Saki Tsuzura/AH3 Storyline

## Main Storyline

### My Summer Vacation

Heart shows up to meet with Saki and Maori, but their chilly reception leaves her confused. Calmly, Saki asks her why they were getting together today, and Heart answers *to do summer homework*, then she asks her what time they would be meeting up and Heart answers *around one*. Saki asks Maori what time it is and she informs her it is after two- but Heart can't understand, saying she left around eleven. Saki asks her what she did between these time frames and Heart recalls that she had several conversations with Lilica, Yoriko, Konoha, Nazuna, and Akane.

Heart sees that her watch still says it's eleven and Maori observes it to see that the battery must be dead. Saki remains in a foul mood and Heart apologizes for unknowingly keeping them waiting, and Maori tries to calm her. Worriedly, Heart asks Saki if she is angry:

**Of course I am!** -

**Not at all** - Heart is surprised and asks Saki if she hates her now, but Saki -somewhat flustered- assures her that she could never hate her. Heart cheers up and Maori explains that she was probably worried about her, so she became agitated. She also informs Heart that Saki tried to call her; several times.

**. . .**  -

Saki scolds Maori for being such a blabbermouth and Heart apologizes again for making them worry. Saki claims she's *used* to it by now though, and she assumed Heart got into trouble. Heart is very happy that her friends care so much about her, but she feels bothered by the fact that they were so worried over something very simple. Seeing this, Saki tells her that she didn't do anything wrong so there isn't any point in feeling this way, and to make her feel better she reminds Heart that she had something to show them.

Remembering this, Heart reveals that she found something while at the Tration Station; it's for the *Tokyo Magical Stamp Rally*. Maori takes the paper and reads over the details: *Go to the Five Checkpoints and collect their stamps. Prizes will be awarded to those who make it to the Goal Points. For those who do not win there is still a special Prize Drawing just for showing up.* Saki takes over to reveal that it starts at nine am and those who compete are only given *three hours* to complete it. No matter the weather conditions it will be held.

Heart asks them to compete with her since it sounds like fun, and she recalls how their other friends may be participating too:

**If you really want to** - Initially Saki passes knowing that a lot of people will show up. But when she sees how saddened Heart becomes, she quickly decides that if this is really what Heart wants, then she will reconsider. When Heart gets really excited Saki yells at her to calm down and agrees to join.

**I don't really feel like it** -

**What say you, Maori?** -

Maori agrees to participate too and Saki reminds her friends that they had planned on doing homework the next few days since Heart had so much. Heart promises to do her best today so that they can focus on the event, and Saki decides to encourage her by threatening not to let them attend the event if she can't finish her work. Heart feels sad but Maori supports the idea so they get to work. They head back home and Maori brings up her research project on Asagao flowers with her sisters. But at the time she can't really complete it yet. Since Saki has already finished hers, she offers to lend Maori a hand, leading Heart to make a comment before promising once more to do her best.

### Get it Together, Heart

The next day Saki arrives to see Heart and Maori are waiting for her and she makes a remark that Heart obviously doesn't show up for *fun* things. Heart admits that she barely slept due to excitement and Saki scolds her for not taking better care of herself. Heart insists she will be fine though, because Saki will be with her. Embarrassed by this, Saki comments that she wouldn't leave Heart if she was to suddenly drop or feel sickly, then she quickly greets Maori to change the subject. Maori remarks on the pleasantly sunny weather when Saki becomes aware of the crowd gathering; all people who will also be participating. She begins to feel uncomfortable as Heart points out that because it's summer a lot of people are free, and it's mainly little kids with their parents.

Maori mentions seeing Yoriko and Lilica earlier on and Heart eagerly hopes to see them since it's been a while. Saki agrees, with the exception of Lilica. The event is about to begin when they see that at the nearby area there is a stamp sheet with hints for the various checkpoints. A line has began to form and Heart lightens Saki's concerns by reminding them that even if they lose, they still get to participate in the prize drawing. The girls begin to take notice of their friends, with Lilica causing trouble, Yoriko seemingly being tired already, and Akane who was trying to use the microphone on stage as a frustrated Nazuna watches from nearby. Saki takes amusement in knowing things won't be boring.

By the time the girls finally obtain their stamp sheet thirty minutes have already passed. After getting it stamped Maori recalls that they were standing in a red stamp line, next to them is the blue stamp line. Saki recalls an orange stamp line nearby and wonders if these colors mean anything, but she drops the subject since the pamphlet didn't mention it. Heart goes on to read the clue, "*Placing the right letter into the O will give you the next checkpoint*" and she wonders if the stamp could be located at Ikebukuro, like Hinodechou Oark. Maori and Saki both seem to come to the right answer, but Saki is displeased as this isn't really a true hint, but an outright definition. Maori to comment that this wasn't designed to be challenging though, nor misleading as Saki assures they probably made it easy, since children are partaking in this as well. She asks if they should take the JR Lines or the Subway to reach the next destination. To their surprise, Heart suddenly asks what could possibly go in the *O*.

**Um... "P"** - Saki points this out to her and suddenly Heart seems to get it. She recognizes the Park because Konoha lives there, then she praises Saki, who feels conflicted. Maori simply tells Saki to smile and nod as they trail behind her. She rushes to join Heart and Saki complains, wishing she was back at home.

**Heart, get a grip!** -

**Maori... Help...** -

By the time they make it to the park, Heart attempts to raise Saki's spirits until she spots Konoha's house. She remarks on how it would like something you see at a park and wants to check it, but Maori reminds her that they need to look for the stamp. Saki notices that there isn't nearly as many people here but a sizeable line has still formed.

While they wait, Catherine approaches them and determines what they were doing. Saki asks her what she is doing, but she doesn't delve into much detail, going on to claim Saki is mean after she tells her that they don't have time to waste. She threatens to cry, which will undoubtedly cause a scene, but when Saki calls her bluff Catherine reconsiders. She is about to tell them what brought her there, only to change her mind and say that she got a part-time job from Petra. She is supervising the checkpoint for the stamp rally, assuring them that they can come to her with questions they might have. Heart asks how Petra is doing and after Catherine answers "*same as always*", Saki finds her patience wearing thin.

By the time they get their second stamp, Saki is beginning to feel uneasy. Maori notices and asks if it might be the color of the stamp, which she confirms. But unsure of why they continue on and decide to watch for anything suspicious or out of place. Heart reads the next clue: "*Oational Academy of Metaphysics Central Quad*":

**Let's get going** -

**What's the answer?** - Saki asks Heart if she knows the answer for this one, but Heart struggles and gets distracted. Saki threatens to just go home and in an instant, Heart answers that it's their school. Saki expresses relief in knowing that Heart at least knows this much.

**I'm going home** -

Before they can take off, Catherine approaches and asks them to stay a little bit longer. But the girls didn't hear her and she complains over being blown off.

### Hang in There...

The girls are surprised when they arrive to the school to see a lot of unfamiliar people, which is odd to them because even those who do not attend the school are rarely allowed on its grounds, even during festivals or events. Elsa spots them and comes by to ask what is going on, commenting how she's seen a bunch of people she recognizes. Including Lilica, who ran away screaming for some reason. The girls ask Elsa why she is there and as it turns out, she was out for a walk. The girls are suspicious and she admits that she had been out in search of something that would increase her luck. It's then she remarks upon the stamp and how she isn't surprised by the groups both being *red*. Heart admits that she had noticed the unique color-changing ink, and Maori and Saki express curiosity as Heart goes on to bring up how she wants a blue stamp next, to represent Saki.

With that Elsa decides to take off, but Maori stops her to bring up that there is a bakery nearby. Elsa happily decides to stop by there to try the red bean pastries they have, but she asks to speak to Maori for a couple of minutes. She agrees and they take off.

Maori returns a while later and reveals that the ink changes color to match the users Celestial Power. Anyone with high power get red, while those with none get blue, and orange is for anyone in between. Heart is sad to realize she wont be getting any blue stamps now, but Saki is more curious to find out why Elsa knew this, or why they were using a strange method. Maori comments that they shouldn't worry over it and they head to their next stamp location. But as they arrive she is grabbed by someone, causing the girls to have to run after her. They find Elsa with Maori -now unconscious- and she explains how she saved her, then she runs up ahead to grab Clarice and bring her back to the girls while demanding she apologize. She refuses and Elsa scolds her. Saki realizes that it was probably a case of jealous on Clarice's part, and she frets that she may someday get like that.

As they wait for Maori to recover, Clarice returns with a more convincing apology. She's upset as she explains how she never meant to hurt anyone, she just didn't like Maori begin so close to Elsa. She asks to be forgiven and Maori agrees, along with Saki, who apologizes for overreacting. Elsa believes she isn't entirely to blame though, because she should have watched Clarice more closely. She tells her to return home and places her under house arrest for the time being. She also suggests that Maori return home to rest as she's had a long day, and after Maori agrees she offers to see her home. Clarice gets further frustrated but being reminded of her punishment, she takes off. The girls ask if they should come with Maori, but she tells them that she just needs a little bit of rest so they can stay and continue. She apologizes for not staying to finish with them but Heart tells her that they will win the prize either way, so she doesn't need to feel bad.

After the two leave, Heart and Saki discuss the recent events before continuing to the next checkpoint.

### Our Summer Vacation

The girls are disappointed that Maori had to leave, but it couldn't be helped. While Saki feels better after some time Heart is still down over it, until Saki reminds her that *she* is still there. At the next hint, *Oerima Amusement Park* Saki recognizes the name and expresses annoyance at having to pay for their next stamp. Heart notices something on the paper saying that those collecting stamps actually don't need to pay, so they head over.

The line isn't very big and Saki points out that the other entrants could have chosen to quit to enjoy the park. They just need this last stamp, then they can head to the finish line. But she offers to just stay there and have some fun if Heart doesn't care about winning the rally. Heart eagerly takes this offer for a chance to go on a *park date* with Saki, flustering her as she mentally regrets saying this and tries to calm down. She tries to return focus to the stamps but she's unable to do so while Heart attempts to figure out what they should do first.

They settle on walking around the park and come across the Ferris Wheel, where Heart spots Konoha and stops to speak with her. She learns that Kamui thought this was too silly to join, and while Konoha seems to be having fun, she thinks she is also sad. Konoha reveals she doesn't know how to leave the park and Heart suggests that she comes with them then under the assumption she has her stamps already, but as it turns out Konoha got lost on the way to the first checkpoint, so she doesn't even have that one. Heart offers to take her back and hands over their stamp sheet to Saki, who doesn't get the chance to object before the girls take off. This depresses her as she boards the Ferris Wheel, and after it finishes she attempts to leave after overhearing Lieselotte making fun of her being alone.

Zenia stops her and asks to check her stamps first, noting that Saki has three red stamps so far and she is pleased; because the Public wasn't informed that before they collect their final stamp they have to fight her in a battle: but only if they have three red stamps. Before they start, Zenia offers to let Saki drop out, but Saki is in such a foul mood that she agrees to work off her frustrations. Lieselotte is disappointed when she beats Zenia and Saki collects her next stamp before receiving the final clue: *Olteda Celestial Shrine*. She heads over while contemplating that she may have finally figured out what has been going on.

### The Most Valuable Thing

Heart calls Saki as she arrives to the Shrine, revealing that she got separated from Konoha. She isn't sure what to do now or what she could have done, leading Saki to accuse Heart of making the younger girl uncomfortable. Heart denies this and Saki complains over being dumped at the park, then she tells her where to reunite with her. After hanging up, she approaches an employee to show them her stamp sheet, and she is told to go to a nearby room to wait, where she discovers Petra. Saki isn't surprised, thinking she may have been involved, but she's confused as it's revealed she won. She thought for sure others would have been there by now. Petra congratulates her and confirms that she *is* technically right, but she only wanted the first person to make it through with an entire sheet of red stamps. Saki reveals to Petra her theory; Petra held the stamp rally to locate more angels and to find someone worthy. They used special ink that would react to those with Celestial powers, and those who had blue stamps were given a prize and left, and anyone that was marked with orange will now be monitored in some way by asking for their address to send them a prize later on. Anyone with red would try to be recruited on the spot.

Impressed, Petra asks Saki how she could have figured this out until she brings up running into Elsa and Zenia. It was only natural to assume Petra had some sort of involvement. Petra goes on to explain why their search was necessary, revealing that her time in Japan has been extended so that they could try to keep her out of the way. The new director is not really a fan of hers so she could care-less about the Celestial Union. She wants to start a brand new organization and there was a large number of possible members from school; like Kamui, Maori, and Saki. Saki is honored that Petra believes she is worthy of such prestige, but she asks for an explanation. Petra states that Saki is someone easy to be around, she can tolerate her and they relate in terms of her goals and ideals. Saki agrees, but she declines the offer because where are plenty more things important to her and that she has qualities that she herself does not. Petra demands a fight, saying that if she truly believes in this she'll do it. Saki accepts with no hesitance.

Afterwards, Saki confides in Petra after being asked what she was complaining about earlier. She stumbles over her words while trying to say that she doesn't want to leave everyone else behind, and she's proud of her school. She is sure that Petra would feel the same way, asking her if she could really walk away from those who trust her, and when Petra is unsure of how to respond, she ends the discussion and asks Saki not to say anything. She agrees and Petra asks what she would like as a grand prize. Saki requests tickets for the Amusement Park, as many as she can supply. When Petra assures her that she can give her as many as she wants, Saki asks for thirty in total. She wants to invite everyone involved in this incident, along with Petra. She seems surprised but quickly claims she's too busy, but she appreciates the gesture and thanks Saki before allowing her to leave.

Heart returns and Saki shows her their prize, with Heart expressing remorse for having kept her waiting. She's happy they won though, and she asks for details. Saki offers to tell her later and explains how she chose this specific prize in hopes of going there on a day where they could just take their time and spend it together. The girls make a promise to share great summer memories.

## Sub Story

### Valentine's Day

Saki is confused when she's approached by Yoriko with some chocolate, some *Friend Chocolate*. When she seems genuinely confused, Lilica joins them and the girls explain how on Valentine's Day, friends usually give chocolate to each other. Yoriko worriedly asks if she dislikes sweets but Saki assures her it's fine, she just didn't know about this. Lilica brings up that because of how cute the chocolate looked, she couldn't resist buying some. Yoriko teases her by claiming that she's just hoping to get something back for *White Day*, causing Lilica to quickly shush her. Yoriko reveals the chocolate she got, which has wrapping and a tombstone ornament. While Lilica thinks it's cute Saki fails to see the appeal as she goes on to call it "*Occult Chocolate*". You should only eat it when studying urban legends- they also come in a variety of shapes. Lilica bluntly disapproves of the chocolate and they begin to bicker, but as they make up Saki expresses amusement. Lilica snaps that Heart will probably give her a lot of chocolate, so they should just kiss already. Saki is stunned by this and she storms off.

That afternoon, Saki is joined by Heart who has once again showed up late. She didn't intend on it though, she ran the entire way back home to grab the giant cake she made for her. Saki tries to refuse the extravagant sweet, but she is very happy regardless. Heart then brings up friend chocolate and how she only makes it for Saki each year; she packs everything she feels for her and puts it into this special gift. Saki is earnestly touched and wishes she had something she could give back to Heart, but she kept messing up each time she tried. She apologizes, realizing now that she could have just bought her something, but Heart doesn't mind. Saki decides that in order to make it up to her, she will get her something for White Day.

### Matching Straps

Saki, Heart, and Maori are out when day when Heart spots something really cute. She runs from her friends to go and check it out and returns with the object, a phone strap of a crystal attached to a ribbon. Maori is happy and compliments how cute it looks and Heart reveals that she got one for the each of them too, pointing out that each one has a little birth stone gems on the straps, with Saki's being *Tiger Iron*, and Maori's being a *Scapolite*. Heart's own is called *Rice Pearl*. She then goes on to describe how special these stones are, in that they will keep the owner happy and protected as long as she carries it with her. Saki and Maori are very happy and they thank Heart for being so thoughtful.

### Photographs and Memories

While cleaning out her closet, Saki grows depressed after finding an old photo of Fiona. She recalls the day Fiona requested they take the picture.

She came running up to Saki one day, something she found odd since Fiona wasn't like that. She brought up seeing some classmates take a picture together and felt sad because as friends, they didn't have any pictures. She shows Saki the picture frame she got the day prior somehow, only to realize it must have come from Saki, since she was the only other person to know about her birthday. She thanks Saki and asks her to take a picture with her. She agrees and Fiona happily prepares for it- only to realize there isn't any film in the camera. Saki isn't that surprised to see that Fiona didn't have a digital camera yet.

Her memory ends and she recalls how they were able to able get the picture the next day. It had been the same day when the incident occurred and Fiona was taken away. Thinking about her failure to protect Fiona, she claims that things are different now. She can promise that.

### Iron Chef

Saki struggles to figure out what went wrong with the dish she was making. She's tried several times; the first it ended up tasting purely like butter, the second time there was a big flour mess, and now she cannot taste anything. She put a lot of work into it and followed the recipe entirely; she has no idea what's wrong with it.

While sadly mourning her poor cooking skills, Saki recalls how Heart told her it was good; even though she knew it wasn't. Just once she would like to make something Heart honestly did like. She begins to mope while wondering if she wasn't meant to be a chef, only to stop and realize that giving up would be a mistake. She thinks about Heart and what she would say in a scenario like this, then to focus on making some sweets. But to her surprise, Heart suddenly shows up wondering what she's doing. She offers to help Saki make gratin sauce, but Saki refuses and tells her to sit aside, as she wants to make it a gift to her and her aid would ruin that.

Heart really wants to cook with Saki but she is understanding. But should Saki need any help, she will come running the second she's in trouble. Saki claims that just being with Heart while she cooks is good enough though, with Heart agreeing.

### Glorious Spring 1

Saki and Maori are doing some window shopping when they suddenly find themselves thinking about Heart. Saki is pretty upset that she was unable to come with them since she was excited for their trip that day, and she had taken the time to find all of the best spots for them to check out.
Earlier Heart called while she was on her way to pick up Maori. She had gotten a fever and wasn't able to make it.

Maori snaps Saki out of her depressed thoughts and suggests that they just try to have enough fun for the three of them that day. Saki agrees and they resume window shopping while discussing the warm spring weather, but after Saki spots a dandelion, she thinks about Heart again; since she likes them and she thinks about the time she compared her to one, which makes her feel much better. She decides to bring Heart plenty of happiness too.

### Glorious Spring 2

Once again, Saki finds herself thinking about Heart. Maori tries lifting her spirits by suggesting they pay Heart a visit, with Saki quickly agreeing. Heart is delighted to see them, but while she doesn't feel as sick as she did before, her throat still hurts and she doesn't want them to catch it, which is why she opted to staying home.

The girls begin to tell her about their shopping trip but they explain how lonely they felt without her.  Heart feels bad for making them feel this way, but they claim it's fine since they came by free will, not obligation. They also brought a cake and plan to share it with her. Maori then takes off to prepare some tea in the kitchen as Saki reaches into her pocket to pull out one of the dandelion she saw earlier. She gives it to Heart while saying it was very lonely without her and she hopes she gets better soon so that they can all go shopping together next time.

### Going to the Pool

Saki is busy doing some swimsuit shopping when she is joined by Heart and Lilica. Heart reveals that they all seemed to have made plans to hit the pool together, especially considering she initially came with Kamui. She goes on to reveal what the three of them bought, not realizing the awkward tension between Saki and Lilica. They begin to bicker as she helplessly watches.

Later on, Saki checks to make sure she has everything. Such as a towel, an outfit, a hair brush. Despite sounding annoyed, she is secretly very excited for the trip.

### Things that Float

The following day at school Lilica comes by to inform Saki and Heart of the meeting that will be held after school, in order to discuss their pool trip on Saturday. She takes off after warning them not to be late- missing the important tidbit from Heart, who says she is too busy to attend. Saki decides to find Lilica to let her know.

After school, Saki joins Yoriko and Lilica; but as it turns out, Heart wasn't the only one who was too busy to show up. Lilica considers this to be very rude, but it can't be helped so they pay it no mind, leading Saki t ask why it was so important to have this meeting since they already discussed it. Lilica informs the girls about the outdoor bath next to the pool, thinking they should go there instead. But Yoriko brings up that they might be under construction, leading her to express disappointment. She was really hoping to see how well Yoriko and Maori would "*float*", and both girls criticize her dirty mind.

She suggests that the three of them just go to the public indoor bath instead, so that she can check out Saki as well. Yoriko scolds her and Saki refuses.

### Being Honest

A panicked Saki realizes that fifth period is about to begin. She had been so distracted by her book that she didn't notice. She gets up to leave but spots someone under the nearby tree, and to her surprise it's Konoha. Startled, she brings up that fifth period will be starting, but they happen to see Kamui and observe her, leading Saki to suggest that if she has to say anything, she should go and talk to her. As she wonders if something happened, Konoha reveals that she accidentally broke Kamui's rice bowl and she doesn't know how to make it up to her or fix it- so she hasn't had the guts to face her.

She is sure that Kamui wont forgive her if she finds out and starts to cry until Saki calms her down, saying that after being with Kamui for so long, she shouldn't think such things. She can understand *why* Konoha would worry, but she knows their friendship is stronger than that. Saki then asks if Kamui is truly a heartless person when Konoha hesitates- and in this moment she is quick to jump at her defense. She then runs off to apologize while Saki heads to class; only to find out that she arrived late.

### Comeback

Saki, Heart, and Maori have gone to the Aquarium to make up for the shopping trip Heart missed. They observe the fish and penguin and Heart finds herself distracted by the starfish nearby and ends up separating from them. Saki criticizes her and Maori remarks on how Saki is like a big sister to her, then she runs off to catch up.

Saki makes a remark about how careless Heart is, but she's happy seeing her in such high-spirits. She then happens to spot kamui and Konoha there. After she recalls their previous phone conversation she decides to go and visit them to find them discussing sunfish and the edibility behind them, only to hear Kamui scold Konoha for thinking of something silly like catching one of the fish there to try it out. The fish here are to be enjoyed, not hunted. Konoha voices disappointment in this and Saki realizes that Kamui is like a mother to Konoha.

## Various Events

*(These are found in the main Game when selecting a location to head to.)*

### Fiona

She asks Saki what would be so important that she's busy searching for. Saki simply claims she came to do some investigation since it isn't really that much out of her way. She asks Fiona to forgive this "incident" before moving on.

As she is leaving, Reporter Hyoudou is busy commenting on everyone's concern and panic for what has been going on. The crime rate has soared gradually.

### Clarice

She recalls the rumor involving the Celestial Stones. She considers going out to collect them too so that she can make a special wish involving Elsa. Saki wishes her luck, given that they both have the same goal.

### Heart

Heart asks Saki what she is up to, and as Saki comments that she planned to ask her the same thing, she brings up the Celestial Stones. Heart really doesn't seem to know anything about them and asks if it has to do with the high Celestial energy surround them. Saki implies that it is, then tells her that she can't have the stones.

Taking the red stone, Saki comments on fulfilling her wish - but this simply catches Heart's attention and she asks to learn more. She tells Heart that it isn't really her business and takes off.

### Elsa

Elsa is a bit frustrated, as Clarice told her to come and fight Saki for "vengeance" in her earlier defeat. She saw through the silly revenge but believes it to be okay once in a while, so she tells Saki to prepare for a fight. Saki apologizes and begins to say that it is her fault; only to claim this entire ordeal was ridiculous.

### Petra

Petra asks Saki to hand over the Celestial Stone in her possession and suggests that she just forgets all about this. But because she doesn't really know Petra, Saki claims she is asking for a big favor and she refuses to hand over the stone. Petra accuses her of being gullible for believing in the rumors surrounding them but Saki claims it isn't her business and they start to fight for them.

After they fight, Saki tells her that her ideals can't be wavered and she hopes Petra will be more understanding now. She spots her own Celestial Stone and asks to have it in the mean time. Petra agrees but tells her that she will be responsible for it now and takes off.

### Scharlachrot

Saki realizes that something feels off in this location and Sharlachrot explains that Saki is feeling the power behind Drexler's Ultimate Weapon. Suddenly she appears before Saki with three of the Celestial Stones in her possession. She notices that Saki has the last two that she still needs and tells her the plans of obtaining them all to power up the Weapon. She mentions that she is a nobody and desires someone named "Sophie" to stop her. She asks why Sophie isn't there and begins to say how great it would be for the entire world to be destroyed.

Saki refuses to let her get away with such a dire plan however, because of everyone she loves and cares about. A fight breaks out, one that Saki proves to claim victory. She demands to know how to stop the Weapon but Scharlachrot refuses to say anything; feeling that Saki would be unable to by now. She talks of how she wishes for everyone, including herself to die as the Weapon begins to appear from it's holding chamber. Saki refuses to let things go and continues on to fight it by herself in hopes of breaking it down and destroying it.

After she finishes, Ragnarok self-destructs and simply vanishes from existence. Saki feels down knowing that despite her hard work, she's lost all of the Celestial Stones.

### Ending

A few days later, Saki sadly thinks about how she was unable to help Fiona become Human again. They were only being manipulated by the Drexler Institute and she is very frustrated, despite her initial feelings of suspicion from the start. She hears Fiona as she thanks Saki for doing so much for her and claims to be very happy, and Saki wonders why all of her effort was for nothing. Fiona claims that Saki is her friend, no matter how different things are and she always feels encouraged to go on because of Saki.

It's then Angelia and Mildred reveal that the rift will be closing soon, so they need to be going. Saki apologizes for not being able to help her and asks if there is anything she could do for her before she has to leave, but Fiona promises that one day she'll be human again and everything will return to normal soon enough. With that, she leaves.

Saki begins to mourn her friend as she is joined by Heart. She asks to be alone for a while and Heart embraces her in hopes of making her feel better. Saki tries to tell her to leave, but Heart wont listen to her. Heart claims to know how she feels and tells her not to blame herself for working as hard as she could for Fiona's sake. She tells her to be proud of what she's done up until this point and claims to always be there for her when she needs someone. She tells Saki to cry until she can no longer, and Saki slowly breaks down.
