Something draws you back to reality, back to the battered and broken body you've left behind. Instinctively you know that it is not yet your time to fully shuff off the mortal coil.

Groaning, you open you eyes to see the four girls around you, the one you 'saved' actually crying and holding your head in her lap. And despite all the pain you're in, you wouldn't trade that moment for all the peace and tranquility of the afterlife. You smile up at her and manage to croak out, "Did we win?" before succumbing to the pain and blacking out again.

But this time there's no long tunnel towards light, but rather a long journey toward recovery.

You spend most of the next two months in the hospital, missing the start of school, but surrounded by friends - both old and new - and family.

Shiori Fujiwari, her name is. She may be in regular clothing, but you'd recognize the girl in silver an white regardless. Besides, she'd rather go by her real name with you than by her magical girl name of Love-Love White. Apparently the rest of the team was a little .. wary of her spending time with you in her normal guise, but eventually they come around, too. You're introduced to the cousin duo of Ayaka Hino and Mina Aono as well as the rough-and-tumble Midori Takeda.

You realize what a great trust they are placing in you, by revealing their everyday selves, and resolve yourself to live up to that trust. While you're on friendly terms with them all, something special develops between you and Shiori. More than just a friendship...
