(In Natsuki's room...) Natsuki: (sighs) "Just another day as any. Can't wait to head to school." Xanthus: (through telepathy) "Hello, Mommy!" Natsuki: (surprised) "What the-?! Where's that voice coming from?!" Xanthus: (through Telepathy) "I'm in here!" Natsuki: "In where?!" Xanthus: (through telepathy) "I'm in your belly, Mommy. I'm your daughter!" Natsuki: (stunned) "What?! How is that even possible?!" Xanthus: (through telepathy) "I know it's shocking, but it's true. I've always been here, growing inside you." Natsuki: (overwhelmed) "But I never even realized it. How did this happen?" Xanthus: (through telepathy) "Remember that night when you went to that strange party? That's where it all started." Natsuki: (recalling the memories) "Oh, right. That party was so bizarre, I must have gotten mixed up in something... supernatural." Xanthus: (through telepathy) "Yes, it was a gathering of magical beings, and one of them bestowed upon you the gift of carrying me, a half-human, half-xenomorph." Natsuki: (shocked) "A half-human, half-xenomorph? That's... that's unbelievable!" Xanthus: (through telepathy) "I know it sounds strange, Mommy, but it's true. I am a unique and special being." Natsuki: (trying to comprehend) "But... how did I not notice anything? How did you grow inside me without any signs?" Xanthus: (through telepathy) "The magical being who granted me life also concealed my presence within you. It was their way of keeping us safe." Natsuki: (feeling a mix of emotions) "I... I don't know what to say. This is all so sudden and unexpected." Xanthus: (through telepathy) "I understand, Mommy. It's a lot to take in. But please know that I am here now, and I am grateful to be a part of your life." Natsuki: (softly) "And I, I am grateful to have you, Xanthus. You are my daughter, and I will love and support you no matter what." Xanthus: (through telepathy) "Thank you, Mommy. That means the world to me." Natsuki: (smiling through tears) "Come here, Xanthus. Let me feel your presence, let me connect with you." Xanthus: (through telepathy) "I am here, Mommy. Always." (As Natsuki places her hands on her belly, she feels a warm, comforting energy. From that moment on, mother and daughter begin their journey together, embracing the unique bond that fate has bestowed upon them.) (The next day, in the clubroom...)
