[Saya is quite obviously confused. She pauses, then takes a small, hesitant step forward.]

Diva?

[Diva looks up at her own twin's voice and smiles.]

Won't you join us, Sister? We're making flower crowns.

[Saya is startled. Her eyes widen as she stares at her sister.]

I-I...

[Is this some sort of trick?]

[hematolagniac]

[This isn't how it's supposed to go; Saya is supposed to take the other girl in her lap, and they're supposed to spend time together pleasantly--as a family.]

Sister?

[hematophagy]

[She glances at the two girls, plainly out of her depth. Is this what they'll look like grown up? Is this what Diva's always dreamed of?]

Are you...?

[hematolagniac]

I'm right here.

[Diva holds her hand out to Saya. One of the girls--the little one in the pink dress, Saya's mirror image--drops her flowers to the ground and walks up to her aunt, smiling.]

[There's a long pause, then Saya smiles almost hopefully and places a hand on the little girl's head.]

[hematolagniac]

[The girl smiles back and takes Saya's hand, leading her over to where Diva and the other girl are sitting on the grass.]

"Will you play with us, Auntie?"

[hematophagy]

I... Of course.

"Mama says we're princesses and you and she are queens, so we're making crowns."

[hematophagy]

[Saya gives in, smiling genuinely.] Will you teach me?
