## Summary

This episode is a BACKSTORY (until the end). After giving birth to Yami and Yumeka, Sakura is told by Hideki that she'll get separated from her kids once they turn six. Hideki lets her know that it's because Piarl wants to protect them -- but there's something darker going on...

## Plot

Hideki roams the hospital hallway -- in search of Sakura. Once he finds her, he lets her know that he, along with some others, were looking after her kids. Hideki tells her that the twins have powers; Sakura doesn't understand how. Hideki informs her that it might have been because the powers were passed on randomly, or he believes that Yumeji might have been a Guardian. Sakura doesn't believe the latter -- as she believes Yumeji would have told them, if he was. Sakura is frightened that RomReo might be after her, but Hideki reassures her. He informs her that she will be separated from her kids once they turn six, and that she'll only be able to visit them twice a year. However, that's the current plan, and it is subject to change. The rule was made so that Piarl was more able to protect the two Guardians, while Sakura gets the help she needs. Sakura discovers that her children are sick, as well. Hideki promises that he won't let anything bad happen to them.

Timeskip to when the twins are five, and are playing hide and seek. Sakura isn't paying attention to them, lost in thought. Yumeka starts coughing violently. Her mother and her brother are both concerned. Sakura, holding a teacup, tells them to try out the tea, as it could make them feel better. Yumeka and Yami start a little tradition -- where they will drink tea once in a while. Sakura, however, having worry completely wash over her, is ready to tell them what will happen tomorrow, as it's their birthday.

Timeskip to the twins being fourteen. Yumeka is searching for Yami, and finds him in a room that was once locked. Yami found some files that Piarl left. Yumeka wonders how Yami managed to open the door, and Yami tells her that he used his power, but is quite afraid of it, as he can't control it properly. Yami is worried, since tomorrow is their fifteen birthday. He informs Yumeka how traitors in Piarl want to experiment on the twins the day after. Yami wants to leave straight away, as the security cameras may have noticed Yami breaking down the door and finding the files. Yumeka argues with him. Yami, tired of her, plans to leave without her. Yumeka regrets it and follows after Yami, apologizing. Quietly, they exit the house.

Outside, there is RomReo. Yumeka accidentally steps on a tree branch, alerting RomReo. The twins run into the forest, with RomReo following after them. Yumeka suddenly stops; she coughs. Yami is concerned, but Yumeka tells him to leave. Yami doesn't want to leave without her and reassures her that everything will be all right. RomReo finally catches up to them.

The episode then cuts to present Yumeka in bed. When she wakes up, Yuki is there, asking her if she can take her out.

## Trivia

* The "trapping with you" line is foreshadowing to Yumeka trapping Yami in the Void.
* Mosc/Ciara's parents are both present in this episode.
* The "seven, eight, ten" was actually an accident -- but very fitting.
* Yami's symbol on his shirt being black, whilst Yumeka's being white suggests a kind of evil/good dynamic.
* Yami's shirt design when he's 15 links to Alex's Void design.
* The short monologue Yumeka gives Yami is a parallel to the ep12 monologue.
