a few months after the barrier is broken
a large amount of the monster population chooses to stay in the underground, including long-standing businesses like Honeydew Resort
HS still works at the resort due to "family takes care of family generations of business blah blah blah" guilt-tripping
Dalv still stays in the underground even though the rest of the clover crew left months ago to stay close to her
one day after a heated argument with her family HS packs up her things, grabs Dalv, and they both head to New Home to go to the surface
after going through the newly established Surface Customs they both step out onto the surface for the first time together, with one problem
dalv yells and shields his eyes as soon as they see the sun
hundreds of years of being underground has made it obscure medical knowledge that Dalv's kind is blind as a bat in sunlight
HS roots though her bag and pulls out a pair of novelty new year's sunglasses and puts them on Dalv
suddenly he can see perfectly
they hold hands and walk down the mountain path together, eager to see what the surface has to offer
