Emu and Ophelia are carrying Tougou when Poppy appears out of nowhere to take Tougou away from them. "I knew you could do it, Emu and Ophie-chan!" Poppy is proud to see those two succeed in saving Tougou's life.
"We could've done it without help." Ophelia pointed out weakly. "All it ends well.. apart from injuries." She chuckled weakly. The former goddess is desperate to have a holiday vacation and have time to relax herself.
"Thank you so much." Tougou thanked his saviors.
"I can't wait to see what you do next..." Emu spoke up and looked forward to what kind of game that Tougou needed to develop next. "As a fan of your games, that is."
"I'm not a gamer like Emu here." Ophelia pointed to Emu and he playfully glared at her. "You have a brighter future ahead of you, Tougou-kun."
Akari and the others join in to surround Takeru. "Takeru!" Akari smiles relieved to see him.
"Thank goodness you're safe, Akari." Takeru sighed relieved to see her alive and breathing while Akari smiled back.
"Same goes for you." Makoto spoke up and was relieved to see his friend.
"I believed in you." Alain spoke up as his fate never wavers to Takeru.
Takeru smiles and moves forward, however, he's losing consciousness and collapses in front of them.
Emu and Ophelia saw it as they were heading towards him. Akari kneels to check his condition worriedly. "Takeru?"
"Takeru!"
"Takeru!"
"Takeru-dono!"
"What's happening? Why?"
Emu shoves them. "Excuse me!" and puts his finger to feel his pulse. "There's no pulse."
Ophelia gasped in shock and couldn't feel Takeru's aura. "I-I-I-I-I can't sense his aura, Emu." She informed him and kneeled right next to Emu.
"Can you heal him, Ophelia-sama?" Alain asked the former goddess and remembered Onari informed Ophelia's healing abilities.
"I-we need to regain his pulse back so I can heal him." Ophelia answered truthfully trying her best not to panic in front of them.
"Start chest compression now, Emu." Ophelia ordered him.
"Yes!" Emu begins to do it.
"No..." Akari muttered holding her head. "No...!" She wailed and couldn't stand to lose Takeru again.
"Open your eyes! Takeru-kun!" Emu pleads while doing chest compression.
"Takeru-kun, please! You fulfilled your promise to save Akari-chan's life! Everyone needs you and she needs you!" Ophelia exclaimed.
Onari shook his head. "Just... just stop it, please!" He tried to stop Emu but Ophelia pushed him away.
"No! I know you can hear us Takeru-kun! Everyone is waiting for you to come back to them!" Ophelia cried and placed her hands above Emu's hand. "Keep doing it, we're going to save him!" Her eyes flashed blue and her hands were covered in a light aura.

"Mezame (A song awakes)
Sasou uta o (It beckons and calls)
Hito wa (Spirits heed)
Kokoro de (The ceaseless tune)
Kurikaesu (Deep within their hearts)
Hikari (I wish to shine)
Kie ta sora ni (My love into the skies)
Ai o (From which the light)
Tomosu yo ni (Has left and disappeared)"
Takeru's body is glowing while Ophelia is singing a song. All of them except Emu and Poppy were shocked by what they were seeing right now.
"Owari naki (On a journey)
Tabi no (We're traveling)
Naka de (Without end)
Dare mo mina (Searching far and wide)
Sagashi (For the meaning)
Teru (Of this life)
Kono inochi (Keep searching for)
No imi o (The meaning of this life)"
Takeru silently gasps and feels warm again back in the hospital. 'This warm feeling... I've heard this song again when someone healed me.' He opened his eyes slowly to see Ophelia closing her eyes while singing.
"Sekai wa (A world that sails)
Yasashi fune (A gentle, changing tide)
Yure te (It sways and moves)
Yurare nagara (Towards a new horizon)
Subete (Enveloping)
Tsutsumikon de (Our hopes and our fears)
Dakishimeru (Embracing our hearts)
Arinomama o (Just the way that we are)"
Emu stops to see Takeru regain his consciousness and his wounds are all healed. Ophelia stops and laughs relieved to see he's awakened. "You made us all worried, Takeru-kun." She wipes her tears.
"Guys, I..." Takeru whispered.
Emu helped him sit up. "We won't let you die again..." He didn't want anyone to die in his eyes. "Because Fee-chan and I are doctors and nurses."
"Thank you." Takeru thanked them both. "I'll treasure this new chance at life, that you and Ophelia-san given me..."
"You better or I..." Ophelia sniffed and couldn't stop her tears. "I'm so terrified that my plan won't work! Wah!" She cried and Akari hugged the former goddess.
"Thank you, thank you." Akari thanked Ophelia while comforting her at the same time.
Takeru smiles and is grateful for bringing him back to life.

They all go back to their usual daily lives after dealing with the Pac-Man incident. Ophelia is working back to her hospital and is currently on a break with Sakura.
Ophelia laughs softly as Sakura ranted angrily about her boyfriend. "Mou, this isn't a laughing matter at all! Ophelia!"
"I think he wanted to see your reactions, Sakura." Ophelia pointed out and she rolled her eyes. "I'm sure he didn't mean to rile you up. How long have you guys been together?"
"Nearly 2 years." Sakura answered and Ophelia hummed. "I can ask him if he knows someone single?" She suggested and Ophelia glared at her.
"Not gonna happen." She denied the thought of dating someone who couldn't get over her ex. "Who's the lucky guy?"
"His name is Kujou—" Sakura was cut off by a shriek.
"Nurse Barron!" One of the nurses barges in and looks at her wildly. "Someone is looking for you?"
"Why are you searching for her as if you saw a ghost?" Sakura asked her curiously.
"A handsome-looking guy is waiting for you outside!" She shrieked in joy and shook Ophelia's shoulder. "You're getting more popular these days, Nurse Barron."
"Ohh boy, this outta be good." Sakura commented with a smirk on her face. She couldn't wait to see another usual rejection by her.
Ophelia simply glared at her. "I hate you."
"Love you too, come on! Let's see this guy!" Sakura dragged Ophelia against her own will.
"Wai-wait! Don't I get to say this!?" She yelled while being ignored by them.
————————————————————
"So you're the one who caused a riot." Ophelia gives him a deadpan expression. "Haru-nii, I'll be their main gossip around the hospital." She whined and couldn't believe her older cousin would make a special grand visit.
A special grand visit that everyone assumed she was secretly dating Haruto. Ophelia introduced Sakura to him and mentioned being related as cousins. Sakura knew her family background and she burst out laughing as it was not the first time they had been assumed as lovers.
"The gossip wouldn't disappear and those men will cry to find out you're seeing someone." Sakura teased Ophelia. "You guys are looking good together."
"Don't start, Sakura." She warned her friend and she smirked.
"I'll clear the misinformation and give you guys some space." Sakura salutes at them before leaving.
Haruto chuckled to find out Ophelia had an interesting friend. "You're well-famous at the hospital?"
"Well... they tried to ask me out and I refused." Ophelia answered and looked at him. "Same old no matter where you are."
He smiled and nodded his head. "How are you feeling?"
"Sore after that incident but I'll live." Ophelia answered. "I was surprised to you're one of them, Haru."
"I have a reason for keeping a secret and to ensure you and your parent's safety." Haruto explained and hugged Ophelia. "It relieved me you found out after getting involved. Imagine my surprise you're different from us."
She returned the gesture. "Yeah, we have our reasons to keep our identity secret."
"Does your parents know about this?" He asked curiously knowing Haruka and William were overprotective of her.
"Yeah." They both sit down on the bench. "5 years ago when mom was involved in this new strain virus... I couldn't control my powers. I heal most of them including mom but the consequences—"
"Put you in a coma for 3 months." Haruto cuts her off and won't forget his fear of nearly losing her. The Wizard wouldn't forget the day he received a call from William mentioning Ophelia's comatose and he rushed to the hospital to see her. "It explained why they keep it a secret." He stayed by her side until she was awake.
"Yeah, I promise them not to expose my abilities but I couldn't help it." She chuckled with a sheepish look. "You know me, Haru-kun."
"That I do." He smiled in amusement. "When is your work finished?"
"I finish 5. Why?" She asked him curiously.
"Let's have a dinner. You and I." Haruto suggested and Ophelia smiled at the idea. "I wanted to catch up my dearest Muse." It's been a while since the cousins to spend time together due to their busy lives and wanted to catch up.
"Of course!" The former goddess smiles happily at the thought of spending more time with her cousin.
'Everyone, I met amazing people in my life. No matter what the obstacles we're facing. I know I can rely on them. Things are different without you guys and I hope someday... we can meet again.' Ophelia thoughts and waves Haruto off before going back to work.
