Past, Present, and Future
Magisa has a chilling premonition—she foresees a giant monster attacking (Captain)'s sleigh which sends the captain tumbling to the bottom of the sky. When (Captain) and Arulumaya agree to deliver presents in place of an injured Santa Claus, Magisa trades places with Arulumaya to prevent the future she saw from happening. Later on Arulumaya gazes into her crystal ball and also foresees (Captain)'s doom.
On a snowy winter night, silhouettes of reindeer flicker across the sky. They dash through the stars pulling a single sleigh behind them.
Aboard the festive craft are (Captain) and Arulumaya, donning their finest holiday attire.
Arulumaya: Hm... Well, that completes our mission.
Arulumaya: Oh... Your hands are quite cold.
Arulumaya: I'm sorry. The sleigh was already packed full, so I didn't bring anything for keeping warm.
Arulumaya: This will have to do.
Arulumaya stands up and wraps her arms around (Captain).
Arulumaya: Hehe. This way, we can keep both our bodies and our hearts warm.
Arulumaya: Hey, (Captain), can I ask you something?
Arulumaya: Well... Tonight, do you think the two of us could...
Arulumaya: Oh, sorry, (Captain). It seems we have a few unexpected visitors.
A giant monster appears out of nowhere, and with a high-pitched screech, swoops down on (Captain) and Arulumaya.
Arulumaya: (Captain), you drive the sleigh!
(Captain) nods and scrambles to take the reins.
Arulumaya: Ugh... Oh no...
The sleigh jolts, causing Arulumaya to lose her balance.
Another vicious shriek echoes from the beast, sending a strong gust of wind crashing against the sleigh.
Despite (Captain)'s struggle to maintain footing inside the vessel, the impact tosses the captain overboard.
Arulumaya: ...!
(Captain)! Take my hand!
(Captain)! Take my hand!
Instinctively, Arulumaya jumps forward and thrusts an open palm toward the tumbling (Captain).
But alas, she is too late. Downward (Captain) falls, plunging toward the bottom of the sky.
Arulumaya: (Captain)!
Magisa: ...!
Magisa: Pant... Pant... What was that just now?
Magisa shakes her head to clear away the grogginess of waking up and steps out of bed.
Magisa: Goodness, that was a terrible premonition...
Magisa: If only it had been a vision of (Captain) and I sharing a passionate holy night together...
Magisa: Wouldn't that sort of premonition be nice for a change of pace?
Magisa not in crew
Magisa, a witch who is well-versed in all kinds of magic, has the ability of foresight.
She has joined (Captain) and company to fulfill a future she once saw in one of her premonitions.
Since joining the crew, Magisa has come to realize that the more time she spends aboard the Grandcypher, the foggier her visions become.
The thrill of not knowing the future—a first for Magisa—leads the witch to believe that she and (Captain) are destined to be together.
Magisa: (I can't just sit and do nothing. If my premonition comes true, then (Captain) will...)
Magisa: (But then again, my premonitions aren't always true when it comes to (Captain).)
Magisa: (I certainly hope that's the case this time...)
She exits the room with graceful steps and a bewitching smile.
Magisa: (Captain), do you have a minute? I wanted to ask about your plans for the holy...
Arulumaya: But of course. Lending a hand to those in need is only natural.
Arulumaya: Besides, though it is a mission, spending the holy night with (Captain) makes for a wonderful incentive.
Santa Claus: Ho ho ho, thank you.
Magisa enters (Captain)'s room to find Vyrn, Lyria, and Arulumaya conversing pleasantly with Santa Claus.
Magisa: Looks like you're having quite the enjoyable conversation here.
Arulumaya: Magisa...
Arulumaya looks at Magisa warily, the bow of her smile uncurling into a neutral expression.
Vyrn: Magisa? What's the matter? Did ya need somethin' from (Captain)?
Magisa: I just felt like seeing our captain.
Magisa: So, what were all of you talking about? Especially with our rather exceptional guest.
Santa Claus: Ho ho ho. As embarrassing as this is, I strained my back, you see...
Santa Claus: And because of that, I'm afraid it'll be hard for me to deliver this year's presents...
Santa Claus: That's why I'm here—to request your help in delivering the presents in my place.
Magisa: I see... And did we accept this request?
Vyrn: Yeah! We can't just mope around while ol' Kris Kringle here's in trouble!
(Captain) nods in agreement.
Arulumaya: And we mustn't forget the many children throughout the skies who are looking forward to their presents.
Magisa: Hm...
Magisa: (It's happening as I predicted... I have to do something so it doesn't end up like in my premonition.)
Santa Claus: Ho ho ho. Then I'll go get your clothes and sleigh ready...
Magisa: Ahem, do you think I could join you on this mission?
Arulumaya: ...!
Vyrn: Huh? You wanna help out too, Magisa?
Magisa: Indeed. After all, protecting the dreams of children is one of the many jobs of a witch.
Santa Claus: The thing is... My sleigh was made to be a one-person sleigh. I'm not sure how many people would be able to squeeze in...
Magisa thinks for a moment before turning to Arulumaya.
Magisa: Then, Arulu... Would you mind if I took your place?
Arulumaya: Oh, hmm... Well...
Magisa: (I'm sorry, Arulu... I'm going to need you to let me go on this mission no matter what.)
Magisa: (I have to make sure that premonition doesn't come true...)
Magisa: Look, I simply must go on this mission. Please, won't you understand?
Vyrn: Yeesh, why're you so hung up on this?
Magisa: Presents are delivered the night before the big winter celebration, right?
Magisa: Flying across the skies and spreading joy by moonlight—sounds so romantic.
Lyria: D-don't forget that we're here too!
Magisa: Oh, of course. But the sleigh is quite small, isn't it?
Magisa: I'll just have to snuggle up to (Captain) so the both of us can fit.
Magisa: Can't be helped if (Captain) starts paying more attention to me... Hehe.
Lyria: I'm going to be the one sitting next to (Captain)!
Magisa: In any case... What do you say, Arulu?
Magisa: I wouldn't ask you for free, of course. And a contract—a promise—made by a witch is nothing to sneeze at.
Arulumaya: ...
Arulumaya: Fine. If you're going that far, then I'll let you go in my place this time.
Magisa: Thank you, Arulu. This is why I love you.
Lyria and Vyrn chuckle at the comment as Magisa puts on a satisfied smile.
Magisa: Well then, Santa, I guess it's settled. (Captain) and I will be delivering your presents.
Santa Claus: Ho ho ho, all right. Then all that's left is your outfits.
Santa Claus: I'm sure you're familiar with my clothing. With my magic, I can make a matching ensemble for—
Magisa: I appreciate the thought, but I can prepare my own, thank you.
Vyrn: Huh? Are you gonna go out and buy one?
Magisa: I'm a witch, sweetie. Manifesting a few articles of clothing is a piece of cake for me.
Magisa: Besides, I'm going to be spending the night with (Captain)...
Magisa: A girl needs to choose her own outfit for these special occasions.
Magisa: I'm thinking something like... this!
The moment Magisa claps her hands, her body begins to glow.
Magisa: What do you think, (Captain)? I made some adjustments to Santa's clothes. Now it's more suited to my tastes...
Santa Claus: Ho ho ho! Splendid work. You certainly are skilled with your magic.
Choose: Still more witchy than wintery?
Magisa: Obviously. When a look just works, you work with it, right?
(Captain) chuckles.
Magisa: But now that I'm a Santa-fied witch, I've got even more magic to work on you...
Magisa: The romantic kind of magic that will make you want to spend a cold, winter night with me.
Magisa: Oh my, that's quite a passionate look on your face. Does this outfit really look that good on me?
(Captain) nods encouragingly.
Magisa: Did you know, (Captain)...
Magisa: Once a person falls under a witch's charm, she's all they'll start to think about.
Magisa: Eventually, they'll seek out the witch and offer up their body and soul to her.
Magisa: So, (Captain)... If you ever feel the urge to relinquish your body and soul to such a witch, feel free to let me know.
Magisa: I'll welcome you with open arms.
Magisa: Like this...

Magisa wraps her arms around (Captain) in a tight hug.
Magisa: ...
Magisa: (No matter what dangers are out there, I'll protect you. That's how much you mean to me...)
Lyria: Ngh... What do you think you're doing, Magisa!
Santa Claus: Ho ho ho. You're lucky to be surrounded by so many caring friends, (Captain).
Despite the festive mood aboard the Grandcypher, Arulumaya sits alone in her room gazing silently into her crystal ball.
Arulumaya: Destiny cannot be changed...
Arulumaya: But this future... this ending must be avoided at all costs.
Arulumaya: Magisa must sense something too. We have to figure out the best course of action.
She peers further into the depths of the glass orb.
Reflected before her, just beneath the crystalline surface, is pure catastrophe.
