[ She wanted to say that she can relate. She was happy that Fauna opened up to her, happy that Fauna shared her true name with her. But then, it dawned on her. As conflicted as she was, as much as she said that she loved her and cared about her...
...she didn't know a thing about Taiga's life. She knew vaguely of her friends, very vaguely of the guy she liked, but nothing else. Not where she went to school, how much she cared about them, what they did, or even her wish. Why they had met in the first place.
It hadn't dawned on her how much it hurt until now. ]
It's not peace we're looking for. I think it's better for you two to spend a little time apart for sure, but don't think that none of us want to see you again. Inaba-san included. If she's lonely, then she'll look for you when you get back.
...you have to come back some day. If it's a different Yuuto, then I'll accept him, but...
[ Short supply.
Screw that. ]
It's a miracle that Aisaka-san and I met again. I'm going to believe we'll meet again too.
no subject
He nods.]
Yeah. I love her so much. That’s part of me now.
[Ryoko seems worried about him not coming back. Maybe too worried, even. He reaches out blindly for her hand, clumsy in his effort to take it.]
Mm. I won’t really be gone, right? I have a lot of love inside of me now… And I have to come back. Some people here want to go home.
I was being dramatic earlier, but… [Yuuto looks down at his other hand, as he tries to guard his ruined soul.] I do have a way to create a miracle in an instant. I always looked at this as a curse, but maybe it’s both. I could be both.
no subject
[ As he tries to reach out, she... guides her hand towards his grasp, sighing. ]
When you're ready, please come find me. Tell me more about how you feel, and I'll tell you more about me. We'll work through this together. I'll make sure that you never disappear, and we'll save this world together.
no subject
They are the same. They’re both disasters that are waiting to be born, aren’t they? Yuuto doesn’t want that for Ryoko, especially now that she’s beginning to settle into the happiness that she deserves.
He nods slowly in agreement.]
I’ll keep you here. I’ll protect you.
Please… Please, be good to Inaba for me. Take care of her. She’s really kind. She’s trying so hard to bring everyone home and protect this world at once. [Yuuto opens his eyes again and finds that his vision is returning. It’s blurry, but it’s enough.]
I’m going to go. I need to tell Akutagawa… Can you… nnn…
[Yuuto finally realizes that he keeps asking for Ryoko’s help. His grip on her hand tightens.]
Will Fauna-chan look after you?
no subject
I will. I'll try. I'll do my best.
[ Yuuto doesn't blame her. Would Inaba? Either way... it won't stop her from blaming herself. ]
Yeah. She'll be with me. Yuuto-- I'll stay here. I'll look after Satou and Shugo. Fauna and Aisaka-san will watch over me.
[ Ryoko thinks to say goodbye. But, she doesn't. Instead opting for... ]
...I'll see you later.
no subject
As Yuuto lowers his hands again, he breaths in. Then smiles as much as he can.]
Mm! See you later! I love you, Asakura! Please don’t forget me… Be happy!
[Then he turns and disappears.]
no subject
Idiot.
Ryoko watches his figure disappear, unable to move before she finally takes the opportunity to break down, to let herself freely cry like she wanted.
This wasn't fair. She knows she did something wrong, and now she has to pick up the pieces.
...But. That was the curse that came with being a magi. Lives were always on the line, and now she took on greater responsibilities than before. When she's done, she loudly claps her cheeks to build up her determination. She can do this. ]
...I love you too, Yuuto.
[ Belatedly, she speaks to no one... and she takes off, herself. ]
