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

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

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

[sunshinescented]

Haa, I try really hard to be.

[meanstoabeginning]

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

[sunshinescented]

. . . okay.

[meanstoabeginning]

I was really happy to meet Yuuki too.

*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?

[sunshinescented]

A-ah . . .

[AND HERE COME THE TEARS but trying to smile up at Ebi through them as best she can]

O-okay. Okay . . . I promise. I--I'll look forward to it!

*Wipes her face. That's my girl |DDD*

I'll send Zero with a scrapbook for you, okay? That way it'll be like you got to be here too.

I wonder if he'll even let me near it if you put in any embarrassing photos.

[meanstoabeginning]

I'll just have to make him give me his word he'll let you have it.

[sunshinescented]

Heh, if anyone could do it . . . !

[meanstoabeginning]

He's very sweet to listen to me.

[sunshinescented]

Mn . . . he really respects and trusts you.

[meanstoabeginning]

I'm still not quite sure why. He's pretty hard to win over, afterall.
