Curiosity was the fuel behind Lumiâs fire. It had carried her through her career, brought her to the Endless Expanse, and aided her in discovering the truth behind each mystery that has landed in her lap. However, when she found herself satisfied with solving the mysteries around her, she didnât care what became of those involved afterwards.Â
However, things have changed.
It took the deaths of eight other passengers for her to realize that the path she was on wasnât right and it never had been. The grief of each death slammed into her mercilessly after the theatre had concluded. Vi and Vamp, who she never had the chance to understand, Blythe and Shepherd, whoâs chance at life was stolen and whoâs desperation she could never realize, Fairy and Fantasma, whoâs inner self she had never known and whoâs determination she wish she had, and Tuesday, whoâs ridiculous actions sparked this game and who ultimately worked to get them out of it. These lives and all the lives she had effected in her work, who she had thrown away without a thought of how they would feel, weighed heavily on her shoulders and in the tears that fell from her eyes.
However, she had saved one, hadnât she? Daisy. Her precious Daisy. While the methods used were nothing to be celebrated, she had done something. It was more than anything she had done before. She wasnât going to keep running away and disappearing when things got uninteresting or complicated. She was going to fight through the bad and she was going to do everything she could to help those that were important to her. No, she had to help everyone.
She had to do what was right.

As she finished her make up in the mirror of her newly refurbished room, Lumi gave herself a quick wink and blew herself a kiss with new found confidence.
âLooking gorgeous as always, darling. Letâs get to work, shall we?â
She snatched her lab coat from the bed, made a quick stop at the restaurant for some essential tools, and made her way back down to the new floor Dot had opened up for them. The elevator doors opened, and Lumi glided out of it riding on her new cart. It was time to do some research and hopefully mend a few relationships. She had her work cut out for her, but she had a feeling that the others would know where to find her. So, until her company arrived, she would make herself comfortable in the lab. It was about time Dot had given Lumi the playground she deserved.Â
âHuh... The equipment is even better than what Iâm used to... Just where did Dot get her hands on this?â
Lumi began examining the samples provided in the lab to get a handle on the equipment, and as she did so another passenger approached her. She looked up from the microscope she was working with and pushed up her glasses.
âAh! Welcome, darling~ Please, make yourself comfortable. Want to assist me with a few tests?â
