"... I-... I think it would?" Hannah asked, sounding uncertain----
-------------------------- Hannah knew what she wanted.------------
"It wouldn't make me miserable." Hannah admitted
In the distance, a crane flew down and landed on a rooftop. Another crane flew down and landed at a stream in the distance.
"...Wait, Mirai." Isa said. "There's something else you should know before you do that again.
The only reason I remembered what you did last time was because I had the memory power and time element on me at the time- I used them to send all of my memories six days into the past. Apart from you, only one of us will remember this entire week and the way things stand right now, it looks like it'll be me."
"... What do you mean... go back?" Ama spoke up, the first time in a while.

“…I’ll explain but before that.” Mirai started.
He turned to Isa.
“Then maybe you can give me the ability to share my memories with the people whom I want to remember, right? That could save me a lot of trouble of explaining everything to every person.” Mirai suggested.

Isa paused for a moment, looking at her own hand.
She then grabbed onto Mirai, "I can try, at least." She said.
"Mirai." Dawntree appeared, a distance behind him. "What's this about?"

Mirai glanced at Dawntree and then at everyone around him.
“…Okay. it’s like this…” Mirai started.

Horatio was sitting at the edge of the balcony, staring at the rising sun with his hand attached to the clock pendant around his neck.
Something was glowing under the hair covering the left half of his face, smiling to himself.
“…Next time when he shows up, I will tell him the truth. And about you.” Horatio said, but no one was there.
His expression changed as his eye widened.
“…Wait, why is he?…” Horatio asked.
——-
The door to the infirmary opened, Majin and Muriel, holding a bowl filled with apples, walked in.
“King Noriaki, I brought you-“ Muriel started.
She dropped the bowl on the floor when she saw that Noriaki wasn’t in the room.
“K-King Noriaki!?” Muriel asked.
As she ran out of the room to search for him, Majin noticed a note on his bed and picked it up, reading it.
“…So, you’re going through this till the end, huh?” Majin asked, frowning to himself.

Fenrir was standing on top of a rocky hill facing the Liern Kingdom, letting out a anguished howl, letting the kingdom hear his suffering.
A single sunflower petal landed on his paw.
———
Back in the Rain Kingdom.
Sumire was in the cemetery, standing in front of her father’s grave with tears on her face.
The remaining sunflower petals landed on a small grave separated from the rest of the cemetery, with a small tombstone marked as “Penny”.

"What do you mean!?" Suzukaze could be heard exclaiming. "Where's the emperor? Where's my sister!?"
———
On a island- where it was still night, a battle that had been raging... had finally stopped.
A Rain Kingdom general was on his knees, his remaining soldiers all behind him with their hands in the air, all weapons removed. Civillians dressed in whatever armour they could scramble together stood over them. One looked to the one next to them, who raised a hand and motioned for all of the captured soldiers to stand, getting marched off somewhere. Another new soldier and a person wearing a sash around their clothing walked towards Nemea, both taking turns shaking her hand. She looked to the side, somewhat sheepishly.
People that hadn't joined the fight hesitantly looked out from where they had been hiding. Cherie looked through the people present and spotted someone among the audience, walking over towards them hesitantly.
———
Icarus's bedroom was relatively sparse. A patterned quilt lay atop the floor, covered by discarded clothing and candy wrappers. He had bookshelves on the wall with no books in them and a few scribbles on a piece of paper by his bed.
He stood atop the quilt, near a open window that only had a void behind it with a small glowing red rock in his hand.
And across from him, with a grave look on her face was Anya.
"...A-Anya, how did you get here?" Icarus asked.
Anya stepped forwards and grabbed his wrist. "Follow me. I want to show you something. Bring the stone with you."

In the Song Kingdom... Benedict stood at the roof of the castle, his head tilted up towards the sky.
Dorian, standing by the roofs entrance made no attempt to approach. Instead muttering to himself "Where the hell are they? They should be back by now..."
---
"Mirai."
Magna was suddenly looking right at him, she hadn't moved from the maiden's building. Looking over the body of water towards them with a set of wide, white eyes.
"Hannah.
Are you certain this is what you want to do?"
Hannah blinked, stepping backwards. "I..."

The Balanque King sat on the old Balanque King's bed, head cast below him as he grasped it in his hand. He held the large garden shears he had used to cut his hair in his other hand. Agatha standing in front of him with her baby crocodile in her hand, the falcon flying around the roof above them.
... A movement in the corner and the demon butler appeared.
"... How's the progress?" The King asked.
It's going splendidly." The Butler told him. "The person I found has accepted my offer."

“…Do you have any better ideas?” Mirai asked Magna.

Magna closed her eyes, smiling. "... I don't see any problem with Hannah's initial plan.
Chastity was clearly remorseful, and only acted in self defense. She didn't have to heal me or anyone and stopped fighting as soon as she was able to speak." She explained. "But, while I'm at it.
Isa... you said you could 'try', that means you might not be able to share that power with Mirai. If he goes back again, he may not be able to do that and all of us will be unaware that this had even happened."
"... That might not be so bad." Hannah mumbled, looking down at the grass.
"Mirai, I appreciate that you want to make Hannah happy, but sometimes it's not that easy." Magna stated, stepping on a platform that had replaced a broken bit of the walkway. She remained a distance away from everyone else. "After all... how many of us have lost a loved one? Hannah is far from the only one.
It hurts at first, but life does get better."

“…In your eyes, you think Hannah is doing fine right now? You think it was fair for all those people who fought us to lose their lives because of the mistakes me and Isa have made? You’re okay with Anka, Mariam and everyone else in the commune losing their lives so unfairly without even giving them a second chance?” Mirai asked Magna.

"Everyone dies eventually, that's a fact of life." Magna said, taking another step forwards. "You're reviving Anka, Mariam, Opus, everyone else this time, but if that was truly your reasoning, wouldn't you have turned the clock back the second they lost their lives?
And saying that about Hannah, that's a cruel way to phrase it. Of course she's not doing fine, she's been fighting battle after battle after she lost the person she cares about the most. No human in that situation would be fine, but there are better ways to handle it than turn back the clock.
I appreciate you doing this for us last time, I really do, but right now it's not neccessary. There are better methods we can use to cope with our hardships than going back and trying again."
"... She's right, actually." Dawntree said. "Yeah, it sucks that they're dead, but turning back now is the same as running away."

“…So, what is the plan? We keep giving Chastity the elements even though she might die from using them? or we just dump all the elements into a random person and hope they won’t die or become a target to other kingdoms? Do you want to wait till things much worse and let those horsemen get their chance to end the world, do you just want me to sit back and do nothing at all, why are you so content with letting bad things happen and not do anything at all, are you two that afraid of actually doing something with your own two hands and letting someone else do it for you?” Mirai asked Magna and Dawntree.

Magna stepped forwards again, while Dawntree stepped back.
And opened her eyes, not smiling anymore.
Dawntree looked at Mirai. "Listen, Mirai, I don't see why you need to turn time back- I mean, yes, it sucks- but I've lost more than just one person in my life and I'm still going strong, I don't see why Hannah can't do the same. She's the-"
"If you say something like 'she's a maiden' I'm going to actually punch you!" Hannah yelled. "What is with you people, why don't you understand that I hate that kind of shit!? I thought you left your old kingdom because they were going to force you into a role you didn't want, so why are you trying to do the same to me!?"
"They were going to force me to kill people!" Dawntree yelled. "People that were good! You're not being forced to do anything, whatever happens next is your choice!"
"No! It! Isn't!" Hannah yelled at him. "It's your choice! You're the ones who are putting all your hopes on me, when I just want to live! I'm making my choice right now and you're trying to stop me!"
"Stop yelling, both of you." Magna stated, much harsher than usual. "... Hannah.
If you don't want the elements, you don't need them. Dawntree, stand back, let her make her own decision.
Mirai..." She looked straight at him. "... Don't you see? This is me doing something. I'm intervening right now."

"...The only one who's decision matters the most to me right now is Hannah, I want to know if she agrees with me giving this a third shot or not, because I'm not going to do something she won't want me to, if she doesn't want me to back, then fine, we'll do it your way but I'll let you know that you and Opus lost my respect the moment he was considering to let me die in Wolfe's castle and you probably agreed to it, so I won't accept anything you are telling me right now. You don't have the right to tell me I'm being inconsiderate about others when you weren't considerate about my life when I was in danger." Mirai said towards Magna before turning to Hannah.

Magna looked at him, then smiled. "... Is that why you think I'm objecting, Mirai? Because I think you're being inconsiderate? Hardly."
"...Mirai, do it now." Hannah told him. "I-...
If we do it your way, I'm not dragging anyone back from death. It's like- It's like it never happened."
"Damnit! Don't just run from your grief, you need to face that shit!" Dawntree demanded.
"I-... I don't trust myself to do this." Hannah said. "Something will... it'll go wrong, I know it will!"
Ama looked between everyone, looking overwhelmed, while Chastity gestured for Parov to back away; which he did easily.
"...Hannah." Magna frowned. She took a single step forwards...

Hannah was looking at him with wide eyes- "Mirai-"
Isa turned around just in time as Chastity threw herself off of Parov and to the floor, rolling out of the way as Magna immediately shifted into her true form, flew straight at Mirai and Isa alike- tail dragging along the lake beneath her as she flapped her wings, sending Parov, Murasaki, Evangeline, Chastity, Dawntree and Ama further away on one side; by the entrance and Hannah to the other.
"-Do it now!" Hannah called out, stretching a hand out---
"Wait!" Dawntree yelled, as Murasaki landed in a crouching position; already having pulled a blade from her belt. Magna was sent to the other side of the world.
