I was genuinely confused at first. Seeing all the girls together threw me off because I didn't remember Natsu being found in the last issue. But the first page should have been the giveaway with the bubbles, and it just went over my head. Spoilers, this was all a vision, it was all in Shinobu's & Hisako's head.

I knew this was a dream sequence from the very beginning, though it was still very interesting. Some solid action and writing from Momoko, in my opinion.
