Short summary: Shiori thinks about her life being better than a dream as she enjoys one last day of their short honeymoon.
Soaking in the hot bath, looking out the view, at the evening sky with Mt. Fuji highlighted in red, and it’s with her own eyes. It’s not something on TV. It’s her reality.
Her life right now feels like a dream.
Yet the truth is, her life before, when she should have died but instead merged with the twilight apostle, and her life right now, continuing on as her own person…both of them are real.
Same as the hand holding her hand, the shoulder brushing her shoulder, the lips that touch her cheek… The truth feels like a dream, but even better. Because in her real life, she has freedom, she has love.
She has Asuka by her side.
“Are you ready to head back to our room?” Asuka asks quietly, her breath tickling Shiori’s ear.
Shiori nods. After a long walk around the lake they had enjoyed dinner and a bath with a view, and now it is time for their last act of the day.
“Yes, let’s go.”
They shower and put on their robes. They walk back to the room slowly, hand in hand. There are still a few hours left in the day. They enter the room, settle on the futon, press their mouths together. They take it slow. They enjoy themselves fully.
Tomorrow they’ll have to head back to Morimiya, but it’ll be fine. After all, their matching rings mean they have each other for the rest of their lives, right?
Reality really is better than a dream…
