manami then went onto instagod, scrolling through all the pictures of her family and friends. she'd be lying if she said she didn't miss them.

living in hell was great and all, but it was hard finding things to do, as shigaraki and the rest always had work to do.

manami thought about having her own photoshoot in hell while exploring it. after all, she only got to see part of hell and not all of it.

manami quickly hopped off her bed and changed into a light green dress. she usually didn't wear shoes, so she ran around barefoot.

manami took her phone and sneakily went out her room. sometimes, when she gets very excited or sad, flowers start sprouting with every step she takes. but of course in a few hours they'll disappear by themselves.

"manami, what are you doing?", dabi suddenly asked, making manami jump out of her skin.

"o-oh hey dabi!! I'm exploring ya know?", manami smiled.

dabi cocked an eyebrow at the girl and scoffed. he didn't particularly care as he still had a pile of paperwork that shigaraki had assigned him.

"alright. have fun I guess. see you at dinner", dabi said, waving and walking away.

"see ya!!"

manami then continued skipping around. at one point, she made so many left turns that she ended up seeing a swamp.

"shrek??", she muttered to herself.

next to the swamp was a small wooden house. it was quite worn out and almost seemed abandoned. out of curiosity, manami entered after knocking on the door and not receiving an answer.

"hello??", she called out.

suddenly with a clap of someone's hands, candles were lit all over the room and three old women appeared before manami.

"oh hi!! may I ask for the name of you three??", manami kindly smiled.

"why little one, we're the three fates! I'm clotho (spinner), that's lachesis (allotter), and she's atropos (inflexible)", clotho introduced.

"oh! nice to meet you all! I'm manami ko—"

"manami kore. persephone, the daughter of zeus and demeter", lachesis interrupted.

"wow. yes indeed!" manami was amazed. it was almost like fortune telling. but what even amazed her more was that the three sisters shared one eye and one set of teeth.

atropos stole the set of teeth from lachesis and started speaking next.

"say, would you like for your fortune to be told?"

"oh, you guys can do that?? should I pay you guys? or bring y'all some bread??", manami offered.

the set of teeth was suddenly snatched out of atropos's mouth and put back into clotho's. she also had the eye so that she could foreshadow persephone's future better.

"persephone, persephone,
goddess of grain.
from what we see,
you'll be the cause of hades' bane.
gone with another,
almost back to your father (clotho).

until you marry,
at the beginning of february.
at the chimes of the bell,
you'll become the first queen of hell (lachesis).

many trouble will come your way,
but do not fear as they aren't here to stay.
love with your heart, trust with your soul,
you'll be a perfect queen, the perfect role (atropos)".

manami was dazed. she didn't understand a word that was said minus the marrying part. she was about to ask what everything meant until the three women disappeared, leaving manami in the wooden house alone.

manami walked out, seeing the swamp and some nymphs that were happily dancing and laying there. she smiled as she walked away, continuing on her journey.

➽───────────────❥ ➽───────────────❥

"do you think she'll be okay?", atropos asked.

"mphhjhhhsbsks!!"

atropos just rolled her eyes as she stuck the set of teeth into clotho's mouth.

"she'll be fine. pirithous and theseus won't even make it out here", clotho smiled.

all three sisters were excited, as they knew a new victim was about to appear.
