[It doesn't need to be said that Tsubasa was left a complete mess after the mission.

Kanade, who teased her for her weaknesses.
Kanade, who was there for her when she was down.
Kanade, who held her hand through new experiences and encouraged her.

The Kanade she had depended on - her only partner, and the one she promised to sing with forever.

That Kanade is now no more.

Tsubasa was practically frozen where the older girl had disappeared. She cried until she couldn't do so any more, refusing to move until exhaustion got the better of her. There was no other apt reaction to how she felt.

Anger, frustration, disappointment, sadness, loneliness...

But afterwards, she's nowhere to be found in the infirmary or anywhere on base. There are no notes left behind, only an empty bed where she should be resting. Clearly, no amount of consoling would have helped, and she didn't even want to hear any of it from the UG members. The last thing she needed was people telling her to move on.

In the distance, a military helicopter takes off with the remaining Zwei Wing member inside. Tsubasa only glances at Sakihama one last time before she looks away.]



I know now that this isn't the answer. It never was.

In the end, I am but a sword. From now on...I fight alone.

[Although Tsubasa left quietly and suddenly, a notice is put up later of her departure from the UG and re-assignment to the 2nd Division HQ.]

[Ataru had been hanging back, not quite sure what to say really...]

...This might not be the best of times, but... you guys wanna get ice cream, or... something? I dunno, my treat.

...Right.

[After nodding in agreement with Ataru, Kei sent Asagi and Izuru a look telling them not to speak up.]

Are you su... ehh?

[What's with that look? For some reason a shiver went down Izuru's spine.]

I mean, why not.

...Okay. Who am I to say no to free food?

[Asagi's not that good at trying to put on a cheerful face.]

[Ataru smiles briefly at having gotten more success than he expected, before pausing as he realises something.]

You guys only get one scoop!
