Chapter 159: Arc 4, Act 1, - 4: The Undying Princess
"You psychopath..."
Daiyu turned around with an amused grin, "To be fair, I was really persistent- Jotou," she paused, the smile wiping itself away from her face.
Jotou’s jaw hung open; behind blonde bangs, tears trailed down her cheeks till they dripped down onto the table. Her nose scrunched and her breath got heavier.
Daiyu walked forward along the long table, "Hey-"
She barely got a word out as Jotou leapt to embrace her tightly. The blonde’s arms wrapped around Daiyu as she pushed her face into her shoulder.
"I, thought you were about to punch me for that..." Daiyu smiled, but it faltered. Her brows bent as she sighed—her arms went around Jotou to hug her as well.

"When I first heard your name I couldn’t believe it at all. I’m, so glad you’re here," Daiyu sunk deeper as well. In silence their soft symphony of cries echoed...
Jotou took a deep breath, taking her arms away. She stood back up as Daiyu repositioned herself. The two stared at each other in the empty room, lips curling into a smile.
"...How are you?" Jotou chuckled in sorrow.
"I’m, better; now that you’re here," Daiyu grinned from ear to ear, leading into a light chuckle of her own. "And, how are you?"
