they were watching Kamen Rider Ex-Aid as Teony gets up and mimics the movements of  one of her favorite character.

Teony/Poppy: Kamen Rider POPPY!

Tari and their mother laughed at how adorable it was.

Teony: Mommy, can I be like Poppy?

Mother: Sure you can, sweetie. Just believe that you could. Now it's time for bed.

Tari turns off the TV and walks over to her room as their mother puts Teony in hers.

Teony: Can you sing me the lullaby again?

Mother: Alright. 

Aishiteru banzai!


Koko de yokatta watashitachi no ima ga koko ni aru
Aishiteru banzai!
Hajimatta bakari ashita mo yoroshiku ne mada gooru janai


Waratte yo kanashii nara fuki to basou yo
Waraetara kawaru keshiki harema ga nozoku
Fuan demo shiawase e to tsunagaru michi ga
Miete kita yo na aozora


Tokidoki ame ga furu kedo mizu ga nakucha taihen
Kawaicha dame da yo minna no yume no ki yo sodate


Saa!
Daisuki da banzai!
Makenai yuuki watashitachi wa ima o tanoshimou
Daisuki da banzai!
Ganbareru kara kinou ni te o futte hora mae muite


Susunde yo kurushikute mo tonari ni ite yo
Susundara moeru taiyou higashi o terasu
Mayotteta kotae ga nai saki e no michi wa
Daremo shiranai ienai


Totsuzen arashi no naka e ochiru gin no hikari
Obiecha dame da yo minna no yume no ki wa tsuyoi


Saa!
Aishiteru banzai!
Koko de yokatta watashitachi no ima ga koko ni aru
Aishiteru banzai!
Hajimatta bakari ashita mo yoroshiku ne mada gooru janai


Tokidoki ame ga furun da kaze de miki ga yureru
Issho ni ikun da minna no yume no ki yo sodate


Saa!
Daisuki da banzai!
Makenai yuuki watashitachi wa ima o tanoshimou
Daisuki da banzai!
Ganbareru kara kinou ni te o futte hora mae muite

Such happy times it was. Until that very night. Tari was coming from school when horror struck. Her house was on fire and the thought of her parents and sister were inside.

Tari ran to the front door when it explodes in a blaze. She goes for the side door which was lock, so she smashed it with a chair.

Tari: Mom! Dad! 

She heard screams from upstairs. The screams sounding like her sister.

Tari: Teony!

She raced up the stairs, going over fallen debris and smoke when she reached her room. Before she could open the door the house collapsed all around her.

It was tragic. The following day, everyone gathered at the funeral. 

(Flashbacks over)

Tari looked at her sister and bushed the hair off her forehead. Everyone was silent upon seeing her memories.

Tari: How can I...

The Fallen: It's tragic. Unfortunately the fire was fake.

Tari: What?

The Fallen: The fire was just a cover up to kidnap your sister. All orchestrated by a corrupt government branch to create an army. Of course, you know what I'm talking about don't you, Yokai?

Drift: That's not who I am anymore. My name is Drift.

Tari: What is he talking about?

Drift: Project Muse was focused on creating someone with the power of music to bring about war. They kidnapped many children to whom did not survive the first testing. Your sister was the only one who survived each experiment. They were to turn her into a weapon. She was beaten, drugged, even going to be raped if we didn't stepped in. Though I didn't know what plans he had for the girl, I instead took her far away.
