Ditoyle was looking at the pictures she had with Aurora. Thanks to magic technology made by Veronica, things such as cameras were a reality now, and she and her wife had taken many together as they went around everywhere.

They had traveled together to the beach, to the depths of the forest and camping, they even went to Helheim and enjoyed the soul springs there. They always were together, like good friends, and excellent lovers.

There were also pictures of her with her Violet and Aurora.

The memories she had with her were very precious, all the things they went through, all of the things they lived…

She sat over the bed, looking at the window. The sunlight came across it silently, as she rested the picture of her, Aurora, and Violet, the last one they took together as they enjoyed a nice day out near a large lake in Alfheim… it was right before the Demon God King war. Before everything… ended.

Her eyes were filled with sorrow, as they began to flow with tears.

It had already become a routine for her to cry everyday as she looked over the photos where Aurora appeared.

She couldn't let her daughter see her like this, she had to be strong for Violet, she needed to love her and never make her feel alone… She had been working hard these las three months to make her daughter happy, and both had slowly recovered, bit by bit…

But can someone really recover from the death of a loved one? Not really.

You will always feel this sorrow in your heart, no matter how long it has been since their death. The beautiful memories you had with them will only make you think of them more, they will instinctively make your brain believe they're alive, only for the terrible reality to hit you every time.

They are not.

They're gone… there's… nothing you can do for it.

She remembers how awkward her first date with Aurora was back then, but how much fun she had with her. Freeing herself from her constrains and simply enjoying life with her.

She was so charismatic and interesting, so fun to be with…

But now it wasn't even like before, Aurora wasn't just in coma, she was gone now.

No matter how long she waited, no matter how long she asked her to come back, and no matter how much she cried.

She wasn't going to come back…

Ditoyle covered her face as tears flowed so much out of her eyes that her vision became dizzy. Everything was distorting and breaking apart before her, the memories of Aurora were only hurting her more. She began to cry loudly, hitting the bed with her fist, as her screams were covered by the cushions.

"Aurora… Auroraaaa…! Sniff… Hahh… Sniff… Whyyy?! Whyyyyy…"

She continued to cry desperately, as if she had gone mad. Sorrow had made her completely mad, her tears continued to flow out of her eyes continuously. It was as if she had an endless river of tears in her eyes.

She remembered her last words as her red-shot eyes opened.

"Don't worry, I will go help them out and I will come back! We have to have dinner together after all of this is done, alright? And after that, we can try to make a second baby, what do you think~?"

It was cheeky, funny, and even a bit mischievous, but that's how she was after all, that's how lovely she was, Ditoyle truly loved Aurora in all of her personality, her bad habits, and also her terrible ones… she loved how coquettish she was, and also how overprotective she was other times, she loved how she embraced her with warm hugs while the two slept…

Oh… She missed it so much, her hugs…

Ditoyle hugged herself with her arms, as she looked over the window, crying desperately.

She knew that crying wouldn't bring her back, no matter how many times she tried to move forward, something would take over her mind and force her to look at these pictures. Perhaps it was her unhealthy obsession with her beloved, a person who had become so important for her that she ended turning into the light of her life, into her other half.

Without her, what was she? She sometimes wondered this as she looked sorrowfully into the moon.

But every time she did, she looked over her daughter…

"I am the mother of Violet…"

With such words, she pushed forward. Within Violet, there was a part of Kireina that was left.

She was born from their love, she was a little of Aurora, and a little of her. Within Violet's beautiful, pink-colored hair, and butterfly wings… there was a part of Aurora within.

"Aurora… Ahh… Violet-chan…"

She slowly began to clear her tears, as she looked one last time to the picture, their last picture together, and left it over the bed.

"I should go met Violet… Maybe… we should have some tasty dinner together…" she thought, her heart was broken into pieces, but her daughter held each piece together for her.

As she began to walk, something stopped her.

She looked back at the picture one last time…

She looked at Aurora dearly, her beautiful smile.

To think that she will never be able to see it again.

She gritted her teeth and suddenly fell over the floor, hugging her own head.

She sat over the floor and began to cry once more.

"I am sorry… I just… can't… I… I… Sniff…"

FLASH!

Suddenly, the presence of two people emerged behind her.

Teleportation?

Could it be Violet? She had begun to develop Spatial Magic.

There was no way that it could be… her.

However, two hands touched Ditoyle's shoulders.

A tiny one, and a larger one.

This larger one was delicate and beautiful… and the tiny one was cute and warm.

It was her daughter and…

"A-Aurora…?"

She looked back, finding Aurora alive before her. Her eyes flowing with tears.

"Ditoyle… I am back home." She muttered, smiling sweetly.

"Aurora!"
