[ When you insert the key and open the door, you'll find inside the room looks small, cramped, just one living space without any doors—you can hear noises of the bustling life outside, as well as other people beyond the thin walls. the space bends on the walls, and a basket sits on the table in the center of this studio room with a blanket folded into it.

Inside, a baby stirs restlessly - you hope she goes back to sleep soon, and you play your flute in hopes of lulling her back to sleep. Unfortunately, a sharp knock sounds from the ceiling - the tenants upstairs don't like what you're doing. You take a more drastic measure, singing softly to your baby as you rock the basket back and forth and hope the tenants don't complain again. ]

-

[ Slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby cries, and in turn, the upstairs tenants knock at your ceiling again; she finds her way to your flute, tooting happily though no noise comes out; a little toddler, she becomes attached to a stray cat; you decline her request, and she storms out to run away for a little while as you regret; she returns, covered in cat hair and ignores everything you say; then the wall becomes opaque. ]

[ In the corner of the room, a young girl the age of 10 crouches, looking away from you. she holds a cat in her arms, petting the creature constantly.

You wish you could have done better for your baby girl. But, this is what you love to do and maybe you'll get a gig that pays well enough that you two can move out of this shithole - hopefully. You tried your best to rear her, but with how infrequent you're in the house, working odd jobs in the day and performing at the pub at night, you're not sure anymore. You know she is capable of anything if she puts her mind to it - even becoming a princess - but you also know it's not easy to become a princess, and she's horribly equipped for any of that. Then again, if anything your little tyke is tough, and if anyone could be a rags-to-riches princess, it would be her. Thankfully, you've emergency savings - for her schooling, of course. You have a lot of regrets, but maybe it's not too late. ]

"Hey Shira-chan! You've got jerks ta deal with and we've got solutions! Well, something like that. But I think you'll like it even just for what it is. Ya curious?"

Shira looks up to Pink, eyes wide with curiosity.

"Tell me, tell me!"

"Big sis Set-chan mentioned the powers, didn't she? We've each got some of our own, and each one is good for different kindsa situations. I think, since ya've been so mature about those bullies at school, 'n haven't let any of 'em make your choices for ya, we can trust your judgement when it comes ta this. So you get ta learn all the ones we've got! Think you can handle it?"

Her eyes only grow wider.

"Yes - !" immediately comes out of her mouth, and then she jolts, a little surprised by her excitement. The girl presses her lips together, clears her throat - and then tries again for some composure.

". . . Yes. I'm ready."

Since Scarlet has the Quick as a Wink one covered, Pink will drag Cobalt over to demonstrate Cloud Nine, telling her to pay attention to her mood and asking him to just hit her with it lightly so she can tell what it does. They can just explain that all she has to do is think hard about lifting someone's mood and the rest should be innate to her. It might be harder if it's a bully, but if their mood is good from the start it might give her an opportunity to show off the person Emi-chan likes and win them around, and give them a chance to learn better about following the crowd and calling people names.

But sometimes they'll just be rude no matter what, so... that's why there's back up powers.

You teach your daughter powers - it's a little difficult for her, but she manages to learn Cloud Nine. Bzzt! and Quick as a Wink come more naturally for her - she's much too fast, it seems. If you try to chase her and you don't have yourself boosted - you might not be able to catch her at all!

Your daughter doesn't really do much about the plague bearer thing, but - she smiles, she keeps the people around her in a good mood. People learn that . . . they don't really care all that much that she's a plague bearer? Shira's such a fun person! What could possibly go wrong, being friends with this girl?

She doesn't seem to have much trouble at all, and she never uses any abilities besides Cloud Nine, it looks like.

Your daughter's temperament is fair.

Your daughter's mortality is good.
