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. . . ? ]

Mm.

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

[crossmyheartandhope]

...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?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[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.

[bondsofsuffering]

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

[Squeezing his hands back.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

I love you, Hizumi.

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

[bondsofsuffering]

Mm.

See you, Hurricane.

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