There was a memory he had, from that last month before their final battle.

He'd been sitting in the big, comfy armchair in their communal lounge, idly grinding in some game he couldn't remember on his PSP. Akihiko and Mitsuru were out on business, Junpei was at the arcade, Yukari and Fuuka were trying to study in Yukari's room, Ken was asleep. Aigis was recharging. He had the place to himself, and the crown was weighing heavy. They were strong, but not strong enough; he tried to push the thought away but it just kept coming back. They couldn't defeat this foe...it was just too large, too powerful. They were kids! What the fuck were they doing with--

A cold nose, pushing up against his hand. He'd let the PSP fall into his lap, not even looking at it anymore. Minato started a little, looking down; Koromaru was sitting at his feet, panting quietly, an expression of utter loyalty and complete confidence displayed in those glimmering red eyes. Minato had stared at him for some time before setting the gaming device aside, sinking down onto his knees to hug the dog right around his neck. A long breath had shuddered out of the boy, Koromaru yipping quietly and licking Minato where he could reach.

'Things are going to be okay,' Koromaru seemed to be saying. 'You can't give up.'

Yukari and Junpei had gone with him, into that final battle against the Nyx Avatar. Bringing Koromaru had always been a foregone conclusion.

Minato remembered that, one night out in the wilderness between Violet and Azalea, and wished that he could go home.
