Alice :  Sis...
Alice :  Where are you, Sis. [lost footing on the steps]
Mum :  Alice, what are you doing?
Alice :  Mum, Sis... Did Sis came down the stairs?
Mum :  No, what's wrong? What's wrong with Mayura?
Alice :  [shocked when she heard that Mayura didn't come down the stairs at all]

[Flashback] Alice :  This kind of Sis, I hate... Disappear!
Alice :  [holding tight onto plushie Nyozeka] That---
Nyozeka :  Unbearable...
Alice :  (Sis!?)
Mayura :  .....

Mayura :  .....? What is this place?
Mayura :  [suddenly clutched her hands to her chest when she heard someone say "Disappear!"]
Voice :  (This kind of Sis, I hate.)
Mayura :  It hurts... ...chest... ...who... ...

Mayura :  .....?
Mayura :  ... a light... ...
Kyou :  That's a heavy rain!

Yuuki :  Let's make a bet, if there will be any customers! If I win... ...
Maki :  There won't be any pockey money for you this month.
Kyou :  ......
Kyou :  It's better if we close the shop for the day...
Kyou :  .....?

Kyou :  Mayura?
Mayura :  Kyou!
Kyou :  Hey...hey...
Mayura :  Thank god! That light... it was Kyou!
Kyou :  Light?
Maki :  It's not the short-haired girl from the other day, it's another one! Ha!
Yuuki :  Haha! Kyou's not that bad huh!
Mayura :  That place was so dark, makes me feel terrible!

Kyou :  That place?
Mayura :  I don't know... Alice she... why did she do that...
Kyou :  Mayura, calm down!
Mayura :  [hugging Kyou tightly for comfort]
Kyou :  It's alright now, Mayura.
Kyou :  Because, it's nothing now!
Maki :  [slams Yuuki's head onto the counter top]

Kyou :  You quarreled with Seno?
Mayura :  ......
Kyou :  Was it because of...me?
Mayura :  Huh?
Kyou :  You're right, I've already started dating with you...
Kyou :  Today with Seno... Your sister's incident, I shouldn't be so worried for her.
Kyou :  Sorry.
Mayura :  ......

Mayura :  Kyou...
Mayura :  Just now... It was the first time I let someone hug me so tight...
Mayura :  I want to feel more at ease.
Mayura :  Kiss me.

Nyozeka :  Alice, are you alright!
[Flashback] Alice :  "Disappear!" (What shall I do... Was all this my fault?)
Alice :  (Where did you go, Sis!)
Nyozeka :  Alice...
Nyozeka :  I think that Mayura...
Alice :  Gasp!
Nyozeka :  Is confused...

Alice :  (She might have went to Senpai's place...)
Mayura :  Why won't you kiss me?
Kyou :  Mayura... ... [hesitating]
Kyou :  You had a shock, better rest a little more to calm down... ...

Mayura :  Kyou, don't you like me?
Kyou :  Don't talk about all this. You're just...
Mayura :  "Just" what?
Mayura :  Kyou, you refused to admit your true feelings... I want you to prove it to me straight from your heart!
Mayura :  Make it clear! I want to know the true Kyou, if not I don't want a lover like this!
Kyou :  I don't know. Mayura.

Kyou :  Why do I say this?
Kyou :  I don't know... how to react exactly---
Kyou :  Huh!
Kyou :  Seno!
Mayura :  I purposely let Alice... see this...

Alice :  ...!?
Alice :  Sis? Senpai, you're with Sis together now!

Kyou :  She...disappeared... ...?
Alice :  Sis... Sis... [fainted when she heard what Kyou said]

Kyou :  SENO!
Alice :  (...fog?)
Alice :  (What's this place? I feel so heavy...)
Alice :  (My leg can't seem to move forward. Hurry... Have to hurry and find Sis...)

Alice :  Sis!! [saw Mayura running in the distance]
Alice :  (Sis wit for me.)
Alice :  Sis...

Nyozeka :  Feel... so terrible...
Alice :  Nyozeka? What are you doing!
Nyozeka :  It was you who grabbed my face.
Alice :  !
Nyozeka :  You had a fever, and it was serious, and you slept for two days.
Alice :  Sis...!!
Nyozeka :  Ah! Don't be like this, your fever...
Nyozeka :  Alice, go back to bed...
Mum :  I beg you to send someone out to search, dear!

Mum :  She hasn't came home for two days.
Dad :  Calm down, dear!
Dad :  Kids nowadays are always not at home, you don't find kids who will happily stay at home.
Mum :  Mayura isn't that sort of kid!
Mum :  Although she is serious, doesn't need any discipline at all... but aren't you worried?
Dad :  Don't be like this, just calm down...
Nyozeka :  Kyou had also searched for her since that night.
Alice :  Ah?
Nyozeka :  I was also searching in my dream... it was dark and suffocating, fog was everywhere... ...

Nyozeka :  She is really trapped in that place...
Nyozeka :  Alice, you can't find Mayura from here.
Alice :  Huh...!!
Nyozeka :  Mayura might have went into "the darkness of her inner heart".
Nyozeka :  "The power of the words of darkness" which you had said at that moment affected her.
Alice :  Uh...
Nyozeka :  Alice, listen carefully... "words" have unparalleled powers.
Nyozeka :  It can save a person... and it can also kill a person.

Nyozeka :  Words have emotions, and your words are stronger than anyone else...
[Flashback] Alice :  "Dislike"! "Disappear"! (I... ...)
Alice :  That incident... But... this can't be true... ... [starts to cry]
Nyozeka :  There's only one way to find your Sis back.
Nyozeka :  And that is to use the "Lotis".

Nyozeka :  You're the "Lotis Master" whom I have chosen.
Nyozeka :  When you have learned to grasp the meaning of the "Lotis", you'll be able to find Mayura
Alice :  But... But I don't know... what to do!
Nyozeka :  I'll teach you, but whether Mayura is able to return will depends on her own will.
Nyozeka :  Morever you don't have any strength! You should rest to recover quickly, Alice.
Alice :  (Sis...)

Alice :  (I'm sorry, sorry... ...)
Student :  Have you heard about Mayura Seno?
Student :  Of course! Of course I heard about it!
Student :  She's missing? Hurry and help in the search...
Student :  Wakamiya doesn't seem to have any reaction.
Student :  But...
Student :  Ah! Quiet.
Alice :  (Everyone... already knew about it...)
Nyozeka :  (Alice seemed to mind...)
Kyou :  SENO

Kyou :  Are you alright?
Alice :  Senpai...
Kyou :  ......
Kyou :  Sorry...
Kyou :  Mayura's disappearance, it's my...
Matsujou :  Mayura senpai's disappearance, it wasn't really your fault?
Matsujou :  Mayura senpai is so pitiful, am I right! You are way too close!
Alice :  Matsujou...

Kyou :  What are you saying?
Matsujou :  I'm talking about Seno and me dating!
Matsujou :  Why did senpai have to interfere, what motive do you have?
Voice :  "So disgusting!"
Voice :  "Wakamiya acted like a popular person."
Voice :  "What? Love triangle?"
Voice :  "It's possible!"
Voice :  "Wakamiya sure know how to act like a nice person..."
Voice :  "That sister is lousy!"
Voice :  "No wonder Mayura Seno ran away from home!"

Voice :  "She won't be coming back anymore!"
Alice :  Um...
Kyou :  Seno?
Alice :  (All these hurtful words... ... ...)
Alice :  (Shut up.)
Kyou :  What's wrong?
Alice :  It's so terrible...
Nyozeka :  (No, Alice, you'll definitely fall prey to the "Words of Darkness"!)
