"Oh my... Elicchi, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Nozomi whispered to her good friend.
"I... I think I am... But should we really do this? I feel rather sorry for them..." Eli whispered back, looking down at the specks on the floor that were once her friends and fellow idols.
"We'll never have to be without them again... And we can keep them close to us always~ Don't you want to at least see if we can make this work in our favor?" Nozomi reasoned, like a tiny devil on Eli's shoulder.
"B-but... Hmm... If we keep them close, we'll never have to worry about them. We can always take care of them, look after them, be their beloved guardians and senpai... Look at them, how small they are. Would doctors even know what to do if we brought them to a hospital?" Eli lowered her attention to the still scrambling specks at her feet.
Nozomi giggled devilishly. "No, nobody must know about this. Our friends would be taken away from us... Let's keep them to ourselves and maybe, if they're lucky, they can grow back someday. None of us knows how this happened, all I can think of is that our prayers were indeed answered, but in a way neither of us expected..."
"Our... prayers?" Eli peered down at the shrunken girls, still shouting inaudible little squeaks at her. They were so adorable, Eli couldn't help but curl her lips into a playful smile and coo. "You poor things... Us big girls will take care of you all... Come with us, we have lots of preparations to do~" Eli whispered softly down to the bug-sized school idols.
None of the conversation was lost on the shrunken girls. Nozomi and Eli's whispers were fully audible, earth shaking rumbles to them. Honoka and the others panicked at how this situation had developed without any of their input. How was any of this real!? Nozomi and Eli prayed for this somehow!? While Nico and Maki shouted various profanities up at the pair, Hanayo and Umi couldn't help but cry in terror. Honoka, Kotori, and Rin simply couldn't comprehend the situation, and held their hands and bodies together in a group hug.
"It looks like you're all coming with us to college after all... Muse can still be together forever~!" Nozomi gave a hearty cheer. Both graduate girls gave each other devious smiles before deciding to scoop up their former compatriots. The seven tiny girls were captured in Eli and Nozomi's warm palms before being placed somewhere else to be taken home...
