---: I won't allow that to happen.
A voice not belonging to anyone in the room echoes quietly, and a pale shine from beyond my field of vision erases the red light, preventing my will's eclipse.
Kei: ---!?
Nozomi: Who's there!?
Nozomi-chan's gaze flies in search of the voice's owner, and I am released from paralysis.
---: I am Yumei.
As if that name were the catalyst, the blue darkness that had melted into the spreading moonlight begins to detach.
With the point born there as the center, it sucks in the surrounding light and gathers in density.
The growing, seeping darkness of the room and, floating there, the innumerable shards of moonlight.
As the fragments reach a fixed intensity, at a single point from repose to motion, it shifts its state of being.
It is like flower petals awaiting their peak, then excitedly scattering to the wind.
Like a flock of butterflies launching into the air simultaneously---
And then, the one who lingers within the swarm of butterfly lights is---
Yumei: ---I have taken form to protect Kei-chan. I am your opponent.
Ahh, that person came for me.
That person, in the company of moonlight butterflies.
Rising to their feet with the ringing of bells, Nozomi-chan and Mikage-chan advance forward one step.
Moving between me and that person from my dreams - Yumei-san - to cut off her path.
Mikage: You were the one... from ten years ago.
Nozomi: And so you just decided to show up?
Mikage: Again you hinder us?
Yumei: I will. Step away from Kei-chan.
Nozomi: And if we say "no," what then? I really---
Like a childish bully, Nozomi-chan narrows her eyes dangerously.
