Dione in the Asphodel Bibliotheca now has the realization with the memories of all the lives she went through so far, noticing all the times Charon's feelings were anything but subtle, noticing how kind he was always towards her, noticing that he actually loved her all along, which also helps her recontextualize the time Charon went to visit her in the hospital in her first life, as she now finally understands what he was talking about there.
At some point during a later visit, Charon does eventually bring up: "I... I thought maybe just trying something with Coeus would lead to romance but... I guess I was wrong about taking this approach... I... understand now that... feelings should be the base of what is built as opposed to... feelings being the goal." Dione interprets this as Charon potentially hoping to get together with Coeus, though can't quite make sense of it since... why would Charon tell her about it? Well, she is too much in pain to think about this thoroughly anyway. Charon continues to talk: "Dione, I... You see, I... Look, the reason I went for Coeus at that time was... I was just... ugh... Being actually honest was the more awkward feeling option there, you know?... I just knew, when I saw you for the first time, I... ugh, it's even tough to admit now..."
It has never been about Coeus for Charon. It was always about her. She finally understands this now, many lives later. Noticing the look on Dione's face, Persephone remarks: "Ah, she finally gets it.", then adding, "I'm sorry, I just felt like that's something you had to understand on your own rather than simply being told about it by me." Dione has no reason to be angry at Persephone for that as that reasoning makes sense to her, with the female anthro moth now knowing exactly what kind of life she wants to choose next.

Part 7 - Marriage
(Now playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7kWBXMlfOQ)
The five magician siblings get to a location with lots of rings, from normal sizes to gigantic and anything in between, to traverse through. Ace is already there to add another obstacle for the sake of potentially causing conflict between the siblings: "Looks like it's time for the next turn, ladies and gentlemen, what will the meowgician put in their way this time? I hope I got your curiousity because I'm about to reveal exactly that, hehehe!", now rolling out a dancefloor like from a dance club as if it's just a carpet, with the music I linked to for this scene also audible to the characters now specifically for the duration of this obstacle. Spade winks at his brother Heart as he asks him in a flirty manner: "May I have this dance?" "Guys, focus.", Diamond just wants to get this over with. Though they quickly have to figure out that if any of them are not staying in rhythm with the music while moving across this dancefloor, all of them get pushed right back to the start of it. Ace knows: "Hehe... A dance, how fun, but this should be expected to be a more difficult task for the clumsy one among those oh so great magician siblings. Is their failure hereby inevitable? We'll just have to wait and see but... hehe, I surely hope so."
Indeed, Jolly's clumsiness causes the siblings to fail at progressing through this a bunch of times. Once they finally get through this obstacle, Ace then expects them to get angry or at least annoyed by one of Jolly's flaws to cause them such trouble, but just like with Heart and Club, as Club now speaks for all of them: "You did great. Especially you, Jolly, I know how much more tricky it must have been for you, so I'm proud of you!" "Awww th-thanks...", Jolly is all flustered from the praise. Heart agrees: "Yeah, don't worry about being clumsy... w-we wouldn't change a thing about you, our brother..." No annoyance or anger aimed at him at all, not even from Diamond, so instead it's just Ace getting frustrated: "Aaahh not again!! If I'd be someone who swears, I'd surely do so now, this is so.... argh, frustrating!", whether that's specifically because his plans keep failing or something else.

Dione now experiences a life in which her choices will lead to her getting together with Charon, now that she knows that he is the one who always loved her without her ever realizing it, just because she was too focused on trying to be romantically together with her best friend Coeus, something that was never supposed to work out.
"Hey there, name's Charon.", he introduces himself to the two anthro moths, "Your vibrant colors are very eye-catching, in a good way. S-So uhhhh.... anyway uhh..." "And suddenly he stammers.", Coeus comments, "What's making you shy, crocodile boy? Never seen a cute femboy like me before?" Charon oddly pauses for a bit as if thinking about his next move, before then answering: "Uhh... sure, would you want to have some fun? You know what kind.", something we now know was him trying to have some excuse or way to stick around in the hopes of getting to be with Dione eventually. But for now, expectedly, Dione passes up the opportunity of losing her virginity to this, though nonetheless, the two moths stay in contact with the crocodile because of this encounter.

Dione visits Charon at his home on Planet Chronotytonida where things still start out purely as friendship at first, as they play some card games and watch TV together. As they end up catching a romance movie that way, Charon notices a longing look in Dione's eyes, so that he simply asks her: "Is something on your mind?" Dione almost just lies that she's fine, just so Coeus couldn't possibly find out about her feelings towards her fellow moth and best friend. But she reconsiders that choice this time, the choice of lying because of how focused she has been on Coeus.
Instead, this life here includes her choosing to respond with the truth, even if hesitantingly: "You and I don't know each other for long yet but... well... you see, uh... I... I have feelings for Coeus... and I essentially know it'll likely never come true, as otherwise it would have already come true with how much time Coeus and I spend with each other..." Charon, due to actually having feelings for Dione, reacts by being comforting: "I think... Coeus makes for a great friend to you. But you shouldn't focus this much on wanting to be with him. I don't want you to get hurt from the potential hopelessness of it... and you're such... you're such lovely girl, I'm sure uhh someone out there would love you back. Maybe it just... won't be Coeus." Dione realizes that she somehow never even considered anyone else, not in this life after all, because of being so focused on someone she can't have. "You... make some good points.", Dione admits, "Thank you, Charon. I appreciate the aid.", smiling at the reptile just a little.

On a different day, Charon and Dione are at one of the beaches of Dione's home planet Hetrocera's, where Dione decides to bring up: "You know... I had a friend here. Her name was Higeki, I got along with her really well as a child, but... her life was cut short not long afterwards... It is however thanks to her... that I really began to see the beauty of the ocean, how fascinating it and the life in it is." "Heh, yeah, the ocean certainly is something admirable. Terrifying to some, but I personally like it too." So as the two of them stay on this beach for a bit, they both simply enjoy that view, without anyone else at the beach to bother them. Though unbeknownst to them, Pallas is nearby, just far enough out of sight for them to not be noticed, the black goblin talking someone out of going to that spot on that beach right now, clearly aiding Charon and Dione as he can tell how much healthier it would be for her than if she'd focus on someone she can't be with in this manner. Charon ends up taking the chance to hold Dione's paw here, with her at first almost pulling away, but then remembering his words regarding how much she wouldn't regard anyone else as an option besides Coeus, so that she ends up letting Charon, starting to think that maybe she should just give this a chance.
