She answers from the hallway, still in her nightgown:"GOOOOD MOOOORNING MY EIGHT LITTLE SUNSHINES!"

NOW YOU'RE OURS FOREVER!" Lysithea pretends to struggle, but soon surrenders and stays there in the middle of the pile of children, laughing and crying at the same time. Joker whispers in her ear, just for her to hear:"You're already ours forever, okay? We're just reminding you." Lysithea squeezes everyone tighter.
