After the phantom finishes all of the guards and the assassins in the lab, she looks at Galadriel.
Galadriel says, "Yukari-san?"
The phantom then begins to walk slowly towards her.
Slowly, the legs move among the armour wrecks.
And as the phantom is in front of her, she crouches and looks closer to her face.
Galadriel feels nervous, she also starts to sweat.
Then the phantom screams towards her face.
As she screams, her saliva goes all over her face.
Galadriel becomes more terrified, her heart beats fast.
But in her mind says, "Is Yukari still alive? Is she still conscious inside that phantom shell? And why doesn't she attack or eat me immediately? Or maybe? She recognized me. Does she recognize me? I have to make sure first."
Then she says a word towards the phantom.
"YUKARI!! ARE YOU STILL THERE?!! ARE YOU STILL CONSCIOUS IN THERE?!!"
The phantom just looked at her in silence.
Galadriel isn't giving up and says again,
"YUKARI!! I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!! COME OUT!! I KNOW YOU'RE STILL ALIVE!! SO COME OUT, SHOW YOURSELF, YUKARI!! IT'S FINE NOW!! IT'S SAFE!! YUKARI? YUKARI?! YUKARI!!!!!"
Even after she screams to her, the phantom still stays silent.
Galadriel starts to give up, but she still hopes for Yukari to return.
So she begins to shed tears and desperately placed her hands to the phantom's body and says while crying,
"Yukari, please…..wake up, Please Yukari…..I'm begging you!! Please…..return to me, Yukari, Yukari. I know it's my fault that you become like this, but please…..come back, Yukari-san. Don't leave me, don't go. You're my best friend. There's a lot of things that I want to tell and do with you."
Then she suddenly remembers the first time when she met Yukari.
(FLASHBACK)
That time, Galadriel (With the identity of Himari) is still a newbie at the company.
She just began to work.
The manager introduces her to the entire employee, "Everyone, today we have a new person who will join us. Alright, now introduce yourself."
She says with a smile, "Nice to meet you all. My name is Himari Kondo. You all could call me Himari. Yoroshiku Ne."
Then the manager takes her to her working desk.
"Okay, Himari. You will be in the graphic design division with Yukari."
But Yukari is asleep at her desk.
The manager scolded her, "YUKARI!!"
Yukari immediately awakes with messy hair and replies, "YES! YES!"
The manager sighs and says, "Don't sleep during work."
Yukari replies, "Hehe, Gomenasae."
The manager says again, "Let me guess, you read manga and watch anime until midnight."
Yukari feels anxious and says, "Well, that's half right."
The manager then replies, "Hah?! What do you mean?"
Yukari answers proudly, "The correct answer is that I read manga and watch anime a whole night without any sleep."
The manager is surprised and replies, "THAT'S EVEN WORST!!!!!"
Yukari just replies with "Hehe."
The manager then sighs and says, "Yukari, please don't make that a habit. You should take care of yourself more. Start from now, get yourself a long enough rest."
Yukari salutes and replies, "OKAY, BOSS!!"
The manager sighs again and then says, "Oh yeah, by the way this is your new colleague from now on."
Then Himari introduces himself to her, "Nice to meet you, my name is Himari Kondo. But you could call me Himari."
Yukari smiles and replies, "Nice to meet you too, Himari-chan. My name is Yukari Hayami."
Since then, she has become closer.
So close until even on the weekend, they spend a lot of time together outside and sometimes, Yukari invites Himari to her apartment.
When she visits Yukari's apartment for the first time, she is surprised.
There's a lot of anime merchandise from action figures, cards, posters, pictures and drawings.
Himari says, "WOW! You really are a hardcore otaku, ha."
Yukari gives a thumbs up and proudly replies, "YES I AM!!!!!"
"But that's not all, there's more in my room."
Then she shows Himari her room.
As she sees the room, she says, "WHAT THE HECK?!!!!!"
In her room, there's a lot of game discs, movie discs, cosplay costumes and its properties and a lot of mangas.
Yukari says, "Hmm…..What do you think?"
Himari replies, "Even God will be surprised to see this."
Then Yukari says, "Wanna play a video game?"
Himari replies, "Video Game?"
Yukari says, "Yeah. Let's play. I'm gonna show you my true skill as a pro gamer. I WILL SHOW YOU THE TRUE POWER OF AN OTAKU!!!!!!!!!!"
Himari feels challenged and replies, "Alright, bring it on."
Then they play a game until night.
Yukari's face is so surprised.
"ABSOLUTE DEFEAT"
Himari arrogantly says, "Pro Gamer, ha?"
Then Yukari goes mad and replies, "HOW COULD YOU BE SO GOOD AT GAMING?!!!!!"
Himari says, "Maybe, it's just luck."
Yukari replies, "LUCKY FOR THE ENTIRE ROUND!!!!!"
Himari says, "Yeah."
Yukari replies, "Impossible, tell me how you do it?"
Himari says, "I told you it's just luck."
Yukari replies, "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!! TELL ME YOUR SECRET!!!!! TELL ME!! TELL ME!! TELL ME!! TELL ME!! TELL ME!!"
Then Himari laughs.
Yukari says, "Hey, why are you laughing, I'm serious here."
But then she laughs too.
Galadriel's monologue,
"I'm very grateful to meet you. You brought a lot of happy and fun memories to my life on Earth. You are always by my side every moment, during happy times and sad times. And even after you knew my true identity, you still accepted me as a friend. Yukari-san, you are truly indeed my precious friend."
THEN BACK AT THE PRESENT TIME
Galadriel still cries and says, "Yukari, please come back. I want to create more beautiful memories with you."
But suddenly Yukari hugs her and replies, "Me too."
Galadriel then surprised and immediately looked towards her.
It turns out she has returned to her human form.
Yukari shed a lot of tears and said, "I also want to create more memories with you."
Galadriel hugs her and replies while crying, "YUKARI!! I'M SORRY!! I'M SORRY!! I'M SORRY THAT I CAN'T PROTECT YOU!!!!!"
Yukari says while crying as well, "It's okay. I know that you tried your best to save me, you even dare to sacrifice yourself for me. (Then she touches both of her arms) BUT DON'T DO THAT, GALADRIEL!!!!!"
Galadriel was surprised, "Ha?"
Yukari then says while shedding a lot of tears, "BECAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE AS WELL!!!!!"
Galadriel nods and smiles.
Yukari smiles too.
Then they hug each other once again.
After that, Galadriel stands up and says, "Alright, now let's get out of here and hurry back home."
Yukari erased her tears and nodded.
Then she stands up as well.
After that, they walk out of the lab.
And as they walk, Yukari replies, "Yeah, LET'S GET OUT FROM THIS HELLHOLE!!!!!"
