[this evening you'll find Yuuki looking beyond the barrier

she reaches out to just barely graze through it with her fingertips]

[Passing by and... Wait. What?]

[sunshinescented]

[LOOKS PRETTY ABSORBED who knows how long she's been standing there]

[hunting]

[This is actually going to get a REACTION from me.]

... Yuuki.

[sunshinescented]

[jerks her hand back and turns]

--Z-Zero.

[hunting]

How soon... ?

[sunshinescented]

. . . I don't know. Not very long.

This time though . . . I don't want to leave before saying goodbye.

[hunting]

[No. I am not feeling things right now... But going very still...]

... To the president.

[sunshinescented]

Him too.

[hunting]

... Why?

I'll have to return some day too. And it'll be like no time has passed.

[daddyderpest]

[. . . what is this]

[daddyderpest]

Yuuki?

[sunshinescented]

. . . ah. Uhm.

It . . . looks like it's my turn.

[daddyderpest]

Your turn?

... Oh. Oh, I see.

[sunshinescented]

[so what if I just

step forward and hide my face in your shirt

is that okay]

. . . sorry . . . I'm sorry . . .

[daddyderpest]

[then you'll get loving headpats]

I know it's not Yuuki's fault.

[sunshinescented]

I--I'm going to work hard to make things right at home, okay? Everything you've taught me about vampires and humans . . . those ideals are still in my heart.

[daddyderpest]

I believe in your ability to lead both vampires and humans to a better future! Father is so proud of you.

[meanstoabeginning]

Did you see something?

[sunshinescented]

Ebi--I just . . . for some reason I thought that this time I would be able to get through.

[meanstoabeginning]

...is it that time then?

[sunshinescented]

I think so.

[meanstoabeginning]

You're worried.

[sunshinescented]

M-mn, a little . . .

[meanstoabeginning]

And you'll miss them.

[sunshinescented]

Yes . . . but I know I'm leaving them in good hands.
