Months had slipped by since Komaru heroically liberated Towa City from the clutches of the Warriors of Hope. In a bold decision, she chose to remain in the city alongside Toko, driven by an unwavering resolve to safeguard its inhabitants. The stakes were high; if she were to leave with Byakuya and Toko, the Future Foundation would inevitably uncover the sinister truths lurking within the Towa Corporation. Such revelations would summon the dreaded Remnants of Despair back to Towa City, igniting the flames of yet another catastrophic war. During a heartfelt call with her brother, she expressed her joy at seeing him again, but the weight of her decision hung heavy in the air. She revealed her intention to stay behind, continuing the relentless search for their missing parents, while Makoto would remain with the Future Foundation, tasked with capturing the remnants of despair. They exchanged promises to reunite soon, their bond unbroken despite the distance, before the call came to an end. Fast forward to the present day, and a fierce debate erupted between Komaru and Toko over something seemingly trivial yet undeniably pressing: the need for a bath.

"Toko, stop being so stubborn and just wash for once!" Komaru exclaimed, her frustration palpable as she gestured emphatically, the tension in the air thick with the urgency of their situation. The stakes were high, and even the simplest of tasks felt monumental in the shadow of their past battles.
