[The Chimera are no more. Their massive force is beaten, Asakim has finally been killed for real, and the driving force behind it all - Jii Edel, has been cast out. And now, the one pilot who was in the epicenter of it all, constantly harassed and tormented just to awaken her Sphere... Setsuko Ohara has no more strength to do anything but sit under the Virgola, staring up at the peaceful night sky.]
It's over, it's finally over. Jii Edel mentioned so much, Black History... it looks like alternate universes weren't faring much better than this one. And, it looks like I played right into Asakim Dowen's hands all along. To think all he really wanted was to die...
But...

But it's all over now. That... that's all that matters.
[Unable to control herself, Setsuko cries tears of relief.]

Sorry, I promised myself not to cry, but...

[Selena was pre-occupied on another front, but with the chaos over and done with she made her way back to the Virgola and Setsuko as soon as she could.]
And now, he won't be able to hurt anyone ever again. And the same with that... "Jii" Edel.

I don't know what he was hoping to achieve, but I'm glad it's over with.

If the Captain were still alive, he'd probably have something poetic to say about a man like that. Oh, something like... "Some men want to burn down the world... some men want to watch others burn it down for them."
And Jii wanted to burn down more than just one.

[What a terrifying idea.]

Our Jii's gone though thanks to you, and he was trying to merge worlds. Maybe what happened to him got copied over to all the others.
But even if they weren't... we're still all here, aren't we? And we wouldn't be if even one of them would've gotten his way.

[Unexpectedly, to himself especially, Willis came out of the final fight against Chimera alive and in one piece thanks to Setsuko and in a strange twist of fate, her Sphere.
It didn't take him too long to find Setsuko and take a seat next to her under the Virgola.]

[Seta fumbles for a bit while trying to put one of her earrings back on.
She recognizes the relief in Setsuko's tone, and she's glad, but after all that...]
...What will you do about the Sphere?
If these other worlds are involved...would others besides Jii be looking for them as well?

But, a long time ago - I mean, what feels like a long time ago, I had to make a choice...
From:
no subject
[It is indeed a long time ago for her, but she doesn't mention that.]
What choice is that?
From:
no subject
No. I chose not to. I won't run away, even if the worst comes.
Jii is gone, the Chimera and Asakim are gone - but there must be someone out there who knows more about the Sphere. And I need to know, too. I'll find out, somehow.
From:
no subject
...I remember now...there was a time before such decisions were made - when both of us were very doubtful of ourselves...
But...I should also apologize. Worried as I am, this is a moment not to think of such things...

[The feeling of something like that finally ending... he actually knew how it felt, anxiously reaching out to hold her hand. Of course before he could, Interitus hugged the Glory Star pilot with a small smile on her face.]
"...Things can be better now... yes?"
[There was a soft sigh from her partner, but he couldn't help but smile just a little.]
Yeah... what Interitus said... now that Chimera, Asakim and Jii are gone... its not going to be easier but... its one big weight gone. Right?

[After all... everything Setsuko did went beyond mere test-piloting and then some.]
"Volyah always said he bad at tests. No wonder forget."
