Hapi? What in the world do you mean?
You look rather unsteady all of a sudden.
I'm so sleepy... Why not just end my suffering now?
Can you not pull yourself together? You were the one
[cdb]who volunteered for guard duty in the first place!
I know. But whenever it's just the two of us like this,
[cdb]it reminds me of how things used to be.
And then I get all nostalgic and sleepy.
Usually I'd be in bed right now, you know.
Well, I cannot deny feeling a little nostalgic myself.
I can't believe we're still together after everything
[cdb]that's happened.
First we had to help the knights, then we wound up in
[cdb]the Imperial army.
When you went back to the Empire, I thought that
[cdb]was it. But look at us now, together again.
We had to stick with the church for a while, and
[cdb]then we were lucky enough to be taken in by
[cdb]the Federation.
Wild, right? I don't know how to describe it.
It's almost like we're best friends or something.
Have you already forgotten what you once told me?
You said that you would be so utterly lonesome
[cdb]without me to keep you company that it would
[cdb]only be a matter of time before you began to sigh.
It was necessary that I stay with you in order to avert
[cdb]certain disaster. I had no choice in the matter,
[cdb]you see!
Did I really say all that?
You did indeed! It was the very day we left Abyss,
[cdb]if memory serves.
All right then. Fine by me. I wonder what everyone
[cdb]else from Abyss is up to now.
We know Balthus and Yuri are alive and well. And I
[cdb]believe it is likely everyone else is thriving too.
I am certain everyone is alive and well. Just like we
[cdb]are, right now...
Yeah. I think you're probably right.
Do you ever wish you could return to those days?
Back in Abyss?
Me? Nah, not really.
Most of the people here don't know about my power.
They actually treat me like a normal person.
Indeed...
Plus, you're here. It's like you said, I'd get lonely
[cdb]without my Coco.
What about you? Would you be lonely without me?
Well, lonely is not necessarily the word I'd use...
Hmmm... So it's just me then, huh?
OK, fine! I would! I would be positively despondent
[cdb]without you here!
There you go. That wasn't so hard, was it? I'm glad
[cdb]you finally admitted it.
You knew? Hmph. Why must you always tease me so?
Come on, you were pretty happy when I volunteered
[cdb]for guard duty, weren't you?
Yes, well, you see...that was because it had already
[cdb]been assigned to me.
I merely thought it would be easier to have a partner
[cdb]with whom I was already familiar.
Same here! That's why I volunteered. I knew you'd be
[cdb]my partner, Coco.
