Sniping the seventieth target.
[ thoughts ]
§ Luck. I haven't given up on your bar, you know! It'll be open again soon. Count on that. What if I could do this for--a while? What a weird thought. A bartender, that's not me. I still have to fight, as long as I exist somewhere.
§ Umi. I'd better catch up on planning for your birthday! Maybe that way you won't make a big deal about mine. That's not how it's supposed to go.
§ Tohru. I won't miss you too much, after all. It's enough to know you're with Kyou and taking care of each other. Will you remember me? I shouldn't think about that too much. It doesn't matter.
§ Konata. If I put it off any longer, she might look for lessons from someone else. That's a bad idea. Is that really what you need from me? Teaching you how to kill. I shouldn't be that person.
§ Kaoru, Hikaru--we never did get to be like you. That's all right, since we're all different people. It's selfish of me to want it to have been that way. That's not right at all.
§ Nemu. What's going to happen to you when I leave? I want you to thrive like Tieria did without me. Well, the truth is, I want to stay with you for a while longer.
§ Tieria? What am I doing with you? It's probably gone too far. Isn't it funny, though...how much I like it.
§ Setsuna. Hey, am I really a part of what you've become? It's so hard to think about. I'll always be a little behind like that. But is this what it feels like, to be at peace? Sometimes I think so, when I look at you. I didn't ever really believe I'd feel that way.
§ Lyle. What if you and Anew come back someday? I have to believe you will, even if I'm gone then. Otherwise there's not a whole lot of point to this place! I still don't get it. If he loved her so much, how can he go on without her? Well, he always was a little smarter than me that way, after all.
§ I want to go. I don't know if I can watch over them from somewhere back home, but if I can, that's where I should be. If I can't, that's all right. I haven't forgotten. Mother, Father, Amy, I belong with you. Don't I? There's no point doubting it now.
§ I want to stay. There are still people I can help here. I can still watch Setsuna and Tieria grow and change, and now Nemu too--and the truth is, there are people who can only be happy here. Lyle...I want you to be able to come back here with Anew. I want you to be happy and have a family here. That's the only reason to care about the Curse Brigade. For my brother. For Nemu. For the ones like them. That's why I have to make this world better.

Last night was exciting for us, but in case anyone got worried, we've sorted it out now. It's probably best if we take a break from that genre of show. It gets Setsuna and Tieria a little too worked up. Then we forget to feed Zia, and that's not right at all.
