Silva couldn't sleep all night and had to go with Emely to calm herself. Even the presence of her beloved wasn't enough to stop her anxiety, this was the last day before Silv would act. She held the sleeping Emely tightly against her, trying her best not to think about tomorrow.

"One day left..."

Everyone took a break from their work and decided to spend time together in another world. They decided to go to the place where the tournament was held at the time, when the leader, Silva, and Sepide went to save Neige. Everything was still there, aside from the people. The snow was stretching to the horizon, leaving a sea of white in front of the group. Silva stood there for a moment, enjoying the cold wind of this place until Emely's voice took her out of thought.

"It's so vast in here, we should try to ski!"

"Ski?" Neige asked, a bit confused "I don't know how to do that."

"Me neither, but it will be fun to learn! And I know that my knight in shining armor will catch me if I fall."

Ignoring Emely, Neige turned toward the group and looked at them with curiosity.

"Does any of you know how to ski?"

As an answer, the leader raised her hand with enthusiasm.

"Me! I learned it in Tony Crow's pro snowboarder!"

"Isn't it a game? And snowboarding is different from skiing."

"Just trust me Neige, I know what I'm doing."

After taking all the equipment they needed, everyone tried to ski with the leader's help. After learning the basics, Sepide and Remiel ran away from the group. No one tried to stop them and just figured they were just having fun together. Once the two girls found a lonely place they prepared themselves for what was about to come.

"Remiel, you're better at surfing but you can't beat me on snow!"

"That is what we will see."

Remiel looked around at the snowy place with wonder, visibly unfocused on the race to come. Sepide quickly noticed it and paused to look at her rival.

"What is it? Your body's frozen?"

"No, it's not that, it's just so... Strange. It's like I came here before, it's nostalgic."

Sepide was a bit confused at first but remembered what happened in this world. This was where she met Uriel, the robot used as a basis for Remiel.

"Do you feel bad? Maybe we can go somewhere else?"

"No, it is fine. I do not feel bad."

"Good, I'm not going to let you run away from the race for so little."

Sepide smiled at Remiel but quickly noticed the sadness on her friend's face.

"Sepide, how do you feel about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow... The day Silv will act. I'm a bit scared, I don't know how far she can go... I don't want to live this life anymore, a life where my friends are always in danger."

"So you are scared... Maybe what I feel is fear, it is not a pleasing feeling."

"I know, I'm also scared about the future though. What if we win? I mean, my purpose was to help everyone beat the anomaly, what's going to happen after?"

Remiel stayed silent, unable to find an appropriate answer. Without a word, she walked toward Sepide and held her in her arms, which made her friend flinch.

"Remiel... You're so cold..."

"Is it not how humans react? I believed this was how I could comfort you."

"No, I don't mean that it's wrong, but you're made of metal and the temperature is below 0."

"Oh, my apologies." Remiel stepped back, a bit embarrassed and disappointed that she couldn't help Sepide "Maybe we should go back with the other, the presence of your friends will make you feel better."

"What are you saying? I'm already with you, I don't need to go see the others. Come on, let's race, I'm freezing over here!"

"You are right, let us proceed."

The two friends were about to race but stopped when they saw someone approaching them. Ina was slowly sliding toward them on her ski but seemed panicked. Her eyes were closed and her body curled up and shaking. She slowly opened her eyes and beamed with happiness when she saw the two girls on her way, clearly glad to find them.

"Hey! Can you stop me? I don't know how to stop!"

The two friends looked at Ina slowly approaching them, the woman stared back with confusion, trying to understand why they didn't help her.

"H-Hey! Do you hear me?"

"Yeah, we do. It's just kind of funny to see you like that."

"You hang out too much with Silva..."

After letting Ina go on for a few meters, Sepide taught her how to stop. The trio decided to take a break near a tree, resting from the practice.

"I didn't know it would be so hard, the leader made it seem so easy..."

"The leader is indeed talented." Remiel agreed while turning toward Sepide "Don't you have her DNA in you? Is it why you can ski decently?"

"I ski more than decently... And I don't think she created me with the intent of being good at skiing. I wonder if everyone is doing alright."

"Oh, right!" Ina suddenly spoke, surprising the two girls "I was searching for Neige and Emely, they disappeared."

"They went missing?" Asked Sepide.

"Missing is a bit of an exaggeration, I think they went too far away and didn't notice. I wanted to take a picture all together."

"It is a nice idea, Sepide and I finish our race and we'll help you find them."

Sepide nodded at Remiel and prepared herself, the two looked at the slope in front of them, ready to go.

"Can you race later? I won't know how to find you after..."

Ina's words arrived too late as the two girls rushed down at great speed toward the bottom. Ina looked at them going while softly sliding backward.

"Wait, you didn't teach me to stop backward..."

Silva and Gwyn both tried to follow their leader who was going at full speed and even jumping and doing tricks in the air. When she turned around, she noticed that some of her members weren't there.

"Where's Neige? Ina and Emely are missing too."

Gwyn turned around, trying to see the others.

"Ada isn't here either, I think we lost them. I'm surprised you didn't stay with Emely or Neige, Silva."

"They can manage on their own, it's just so fun to go full speed like that! They're probably all learning together."

The leader walked toward where they came from, trying her best to see the others.

"I did all of that to impress Neige, it sucks if he isn't here to see it."

"Don't worry leader, I'm sure he was impressed by the speed you were going at!"

"I hope you're right Silva, it's not every day we can go skiing." The leader suddenly stopped, realizing something "Don't tell me he stayed behind on purpose to go ice fishing! I wanted to ski with him..."

"Don't go so fast next time then." Said Gwyn while looking around "It's really snowy around here, should we spend the night on the ship? It will be hard staying outside with this cold."

"Don't worry Gwyn, when Silva and Sepide came with me here last time, we ate at a warm place. I also looked a bit around and there are a lot of things in this world, there is even a hot spring."

"I see, it does seem like a good place for vacation, it's a shame you risked your life in this world last time."

"Yeah, it was so long too." Silva said with exasperation "I can't believe everything that happened here, there was a colosseum where we had to beat other people from other worlds! But it's also an important place for me, I remember when Sepide cried when she saw me harm myself... I didn't want anyone to suffer like she did."

"So that's why you stopped." Gwyn took a notebook out of her pocket and noted something in it "I'm glad you got better since."

"Are you monitoring Silva?" Asked the leader "We're on vacation, you can take a break."

"I'm trying to make sure that Silva is in a good state, it would be too bad if something bad happened after all those efforts."

"I'm fine, and everyone around did so much for me, I can't stay bad forever."

The group continued talking for a bit but suddenly stopped when the anomaly fell at full speed on their leader. The two women rolled down the slope and yelled at each other, unable to stop themselves.

"Aren't those two other selves?" Asked Silva "It must hurt."

"Yes, they're probably in pain."

Gwyn and Silva both skied as fast as they could to catch up with the two girls. They were strangely fast for two persons falling but managed to get out of this situation thanks to Silva and the doctor. The two women pouted and ignored each other, glad to finally be away from the other. Even despite Silva's attempt to reconcile them, none of the other-selves did any efforts to talk together.
