Ryou-kun really did go home... I wonder, if he's okay. Everything I learned about the Ring Spirit, what if he hurts him? I really wanted to help him but in the end...

[ pause ]

I don't like feeling like this. Allen-kun said I make people happy but memories can be erased easily he-- no.

[ what are you saying uru? ]

No.

I can't think like that. I won't let anything happen to them. Maybe he'll come back. I'll work hard everyday for the sake of their happiness and protect my friends in a way I can only do.

I'm not going to break any more promises!

[ minato-kun ]

Hey!

[ shindou-san ]

[ dictated in excitement ]

Shindou-san, I need you!

[ ryou-kun ]

Jeez, I'm rushing and forgetting about someone important.

Maybe if you come back one day, you'll see this. But... I wanted to say thank you for your friendship and everything. I still have the Duel Monsters cards, too! Thanks for teaching me about it, I'll try to get better at the game so if you do come return, I'll finally be able to beat you.

I-- I hope you'll be okay back home.

Has there ever been a wedding here before? The people in the city get married but since I've been here I've never once seen any of the residents get married. Isn't that great though? Having someone you love. It's so romantic~

...I bet she's pretty, too.

Today's a good day!

[ castiel-san ]

Are you there?

I've been to a couple weddings here...[FLASHES BACK TO THE ONE WITH SASUKE AND INO. OH GOD OH GOD]

So this really isn't the first. Who got married?

Well, my friend Nia when she was here got married to her lover Simon. It was a rather nice wedding, I was very happy for them.

And then there was another wedding that...oh well, it was a loss and didn't end very well so I'm not sure if I should be saying names.

That so--

Was it between Crowley-san and Bad Girl?

Eh?

Oh no, that was something else. I never attended that wedding.

Are those people still here though? They can't divorce...

One of them is...but don't worry! We broke up the wedding before they said "I do" so they're okay!

That's good but really weird. I wonder why these losses happen. I thought at first they were to teach us lessons but it doesn't seem like that at all.

I'm not sure, the castle probably simply finds them entertaining.

Speaking of... are your wings gone?

Ah...yeah they are! They went away awhile ago thankfully.

Aww... but they were nice.

Maybe a lot of people thought so...but it's a lot easier not having them.

Maybe you'll get ears for your next loss. Rabbit ears! Or something.

[a sheepish laugh]

Rabbit ears sounds something that would be better fitted for Lavi. Since Kanda is always calling him a Rabbit...

Lavi-kun doesn't look like a rabbit to me... [ more like a pirate, heh ]

Oh-- Kanda-san is normal again?

He doesn't to me either, but that's what Kanda calls him.

Mm, he is. [sounds a bit more serious about that; since yeah lot of heavy shit came out of that loss]

[ senses that and is silent for a minute ]

I didn't mean to pry... and I know it isn't my place but...

You shouldn't give up. I don't know why the people you work for did those things to Kanda-san and Alma but I'm sure someone like you can change everything and make the Order a safer place for kids.

Uru....

[a pause]

You don't have to worry about prying or something not being your place. But it's all right....Marie said those experiments were stopped.

And...while I'm not sure how much influence I would have in the Order, I know Komui would never allow things like that to happen again. He has stopped a lot of terrible things that the Order used to do.

You never know until you try, right? And I think even one person standing up for what he believes is making a difference. But I'm glad those experiments are over with.

And I won't tell anyone about this. Promise.

Ah, I suppose so...[except when said person is a host to a Noah and probably the least trusted person in the Order EVER]

Thank you...I appreciate that a lot. I'm sorry you had to deal with all that.
