[This morning's drop-off was quick and early - another kit, "VIII," with another print out on the lid sitting right outside the onsen. No sign of the one who dropped it off, nor any notes.

At least the walruses still seem chill.]

[comes out of the inn behind him and leans over his shoulder]

Another one.

[smoothcriminal]

[nods]

Do you know how many more are left?

[victorgeous]

V through X were labeled on the map that came with the first one. That means two more.

[smoothcriminal]

[frowns]

I'm worried about what will happen once we reach the end.

[victorgeous]

We're about to find out.

I'm not expecting the best.

[smoothcriminal]

Mm.

[victorgeous]

What about you?

[smoothcriminal]

The same. But regardless of what is coming, I will fight to protect those that I care about.

[victorgeous]

[squeezes his shoulder]

I'm not going to sit there and let it happen, either.

[smoothcriminal]

Right.

[victorgeous]

I would like to know more of what they expect us to do.

[smoothcriminal]

I think waiting is the hardest part.

[victorgeous]

It always is.

[smoothcriminal]

Would you like a hug?

[victorgeous]

[startled laughter]

Do you think I do?
