"Has mother ever told you about Soul Reconstruction?" Venus asked Aeon while she was in the middle of a match; Filia and Squigly vs Eliza.

"I've heard her mention it before. Regretful to say I wasn't really paying too much attention. That was eons ago."

"I see."

"Why do you ask?"

"The Player has conceived it a bit early in this timeline."

"Oh?" Aeon continued motioning the analog around and tapping buttons for inputs.

"Nancy Renoir was able to make contact through her daughters bond with him and ever since he's been trying to reach her. He traced the connection back to her and reunited recently in their time."

Boom! The Nexus gate detonates and a beam of light crashes into the ground before fizzling out to reveal Naya'il jumping up from a crouching stance retracting her wings into nothing and removing her halo with a circular motion from her index finger. Her landing was less graceful than her sisters.

Now that the final angel arrived Aeon paused the game to a "Just a moment!" audio cue. The celestial sisters stand and approach Naya'il.

"Oh, man! That was such a wild trip!" She was brimming with positive energy.
