N-no... not that many... it was never that many...

It will stop. I promise it will. The killing will stop. It's gone. Burried in the lake...

STOP COUNTING! STOP, DAMNIT!

I SAID STOP IT!!!

-There is a loud crash as Tir is obviously destroying the walls of his own apartment-

...where's Kazuki. please tell me...

...

-He gingerly wraps his arms around her as well. He had been speculating if... if these would be the people he killed in the future. If these were the souls that his Rune would devour...

But here, it was gone. He didn't have to shoulder that burden. He began to cry...-

...

[She doesn't say a word. There's nothing to say, really-- all she can do is offer him the only method of comfort that she can.]

-Familiar words echoed in his mind. Leknaat's words. He couldn't change fate, and he'd been cast a cruel hand. This was only temporary. Kazuki, Sakura, Kio, Riou, all of them... they would all be gone and he'd be back to serving the Rune. He couldn't bear this... this staggering truth-

[And then it comes to her. Her one unbeatable phrase--]

No matter how bad things seem, surely everything will be alright.

...

-He looks at her, slowly mouthing the words himself-

Surely... everything will be... alright...

It is not that anyone has forgotten, Tir. No one has any right to judge you in that capacity.

If I can be forgiven, you can as well.

That's... that's still too many Tir! Something's messing with you!? You couldn't have killed... **Sorry, but Riou doesn't quite grasp that HUGE number right there... the scribbling makes it look like it's somewhere off beyond the millions**

Come on Tir! Get ahold of yourself!

Your actions had a foreseeable end.

Mine do not.

Eventually, I will leave this place. I will leave you, Kazuki, Miss Sakura, and everyone else. And I'll go back to my world and I will have the Rune once more. And I will continue to walk the earth as its bearer, subject to its will, from here to the evermore...

Riou... This is my fate. When I leave this place, the number will just keep growing...

**Riou grabs him by the collar.** TIR! GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!

[She slowly nods. Things would be alright... Right? They had to be.]

-Tir just stares at him blankly. Are the words really getting through to him?-

-He nods as well, looking down at his hand. He flexes the fingers with a wince, finally starting to feel the associated pain-

...Thank you.

I-I'm just glad that I could help, Tir-san...

You're such a strong person, Sakura... stronger than many adults...

[...]

T-Th-Thank you...

You... shouldn't stay here long. Surely your brother is... worried.

It-It's okay. He knows that I'm not hurt.

[I'm worried about you, sir.]

Not...completely. Being compelled to fight the same War until I attained what it is I sought...well, I was never certain that would ever end.

Tir! Snap out of it! **Riou drops his tonfa and gives the former commander a good smack**

Please... I think I'll be okay.

I see... then that makes us more alike than I had thought.

-The punch is well enough to knock Tir over. He remains on the floor on the second before looking up at Riou, a bit confused-

...

[She holds out her pinky.]

Promise?
