And just like that...
1. [The following days after The Lady's defeat and the encounter with Loni are quiet for Seta - days are spent traveling around Sakihama and what was left of Alhambra Base. As the Kijin Empress, she knows she has a duty to return to in her home world, and that it might be some time before she can see her friends here again.
That being said, the feeling behind her smile as she stands by the hangar's exit is bittersweet. There is a soft rumbling of a fancy car's engine in the background - the vehicle ready to take her back to the Gate at the Gloster headquarters.]
...In the end, I really could not have done anything without all of you. Even matters of my world were solved with your help.
When I first arrived here... what is, for me, many years ago - I was unsure...afraid. I did not know much of anything of this world. But not anymore.
I will not return for some time, but do not worry... Astara and I have agreed to keep in touch through the Gate. She will resume her duties of managing Kijin affairs on Earth, as well as receiving any news from you.
I am...
[She pauses, to wipe something from her eye. It doesn't help much, but she keeps smiling regardless.]
...I am really... truly glad to have met you.

2. [Many months later, after Project Unification's dissolution, a particular horned Kijin visits Sakihama City. She heads to a seaside area, where there is also a park, and a brand new outlet of a popular fast food chain.
However, this particular store is filled to the brim with beach-goers, and as such, even someone who stands out of the crowd as much as Lenore cannot find a seat after receiving her meal from the counter. She finally decides to sit down anyway - on the edge of a raised wooden patio outside the store. Her tray is set down beside her.]
Now that everything is over, I suppose this is going to be the norm...
[She unwraps her burger, but doesn't bite into it just yet. The fries, those go first.
While she does this, she looks ahead. This place holds a special meaning as well: the place where she first ran into the Unity Group and Astara. The site has since been rebuilt, though some buildings remain under construction.]
...I wonder how they're all doing right now.

What are you doing here? Do you have a new employer around?
no subject
Been juggling around plenty of jobs here. Includin' actual bouncing for once. Turns out it's not that different from what Boss Man gave me the memories of.
And all that cash goes to help maintaining the real me and doing my own investigations. Tackling loose threads, if you get my meaning.

Loose threads...do you mean VIPER? Or...

[A scowl crosses Roy's face as a crab crawls up from the back of his head.]
A while back a group broke her out during one of her court hearings. ESUN's been wanting it kept on the super-duper down-low because of what she almost pulled off before... but with Dakova out of the way and her own reaction to 'em, I don't figure this is some fallback move of hers.
Piecin' stuff together's taking time, and the runnin' theory right now's that it was done by some splinter group of the SCCF. Weirdos beyond weirdos, from the stories we've heard, trying to find some way to attain immortality.
Guessin' they think Miss "Born in a Cell But Not That Kind of Cell, I mean the Prison kind" might be a clue to that.
... There's a crab on my head, isn't there.

[She tries to look as serious as possible, but it's not really working.]
But, if this is happening, shouldn't the ESUN be more...serious? They can send more people to look for her and this group, right?
no subject
Well yeah, I'm not the only dude they've got on the case. I wouldn't be takin' the chance to chill here if I was.
But right now it's like a game of... like a mix of tag and Marco Polo. This group had to show off it existed to nab Beatrice, and with how quiet stuff 's now... there's a whole lotta eyes to be spared if they get caught making a move. And the guys in charge of stoppin' them want to keep everything down-low to make sure they don't get the drop on us again. And these bozos are playin' it really quiet too because they don't want to get caught before they pull off whatever they're really plannin'.
'Least they're probably butthurt about VIPER's crap though, so we don't gotta worry about any surprise team-ups.

[How should she say this...]
Do you need company? I mean, I'm still trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do now, so...
