scared little prey running away... They're easy targets.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Quesito... But I don't know about you. You're almost within reach, but never actually within grasp. One moment you're attacking, and the next you're running away.''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Come on! Get a hold of yourself! We came to stop Ran together, remember? You came to protect the village and the Dream Demons!''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Hello? Excuse me, I don't think we've met. Do I know you?''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Protect... That word resonates with me. Is it an order?''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''It's not an order! You wanted to! To protect everyone!''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''... Torta, is that where you belong?''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''It's like he went backwards in time, instead of losing his memory.''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Backwards?''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''When you first become a Dream Demon, you lose your memory until you awaken...''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Backwards in time... You mean when he was in a different group before he was awakened!''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Ooh! Then how do we make him go forward in time?''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''I... don't know...''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Oh, I see... So I'm the prey. Is that it?''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Huh?! That's not it!''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Hahaha! How fun...! A hunting dog designated as prey?''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Fine. Then you will be my prey. I'll think about the order later.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Looks like he calmed down after his awakening.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Now... Hahaha! Run, little prey. Torta never misses their mark!''

*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''(Idiot... I'm an idiot.)''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''(Find my way to the Abyss by myself! I can't believe I said something so irresponsible!)''
*''(KLAKAKA!!)''
*''(BANG!)''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Ugh...! Cough, cough!''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Laby! Take care of Chung. Make sure he can rest even for a moment.''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Ok! Chung, are you ok?''

*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''What's impressive is not his power and speed.''
*''(... KLAKAKA! BANG!)''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Ha!... Not bad, but maybe you should look before you hit?''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Ahh... So annoying. Stop hopping around.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''For all your talk about hunting and prey, you're not that impressive.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Ciel is doing a good job wasting his power by aggravating him. Though he's still too lively...''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Hey, his attacks seem off doesn't it? He's got the direction right, but can't seem to get a hold on the distance.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''You're right. He has too many openings to be a 'skilled hunter' like he wants us to believe.''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Oh! Oh dear, do you think it's because he doesn't have his glasses?''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''What? You mean his eye sight is that bad?''
*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''All his talk about meeting first time, and he didn't even look at our faces properly?''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Maybe he'll recognize us if he has his glasses back!''
*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''Too late for that. Someone snuffed out that possibility long ago.''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Cough, cough! There's no guarantee that he'll return to normal with the glasses anyway.''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''It will be worse if he starts attacking properly because he can see, right?''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Aha! Hahaha! You guys are playing with me! You know my eyes are my weak point.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Not bad, playing with your prey... But I have my ways.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Hm? And what is that?''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Well, I feel strangely energized. If I can't hit you, then I'll wipe everything off! Hehehehehe...''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Whoa, I think that's my sign to step back.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''He has to get exhausted at some point. Let's continue with our strategy.''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Yeah. Since Vasili always looked tired, maybe he'll remember everything when he's exhausted again!''
*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''What a mess...''
----
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''I thought it wasn't fair. I didn't think I was being selfish to want to go on my own.''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''But that wasn't it.''
*''(CRASH!)''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Kyu!''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Lu! Are you ok?''
*{{StoryIcon|Red Eye}} '''Red Demon King's Eye:''' ''Is this really necessary? You guys waste time at the weirdest moments.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''... It is necessary.''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Hey, at least we managed to somewhat tire him out. He should start reacting by now...!''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Pant, pant... You're not easy prey, are you. Especially you.''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''I tried to take them one by one after scattering them, but they keep gathering around you... Are you their leader?''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Watch out, Chung! He's going to target you next!''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''What?! I'll go!''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''You won't make it on time! Aisha, any spells?''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''They're too close to each other! Chung will be caught in the spell!''
*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''Tsk, Almost...!''
*''(KABOOM!)''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''It's fine, he took it!''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''... I don't think he can take it a second time. Let's separate them!''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''This is pretty sturdy. What is it, a cannon?''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''... I was selfish.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Hm?''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''I didn't think about the ones I'd be leaving behind.''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|(Weren't you curious?)}}''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''If something happened to me, everyone would have been sad.''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''That's why he refused outright. Because, Elsword already made that decision before.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''... What are you doing?''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''I realized my mistake. That's why I won't let you do that same!''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|(Chasing and hunting, do you really enjoy doing it?)}}''

*''(FLICK! ... SQUEAK!)''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Wah! You awful meanie! I can't believe you don't recognize me!''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Sigh... I knew it! I knew this was going to happen! That's why I wanted to come down instead!''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Huh? Isn't that the rabbit doll that Add took from the magician?''
*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''Hmph, I thought I felt something squirming. Something must have activated.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Aww, I'm sorry I yelled at you. You're scared right? That's why you changed back to how you were before. I'm really sorry.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''And... Everyone has a weak side. That's why I hope you don't think of yourself as a burden. I should have told you this before you left.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Oh! I'm talking to you through Hat's rabbit. I had to interrupt his teatime with Puppet, but I was so worried.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Huh, what...? Wait... What are you talking about? Too much information... I need to...''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''If it were up to me, I would have zipped down there... But Hat said he can't teleport me without a frame no matter how close we are... I'm sorry.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Nng... ... Wait, what?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Hm? I said! There's no frame in the Abyss!''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''So I can't use the frame to zoom to your side no matter how close we are...''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Close? What is?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Huh? Didn't I tell you? Well...''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''We... didn't evacuate. We're all waiting for you at the entrance of the Abyss!''

*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' ''-''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Yaaaawn... mmm...''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Lu! Wake up! Or you'll be trapped in the egg again.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Wha, I was, I was just resting my eyes!''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''This entire area is being covered by membranes...''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Laby wanna go and wake him up, but the thrones go whoop! and stop Laby. Does Vasili not want us to come?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Yup. Do not approach. He is sending a very clear message.''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''But why? He looked like he was in pain, like he was having a nightmare... Even though we all had happy dreams.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''All your dreams and nightmares taken out. Someone had to take them in.''
*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''What is the purpose of taking nightmares?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Dream Demons eat dreams and gain power from it. But Vasili was born with a body that can only consume nightmares.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''That's why the more he uses his power, the more he hurts himself... You have to stop him.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Why is he doing this? This will only hurt himself.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''I don't know what he saw at the bottom of the Abyss... But he must have thought there's no chance.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''I guess he thought if he puts everyone to sleep and let them dream happily, everyone would at least die painlessly...''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''He decided to give up everything. What was it that he saw through the gap...?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''I'm sorry. It's my fault for pushing him over the edge. If we had evacuated, he wouldn't have gone that far.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''From the way he's straining himself, I think he's planning on extending his power to those of us waiting outside. He won't be able to handle that.''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''The dream made me happy... But I can't settle for it. This is not the time.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''I do not wish for happiness that requires exploitation of others. Let's get him out.''
*{{StoryIcon|Red Eye}} '''Red Demon King's Eye:''' ''But you seemed to enjoy your dream a lot.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''You be quiet!''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Can you take me to Vasili? I'll try to wake him up.''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Ok. I'll try!''
*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''... Don't do what you did to his glasses.''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Add! Stop spreading negativity! It's bad luck!''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Huh? Glasses?''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''It's nothing. Let's go!''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Uuuh....?''

*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Ah, ugh...''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili2}} '''Vasili:''' ''Ah, ugh... sniff... sniff...''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''... You're always trying your best, even in your dreams. You don't have to do that.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''I know. You're always nervous when things don't go according to plan. You're scared everything will be beyond your control.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''But unexpected things always happen. You can't control everything. And even when that happens, it can still be fun.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''In the morning, towards the west where the moon falls, in the evening, towards the east where the moon rises again.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Head north to face the cool wind, and head south to feel the warm breath of earth.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Even if it's a life of nomads, it's more important to live happily, don't you think?''
*{{StoryIcon|RaS}} '''Laby:''' ''Don't... fall... asleep!''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''I know! I know that... I do...''
*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''Do whatever you can! Pinch yourself!''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''I always wanted to tell you there's no reason to fear change, but it must be overwhelming for you, who lived as a hunting dog for so long.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''But you will never be able to overcome that if you run away.''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''I smell... the ocean... Uhh... Did I fall asleep?''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''If you fell asleep, I must have as well. I see sweet cupcakes dancing before my eyes.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Familiar scent... Illusion from a daydream... Even in this bleak setting.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''There's no dream you cannot wake from.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''It's luring me. As if telling me to stop resisting...''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''A snowy night... The moment I walked into the house with my brother in my arms... It's the happies memory in my life. I won't trade it for anything.''
*{{StoryIcon|DB2}} '''Add:''' ''This is deception. I will not be satisfied by this temporary relief.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Tomorrow will come even when you don't want it.''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''If you live in the past, you'll lose what's important now!''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''That's right! I'm not interested in dream cupcakes!''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Of course! I'll make as many as you want, once we're done.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rabbit3}} '''Diana:''' ''Wake up. It's time to face the truth.''
