...I see. Have you seen Hotsuma and Shusei yet?

[xxgirlfriend]

Hotsuma-kun just got here.

[keepspromises]

Good, hopefully Shusei will be here soon too. If they missed you...that'd be terrible.

[xxgirlfriend]

The letter said that wouldn't happen! Not . . . not if we did what we were supposed to.

[keepspromises]

What you were supposed to?

[xxgirlfriend]

Be ready to leave, and not fight.

[keepspromises]

Oh...I'm--glad you can say goodbye then. We wouldn't want you to risk something happening to you if you resisted.

[xxgirlfriend]

But now that we've seen you, we can fight!

[keepspromises]

--Yuki-chan?!

[xxgirlfriend]

I'm not going to just give up, and neither is Luka!

[keepspromises]

But I don't want either of you to get hurt.

[xxgirlfriend]

It's all right. Luka would never let that happen.

[keepspromises]

I know, but--you don't have to risk it.

[xxgirlfriend]

. . . no, I think it's worth it.

[keepspromises]

Yuki-chan...

[hug time]

[xxgirlfriend]

[yes all of the hugging please] I made you a promise. Nothing is more important than that.

[keepspromises]

Thank you, but to me you're even more important. Of course I want to stay with you, but if it really does get dangerous...please go. I know I'll see you again so--I don't want to put you in danger.

[xxgirlfriend]

Toko-chan . . .

[keepspromises]

If you got hurt because of me--

[chokes up a little, burrowing deeper into the hug]

[xxgirlfriend]

. . . but that's how I feel too. I don't want you to hurt because we're gone.

[keepspromises]

[shakes her head a little]

...I'll be fine! I promise. Because we'll see each other again.

[xxgirlfriend]

. . . mm. No matter what happens, we'll definitely be together again.

[keepspromises]

Definitely.

[xxgirlfriend]

. . . Toko-chan. Just in case . . . is there anything we should pack from you?

[keepspromises]

Eh?
