[Death walks over and sits next to her.]

I'M SORRY.

[Even if he hadn't been there for her when she passed on. He hopes she has found peace.]

[strike_you_out]

[Sitting on Death's other side.]

Do you think she's dead for good?

[likescats]

I BELIEVE SO.

[strike_you_out]

[So then it is possible to die here.]

Grady... He must have done something.

[likescats]

GRADY?

[strike_you_out]

Yes. I was watching them last night. He took her away and they disappeared.

[And before he could take a bat to her, too. Shame.]

[likescats]

DID HE.... DID YOU HEAR WHAT THEY WERE SAYING?

[strike_you_out]

Not well. But she shouted at him that he betrayed them all.

[likescats]

HOW ODD.

[strike_you_out]

[Slugger peers past Death at the body at rest.]

She looks... calm.

[likescats]

SHE DOES.

HOPEFULLY SHE'S MOVED ON.

Won't she be back?

[likescats]

PERHAPS.

...THOUGH I DO NOT THINK SO.

[Just...a little more weary then normal. He looks over at the woman.]

[doudemoe]

[Minato himself says nothing, head lowered as he looks her.

She looks so...peaceful.]

[likescats]

[Sitting quietly then.]

[doudemoe]

[A moment of silence passes.]

...We can't just leave her like this.
