"You hear that, 'Yuki? We're going home...!" (Y/N) said with a tired smile towards their red-headed friend, who wiped her tears as she nodded.
'As if I didn't know we were gonna be back in like- three chapters-!'

"Is that... Walnut Stone?" Shirayuki questioned as they turned their attention back to Kiki, who held out the little ornaments that came attatched with necklace strings.
"From the package Zen sent. He asked me to include this for you two, along with this message," Kiki explained as she gently handed them over to the two.
"It's really pretty..." (Y/N) said to themselves as they held the item gingerly in their hand, observing how the stone was held in a little detailed cage.

"She's awesome...!"
"That's sweet of her."

The sound of footsteps could be heard from outside before the door suddenly opened, revealing one of the crew members, who had his eyes on the red-head.
"Hey, Apple-head!" the man said, making Shirayuki gasp slightly at the call. "You're up."
"What do you want!?" Kazuki exclaimed angrily at the man, but the conversation only got muffled as (Y/N) turned their attention to Kiki and Shirayuki.
