The faint sound of waves echoed beyond the quiet of Coco Village. Somewhere in a small house, Abby sat by her window, her guitar in her lap, her notebook open… but no words came.

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJxPiCake8

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFvV3uUu3z
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFfC3tLUs2
Abby didn't answer right away. She strummed a soft, wandering chord before letting the strings fall silent.

"…Yeah." She sighed and leaned back. "He was my only best friend. Y'know? He made everything feel less boring. Less… stuck."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiymLMgPZw

Abby frowned. "I kinda am. He's out there having crazy fun adventures—fighting cool people, discovering weird islands, probably getting into trouble…" She smiled a little. "…without me."

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbFjkxyYEu
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUS07PVj4Z
Lucy nodded, then reached into her pouch and slowly pulled out a glowing S-Orb.

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fV0K1rxNc
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS7wp8Yrtk

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX1eoZpBTl
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrbkKgxRa1
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHMIZ0EbXP

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QbMv1jCEg
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxx9agdlxF
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlYNWLKwVz
An endless, black nothing.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtsopnj1Nq
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBGMxuKzja

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVEHBVU4AZ
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkRuvR5Hhl
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RqKXfv5rU

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsQTXRBNPl
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiuFW8h56o
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPepbBTI0Ws

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNckFn4SGO
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnvR3XIS5h
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJP3ZZQtd1

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdil9zZfdf
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQFecsv9Nc
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2whPz6Icb
Then—somewhere in that void—a single spark of light flickered.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60KcnaCWEO
Abby stared at the light.
It pulsed softly, like a heartbeat.
Warm. Calm. Beautiful.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMpTgQWsea
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXw3iIREda
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ4x3EMEKl
Her wide eyes reflected it like a mirror—shimmering, full of awe.
Suddenly, her body began to glow too—soft sparkles dancing over her arms and legs, as if the light was painting her in stardust.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr1EIO10ZI
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TC1eKbHnH
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAFjGkZWYP
She blinked. "…What is this?"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vBNmgtX74
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ82m9ANOBy
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyii37I0Ye
The moment her fingertips touched it—
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtIdsQfxtg
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFRuY8GRZg
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk0RTg4qAz
The void shattered.

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL78kx5cmR
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T1QllP71O
The endless black cracked like glass and faded into nothingness, replaced by wind, light… and a gentle ground beneath her feet.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrnp4nGRbH
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEi403AJHR
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAORYbzOk2
She landed softly in a vast open field that didn't seem to exist anywhere normal.
The grass shimmered with subtle rainbows.
The air smelled like lavender and mystery.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EzGVNtHOz
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy2zUTdLNy
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinNg0KyfjS
Spirits danced in the distance—glowing figures and translucent animals.
A deer with antlers like tree branches leapt past her.
A fox made of water padded along the grass, leaving flowers in its pawprints.
Winged rabbits floated by, giggling in wind-chime voices.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKtoYqkHQ1
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaqLLwpT4d
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqguPd8A86
Abby gasped in awe, spinning slowly as she took it all in.
"Woooooow…" she whispered, eyes glistening. "This is like… like a dream!"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLv7qVOSJX
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpizyQIr96e
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXTY8quReT
And then—she saw her.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6xE4iZN8g
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22N9mpv4IR
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0dpOonKb9
Underneath a cherry blossom tree in full bloom, there sat a woman.
Her long silver hair flowed gently behind her, one lock tucked perfectly behind her ear.
Her eyes were amethyst, glimmering with a faint bluish tint that felt like ancient oceans and forgotten skies.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Bwn4Toxo
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZK3Jr40j0
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaVAslviFm
She wore a flowing white dress, elegant and simple, and sat with perfect grace at a table covered in roses.
A delicate parasol with pink polka dots shaded her from the surreal sun above.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs0LRPrOIn
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLnZ834lKO
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5nvpwQRpu
She sipped her tea quietly, the cup porcelain and painted with golden constellations.
She glanced up and smiled gently, as if she'd been expecting Abby all along.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzAVncjgAD
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWlNQZML9Z
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJywWAHNuB
Abby looked down and realized—she was wearing a white dress, too.
Soft, flowing, and glowing just like the spirits around her.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwtgbfiwtp
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjZLzPO3WT
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJtUUUj7nY
"…Hello?" Abby said cautiously, walking toward the table.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBzx0W6T5a
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOQTzkWUmw
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCNr0MaOTO
The woman chuckled softly, setting her teacup down.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqxj2ykUb1
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1Oksvjjm6
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9K1NdBlmF

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsjDL851BB
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGpZGYTU5A
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaSd68IiBQ

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ8FYv2Clt
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsc2r4Lq5i
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBwU34AoYL

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbmRT9Plo9
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPib7vyvOz
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGHCIMrARS
"Come. Sit with me. The tea's still warm… and there's much to talk about."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmLhxu0W8v
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32UTGwQuw9
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tAYrNJBM3
Abby hesitated—then slowly stepped forward, her heart pounding with wonder, nerves, and curiosity.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ6FTUJ4RM
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5xltgn7rR
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIqgMEVV75
Abby slowly sat down at the tea table, her eyes never leaving the silver-haired woman in front of her. The wind was calm, the spirits still drifting peacefully in the air around them.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAgdbWHL2c

"How do you know Eleo?" Abby asked, her voice curious but wary.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFSK5uxUQa
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjky1MRKeZQ
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDnnvo6XQN
The woman smiled, her expression unreadable.
"I know everything about you, Abby."
She poured another cup of tea. "What you want, how you feel… even the parts you try to hide. You wish to go on an adventure. With your best friend Eleo."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoEjss3BCT
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6KpVWJC21
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R7BZ0DMNf
Abby blinked, her ears twitching slightly.
"Y-Yeah…" she whispered. "I really do…"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mZXv97l7E
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoa4GoRDj3
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbcJUfFmS0
The woman's smile widened, soft but uncanny.
"But you don't need him. You can be your own person. Have your own island. Your own world. No more chasing someone else's story."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bfoLZZQxB
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq9AKatWk4
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvdjkq7coR
Abby hesitated. "But… what about my mom? And Coco Village?"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkCqCfOVkt
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKPOP5ogyG
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a4lQWgxx0

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1lg5FqAzA
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOCx1KtOhH

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUQwp9rx9Y
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj3Y3dnIH9
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qeRrK04aY
Abby furrowed her brows.
"Huh? What… was I talking about?"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAowKSX6Zyq
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNe9mi4TNN
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FPPDcayjF
The woman giggled.
"You were talking about your own island. How you could be free."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgDIaasQl8
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m4s02qryB
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOnQP6jWoD
Abby nodded slowly, dazed. "Right… yeah… my own island… but what about Eleo—"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0YApgcq9e
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6dbSDasE0
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NAI6WV3UK

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidpQl6OhX5
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN4aUZqEAV
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VbJqlaFf5
A flick of her fingers.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyUQ15Bdy5
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtng9yAzre
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYcJQgjMPu

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKjX3W5zLO
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs443FKvp92
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMhVCpLLAk
Abby's mind blanked for a moment, like a chalkboard wiped clean.
"I… I don't know. I think I was talking about… an island?"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiKlZt7Go6
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx3AVHaZOX
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRlO6J55qo
The woman leaned forward, extending her hand.
"Come now. Hold my hand."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksPR7EL6wW
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKdjZv6YmJ
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S47qKzkYJ
Abby hesitated, heart pounding. But something about the woman's voice made it feel… safe. So she reached out.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh6oschcQL
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI9tMe5slT
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2JmX4sFev
The moment their hands touched—
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXa5xH4TPd
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaGEyed4wv
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzXAfnaWEV
FWOOOOOSH.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHRtAfvU3j
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ1OHThEXa
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGSjd3JbZn
The tea table, the spirits, the grass, the world—gone.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31g4gh8hT5
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JExgFozPq
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MeHAGNOr8
Abby and the woman were floating in the sky, high above the open ocean. The breeze rushed around them as the clouds shimmered with magic.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZRI5LwUnw
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6kJgf7MD2
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jiQnvWYD8
And then—beneath them—the sea began to churn.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbUo2Bx089
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd9RgTH2zK
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jo1kxDRLt
The water swirled, as if the ocean itself was waking up.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH0971pmdO
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsgzUxqrht
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPvBdBgsnx
CRACK!
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvj0XJ8bHF
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrRe6VVxKF
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6Anz8K5g8
Rising from the waves came an island—but not just any island.
It was unlike anything Abby—or even the world—had ever seen.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuT3cnxZqI
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZZ2uFW2lo
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQdrBpVdvd
Massive flower-like trees bloomed across sky-high cliffs that spiraled like seashells.
A volcano in the center glowed not with lava, but with floating light crystals, dancing like fireflies.
Waterfalls poured upward, twisting into the sky like ribbons.
Bridges of coral and glowing stones connected floating mini-isles, each with mysterious ruins and spiral towers.
A beach made of glass pebbles stretched along the coast, and when the wind blew, the entire island seemed to hum like music.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqsslhad8p
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4AI0vrvNE
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6CcAnEUBZ
Spirits swam through the skies like fish, and a moon hung low even though it was day.
At the highest cliff, a throne of vines and gold stood—waiting.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9xJ06Qpxz
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpbl9qETEv
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulHx6v0tHY
Abby gasped, eyes wide and shining.
"Wooooow! This… this is insane! It's like something out of a storybook!"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qmyDq7nRt
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpofTT9OHHU
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2R3GAx8ly
The woman looked at the island with a soft smile.
"It's all yours. No rules. No waiting. No being left behind. Here, you are the center of everything."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfuTLfYKpu
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgds4GAgrUq
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbH8toC4ON
Abby blinked. "But… what about—"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8W3Qt9Cua
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7MuquLLRH
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTxJFei3Gl
The woman gently placed a hand on Abby's shoulder. Her voice remained warm, calm, kind…
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmPPOwpzQY
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmft4YTVgE
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8MD240Bz0
"Shh. It's okay. You don't need anyone to complete you. Not Eleo. Not your village. This island—this world—can be yours."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjWc3wBszJ
A faint glow flickered in the woman's eyes. She snapped her fingers one last time—but slower.
Abby's pupils dilated as something washed over her—a haze of fog slipping into her mind. Names, faces, laughter, tears—all drifting away like dust in the wind.
She blinked. Once. Twice.
Her hand gripped the woman.
"Who… are you?"
