Eas will die.
The message sent by Klein was clear her lifespan had shortened; she only had a few hours left to live.
Love
That was the name that occupied her mind, her friend... no her rival she couldn't afford to let these weak thoughts of hers control her. She had to find Cure Peach and challenge her to one last battle.
Setsuna no Eas was torn up inside every moment she was near Love she could feel something break. What did she feel for the only girl to offer her friendship unconditionally even after she was trying to deceive and destroy her.
Eas knew she was weak she let herself believe she could have friends, that she could be happy, that love liked her. She had to extract every last inch of this disgusting sentimental weakness from herself.
She both despised and adored that girl. Love the endlessly kind girl who made her feel like she wasn't alone for the first time in her life and Cure Peach the girl who dared to oppose her and went against Lord Moebius.
The pain from wielding the Nakisakebe cards was nothing compared to the pain in her heart. Love, envy, hatred, guilt, regret, happiness all of it would be crushed and suppressed within her as now the time was coming.
Eas left the fortune telling house for what she knew would be the last time to search for Cure Peach and fulfill her solemn duty to Lord Moebius before her time was up.
The rain was heavy as she marched to her inevitable last confrontation with Love and her inevitable death. During the fight Eas bared her soul to Peach finally confessing everything she felt to the pink cure.
Eas fell shortly after this battle, Eas was dead but she was fading far before this moment when she became Setsuna and met Love for the first time. Thus Setsuna rose again and became Passion and would be by Love’s side ever since.
