Who: Nemesis, Hurricane, you!
Where: ?Somewhere?
When: Day 496

[ The sound of an engine roars through the city, unfamiliar to any of you. What is that—? That thing, flying in the sky—Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Or—

Is it a giant mech adorned with naginatas and a shield, flying through Tokyo-F at great speed? Is it Hurricane and Nemesis, coming to say their goodbyes? Or is it the sound of their departure. . . ? ]

Yeah.

[He ducks his head, a little -- presses a soft kiss to Izanagii's neck, barely a brush of lips]

...yeah. Sorry.

Don't apologize for escaping.

[He forces a smile, one hand combing idly through Hurricane's hair.]

It's your turn to shine. Maybe you'll even convince them you can fly - with or without a mech.

[He leans into it, as readily as he always has -- lets his eyes flutter closed]

Hey -- for all they know, I already can.

Get enough belief so you can do it for real. If we meet again in this place, I wanna see your best superhero flying, you hear?

When. Not if.

And you better show off your new stuff, too.

We'll see. There aren't too many chances to cure illness around here.

It'll come around again, I'm sure.

You'd think this place was sterile considering how rare it is.

Dude, right? I only been sick like a couple times since I been here.

Mm.

...But for now, I guess we should say our goodbyes.

...yeah.

I guess so.

[A hand reaches to catch Hurricane's. They can hold on until it's time to go, right?]

Make sure it's only "see you later," okay?

[He takes hold and squeezes, tight -- takes hold with his other hand, too]

'Course it's only see you later.

You ain't getting rid of me that easy.

Like I'd ever get rid of someone so precious.

[Squeezing his hands back.]

I love you, Hizumi.

I'll see you soon as I can, okay?

Mm.

See you, Hurricane.

[That glimmer of hope is so, so small. But he'll try to keep it alive.]
