[She's able to make two spots at the railing of the bridge so that Gojyo can stand right next to her.

Before she can answer his question with a guess about what the show is going to be like, a celebratory explosion bursts in the sky and it becomes a sea of scattered lights and whisps of smoke. The crowd cheers as the fireworks show officially begins and Monts turns her attention upwards, her eyes shining.

There was no doubt that their time here was questionable and foreboding. Jigokucho is a form of hell and they didn't have the freedom to find a way to leave should they desire it.

But in the here and now, Marianna is existing in a colorful world, surrounded by youkai who are in sync with each other's emotions. There is joy, awe, and some flickering hope— Hope that these carefree moments can be found in the near and far future and that their lives here aren't solely defined by the battle of prestige and power that wages above them.

The fireworks burst and bloom one after the other. Monts turns to look at her current companion, admiring how the lights make his blood-red hair gleam and she calls to him over the noise.]

Aren't you glad you kept your word? It's beautiful, isn't it?

[Gojyo was startled at first. Which felt strange because he never thought something as simple as fireworks could throw him off-kilter. Perhaps it was because everything that had happened up to that point left him on edge?

His eyes grew wide as he suddenly turned to look up at the forms as they came to life. It was like they were telling a story. At least, for that fleeting moment, they were stories for the world to see—figures of miraculous youkai amidst ferocious battles and magical splendor dancing along the sky bewilderingly.

He leaned into the railing, admiring the show, if even only briefly. But Monts's words quickly caught his attention, even over all the noise.

Slowly he turned to look towards her, only to capture just the moment another firework went off. The contrasting glow of red and blue light reflected off her tanned skin, making her appear to shine beside him.

Jeez, did he deserve to be here? Indeed a moment like this was too perfect for a guy like him.]

Huh?

O-Oh. Yeah.

--Beautiful.

[Especially reflected in her eyes as they had been.

Damn.]
