"So, Mei... you look like this because you became a Herrscher?"
Kiana really wanted to touch Mei's horns. After all, that pink-haired fairy had already touched them. If she, the real deal, hadn't even touched them yet, wouldn't that put her behind Elysia?
Although the Raiden Mei before her was from a parallel world, she surely wouldn't agree if Kiana asked out of the blue!

Then she curiously asked about Mei's situation.

"I suppose so."
Since Kiana had already guessed, Mei didn't hide it any longer.
"A Herrscher... why did you become a Herrscher too, Mei?"
Kiana didn't understand. She knew better than anyone how dangerous becoming a Herrscher was. Besides, Mei had always rejected her Herrscher Persona.
Why would her future self suddenly become a Herrscher?

"Stop asking, Kiana. You'll find out soon anyway." Mei didn't want to answer that question.
"But..."
"It was for Kiana. Because Kiana is an idiot who keeps making Sister Mei worry."
Just then, Bronya suddenly entered the room with Seele and answered for her.
"Because of me?"
Was it because of her again?
Sure enough, even her future self kept causing trouble for the people around her.
"Don't overthink it, Kiana. Unlike you, the future Mei becoming a Herrscher wasn't as dangerous as you imagine, because even Raiden Mei's Herrscher Persona..."

When Mei stopped halfway through her sentence, Kiana looked at her curiously.
"Bronya doesn't understand how an idiot like Kiana can be so charming. Even Herrscher Mei loved you, idiot. She even willingly sacrificed herself for you."
Holding her Seele's hand, Bronya continued
