Black Stranger

[star_of_sad]

A trap, isn't it...

[Setsuko is resting somewhere on the Chimera battleship, a sweet bun in her hands. It still tastes like nothing, because of the Sphere, which does not make her any happier. Not that she doesn't have bigger things to worry about.]

The Cambio Protocol will try to surround us and wipe us out. They'll probably bring in whatever allies they can find...

Call it intuition if you have to, but Asakim Dowen will be there. I know it.

...

[She recalls everything the Black Stranger did - how he killed her friends, tormented her. How he tried his hardest to save the world from an ancient god...]

I'm sorry Leos. It felt nice to do something for everyone but in the end...

In the end some people I just can't forgive. I still want vengeance.

I'm counting on them to do that. Hopefully they get desperate enough to call in everyone.

[His expression seems to turn to a slightly more worried one at Setsuko's latter statement. ]

...it's a hard thing to let go of, isn't it?

You don't need to apologize.

Some people are lucky enough that they can move past a deep tragedy. We saw that out there, or at least I'd like to hope we did.

Other people though... sometimes the world isn't so generous even after they learn the whole story. And there's nothing wrong with getting closure.

You and me both...

[After a pretty short while, she gets company in the form of Kei offering her a cup from tea from a thermos.]

I know it's not the same, but I thought the heat and smell would still be nice.
