"Hahaha! I'm so happy, you guys! Truly, from the bottom of my heart—thank you!" Aquarina's laughter rang like bells in a quiet temple, full of joy and relief. Her eyes shimmered with tears not with sorrow, but with overwhelming gratitude. "Well done! I couldn't have done this alone."

I'll love you both forever, no matter what paths we walk."
"A-Aquarina…" Silvia's cheeks flushed a soft pink, her smile blooming like a flower in spring. "I love you too, Aquarina!" She threw her arms around her and began peppering her face with kisses, each one a burst of affection. "Mooch, mooch!"
