[ Hansa, Emet-Selch, Hilda, and Alyssa will find themselves back in the village. Neither Kaiza nor Hishi is there with them... but before anyone panics over the latter, they will sense that time has passed.
Graduation approaches, as does the time when the four's duties will come to an end. They're invited, even Hansa who is no longer banned—or rather, he never was! What would he have been banned from the premises for, after all?
Ohmi and Hishi are at the top of the class, with Riu trailing behind. Still, even as second-best, everyone is excited to see what she can achieve alongside Ohmi, as the two plan to take up leadership positions in the village. Some people are a bit worried about their combined people skills, but they'll have to make do. The two have improved since childhood, at least, although they can't quite remember why?
Meanwhile, Hishi is the genius of the village, hailed for returning with the treasure from the northern ruins. Hansa and co.'s efforts are also very much appreciated. No longer will anyone have to live in fear of the beast, and maybe the kidnappings will stop now.
Also, Hishi receives a letter from her parents, letting her know they're well. See, they're alive!
And so, life goes on.
Hilda and Alyssa will sometimes catch Hishi staring at a bracelet on her wrist. She made it, she recalls, but how odd—she's never felt the need to make anything for herself. And when the time comes to part, she'll ask Hilda and Alyssa for a final hug. For some reason, saying goodbye to them is harder than she had imagined, and she can't explain this void in her heart.
In their home, Hansa and Emet-Selch will find a note (or rather, they'll have to retrieve it from Treasure, before he can swallow it).
Can't stay long, think Treasure is afraid of me. Honestly, I wish I could graduate, after how hard I worked to not fail, but it looks like everyone's memories of me have already slipped away. I don't know if you'll still remember, so maybe this is just the ramblings of some psycho to you, but I wanted to say this again.
It was a good ten years, and I owe a lot of it to you two. Thank you. - Kaiza
If Hansa, Hilda, Emet-Selch, and Alyssa meet up and go over what was in the container left for them, they will find (and, instinctively, know the purpose of):
β’ What looks to be a printed report. β’ A pill. If ingested on Thursday night, the user will fall into a state of pseudo-death, indecipherable from the real thing. They will revive again on Saturday night. One use only. β’ A wiretap. If placed on someone, it will become invisible. OOCly, the user will learn the contents of a random PC the target has on the day the wiretap is ICly placed. One use only.
Furthermore:
β’ The red bracelet Kaiza crafted and the green bracelet Hishi crafted? The two wielders can send a telepathic message to the other once per week. If the other person is indisposed at the time, they may receive it once they're available again, though the message might get scrambled.
Also, if they so wish, they may keep Kaiza's note and the drawings Kaiza and Hishi made, as well as their cats.

But now, it's time to leave. ]
