video ● thirteenth reflection

Well... I think I've resolved all the matters of my past in the last couple days, so that means I'm back in business! Also had a nice little... birthday celebration of sorts. Heh.

Speaking of which... do we technically age here? I mean, I can technically keep calling myself nineteen, right? It doesn't really matter, I guess, but indulge my curiosity.

And... well, out of these nineteen or twenty years, I don't I've ever had such a break between brawls before- that's not encouragement to start fighting in the streets, guys, but I think my aim might even be getting a little shaky. Don't need another paintball war so soon, but... maybe a tournament would be fun...

[FILTERED TO SHIRAYUKI, ZEN, AND OBI]

So~ I'm going to assume one of two things happened with your living situation. Guess number one! Zen and Shirayuki are in a hilariously awkward situation where they're living together and feel so bad about it because it's not... proper or something, right? And don't tell me you put Obi on the couch- that's just mean.

Or... two: Shirayuki's living in an apartment all by her lonesome but close enough that her two bodyguards aren't worried. Right?

Well, here's option number three~

Shirayuki, you wanna come bunk with me now that I'm heading back to my old place? It's just one floor up from Zen and Obi so they're welcome whenever. ... Well, almost whenever. I reserve the right to kick out anyone after midnight. So... whaddya say?

[FILTERED TO ZEN AND OBI]

Okay okay, I know what you're thinking- don't want your girlfriend too far or Zen'll suffer from seperation anxiety, right? Oh. And the whole safety thing.

But I'm not a top-notch sweeper for nothing so I've got her safety covered. Not to mention it'll ease your conscience so she's not all alone in a two-bedroom apartment by herself. Don't you think she might be getting lonely? We wouldn't want that, right?

So stop being so over-protective and let her give me an answer before you say no.

... 'Ball of fluff'? To be fair, dying's a little different from moving away, Saya.

At the very least, you don't have that look that can kill anymore.

And maybe the two are different, but.... Eh. What can I do about it?

Oh, I can still bring it out if I want to, believe me.

[Seriously how many times does he do his murderous aura thing in the series—]

... And you could've not tried to avoid me here, for starters.

Not in Vatheon, 'kay? I don't want to have to apologize for you.

I had good reasoning for that too.

You say it like I do it unprovoked!

Oh? I'd like to hear that 'good reasoning', then.

Even when provoked!

When you leave someone's life, I say you're supposed to leave it for good. I don't like leaving things half-finished and no matter how you look at it, soon as you or I leave Vatheon, whatever we're doing is gonna be half-done.

Then the one that's left behind can worry about it when that happens. Until then... aren't I allowed to enjoy my time with a friend I haven't seen in a while?

You make it sound like I have a choice now.

I still think it's gonna be an unnecessary pain whenever the time comes for once of us to leave, but... I also realized that I have no talent for staying hidden.

You got that right! Besides, what kind of sweeper would I be if I couldn't locate the target?

Still not as good as me~?

[He raises an eyebrow.]

You sure you want to say something like that, Saya?

Who's the one in debt all the time?

... Low blow. But it's okay—I know my own skill, after all.

Heh, it's a point you can't argue with me on. But hey, just because you've got the skill doesn't mean you're a better sweeper.

Remind me again who caught Creed.

How much did you break and who got killed on the way there?

Hey, it was Creed's hideout—and out on an island—so it's not like anyone was going to charge us for damage. And I don't kill anymore, remember?

.... hideout? He made it that far? Figures.

Yeah, but I can't imagine that you got there all by yourself either. Especially if it's out on an island.

Let's just say that Creed got a lot stronger in more ways than one over the years.

Huh? Oh yeah, there was the Sweeper Alliance, and...

[He falls silent for a few moments, remembering who else was there.]

... Well, you've got a point there. Chronos was involved too, and you can probably guess what that meant.

It's starting to look like it. Man, now I'm annoyed at how much I missed out on!

... yeah. Figures. [And now this is just her curiosity.] .... How'd you leave them anyway?

About three years' worth of stuff! Though it didn't really get heavy until the last year.

Whadya mean? I just left them.

And that's when you started seeing ghosts and... stuff.

You couldn't have done that while I was still alive? Could've thrown a party!

Hey, Creed saw you too the last time it happened, okay!

Sorryyy... We can have one now?

... weird. Was he still all... y'know, psychotic?

Nope. Too busy for you. [She sticks her tongue out at him.]

Yuuuup. Even more than when you met him, I think. He still hates your guts, by the way.

[Just so you know.]

What!? Geez... and even after I went through all that trouble of preparing for your birthday.
