Here's how Hilda/Johanna and Phinium/Lydia can still talk to each other!

With the last fairy mound dissolved, how is this possible?

It begins with the watchtower crystals.

They allow the users to glimpse into the human world and observe specific individuals. They appear as silhoutted shadows to the targets. The observers can be seen, as shown in the ending.

Now, Victoria Van Gale has used these crystals in order to send out radio broadcasts back home. It's how Hilda knew about her father's stowaway state in the first place. Victoria has decided to stay in Fairy Country and there's no doubt she'll interact and get friendly with the locals, and that could include Phinium and Lydia.

See where I'm going with this?

Imagine...

Hilda remembered her promise to listen for Victoria Van Gale on the radio. As she set up the radio and listened, she heard about Van Gale's efforts to fix Fairy Country (and weather reports, of course). She thought, it was nice to do this without cracking ciphers for her disappeared dad or something.

One day, Phinium and Lydia used the crystals to check on their grandchild, and they saw her listening to Victoria's broadcasts. Getting an idea, they approached the former mad scientist and asked for a "special segment."

Hilda was sitting by the radio again when she heard a message.

"Before I sign off, a special shoutout to a dedicated listener: Hilda! If you're listening, as I know you are, I've been asked to invite YOU and your family to inspect your room for peculiar shadows. Your grandparents have a message for you."

Hilda turned on the lights and saw her grandparents' shadows. Overjoyed, she brought Johanna over and didn't give much context (it's a surprise!). As Johanna sat confused, they hovered by the radio as one final dialogue from Victoria came out before they'd hear very familiar voices:

"Thanks to these watchtower crystals, we can hear your replies—it's like a phone call! I'll see myself out, as I pass this over to Phinium and Lydia!"

The radio crackled as Hilda and Johanna looked at the shadows of their family that came before them, while Phiniun and Lydia looked at the illuminations of their family that came after.

You can imagine the conversation that transpired :)
