[ Ryoko's eyes on the other hand, start watering again. She can feel tears distorting her vision, and she tries to blink them away. ]

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.

[Yuuto slowly picks himself up again, wiping his face as he does. This talk didn’t end how he wanted, but he’s not going to ask for that miracle. His heart is broken, but that’s fine. Being whole was a luxury.

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.]

[ "Please don't forget me."

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. ]
