It wasn't just Gwen Stacy who had changed; the entire world was changing.

No one noticed. Aside from one disturbance after another, no one noticed the changes elsewhere.

Yet it had indeed appeared.

Little by little, something more had been added.

The people of the Odd Jobs Shop had already sensed that "departure" was coming. It was rushing toward them, working overtime, and while their feelings were complicated, they were also searching for other ways... to ease their melancholy.

They didn't know where the future lay, nor what life in another world would be like.

They knew even less whether they should leave or stay.

The women of the Odd Jobs Shop seemed to share one trait—they didn't really like Wakanda.

No one knew why.

A week after the Battle of Wakanda, they began leaving one after another.

Aomei took Quicksilver back to her "hometown," Sokovia. Following the memories of their childhood, they retraced the journey through the city where they had grown up.

Remembering, reminiscing, taking pictures.

Miss Polaris also returned to her "old home" for a look. Her old home in Los Angeles had changed. When she left, her adoptive parents had sold the house.

Looking at the familiar house and the unfamiliar people, she felt a wave of melancholy.

"Ah... Lorna?" A familiar voice rang out.

She turned and saw her school best friend, that muddleheaded little tagalong, Jessie.

"It really is you... Lorna."

"It is. Long time no see." Lorna smiled gently.

Perhaps Jessie was the only person she had known here. Several years had passed, and the people she knew had long since gone off to colleges everywhere. There weren't many old friends left to meet in Los Angeles.

Everything was over. Her identity would no longer bring her danger, so she had come back.
