Synopsis[]
Melissa allows Martina to let Martina's spirit take control of Melissa's body. However, Louie must return before dawn or else Melissa's soul will leave her own body. After Martina's spirit enters Melissa's body, Louie takes Martina out on a night with drinks and laughter, but it didn't help Martina find out what she left behind. Melissa urges to continue looking, and Martina says they may find something at Fahn Hill—a place that's special to her. Getting there via the main road will take too long, but Louie knows a shortcut: climbing the cliff of the hill.
The climb, with Martina on his back, doesn't go easy and Martina suggests returning as she doesn't even know for sure whether this place holds meaning to her. Louie, however, tells her you can't give up until you find what you're looking for. Louie says he was once like that: he wanted to be strong and spent his days boozing and brawling, but none of that was what he was really looking for. Then he literally ran into his future on the streets, when he met Melissa, Merrill and Genie.
When Louie and Martina arrive on top of the hill, Martina enjoys a view of sunrise over the city and the temple of Mylee. She suddenly recalls she once, while standing on the hill as a young child, vowed to become a priestess of Mylee and meet a dreamy hero, but she never fulfilled that vow. Louie asks her if she found out what she was looking for. Martina replies she did and leaves Melissa's body, parting with the words she is very happy to have met Louie.
Melissa wonders what Martina saw in Louie that she has yet to see. Then Louie remarks he totally forgot to xxx Martina, leaving Melissa again unsure about what to think of him.
