Fragments Of The Past

As they gather for breakfast, Mayu, Raiden, and Ren exchange playful smiles, their hearts still filled with the enchantment of the previous night under the full moon. They share a lighthearted camaraderie, but their peace is quickly interrupted by Riyu's curious inquiry.

"Hey, were you guys being all flirty and touchy last night?" Riyu asks with an innocent yet mischievous glint in her eyes.

Mayu nearly chokes on her cereal, caught off guard by the unexpected question from the young girl. She casts a quick glance at Raiden, who's trying to hide a chuckle, and then her gaze lands on Ren, who appears to be suppressing a smile behind her hand.

Raiden points playfully at Ren, "Blame it on her. She's the real mastermind of romantic atmospheres."

Ren feigns innocence, her eyes wide as she places a hand over her heart. "Oh, me? I'm just an innocent observer. You two seemed to be having such a lovely moment under the moonlight."

Mayu tries to regain her composure, realizing that Riyu must have overheard their conversation earlier. "Well, it was a beautiful night, and we were just enjoying the moon and each other's company."

Riyu nods with an exaggerated understanding. "Mm-hmm, sure sure. It's nice to see you both so close."

Raiden winks at Mayu, his playful spirit fully on display. "We're a team, after all. We stand together in moonlit moments and breakfast conversations alike."

Mayu can't help but smile at Raiden's remark, feeling a warmth spread through her. Riyu's innocent curiosity might have thrown them for a loop, but it's a reminder of the bonds they share, the laughter they can find in the midst of serious situations, and the joy that comes from being surrounded by friends, no matter their age.

As they continue breakfast with Riyu's playful energy brightening the room, Mayu realizes that the mix of seriousness and lightheartedness is what makes their group special. They're not just allies; they're a quirky, supportive family ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead, with a good dose of laughter to keep them going.

As they wrap up breakfast, Morty approaches Mayu with a thoughtful expression. "Mayu, I couldn't help but notice that last night was quite special for you and Raiden. How are you feeling?"

Mayu, caught off guard by the directness of Morty's question, quickly composes herself. She puts on a smile, hoping to downplay the significance of the evening. "Oh, you know, Morty, it was a lovely night under the moon, and we had a good time. But there's still a lot to focus on, and our mission is the priority."

Morty nods, seemingly accepting her response but not entirely convinced. "Of course, the mission comes first. Just remember, it's essential to find moments of connection and happiness amidst the challenges we face. It gives us strength."

Mayu appreciates Morty's wisdom, and she knows he has her best interests at heart. "You're right, Morty. I'll keep that in mind. We'll stay strong, together."

With a reassuring pat on her shoulder, Morty gives her a warm smile. "That's the spirit, Mayu. Now, let's focus on our next steps. The city still needs our help, and there's much to uncover."

As they dive back into the planning and preparation for their mission, Mayu can't help but wonder about the truth of her feelings. The night under the full moon with Raiden was indeed special, and the bond between them had deepened. But amidst the chaos and darkness, she finds herself prioritizing their shared purpose.

The connection she feels with Raiden is a source of strength, but it's also a reminder of the responsibilities they carry. Mayu knows that as they face the challenges ahead, her feelings and those precious moments will continue to be a driving force, even if she covers them up to protect herself and the mission.
