The Last Shadow[]
Sometime between 3165 AX and 3168 AX, Airi met Cincinnatus Delphiki and married him. Cincinnatus bought her a house and several apartments for her to rent out and gain an income. She gave birth to the twins Dysprosium and Lanthanum in 3168 AX, and later gave birth to Thulium in 3169. Even though Cincinnatus insisted on giving them strange names, Airi thought it was worth it to have the children in her life. They lived as a family for three weeks, when Cincinnatus and his siblings kidnapped their children and took them aboard the relatavistic starship Herodotus, only sending a text message as goodbye. However, depsite this evil act, Airi never remarried. The widow Wiggin was well known for her charitable works and her kind treatment of her tenants.[1]
In 3180 AX, Cincinnatus and his siblings were Detoured back to Nokonoshima to reuinite with their spouses. They called a meeting but Cincinnatus did not attend. The Delphikis asked their spouses to leave Nokonoshima and go to Lusitania with them to see their children, but they all three refused. They questioned how they had arrived instantaneously and did not forgive them for stealing their children. Airi learned that Cincinnatus was on Nonokoshima with the twins. After talking a bit more, however, Yuuto agreed to go back with them, as he thought the children needed a father figure, but he did not say he would forgive Carlotta.[1]
Eventually the other spouses agreed to go to Lusitania, but Airi decided to remain on Nokonoshima after seeing her sons Lanth and Dys. However, soon after Thulium came to Nokonoshima on her own and met with Airi, and they talked for hours and had dinner together.[1]
