Saki's Prayers Soaring Into the Sky 4* card and card story contains multiple references to her Abyss of Memories 4* card. Firstly, the untrained of both cards feature paper cranes. In Japan, folding 1000 paper cranes is a way for people to wish for a seriously ill person to get better, which is why they can be seen on Saki's untrained Abyss of Memories card set when she was in hospital. Folding 1000 paper cranes can also be used for any wish though, which is the purpose they serve in Saki's untrained Prayers Soaring Into the Sky card, where she wished for her songs and feelings to be able to reach Leo/need's fans.

The most obvious link between both trained cards is the bathtub. In the Abyss of Memories card, the overflowing water symbolises her (then) seemingly unending suffering, and the bath and bathroom are filled with things she wasn't able to use when she was in hospital. In her Prayers Soaring Into the Sky card, the bath is still overflowing, but is now filled with flowers. Some of these flowers include pink roses, yellow roses (symbolising friendship), and sunflowers (symbolising longevity), putting a much more positive spin on the overflowing water imagery. All 3 flowers can symbolise happiness as well.

Some other things from Saki's Abyss of Memories trained card can be spotted in her Fragment SEKAI. These include her suitcase, sunhat, and some of the paper cranes. Saki was unable to go on holiday when she was younger, hence why her unused holiday items were included in the older card. Her SEKAI being set at a holiday resort more than likely links to this idea.

If there is one thing Ichika learned about Lady Saki's tea parties, it is that one must always bring a plate of pastries as a gift.

"Oh! These are quite delicious! I urge you to tell me where you've bought these beloved cookies, Icchan!"

Even the blend of milk cannot dampen the sweet flavor that melts in Lady Saki's mouth as she cups the side of her cheek, munching on the treat gleefully.

Ichika stares at her cute expression fondly. "I just happened to read a recipe, is all. Although I couldn't have done everything without a friend's help." It was a miracle that Honami had the patience to guide her through each step without catching fire from her recklessness.

"Well," Lady Saki gulps from her teacup before continuing, "I think you did quite well, even if you think you couldn't without help. But, I would have liked it more if you invited me."

Inviting a noble lady, regardless of whether they're close friends or not, is too much of a shameless act to do.

"Ah... It might have been presumptuous to ask—"

"Nonsense!" The plates clatter from the lady's harsh impact on the table. "I cherish your company more than boring, old lectures. After all, Icchan is the bestest friend I could have! Cooking together is what friends do, is it not?"

"Y-Yes," Ichika stammers, feeling warmth crawling up her cheeks, "but it is still your duty to study as the duke's daughter and I would be disturbing you with my unimportant business."

Lady Saki's lips press into a thin line. "Even so, I want to spend time with you. And–and it makes me a little jealous that someone helped you cook other than me..." She admits in a shy whisper.

And doesn't that melt Ichika's heart even further. "My lady," she is given a pointed stare and she rectifies, "Saki, I would never replace your company with someone else's but as your personal guard, I must also prioritize your duties as an heiress." And your safety, she keeps to herself as she knows it will only upset her even more.

The title paired with her words deflates Lady Saki's resolve. It has been years since her brother's disappearance after the accident and months since she's been issued the duties in preparation for taking the family's mantle as duchess. The absence in their home has only made her clingier with each day that passes.

Ichika can only help her with so much, even if it means bringing cookies to their tea parties through her incredibly amateur culinary skills. "But I do have a secret."

"Secret?"

She smiles. "Yes. I also happened to hear that a particular tutor has taken an illness and that there might be a few vacant hours in place of someone's sessions. That's why, if it's no problem for Saki, would you..."

"Of course!" Expectedly, Lady Saki brightens as she clutches on her sleeves, rejuvenated. "We can also have a picnic by the fountain! I'll have the maids prepare everything, we can also play a couple of games and redecorate the gardens with ribbons and–"

"How about we plan it slowly, Saki?" She intervenes gently, knowing full well how passionate Lady Saki's tangents can be.

"Right, right. Let me grab some pen and paper from my bedroom." She says as she picks up her dress, already on her heels to run across the mansion's hallways.

"Calmly, Saki. Here," Ichika offers her arm, "allow me to accompany you."

A delightful giggle bursts from her friend's lips then she feels a gloved hand slide in place with her arm. Lady Saki turns a starry gaze at her.

"Shall we go, Ichika?"

Ichika complies with a content nod. At least this way she can alleviate enough of the worries and responsibilities Saki endures everyday. She can merely hope that everything will turn out well for both of their futures.

Of course, as life always is, it all goes downhill.

"Duke and Duchess Tenma have been assassinated. Young Lord Tsukasa remains missing and Lady Saki has not left her room for a week. What should we do, Hoshino-san?"

gonna give ya'll some food for thought before i go do school

so we all know pjsk has a kinda fucky timeline with stuff like repeating seasons in one year and stuff.

so that gave me an idea, pjsk timeloop but only the leaders are aware.

ichika happily walks into school only to be confused as to why shiho and honami are avoiding her again, and why saki isnt here

minori rushes up to the rooftop to practice with the rest of mmj only to find they're not there and is laughed at when she tries to explain she's an idol with haruka, shizuku, and airi

kohane returns to vivid street only to find weird glares and akito being mean to her again when she says she's An's partner. only for An to say she doesnt remember her

tsukasa returns to the wonderstage with a new script to discuss with the rest of his troupe, only to see emu there alone, mourning the potential loss of her dear stage

kanade logs onto nightcord to ask yuki for their lyrics, and is greeted with their fake, saccharine self
