[Ikuto's hand stays over the lens for a minute, and a sigh is heard. After a while, he slowly pulls his hand away. He stares into the camera with a serious expression at first, not saying anything.]
City--
[He stops and laughs a little, a slight smile staying on his face.]
No... Everyone. Even those who left before me. Thank you.
[And for a moment, his real smile shows.]

[Action]
[The two of them stood in front of the Carousel, waiting for the pull Ikuto felt to take them back home. It seemed fitting--the last time that they were in their world, they had been near a carousel. Maybe they were connected somehow, or Yoru was showing him the way back. Or maybe it was just another unexplained quirk of the City.]
[He squeezed Amu's hand. He knew what was going to happen when they got back. He would forget everything, including the fact that she had fallen in love with him, and he would leave her. But his feelings wouldn't change. Somehow, he'd hear her say those words again.]
[The City began to blur and fade, the Carousel changing into one that was more familiar. They were going back. It had actually worked. And in the moment before he forgot everything about the City, Ikuto remembered something that Amu had said to him once, a day that felt like forever ago.]
[He smiled. Nothing was ending. It was only beginning.]
((OOC: As of the end of this post, Ikuto and Amu will have left the city.))
