As everyone celebrated, Maria's older sisters and her little brother walked toward her, accompanied by her mother.
"Maria!" Amelia ran to her and hugged her so tightly that Maria would have been squeezed if she weren't as strong.
"Haha, Amelia! Calm down," Maria giggled, patting her head and kissing her forehead. "Thank you for helping so much! And just as we promised, now that the tower is gone, you can live with all of us too—with Little Veronica."
"Yes… I want to live with family," little Veronica said. She stood right there, her form now a more human-like ghostly figure that mimicked her original appearance. "I like Nyx. She's nice."
"Heh, well! I'm glad you two are getting along," Maria giggled, patting her head. "Laura, have you gotten along with Amelia?"
"Yeah, she's fun. She always has something interesting to talk about," Laura laughed, hugging her little sister. "Well done, Maria."
