the final afterparty

[

That sure happened, but everyone, by some miracle, made it out alive. No one else died, nothing blew up, no arson was committed, we're all still here. And being here, being present despite everything that just happened, is really important. This is for everyone, McGillis and Yuri included (and Jack, if he wants to party from the dungeon), because they all need it. Even with the new revelations, nobody should be left behind.

The party takes place in the bar again, and it probably looks a little...odd? Because there's all the alcohol in the back, and then...there's a bunch of donuts on one of the tables. Two whole baskets of donuts from the bakery, provided by Tenn. Next to the baskets is tea provided by Koto. Have at it, everyone. ]

...You might think it's weird, but... I really did think I was going to die here, so I ended up writing letters to people over time. I don't have them on me right now, but I addressed one to you.

[ ... ]

I don't think I need to give it to you, since we're so close to the end. But, if you want to read it anyway, I can give it to you sometime this week.

[...]

I'd like that. I can't really imagine what writing a letter like that would be like, but I think I understand, in some way.

[After all, he's never had any doubts about surviving here. He can take care of himself, so the thought that someone could kill him never really crossed his mind. Or maybe there's more to it than that, but he certainly isn't willing to acknowledge it right now.]

But I'll only accept it on one condition - you need to promise that you'll be careful, and you won't do anything stupid that will make it necessary for me to read that letter.

[They can't possibly foresee whatever will come next, but hopefully we're done with killing people and the rest of us will survive to the end.]

Alright, then. After the execution sometime, when things have calmed down a little, I'll deliver it to you.

[ He nods. He's only let one person see one of his letters so far; the only one he actually delivered was Riku's...but it was too late. The letter went down with Riku's body.

Yeager's request, though, gets Tenn to grin again. He'll nod very firmly at that, though. ]

You already know the stupidest things I've done, anyway, from almost attacking C-ta to the deal with Hamelin and the machine. I don't plan on dying here.

[ He appreciates it, though. ]

My wish stopped mattering to me after Riku died, too. There's no reason for me to seek someone out for anything heinous.

Well said! My own wish was rendered rather pointless, though... I suppose in some way, it always was.

[It's still a difficult topic to really think about, but whatever!!]

I look forward to seeing this through to the end with you, then~!

[ He grins at that...

...and then he. Holds up his hand for a hi5. Oh my god, Tenn. ]

TRIGGER used to do this all the time, so...

[ ARE WE GOING TO HI5 ON THIS, YEAGER!! ]
