[ Mayari Smiled At Hazel As Her Hair And Eyes Faintly Glowing White And Blue.]

"Hmmm......let me think... Maybe we'll start with Ozzie? Or maybe Luciano and Tian, since they're always together...."

[ Mayari furrowed her brows in contemplation, unsure on who to check on first. ]

"What about you, Hazel? Do you have any suggestions?"

"Umm...hi, Hazel, it's Mayari. Are you okay?"

-🌙🪼

[ Hazel looked up at Mayari, nodding. ]

“ … A… ah, yes, Ms. Sadelle. I’m doing well for the time being… though, the previous few events have been… staggering, to say the least. I sincerely apologize for not being more helpful during the class trial, I’m… not very experienced when it comes to… events like this.

…That doesn’t matter. How are you doing, Ms. Sadelle? Do you have anything else you wish to talk to me about? “

[ She tilted her head to the side, waiting. ]

I wanna punch my past self for ever thinking that it was that easy to say goodbye to the characters 😡😢

Me in Chapter 1 to all of the characters, even to the one I like the most (*cough**cough* 🐍*cough**cough*) on December 20

Now, if you excuse me, I'm gonna go cry in the corner....... for reasons....

"Ok, maybe I might help you with that."

[ She smiles back. ]

To Mayari,

"Uh, hi, Allie was rambling alot about you to me and begged me to start a conversation with you. She was rambling on and whatnot about how you and I would get along really well or something? Oh Lord, where are my manners... I am Oliver Noiralle, I do Fashion Design, pleased to meet you."

@the-feathered-fashionista

[ Mayari's hair glows into white, while her eyes glow into white and blue separately due to the surprise of this. ]

"Oh, you're one of Allie's friends?"

Oh no, how am I gonna introduce myself without scaring her friend off with my talent? But since Allie told him about me, I should be fine, right???

"I-I'm Mayari. Mayari Sadélle.

I'm the..... The Ultimate Test Subject.

Nice to meet you, too."

Valentine's Day aftermath 💌🌙🪼

"Whew, that was a heck of a party. Good thing that it wasn't that chaotic in a bad way......Hm?"

As Mayari walked into the room after the party, she spotted the two items that weren't on her table before leaving her dorm room, a letter that's addressed to her and a very familiar flower.

"Is this...... a Lunar Tear? And here I thought I'd never see one again... But then again, the gachapon managed to have a lot more unusual things than this..."

She picked up the Lunar Tear and gently caressed it with a small smile and glanced over the letter. Wondering what the contents are, she reached out to the letter and opened it. And it read:

"To my dear classmate, Mayari

To my friend, Mayari

Mayari, by the time you read this, you've probably made it back safely from the party. I thought of giving you this note and the....."Lunar Tear", I believe it's called? because someone told me that whenever you were offered gifts by those who you gifted, you'd try to insist that you don't deserve to have them. So, I figured leaving these two items in your dorm room without you noticing would be the best option. Until you find out who sent you this letter and flower, I hope you'll hold onto them and understand that you DO deserve to have precious things as much as you give that to others. If you don't believe it, then..... just don't do anything that's reckless and stupid, alright?"

Just as the letter said, there was no name of the sender. Mayari's eyebrows furrowed in thought. How did this person know about the Lunar Tear? Was this gift a prank or something they'd lose a bet on? What is their real goal of doing this? Countless questions flowed into her mind before she shook her head. Nevermind, she should probably save those thoughts for another day. For now, she should wash up and rest. As she placed back the letter and the Lunar Tear, she thought out loud of the words that stood out the most and gave out a wry smile to herself,

"I deserve to have precious things as much as I give others that, huh?"

[ Surprised by her friend bursting into tears, Mayari panicked while her hair glowed into white and her eyes blue, thinking that she might've offended her on accident. But when Hazel said that her gift was perfect, she stopped and gave her a small smile, one of her eyes turning into glowing white. ]

".....I'm glad."

[ She gave Hazel a gentle hug, slowly making small circles on her back, and said the words that the assistant needed to hear. ]

"Happy Birthday, Hazel."

"Hi Hazel! It's Mayari. Your birthday's on the 20th, right? I made something for you..... I know it isn't much, but I wanted to give you something."

[ She hands you a jar filled with colored paper stars. ]

“ … Huh, Mi… I mean, Mayari, what do you…? ”

[ She eyes the jar and looks up at Mayari, now fully processing the words spoken. ] “ … Oh… It’s my birthday today… My birthday… today…? “ “ … The 20th… April 20th… That’s right… “

[ They look down at the ground slightly. ]

“ My apologies, I appear to have forgotten… “ [ She gingerly takes the paper-star filled jar from Mayari, holding it in her hands as if it’d be taken away if she ever let go or let her eyes off of it for even a moment. ] [ It’d been… too long, truly, too long since she’d remembered a birthday of hers. How long had it been…? Three years…? Four years…? It was a miserable haze of time she’d failed to recollect, and she let her focus back on the gift. ]

[ How… how long had Mayari spent making all of these stars, just for her birthday? They were only mimics of stars, much like her hairclips, never truly reminiscent of the lights above. But… they had love and care crafted into them. How long had it been since she’s felt that? ]

[ Now she’s holding space in her hands, the stars in her eyes, and it’s hers, all hers, nobody else’s but hers. Her love, and it’s all for her to keep, never to give away. ] [ They’d always thought they could never touch the stars, after all the sacrifice. Ever since the tiger convinced her to stay. Even with all of her dreams… They were always nothing more than dreams. But… maybe, even if she couldn’t fully change… Maybe she could touch the stars, she could at least try to stay strong. ]

[ She didn’t realize it, but she was crying. Tears fell from her eyes and clouded her vision, but she didn’t wipe it away and hide… She just stayed like that, a small smile creeping up on her face. ] [ Even with all the money she could use, all the money she could buy gifts and food and hell, even businesses with… She was swarmed with a feeling she couldn’t buy before. ]

[ Happiness. ] ” … No, no, Mayari. This is… this is enough. This is more than enough. Thank you… thank you so, so much. I… I don’t know how… How I can re… “ [ She sniffs, voice becoming high-pitched and wavering. ] “ … I don’t know how I can repay you. This is… Perfect. “

“ …It’s perfect. Thank you…. “

Live reaction to [Slipping]

"Well, it's true that we could run into someone while we're exploring around the academy, and that would hit two birds with one stone....."

[ Mayari then smiled excitedly. Her hair glowed white with blue streaks, but this time, both of her eyes glowed into white ]

"Alright, Luciano and Tian, it is!

Let's go, Hazel!"

[ She then grabbed Hazel's hand and pulled along with her ]

"Umm...hi, Hazel, it's Mayari. Are you okay?"

-🌙🪼

[ Hazel looked up at Mayari, nodding. ]

“ … A… ah, yes, Ms. Sadelle. I’m doing well for the time being… though, the previous few events have been… staggering, to say the least. I sincerely apologize for not being more helpful during the class trial, I’m… not very experienced when it comes to… events like this.

…That doesn’t matter. How are you doing, Ms. Sadelle? Do you have anything else you wish to talk to me about? “

[ She tilted her head to the side, waiting. ]
