EX — Nubila
Three weeks and a day had passed since the storm in Yui’s soul was quelled. The doors to New Eden opened unceremoniously. An equally unassuming figure walked through the door. She was a taller woman with unnaturally long, blonde hair. A pale lavender coat hung on her shoulders, and her hands were stuffed in her…

25 — The Final Intervention (pt. 3)
About ten minutes after Yui made it to Il Teatro, she realized something. A taunt she forgot to leave for Shinju, perhaps, or something to hint that she would be somewhere where nothing of value would be lost in combat. Yui: {Dunno where you are, or where you got to, but if you’re lookin’ for…

24 — The Final Intervention (pt. 2)
Shinju jolts awake, nearly slipping off the couch where she’d been napping. She pounds the cushions and jumps to her feet, gathering up her coat and shoes and making a beeline for the door. Kohaku, apparently hearing the commotion, emerges from her room. Kohaku: What’s gotten into you? Shinju: (She continues putting on her shoes,…

23 — The Final Intervention (pt. 1)
Yui didn’t waste even a second. Shocked awake, she stood, shaking the effects of the medicine she took free, stood, and in a flash, transformed in the doorway, walking to the entrance. She didn’t notice anyone in her way, nor waiting for her. Her vision was completely tunneled. Just outside the door, Seia is preparing…

22 — Intervention (Shinju’s version)
Shinju exits the Dreamscape library, nearly slamming its door behind her. She quickly drops her smiling façade. She’d heard what Yui had said to Niko. Shinju crosses through the library’s imaginary front courtyard without paying attention to its decorations. Rabbits and decidedly out-of-their-natural-habitat chinchillas frolic through its well-kept grasses, flower bushes, and fruit trees. Shinju…

21 — Intervention (Hanako’s version)
New Eden. A building that symbolizes an oasis of hope for Magical Girls in Mitakihara. The place that, on conception and in theory, is where the fledglings conned by the Incubators can flock to get aid and training before making it on their own. On conception and in theory. But over the last three months,…

20 — Cold Little Heart (pt. 2)
On an otherwise quiet Wednesday, a girl shows up at New Eden for healing after-hours on an off-day. It’s her second time this week, far sooner than most Puellae need. Aoi comes to the front door, having expected her arrival from a text message. Aoi lets her in, a relatively tall but mousy-looking girl, with…

19 — Closure
Niko has made a decision — a decision that is, frankly, the least of her worries. Between managing the Dreamscape, dealing with Arashi’s attitude and having to convince her father and friends how meaningful her last decision was, she has more important choices to consider. While her classmates are now saying good-bye to the juniors…

18 — Intervention (Alice’s version)
With a slightly clammy hand, Hikaru Tada grasps the handle of the large switch next to a fuse box on the wall. Most of the other volunteers at The Smile are packed into the maintenance room along with him, like sardines in a tin — a good dozen pairs of prying eyes staring daggers into…

17 — Swing (In A Dream)
It didn’t take Yui long to find herself back in the Library in the center of the Dreamscape. She could have looked in one book or another, but the last time she did, she got frustrated by more gibberish regarding The Path. Not in the mood and on limited time, she tried once more to…
