7 Billion Needles Vol. 02

As strange as “normal” might seem to Hikaru now, “happy days” are much more welcomed than the surreal days she experienced with Celistial. Having wasted Maelstrom in a massive battle, she has been freed from the voices in her head(-phones) and is now moving on with her life with new-found resolve.

When Hikaru gets an opportunity to formally exorcise her personal demons, Hikaru takes the first ferry to the Izu Islands to pay her final respects. When she and her friends arrive and make their way around Hikaru’s ancestral home, they all quickly realize that they were not alone in making this trip.
