I shrug slightly at her words, not wanting to address them directly. The truth is I will always be weak, always too weak to fend off the enemies we face by myself.

My damn weakness. It kept me from becoming Fourze.

Not a good train of thought. Best to focus on something else.

"It's okay. I'll be okay." We make it through the path to Rabbit Hutch, and I sigh with relief when we make it into the base. It's not entirely safe anymore, since Ryuusei has been here, and knows our secrets, but it still feels safe.

"Thank you."

Thank you for finding me. For getting to me so quickly. Thank you for always being there for me, for always having a smile for me, even when there's pain.

Thank you for everything you do, Yuuki.

You make my life brighter.
