"Ha! I'm not holding my breath," Severa replied. "I bet there's something awful that's waiting for us when we least expect it. May as well go to that stupid courtyard and see for ourselves..."

"...I have a wife...?"

Rita Hanson

Well, that answered her question more than she had expected. " Thanks, I'm going to head there," she said, looking over at her and taking a deep breath and reminding her that even if this was a perfect world, they were still going to have to stop Othinus.

"I wouldn't... think so..." Touma sighed to Severa as he continued leading everyone toward the courtyard, voicing his continued doubts. By the time they finally reached their destination, the courtyard was... exactly as it was promised to be. And perhaps that was what ultimately surprised Touma in the end.

Like an active park on a sunny day, it was lithe with active, happy people, either chatting cheerfully while huddled at a table, or taking a nice stroll through Avalon. It was the perfect, halcyon image that represented what Othinus had created; a world free from strife, war, and suffering. A multiverse that prospered as everyone had come to understand one another.

A multiverse where everyone was saved.

Among the people in the courtyard, there was at least one person that every single person in the group would have recognized. Maybe it was Wanda enjoying a cup of tea with Doppo under a parasol at a table, or maybe it was Ollerus and Fiamma of the Right engaging in what looked like a rather invested conversation. Or maybe it was Josuke and Rohan, playing what seemed to be some sort of heated game involving cards and dice. Maybe it was Jiren. Maybe it was Phil.

Or maybe it was someone that only you personally recognized, waiting for you, right there.

Like so.

"You won't for long if you're gonna keep a lady waiting for much longer, dear," a feminine voice answered Libra's question to himself. One that the long-haired man found familiar... and Ben, to a less intimate degree, perhaps.

To the group's side, a woman unfamiliar to everyone else gave a soft, lightly exasperated smile.

"You really do lose track of time easily, don't you?" The woman said, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips as she walked over and wrapped her arms around Libra's.

From there, before Touma could even question who the unfamiliar woman was, another unfamiliar voice called out from the other side. A vibrantly red-haired woman whom only Jotaro recognized... and Ben, again.

"Oi! Long time no see, boys!" The woman exclaimed.

"Well, it looks like you've grown up, Ben. And you..." the red-headed woman began, pointing her finger toward Jotaro with a smirk on her face, "... have certainly gotten older. Are those wrinkles I see? How long has it been, hmm? At least ten years on your side?"

To that end, the woman quickly turned toward Jolyne and Ermes, happily clasping her hands together. "Oh, and who might you be? Mr. Kujo's darling daughter? And... err... your girlfriend?"

As the group was assaulted at every side by the sights of acquaintances, some of which opted to even directly approach them, Touma could only let out a distressed breath, stepping back until he was right next to Leivinia, the only fellow "survivor" from his original world, leaning in to her ear and murmuring. "I don't like where this is going... you know?"

Everyone was here.

Anyone you could ever want.

Jotaro felt the grip on his hand tightening as this mysterious red haired woman came and spoke so informally to her father. If Jotaro looked down he'd see a look on Jolyne's face that conveyed who the fuck is this woman?

Seeing as Jolyne was occupied Ermes decided to respond to Aoko. "Uh, no! We're uh, just good friends that's all!"

"Haven't seen you since Gotham. It's been seven years, Ms Aozaki! You haven't aged a bit. What's your secret?"

"Verdona!" Grandpa Max approaches a dark purple energy being of sorts., greeting her with an embrace. "Good to see you."

"Same here, Maxwell. I hear young Benjamin has acquired the spark? Interesting, interesting... Also, Kevin & Gwendolyn are back there, having some alone time, likely next to the one who resembles a grey alien."

"Great to see you, Grandma," Ben says to this 'Verdona' energy being.

"Ah, my old junior squad, and Pierce! You're alive!" Grandpa Max's attention turns to a small group of aliens and a human.

"Ah, good things, good times, eh guys? Now to-"

Before Ben could walk forward, 11 small, identical little creatures swarmed towards him and cuddled him. Some might find that they have a resemblance to his 'Big Chill' form, as such, they will be called 'Little Chills'.

"Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama!"

"Easy there! Easy there!" Ben laughs as the beasts cuddle him. "I definitely didn't forget about you eleven... And the fact that universal translators now work on you must mean that you guys are growing up pretty fast!"

A few figures approach Mason & Macy. The essence of the fourth wall veiled the very presence of two of them in silhouette.

"Hey! Mason!" a shorter man, sounding and arguably looking like a high school girl, about 150 centimetres, greets.

Accompanying him were three particular girls.

"So, where is she, Kido-kun?" the one with the eyepatch asks. "You better not be leading us into another dead end, or I'll claw you!"

"Kido-kun..." the one that Mason would recognise as Morikubo Nono. "is Naegi's mama and papa really around here?"

"Could've sworn they were here somewhere, Nono. Let's see..."

"Fuhihi..." the shaggy-looking, grey haired one giggles, "don't worry, Ginono..."

"My my~ How lively, how sweet... a gathering like this..." a tall adult woman, noticeably pregnant, accompanies the silhouette man and the girls. She too, was veiled in silhouette. Mason would recognise her as Producer Madoka. However, Mason might recognise that her usual exterior was cold as ice, and the way she was acting was actually pretty inaccurate.

Behind her, a young lady peered from behind, seeming a bit shy around crowds.

"Come on, come on, Arisu~ Say hi to everyone~"

"N... no..." this supposed 'Arisu' says, veiling herself from the crowd behind the pregnant woman's back.

Eventually, Dlanor spotted her, or more so that she was spotted by her. No doubt, the blue-haired detective caught wind of her almost immediately, leaving Dlanor in a state of frozen shock.

❝ Perfect timing, Dlanor! I was wondering where you were! ❞ Erika called out to the shorter girl, grabbing a hold of her wrist which more or so threw Dlanor in for a loop. The fact that they made physical contact, it was nearing the point that Dlanor would usually lose her cool. Not exactly catching drift of Dlanor's inner turmoil, the detective blinked upon taking in her outfit. ❝ Geez Dlanor, even after the Metaworld Witches decided to chill it with the Games, you're still wearing that uniform? C'mon, I need to get you something nice. I mean, you are invited to little Morgan's 1st birthday party after all. ❞

Her throat went dry at that revelation. That's right, Dlanor remembered that Erika and Robin's daughter, Morgan, became a Witch in the original Multiverse after time-traveling into the Witch's Game incident. So here... Erika was sharing a normal domestic life with her husband Robin and her daughter Morgan.

❝ Oh, I didn't see you there, Willard. Er, I thought you were helping Lion pick out food to cater for Morgan's birthday party. ❞ Erika turned her attention to Willard, who had been stone-faced this entire time in this peaceful Avalon.

❝ Went to fetch over Dlanor here. I know her best anyways. ❞ Willard nonchalantly spoke, giving a bit of room for Dlanor to breathe in this situation. Though, he felt his heart stop the moment he heard that name. Lion Ushiromiya. That person was only to exist in the Miracle timeline of the Rokkenjima Incident... but with how everything appeared to be, it was only appropriate in this new setting for him to be here.

❝ Well, you better go and help out your boyfriend. He's probably lugging all the food by himself over down the block. ❞ Erika sighed, leaving another bombshell of an info reveal for Willard. Him and Lion? Dammit, he didn't need to know that at all, especially in this reality. Though, he took a deep breath, he needed to endure this and play along until something broke. He knew that even Lion's existence as a Miracle was to be shattered... it pained him to know that the boy was even here to begin with. With a silent nod, Willard went in the direction that Erika pointed him over to, in order to run into Lion.

❝ And there he goes. I can never understand him sometimes. ❞ The detective shrugged, but brought her mood up as she turned her attention to Dlanor and everyone else present. ❝ Say... Dlanor, did you tell everybody else about the birthday party too? I don't mind if we got a lot of people coming over. It makes the birthday party for my cute Morgan even more memorable. ❞

Dlanor found herself unable to work up a response to the detective's question. It was that shocking to her. Maybe someone could jump in and answer for her, considering that she wasn't in the best mental state to verbally approach this.

"...Luca..."

He should have known it'd be her. He should have known, and yet...it stunned him. Married? The two of them...he had never expected to even SEE her again, and yet, here she was. But...she wasn't really his wife, was she? He never recalled courting her, or proposing, or anything!

But...if he were to admit that...it would hurt her, wouldn't it? And...oh Gods, he really didn't want to do that. So, instead, he smiled at her. "Er...yes. Do forgive me, catching up with friends does distract me..."

"Hee hee! Oh Libra, don't be silly! You're so in love, you've been as clumsy as I am!"

The familiar voice startled Libra, and he stared at the girl before him.

"Sumia!"

"How are you? Oh, Cordelia, you look lovely...though a bit stressed. You aren't overworking yourself again, are you?" Sumia noticed Ben and waved to him. "Hello, Ben! I see you're still proving that flower fortune wrong!"

"Hmph!" Severa plopped down on a bench, arms crossed. The only thing she really wanted was her mother. And now, since she had that...there wasn't much for her! Well, maybe knowing who her dad was would be cool...but ugh! She was gonna sulk for a minute, then go to the hotel. Not like anyone would even notice, all these people here...

---

"Surprise!!!"

A chipper voice piped up from behind Jotaro, and someone hugged him from behind a second later, giggling like a child. It was rather easy to figure out who it was.

"Hi, Mister Jotaro! Wow, you look just like you did when Miss Blue gave you some years! Do you remember that, Miss Blue? That was fun!"

"You bet I am, Sumia!" Ben stands up, still smothered by tiny alien moths, most notably one on his head. "Changing fate and destiny is one of my many tasks. Well, kinda... I guess... hero work encompasses a lot, that included. Also, it's great to see you again after all this time. How have you been?"

In a flash of red from Ben's inner jacket, a beast pops up to join in with the madhouse party.

"Skree-ee-ee!"

Meanwhile, one of the little moth-like beings that just called Ben 'Mama' a while ago flaps its little wings, flying towards Severa being alone on a bench.

"Hmr?"

Meanwhile, two rather large robots that were more than twice of anyone's height and what seemed to be a young, petite girl(?) walked past everyone, entering the market.

"With our collective minds and intellect, soon, I will be Mayor of Avalon!"

"It is illogical to say such things without having to set your campaign up first, Starscream. I am certain that we require more members."

"Why not the three of us go grab a bite at Rattrap's while we discuss our political plans?"

"Is Cybertronian food even edible to you, Ernesti Echevalier?"

---

Behind Schala, a voice sounded.

"Boo."

It was-

"Teehee~ Did I scare you~? I haven't seen you since that incident. What was your name again?"

As he walked the streets of Avalon, Jiren felts the seas of his heart grow calm, its waves slowing until it could flow peacefully. He felt himself get lost in the sights and the sounds, his find drifting off into the colour. For some reason, he felt as if he had forgotten something... something important...

Well... It can't be too important if I have forgotten what it is

Rolling his cape across his shoulders, Jiren waded through the sea of Avalonians, feeling the beating of hundreds of joyful hearts batter against his feeling energies. For the first time in what he believed to be the history of the multiverse, he heard spirits singing songs of happiness. Everone seemed to have something in their hearts worth valuing- worth protecting- yet they lacked the drive to lust over it. In the face of so many joyous reunions, the entire multiverse seemed united in a chorus of appreciation. Conflict seemed like a distant memory.

On the topic thereof, he couldn't place his finger on what he had forgotten...

Of course! There was someone he needed to meet...

But what was her name? Sara? Charal? Her name seemed to slip from his tongue as soon as he uttered it. And there was someone else too, but his name seemed even harder to grasp. It seemed to shift and change whenever his mind reached for it. One moment it began with a P and C, and the next it began with a B. On a world the size of Avalon, what hope did he have of tracking down such souls if he couldn't so much as remember their titles, let along their faces? Yet deep his soul, something new and uneasy, urged him to try.

Teacher? Jiren reached out with his mind My Old Master... I am having trouble with my thoughts again... lend me your clarity, Great Patriarch...

Jiren, my boy The voice called in response Focus your spirits. Remember all I thought you... Balance yourself, and all will come to you

"Thank you, Old Muten... I will return to you all soon enough. As promised... I will conclude my training then... but for now, I must conclude my mission... I must find the source of my dreams"

"Fear not" Teacher's voice seemed to echo forth much more clearly, his words sharp and focused. Though the two were planets apart, the connection between the master and his student bound them together no matter how many worlds stood between them "I trust your judgement, and I know that you will find the answers you need on that world of lights. Give my love to your boy and your partner"

"I shall" A natural laugh escaped his lips "I will give them my regards as soon as I return to them. They should be returning from the market now... My family" His chest grew lighter "I won't let my tribe drift too far away from me. Belmond only knows what I would do would do without them..."

"Now now, my son. You'll only scare you son speaking like that... you and I both know that Belmond is nothing more than a fairy tale to scare naughty children... Noone is that powerful!"

"Certainly not the likes of us, anyway"

After a shared chuckle, the two minds drifted apart again.

"Now... onto my mission... To find that Scha-ra, Pacool and that Marian... and to find the source of those incredible dreams"​

 

[Ver]

"Eeh? Seven years later and you still can't tell that you shouldn't ask a lady stuff like that!" The woman whom Jotaro recognized as Aoko Aozaki wagged a finger at Ben while the other was poised at her hip. Still, she let out a soft laugh as Ermes clarified the nature of her relationship with Jolyne, the red-headed woman shrugging her shoulders slightly. "I see, I see. Either way, you really do look like your father! Seems just like yesterday I met him while he was still in high school, and now look at him, huh?" She said to Jolyne.

As a certain chipper girl came to appear before Jotaro as well, another acquaintance, Aoko gave a wave. "It was, wasn't it, SeeU? Amazing how time flies across the multiverse. He's already got a kid!"

"Hmm. Well, in my infinite wisdom, I suppose I'll forgive you this time," the woman named Luca said playfully to Libra meanwhile, still clinging on to him, "I'd be a fool to let you go, after all! Besides, I'm sure Sumia can use her fortunes to decide that we're meant to stay together, hmm?"

Meanwhile, Touma, with a heavy sigh, sat down on the bench next to Severa, visibly troubled as he ever was as he clasped his hands together in deep thought.

"... This... really is real, isn't it? There'd be no point in making it an illusion if Othinus had the power to make this the new reality, but... It's still hard to accept," the boy said in a depressed manner, "I guess it'll just be a matter of time before I see people from back home myself, but... What about you then?"

Rita Hanson and Phil Connors - Happiness is Seeing You for the First Time.

Rita stared and wondered if she could do it. Take his happiness away from him, it was something that she hadn't considered until now. She wasn't so sure.

Phil remembered it all and that made it even worse, but he didn't dare to say it. Was it really only yesterday?. It felt weird to think that it might have only been a day ago that he had made a choice to help out with the mission. And here he was, on the happiest place he had ever known and he still felt empty. He wasn't depressed, he didn't want to kill himself, but it didn't feel right. Like the possibility of what he could say right now was bounded, yet infinite. What could he say to make them know that he knew? What words could he say to let anyone know, but not let Othinus know that he realized he had made a mistake? What words could he use? What could he possibly say? It was then that he realized what he could say. " I'm here and I'm fine." He hoped that someone could catch what he meant from those words.

He knew. As soon as he spoke, she knew those words. She had heard him say it in the loop. The most positive words he could utter were the ones with the most significance. She didn't reply to that, but casted a look at Max and Mason that showed that he remembered, that he had a tinge of regret though his voice didn't show it.

"Ahahahaha yeeeaaah... that might actually explain why I broke up. Twice," Ben sheepishly adds to Aoko's conversation as he scratches his head, then turns to SeeU. "Definitely didn't forget about you, SeeU, how's it been?"

One of the 'Little Chills' that clung closely to and flew around Ben landed on SeeU's head.

"Glad to see you're out of the Null Void, Phil," Grandpa Max adds with a smile as he approaches him.

"You always meet the strangest of allies, Maxwell," Verdona says, floating by Max's side. "I do sense a bit of unhappiness in the midst of all this joy."

SeeU gasped. "He DOES??????" She turned to Jolyne, eyes widening. "You...you're Jotaro's daughter? You're one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen!!!" She noticed Ermes. "You too! You have the prettiest hairstyles!!!"

As Ben addressed her, he, too, would receive a huge hug. "Ben!!!! It's you!!!! You've grown too!!" A little creature landed on her head, and she giggled. "How cute!!!"

Sumia giggled. "Oh please! You don't need flower fortunes to see how much you two belong together...just like me and Chrom!"

"You and...Chrom?"

"Oh, pfft, not OUR Chrom! He's happily married to Robin back in Ylisse. Come on, Libra, YOU'RE the one who introduced me to Chrom from another universe!" She showed off a ring on her left hand. "Wow, time not only flies for you, but you have poor memory, too? You should probably get that checked out."

"Er...yes. I really should." He smiled, but in reality, Libra had no idea what to do. They were both so happy! ...could he be happy with them? Knowing what the truth of this world was, what it took to get them here...

Severa swatted at the little bug creature absentmindedly, not even noticing that it wasn't actually a bug. "Leave it to Othinus to forget to eliminate bugs in her perfect world..." she mumbled.

As Touma joined her, Severa shrugged. "Well...there were really only two things I really cared about back home: mother and surviving. Well...shopping, too, I guess. I never met my dad, I didn't really have a ton of friends...Othinus kind of gave me my perfect world already by telling me Ylisse was okay! I don't even know what perfect for me would be..."

"Hey, there she is!" Two girls approached the pair on the bench, and Severa's jaw dropped.

"Kjelle?"

The girl named Kjelle nodded, grinning. "The one and only! Severa...your beauty tips actually worked! Well, kind of. I think I put too much mascara on...but Gerome asked me to the dance this weekend!"

"Aha! I KNEW she'd slip up somehow!" Severa pointed at the girl, as if catching her in a lie. "You can't fool me, Kjelle! You're anything BUT feminine!"

Kjelle merely chuckled. "Yeah, you told me that a lot when giving me those beauty tips. But they worked! You can tell her, right Noire?"

A girl peeked her head out from behind Kjelle, smiling timidly.

"I-It's true! I saw it...Kjelle invited Gerone out to exercise, then...he did it! It was amazing...just like how..."

"Oh don't tell me..."

"J-Just like how you helped me with Yarne! I was so afraid to ask him, b-but you convinced me to, and now...we're even going to lunch today! All thanks to you, Severa! I don't know what we'd do without you..."

Severa was speechless, mouth open slightly. So...this was what she wanted? Blast...it was actually kind of nice. But she couldn't let this stop her...there had to be SOMETHING. She refused to let Othinus be right!

"Anyway, we were hoping later, we could go shopping for clothes for that dance," Kjelle continued. "You know the only thing I look for in my clothing is mobility and defense, not style. You ARE going, right?"

"Uhh...psh, yeah! Why would I pass up a dance?"

"Yeah, silly question. And hey, who knows?" Her eyes wandered over to Touma, then back to Severa. "Maybe someone will ask you soon."

"...oh, Gawds."

"Oh, and who might you be? Mr. Kujo's darling daughter? And... err... your girlfriend?-

.
If Jotaro looked down he'd see a look on Jolyne's face that conveyed who the fuck is this woman?

"Hi, Mister Jotaro! Wow, you look just like you did when Miss Blue gave you some years! Do you remember that, Miss Blue? That was fun!"

Yare yare daze.

Once again, Jotaro Kujo was left stunned as the events unfolded before his thousand-yard stare like a movie. Aoko and SeeU emerging around him like Stands themselves, and Jolyne's piercing glare that threatened to throw Jotaro into the wall like a dramatic punch. The tall man, in response to to all this attention on him from both real and unreal, tipped his cap downward and sighed.

This is going to be annoying.

"It's... good to see you two again," Jotaro opened with an earnest greeting, patting SeeU on the head as he slowly pushed her off. It was nice to see Aoko and SeeU again... even if he wasn't going to see them for long. "I see you haven't aged much yourself, Aoko... or, maybe I just don't see it."

Jotaro looked to his daughter, silently directing her to look to the little girl and woman before him. "Jolyne, this is Aoko and SeeU. They were allies of mine when I ended up in Gotham," he calmly said, before looking back to the two of them and gesturing to his daughter. "This is my daughter, Jolyne, and her friend, Ermes."

There. Now to find a way to disengage from the conversation.









hello?










Suddenly, Libra felt something lightly tugging at his pant leg.

"..."

It waved!

SeeU gasped. "He DOES??????" She turned to Jolyne, eyes widening. "You...you're Jotaro's daughter? You're one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen!!!" She noticed Ermes. "You too! You have the prettiest hairstyles!!!"

As Ben addressed her, he, too, would receive a huge hug. "Ben!!!! It's you!!!! You've grown too!!" A little creature landed on her head, and she giggled. "How cute!!!"

Sumia giggled. "Oh please! You don't need flower fortunes to see how much you two belong together...just like me and Chrom!"

"You and...Chrom?"

"Oh, pfft, not OUR Chrom! He's happily married to Robin back in Ylisse. Come on, Libra, YOU'RE the one who introduced me to Chrom from another universe!" She showed off a ring on her left hand.

"Easy there, SeeU," Ben says in response as he was hugged tightly. "I see you still have that upgraded combat chip."

SeeU compliments the Little Chill.

"Hrm..."

"These little guys over here are my kids," Ben nonchalantly adds, his hands gesturing towards the various Little Chills, one just returning from being swatted away by Severa, "looong story."

He then points to the brown-furred mammalian being rubbing against his feet.

"And that's Buddy."

He then looks over to Grandpa Max's position, which was near Phil.

"And that's my Grandpa. He's doing a bit of catching up himself."

Chise blinked as all of these people suddenly approached, turning her head to the side to watch them interact curiously, there was a sudden movement and a brief bit of white from the corner of her eye. Turning her head just as-

She was flicked on the forehead.

"?!" She gasped in surprise, before bringing a hand up to rub there.

"That childish Thorn Mage really needs to help you work on your reflexes, eh Chise?" Came a rather amused tone, one that at Libra and Ben would be familiar with.

"Lindel!" She gasped, earning a tilt of the head from the Warden.

"Hmm? Why so surprised?~ I know I'm rather handsome Chise, but it shouldn't be that surprising." He spoke in amusement, before squinting and leaning foreward to get a good look at her, hands on his hips. "Tsk. You haven't been sleeping properly." He chided before shaking his head and standing straight. "You still haven't learned to properly control how much magic you release, yeah?" He tapped her on the forehead and she pouted a bit, before glancing down to Ruth. She hadn't seen him in some time, but knowing that Lindel was here...ot made her a little nervous about meeting anyone else from her world.

"Ah, that reminds me. Elias was looking for you, but it seems he already found you." He spoke, pointing to her shadow, where it appeared a few thorns were rising from it.

Oh no. She didn't want to see him right now.

"Hm? Ah, Ben, Libra, good to see you." Lindel waved,before a mischievous smirk crossed his face towards the two-specifically the Yleasian Priest, as if Libra was suddenly a target. A target for teasing that is.

Allies from his teen years huh? "Funny how this has never come up in a conversation earlier, dad." Though to be fair, it's not like Jotaro was someone who talked about himself a whole lot. She knew his birthday...that's about it. "It's really nice to meet you friends of dad." Jolyne hissed through gritted teeth in the friendliest way she could muster. "I wonder if mom's around." She elbowed Jotaro playfully in the stomach. "Wouldn't that be something?"

Ermes meanwhile gave out niceties smiling and waving at anyone who introduced themselves. "Your dad's really popular with the ladies, Jolyne."

"Don't. Say. Another. Word."

"I sure do! I haven't gotten to see Harper after Gotham, but that's okay, she's probably busy! I've been busy too, performing all over the Multiverse!" SeeU giggled. "You all have kids, that's so cool! Humans are so amazing!"

"Kids, eh? Them milk hormones are makin' kids parents in their teens! Oh, and speakin' of milk..."

Ben found the sunlight blocked from behind by a large shadow. Peering down at him was someone he was bound to remember.

"Don't think I forgot 'bout that milkshake, Ben. And I'm chargin' you a cheeseburger as interest!"

"You really can't pass up any chance for free food, can you, Birdie." Another familiar face arrived on the scene, with an unfamiliar facial expression on her face: a smile.

"It's good to see you again, Ben. And you as well, Giorno. How have you two been keeping?"

"Long enough that I haven't gotten the chance to remind you how adorable it is watching you and Luca interact with each other." The Mage snickered.

"Are these friends of yours, Noembelu? Your friend group seems to be growing quite a bit lately." Came an unfamiliar voice to all but one, Noembelu herself.

Peeking out from behind Noembelu, the woman in question smiled, wrapping her arms around one of Noembelu's happily.

"I don't like it."

With a simple response to Touma, Leivinia sat down on the bench next to him and Severa, arms and legs crossed. It wasn't that there wasn't anybody that she would have wanted to see. There were admittedly extraordinarily few, but the number wasn't zero. Rather, it was more as though she were hesitant to actually see any personal part of the new world that Othinus had made. As if seeing her sister happy would, paradoxically, not bring her any happiness at all.

The world was so easily changed? Happiness and safety were so easily granted on a whim? Having full command over the world itself amounted to nothing more than a game?

"It's this easy to take over the world? Othinus can just 'make everyone understand each other' and people will coordinate that easily? Give me a break! What the hell has been the point of the Dawn-Colored Sunlight then? What's been the point of studying magic and people all these years? It's really unpleasant, dammit!"

She stomped on the ground while gritting her teeth. There was anger, but no real target. Happiness itself was nothing to get angry over. She wasn't sadistic to the point others becoming happy would actually frustrate her.

It just...made all her ambitions feel tiny and pointless, seeing how easily they could be accomplished.

Yet she couldn't deny that Othinus had made it "real." Even if the remnants of the "original" world no longer aligned with this one.
