Kiana: Do you ever wonder what life would be like if you weren't you and I wasn't me?
Mei: You've been reading fanfiction about us again, haven't you?
Kiana: We'd be so cute in a café AU!
Mei: [sighs lovingly] Kiana: I'd order an iced mocha and you'd write your number on the cup with a heart...
Mei: And what would you be in this world? A businesswoman who's too focused on work to make time for love?
Kiana: What about a sports star? I wear a disguise when I visit the café.
Mei: A cute librarian in need of a pick-me-up every afternoon?
Kiana: You just think I look sexy in glasses!
Mei: Guilty.
Kiana: Well, whatever I appear to be on the surface is a fake identity!
Mei: Oh? Plot twist!
Kiana: I'm actually a super spy.
Mei: I'm completely fooled.
Kiana: Tragedy strikes when evil spies come to attack me at the café.
Mei: Oh my, what of the customers?
Kiana: You evacuate them while I hold off the evil Jingwei and her fire force!
Mei: Fu Hua is a villain in this story?
Kiana: Yes, but only because she has amnesia and was manipulated by her evil lover Senti but Senti gets a redemption arc in chapter fifty.
Mei: You really thought this through.
Kiana: Yeah it's all outlined anyway after you evacuate the other customers you run back to join the fight.
Mei: Am I helping you or attacking you?
Kiana: Helping me!
Mei: Oh good.
Kiana: But you help me to gain my trust, because you're a spy who's playing the long game.
Mei: Oho! How clever.
Kiana: But as the story goes on, you fall in love with me for real.
Mei: How could I not fall in love with that cute face?
Kiana: Aw, babe.
Mei: Mwah.
Kiana: Mwah. Anyway, after the Pudding Arc-
Mei: Pudding arc?
Kiana: Aliens put mind control drugs in the pudding supply.
Mei: Ah.
Kiana: Anyway, after the pudding arc, we have a confrontation over our secret identities, we duel, and it ends with us declaring our love for each other.
Mei: Yay, I love a happy ending.
Kiana: Except that's when the chronomancer's spell backfires and resets time back to chapter one!
Mei: Do we remember each other?
Kiana: Nope! But we start to flirt again right away.
Mei: I'll choose you in every timeline.
Kiana: I love you too.
