*Lucy sits up and holds out a birds’ nest.*
Lucy: Here you go.

*Daisy tilts her head. Paulo looks confused.*
Daisy: A nest?

*Lucy recalls her weekend again. She sits on her couch with Yashy and the bird, who has a bandage around his body.*
Lucy: He was really grateful when he woke up, but I told him I didn’t save him..

*Continuing her recollection, she shows the bird a yearbook, pointing to pictures of Paulo and Daisy.*
Lucy: He wanted to know who did, so I showed some pictures of you guys.

*Lucy looks down warmly at the nest, recalling the bird’s smiling face.*
Lucy: This nest is something he made to thank you.

*Paulo and Daisy are touched. They look at each other with warm expressions.*

*Lucy smiles.*
Lucy: Yeah..

*Lucy’s smile turns mischievous.*

Author commentary

Veronica: What’s with these proper-panelled older chapters being about Paulo and Daisy????? Because they have cool meaningful adventures together, THAT IS WHY.
