[ic; goodbye and good night]

[is in the process of cleaning up all of his stuff]

Yuki-chan...

[hug time]

[yes all of the hugging please]

I made you a promise. Nothing is more important than that.

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.

Toko-chan . . .

If you got hurt because of me--

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

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

[shakes her head a little]

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

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

Definitely.

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

Eh?

To take to Tsukumo-kun.

Oh...

...I gave Luka a message earlier but can you give him a hug for me? And this--

[rummages around near her bed for a moment before handing him a tiny seashell on a string]

I found a bunch of these on the beach. I was going to make cell phone charms, but I'm not done yet...this is his though.
