Gannon… 
"Of course I'm here, thanks to you." The Teru smiled at the Reyvateil. "I knew you had it in you, Hikari. And you can keep singing as much as you want. And I'll be right here the entire time. Okay?"

"Gannon," Hikari said, touched by the Teru's words. "Th-thank you. But... I didn't save you. You were the one who saved me and everyone here because I was being so selfish." She hung her head and wiped away her tears. "I'm sorry for acting that way. I'm sorry that I forgot about everyone else's feelings." She sniffled. "There are others, even you, Gannon, who are suffering more than I am right now and yet all I could think of was myself."Rhaplanca smiled at the other Reyvateil. "This was a good lesson, Hikari. Please don't ever forget the people you care most about. To them, you are precious and irreplaceable as well. Just as you don't want to lose them from your own life, they wish just as much to keep you in their own. I had faith that with Gannon's guidance, you would realize that and do the right thing." She turned to the Teru. "Thank you so much for saving everyone.""It's thanks to the both of you that I was able to finally reach my true form. Gannon, because you didn't give up on Hikari. And Hikari, because of your strong wishes to protect Gannon. Please feel free to use me whenever you need to protect the ones you cherish." Solaris waved before disappearing."Now that this world is safe, I will head back to the school and tell the principal the good news." Rhaplanca said, nodding at the both of them. "Thank you for everything," she said with a bow before making her exit.Just then, a beam of light shone from Stone Henge. "...Oh, it's a Paradigm Shift," Hikari said, looking rather downhearted. "I didn't want it to be over yet. I don't want you to go already." She hesitated before speaking again. "Wait... before we go. Gannon..." The Reyvateil paused before shaking her head. "No... Resonance," she said, blushing at speaking his name. "Thank you. And..." She pulled back and fiddled with her fingers shyly before the Teru. "I... just wanted to say that... I..." Hikari hid her blue eyes underneath her golden bangs so the Teru wouldn't be able to see them, but it was bad enough because she knew her face was the color of a cherry. "I think..." Being unable to say anything clearly, she chose to instead stand up on her tip-toes, lean into the Teru, and place a gentle kiss on the side of his right cheek. Pulling back, she managed a smile. "I think I like you..." Hikari clasped her hands together in front of her chest nervously. "I'm sorry. I know it's probably not a good time for you to hear me say this. I mean... we haven't known each other very long... and you have your own things going on." She looked away from the Teru with a slightly pained gaze. "I just... wanted you to know. Because... once we get out into the real world, I won't remember any of this. And... I probably won't even totally realize it yet out there." She laughed nervously. "If it's not too much trouble for you... when we get out to the real world, maybe you could... ask me to sing for you. I... I really love singing. Not just Song Magic. I mean... just to sing. If it can ease your sadness, even a little bit, if it can make you happy, I'd sing for you every night... if you'll let me." She turned around, facing away from the Teru, completely embarrassed by the confession. "A-anyway... Stone Henge! That-a-way! Right!?" She took the Teru's hand and stiffly marched toward the shining stones.
When they reached the Stone Henge, she found another version of Hikari waiting there, dressed in red. Alarmed, she stepped back. "W-wait... why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in a different level?""Ooooh you naughty girl," Dark Hikari teased Songstress Hikari. "Putting the moves on him like that and all." She gestured to their intertwined hands and giggled. Then, to answer her question, she shrugged. "Well, you want him to keep diving right? I'm the same as you. I want him to keep diving. I'm doing everything I can to protect him, since we don't really have a Mind Guardian. After all, there are some that don't want him here. I have to protect him from those meanies."At Dark's comment, Songstress Hikari blushed and let go of his hand. When Dark spoke up about the reason she was there, her embarrassment was quickly forgotten. "Oh, I see. You protected him too?" She frowned. "You mean... there's a part of me that doesn't want Gannon here?" Hikari gazed up at Gannon with an apologetic look."Every Cosmosphere is like that though," Dark explained. "Or so I hear. They're filled with contradictions and different thoughts and feelings of the Reyvateil. So don't feel too bad.""Now I'm scared to go through the Shift," Songstress admitted. "What if I'm really mean to you in the next level?" She bit her lip."He'll have me to back him up, then." Dark answered simply."Oh..." A bright smile appeared on her face. "Who better to trust than myself, right?" She chirped. Hikari turned to Gannon. "Okay... I'm going on ahead, then. I... I can't wait to see you again. Please, come back to see me soon, okay?" She stepped forward and gave Gannon one last heartfelt hug before waving and stepping through the Paradigm Shift.Dark Hikari crossed her arms before the Teru and shot him a smirk. "Wow, you ladykiller you," she whistled at him. "I leave you alone for one level and you've got another of my personalities wrapped around your finger..." She giggled. Then, she turned serious. "Sorry. I was more tired than I thought. That whole business with the missing Level 3 was a real mess. It's probably gonna cause some real problems later, coupled with the virus." She shook her head. "I think we'll be okay for awhile. I did what I could to fix things." She shrugged. "Well, that is... if you actually plan on coming back." She looked at him, eagerly awaiting his answer.

Nereus Everything was dark with the exception of a faint light. A figure stood within the light, motioning to come forward. Nereus was bound to the ground, moving ever so slowly by force. Who...are you and hat do you want from me? He tried to stop his body but even with sheer will power could not stop him from moving. As he got closer to the figure high pitch sound were coming from all direction. It was too much for him and yet his body continue to move forward. As he got closer, Nereus heard the voice of someone familiar and his surrounding began to fade away. The only thing he could see was the figure having a feminine form. Waking up, he found himself in a bed and began to look around in his surroundings. He saw a doctor and a few nurses minding their own business, and who he also saw was Miko with a glimpse of Ina's ponytail. "M...miko." He barely spoke to the Teru.

Gannon…
"Don't worry," Gannon told Dark Hikari. "I'll be back as soon as I can. I can't stop until all of you lovely ladies loves me, right?" The Teru chuckled a bit before turning serious again. "Hopefully things'll start to improve here." He headed toward the light of the Paradigm Shift before pausing. "Oh, and if you see that Priestess, tell her I'll see her soon, too." He smirked before vanishing in the light.

Miko~
"I'm here," she soothed the young man as she glanced over him worriedly. "Just rest and you'll be all right." She bit her lip and looked to the staff. Mana... I need you... She found herself wishing more than anything in that moment that she had her elder sister beside her.

A chuckle escaped Dark when Gannon spoke of the Priestess. "If I see her, I'll be sure to pass on the message." She waited until he disappeared into the light and exited the Cosmosphere completely before a wicked grin appeared on her face. "Though, my dear pawn, I doubt she'll be around long enough to worry about your return... everything is proceeding, just like I planned." With that her chuckle deepened into a maniacal laugh.~Hikari~Cosmosphere Level 4 Completed!Outfit Acquired: Magical Songstress

Gannon…
The Teru sat up in the Dive Pod and looked around. The level was complete, but he was worried that he hadn't done enough for Hikari. He climbed out of the pod and limped over to the Reyvateil's pod. He checked her temp, but she still felt warm. He'd have to wait until she woke up to see if there was any effect from the dive.

"Yay!" The shop keeper cheered. "Success! Congrats!" I am the Light of this World
The Beacon of Hope for Everyone~ Hikari ~
 The Reyvateil felt someone's hand on her cheek and she turned her face into it. Slowly she opened her eyes, only to find them locked with the Teru's. Immediately her cheeks tinted pink. "Gannon... good morning," she greeted him lamely, looking away quickly in an attempt to hide the blush. Then she noticed where they were and remembered her last barely coherent thoughts. "So you did dive..." She murmured, sitting up. She noticed that she still felt slightly feverish but it seemed to be ebbing away slowly since the dive. She found it difficult to look the Teru in the eye after everything that happened. She felt that she needed to talk to him about it, but noticing the young Teru girl there she chose to remain silent, instead slowly making her way to her feet. Upon noticing that Gannon still limped from his injuries, Hikari sighed. "You should have stayed in bed resting up," she softly chided him. Closing her eyes, she chanted Flora's Lullaby for the Teru. "Was yea ra sonwe sos ridalnae manaf yor. [I would be very happy to sing for the sake of your irreplaceable life.]" She opened her eyes and looked him over. "It just isn't enough, is it? Maybe... maybe you need a stronger Reyvateil."
My Song is a Shining Light
Together We Shall All Unify in Radiance The dive shop girl cleared her throat. "Ahem, if I may... true to my word, you started in Level 3, but I dunno what happened cuz you seemed to skip to Level 4 without completing 3, so I'm just gonna shake my head and agree that you entered in at Level 3. 150 Leaf, please!""Level... 3? Level 4?" Hikari found herself frowning and looking to the Teru. "What does that mean?" She asked. "Wait... maybe I shouldn't ask..."

Gannon…
The Reyvateil's song strengthened the Teru. "Oh, believe me, you're plenty strong. Here." He offered his hand to Hikari to help her out of the pod. "But, how are you feeling? I think we made some good progress, but do we need to go in again? I can if you're feeling up to it."

The Reyvateil smiled shyly up at Gannon. "I'm doing okay, I think." Her eyes dropped to her feet and she bashfully clasped her hands behind her back and shuffled her feet. "Though... I wouldn't mind if you wanted to dive again..." Suddenly, she took a step back and shook her head. "I mean, never mind! I know we don't have time for that... I should thank you, and let you go now. I'm sorry I was such a burden but I'll be okay from now on. I mean, you finally found your wife and all, so I'm sure that you'll want to return to her. I don't understand why she's so angry... but I'm sure that if anyone can calm her down it's you." She turned away so the Teru wouldn't be able to see how upset she was. The young Teru was standing before her. "U-um... I don't have any money on me... but if you need I'll stay and work it off."

Gannon…
"Wait...What?" It was the second time that a version of Hikari had talked about his "Wife". "Looks like we gotta get somethin' straight. I know what ya heard, but I ain't married. When we got some time, I'll explain everything to ya. I promise. K?" The Teru pulled out his money pouch, someone surprised with how light it was. Apparently he'd have to "work" soon. But there was more than enough to cover the charge. "Here ya go." He set two 100 leaf coins in the counter. "Keep the change."

"Okay, well Kiddies, come again if ya change your mind!" She winked the two of them before going into the back of the shop to work on something.I am the Light of this World
The Beacon of Hope for Everyone~ Hikari ~
She bit her lip, upset with how things were going. Hikari doubted that she'd be travelling with him for much longer, and she was growing angry with herself for the sadness she was feeling with that knowledge.
She shook her head. "It was a mistake," she murmured. I shouldn't have let him dive. I was too weak. And now I'm going to pay for it in the end. She sighed in defeat. "Fine, whatever. I don't care anymore." It was obvious in her tone that she did care and that drove her mood even further downward. The Reyvateil tried changing the subject. "Where do we go? I wonder how the others are, too. Aaron... and... Zek.. I'm sorry, Gannon. But..." She turned back to the Teru with tears starting down her cheeks. "Even knowing that she could be someone you care about... I won't ever be able to forgive that woman for what she's done! She killed Zek!" Hikari sniffled. "And... and... Aaron, if he dies..." The Reyvateil wiped her tears away, attempting to at least appear composed. "I can't be so weak anymore. I got scared in the fight and stopped singing. Rhaplanca... she had to carry the Song by herself. I had no excuse. I'm so pathetic. I'm always scared of everything. I wish... I wish I didn't have any emotions. Then I wouldn't be afraid. I wouldn't feel sadness. I wouldn't have to feel anything!" She smiled humorlessly. "Maybe the nightmares would stop too. I just... want to become stronger. That way I'm not sick all the time and a burden to everyone else."My Song is a Shining Light

Nereus Nereus close his eyes as he spoke. "H-how di..." He cough a bit before continuing. "did...I-I get here..." As he spoke, he notice that his mask was missing. "W-where is...is it? Where....is m-my mask?" With his eyes still close, Nereus tried to recall what happen to him. All I can remember is being on the ground from the same high pitch sound. Was it that intense that it made me come to this place? Can't be since I still had my mask. maybe I was fighting someone, but who?

Miko~
"Oh, thank the Goddess!" Miko breathed. "No, it's okay, don't try too hard to remember anything! Just focus on getting better, all right?" She smiled and pulled out her flute, casting her healing wind spell on him to try to relieve anything she could.
