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

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

Oh?

Yup.

I think they'll be okay . . . but they're both pretty bad about opening up. I can leave it to you to be sure to pester them once in a while, right?

Of course. You know I couldn't leave them alone.

[leans against]

Thank you.

*Wrapping her arms around to give a proper hug*

You don't have to thank me. I'd do it without being asked even. Is someone going to look over you while you're there though? They won't want you to worry about them, you know.

. . . I'm not really sure what I'm going back to, but I've been lucky enough to have people who have continued to stand by me.

And they should know by now that I'll always worry for them. I swear Zero would just eat noodles every day and never buy any new clothes if he was left alone.

That sounds like him.

Everyone here will miss you, of course. I'm sad I didn't get to prepare a goodbye gift.

[shakes her head]

I've always . . . been a little awed at how strong and kind wonderful you are. I'm just really happy to have gotten the chance to get to know you, Ebi.

Awed? That's sweet, but you're just as strong in your own ways. Stronger probably.

Haa, I try really hard to be.

You're doing well. Give yourself some more credit, okay?

. . . okay.

I was really happy to meet Yuuki too.

[o-oh. not!mom-in-law ///

J-JUST. HUGS . . . ]

*The best Ebi hugs for you. Petting her hair and laughing a bit.*

I really hope I'm able to see you again... And then, hopefully, you'll be able to tell me lots and lots of wonderful news. I'll have my fingers crossed... No matter what though, it will all work out. No matter how hard it gets, there's something good waiting for you. I can feel it.

So can you promise me the next time I see you, you'll greet me with a smile? And if I don't see you again, know I won't forget you, all right?
