[is coming down the stairs; sees the suitcase, sees Souji, and does the math]

... ah...

[hardlyboy]

A thought that has given me a considerable amount of frustration over the-- years? It has been years now, hasn't it.

[loltruth]

Yeah, it has.

[hardlyboy]

... I don't know when I'll see you again.

[loltruth]

But you will. You know that much, right?

[hardlyboy]

I intend to, of course.

[loltruth]

Then you don't have to worry about it.

[hardlyboy]

It isn't that I'm worried, necessarily, it's that I... well, I suppose it's not important.

[loltruth]

If there's something you want to say ...

[hardlyboy]

...

It's pointless to wait until later to say it. Very well. I'm grateful for the time we've spent together-- not just in our accomplishments and in trying to discern the Truth, but in everything we did. I will miss you, senpai.

[there's a hint of a smile on his lips, and though a little undignified, then he pulls her into a hug]

[fjkslg;'hlk!?]

S-Senpai?

[a-a little caught off-guard...]

[loltruth]

[letting go smoothly]

Are you going to be okay? With that person playing games with you?

[hardlyboy]

[recovery!!!]

--yes, I believe so. They're hindered at the moment, and that gives me some time to better prepare myself. I won't do anything reckless, but I won't allow myself to be toyed with any longer.
