"You have to admit, they're really cute like this," Fuuka hummed. She watched with a small smile at the sleeping twins, no older than three. There was just something about the way that the two held onto each other, even while asleep, that she couldn't resist watching.
"'Cute' doesn't get us deeper into Tartarus," Mitsuru responded darkly.
"I dunno, it managed to get me this far," Junpei joked, earning an annoyed glance from the two girls. "Seriously, though, we got through a month's worth of floors in like a day, so it's not like this is much of a setback."
"Our leaders are babies and Stupei is the voice of reason," Yukari mumbled under her breath. "Maybe I'm just having a weird dream."
"Hey!"
"Speaking of dreams, it is late," Aigis mentioned. "I suggest everyone head to bed as soon as possible."

Mitsuru admired her handiwork, watching on with a subtle smile as a tiny Kotone nestled tighter into her brother. As much as she didn't want to admit it, the two were, in fact, adorable.
"Thank you, Aigis," Mitsuru hummed, gesturing to the door. "You may go now."
"I will not," Aigis answered back. "I will be watching over Makoto-san and Kotone-san for the night."
