Moon hadn't found any leads on Proxima in a full week. It was as if she was dead which was why she eventually started to suspect Venus had been tricking her all along. But then again Mercury wasn't the type to say or use his powers for absolutely no reason. He likely wouldn't have lied, and now that she thought about it, there was no real reason for Ae and Phae to have killed anyone. That, of course, didn't change the fact that Proxima was nowhere to be found. She had died the same time Terra was born, disappearing with her host planet. Moon was currently sitting on an overstuffed, studded armchair in her cluttered house, curled up with multiple blankets over her. There was a steaming mug of tea in her hands.

"If only Terra was Proxima.. things would be so much easier…"

Then Moon's eyes shot open. 

What if Terra was Proxima? It would have explained everything - hiding as a planet, never meeting the Sun, never letting Moon herself come anywhere near the sun. Was it because Terra had been afraid of getting caught by the Sun? 

Then… Proxima had been under their noses all along, but she didn't remember things anymore. 

"What do I do with this information… right back where I started…" Moon sighted, leaning back into her chair. Everything was so… hopeless, wasn't it? If Terra remembered, everything was over. She'd wrangle Moon with her own hands for making her take the oath. If she didn't remember, Saturn would die, and with no one to hold off the sun, she would likely come for Moon first. 

One week. 

She had one week to sort things out or die trying. 

Moon stood up, suddenly making a decision and stretching. 

"Someone get Ae. I want to see if we can work things out. Aqua?"
