Mm... I think that's about it. I can't think it would need anything else, so all that's left is to set it, and hope it's enough.

I probably shouldn't have used such a long encantation though... It's going to wear me out if I do it before tonight, and then--Autor, I'll be by either after the ball or tomorrow to set the kidou, okay? I'll show you

[icepetals]

What have you been enchanting now?

[hajikemomo]

Just a kidou for the Opera House residents.

[icepetals]

So that's where you've been. Here I was thinking you might have changed your mind about going with me.

[hajikemomo]

...I would never--

[icepetals]

I, uh, yeah. I knew you wouldn't.

[relief evident in voice?]

[hajikemomo]

I want to go with you. I like being with you, Shirou-chan. I always have.

[he may want to watch out for a tackle >>;]

[icepetals]

Mmh, it's good to know that. You have so many friends now and I know I can be difficult.

[hajikemomo]

You're not difficult.

[icepetals]

Seriously? That thought has never crossed your mind once?

[hajikemomo]

No... I've worried that the other captains will disapprove, or that you might leave, or I will and forget everything, or something like that.

But never that you're difficult. It's just how you are, isn't it?

[icepetals]

It is.

...what's this about forgetting?

[hajikemomo]

...You know. Not remembering this place.

[icepetals]

We don't need to remember this place when we return. It's not exactly heaven here.

[hajikemomo]

I know, but--

We won't be like this.

[icepetals]

What do you mean?

[hajikemomo]

I'd go back to-- Wouldn't I?

I wouldn't have recovered. I showed up here when I was still in the Fourth Division's care, that's what I'd go back to. And even if I could reject him... They have no reason to believe what would be a sudden turn around to them.
