It is late at night and Maya feels hopeless.

Ever since the trial, she has been sitting alone in her cold prison cell, wishing she had the love of her life near to keep her warm.

She doesn't blame Rio for telling her father the truth at all. It would've been hard to hide the truth, but she wishes that there was a way Rio could've told her that the king knew the truth. Just so she didn't have to lie and embarrass herself in front of everyone.

Maya starts to sob loudly as she tackle hugs the former princess, nearly making them both fall over.

"Shh!" Rio shushes her. "I know you're emotional, but you need to be quiet," she whispers. "We cannot risk being caught."

"J-Just shut up already..." Maya whispers and presses her lips against Rio's in a burst of passion. They are both so grateful that they got to kiss once again.

Rio cries as well, continuing to hold Maya close, leaving no space between them. She keeps her hands on her waist, so glad she was able to pull this off.

"H-How did you get in here?" Maya whispers once their lips separate. "This place
