All she wanted was to disappear.
But her newfound friends wanted to save her. They wanted Sumire, not a clone of the sister she had killed.
Crouching down, she stared into the depths of the water underneath the bridge she was on.
Deep… it was very deep.
Even with all the good things that have happened recently…
From bonding with the Phantom Thieves to visiting LeBlanc to see her Senpai's warm smile…
Good things must eventually come to an end, I suppose.
Her heart was pounding.
I…
Just in time, she caught some of her tears before they could fall.
"Kasumi…" As soon as the name spilled out into the open air, she started to sob uncontrollably.
Love… She had loved her. And yet, she had killed her. Why hadn't she been the one to die instead? It wasn't fair.
"Maybe… I can make this right. I'll make it up to you, Kasumi. Promise."
No one else was on the bridge with her. In fact, there was not a single soul nearby.
Of course there wasn't.
Picking herself up, she stood to full height.
Quietly, she stretched. It was part reflex, part preparation.
Rarely does such a perfect opportunity arise. It was now or never.
Sumire took a breath.
Then, she took a step forward.
Up to this moment, she had been living a life she was not proud of. Hopefully Kasumi would be proud of her now.
"Very good, sis! You were able to make a big decision all by yourself! I'm so proud of you! Let's be together now, okay?"
What a beautiful light… She couldn't wait to see her sister again.

"You guys… have any of you seen Sumire recently? She hasn't texted the group chat in a while, and she's not returning my calls."
"Zero chance something bad happened. She's a strong girl, stronger than she thinks. Let's go look for her. We'll find her in no time, I'm sure."
