Forte and Final Installment of Lost Humanity

[silvernblues]

The repairs Dr. Hikari had done his code seemed to have done some good after all. Or perhaps the Nexus had just been kind. But things had settled down now that Dr. Ohata had been arrested, allowing Blues to feel comfortable enough to leave Enzan from time to time. This most recent time, he had tried entering the Nexus again, and this time had been

Enzan stopped himself in mid yawn and looked down at Blues. Even though he was finally getting some more sleep now that the threat was taken care of, Enzan was still finding himself tired in the mornings.

"Oh. Yeah, sure. That's a good idea." He offered a soft smile, gave a quick glance at his watch, and started heading for Dr. Hikari's office.

"Have any big projects today?"

"Not that I am aware of," Blues replied. He returned the smile. It was nice to be able to come to work without worrying about who his attacker had been and if he was going to try again. "But I was speaking with someone in the Nexus and would like to pass on some of his suggestions to Dr. Hikari."

Dr. Hikari was in his office, and he looked up when Enzan came in. "Enzan. Blues." The smile he offered them was more than warm. It was actually rather excited. "Just the two I wanted to see. I have great news!"

"I see."

Enzan relaxed a bit from Blues' comment but Dr. Hikari's greeting when they entered his office, startled him and made him freeze a bit.

Everything that I've tested it on so far, I've managed to transfer to and from my computer."

Blues' heart - or whatever passed for one in navi code - lifted at this news, but Dr. Hikari went on before he could say anything. "Before your hopes get too high, let me just warn you that I haven't tested the device on any humans. I can't guarantee that it will bring you back."

"But you will try?" Blues didn't care if there was a danger that it might not work, or even a risk that it might harm him. If there was a chance that his humanity could be restored, he was going to take it.

Dr. Hikari looked at Blues seriously. "If you want me to," he said. "I have the device right here."

Blues glanced at Enzan. "Enzan-sama?"
