[ ... Somewhere, in the silence, there are two souls. One human, one only partly so--but human enough to exist. Within the reach of the eternal Goddess of the Night, protecting her, in return, her protecting them.
This was their sanctuary, where only they could be.
From it, they could see everything.
It had only been a few months since that fateful day that he had thought was not stoppable. Where Minato has sacrificed his body for his friends. And now... now, after watching them slowly devolve into fighting over the past and the present. Watching them like this... obviously neither was happy about it. Ryoji regarded the 'sky' (it was not a sky, for this was a simple illusion of an existing place; in reality, it was nothingness, and though their bodies were intangible, things felt real enough), and he felt more comfort from the presence he knew was nearby, the very same.
... She was his 'mother,' after all. The landscape was almost indescribable to the normal person. You could reach out and touch the stars here. This was the gift they'd been given for their work. Where they could simply... rest, and observe. Ryoji knew Minato was restless, however, with good reason. Perhaps... he could comfort him? ]
... They won't really fight. They're friends, aren't they, Minato-kun...?
