All's well that ends well
[ So you've wished the dead back to life, but there's still 2 wishes you have to make. Ultimately what happens from here is entirely in your hands, but for the first time in eight weeks everyone is alive and whole again (even that pesky merman). There is that corruption you should deal with, but surely you know what to do about that.
Once you've settled and wound down a bit, maybe you should relax a bit before going your separate ways. You've earned it.

[Got it in one, Elliot!]
My job requires me to take on all sorts of roles, so even if I gave you my real name, it would be meaningless anyway. So for now, you can continue to refer to me the same way you did when I was "Hiyono."
We've certainly been through enough together to deserve it, I think.
no subject
Then... Hiyono it is, I guess. And... thank you so much for everything, Hiyono.
I really don't think I'd have held together if not for you. It... does mean a lot to know you did really mean all that.
no subject
Even in my world, my employer didn't give me much beyond some information on the people we were likely to encounter. From the start, "Hiyono's" actions were based on what I judged to be the correct path.
[Her voice is a bit... wry as she admits this.]
no subject
Then you still are the person I thought you were, huh?
[He pulls himself up, and then... pulls "Hiyono" into a hug.]
Thank you. I really mean it.
no subject
[...Oh. But then he's hugging her, and although she's surprised for a moment, she hugs him back.]
You did well, Elliot-kun. Thank you for helping us keep a light even through the darkness of despair.
no subject
Only 'cause you and Ayumu were helping, too. I owe you both so much.
no subject
"Hiyono" supported Ayumu no matter what. And since he wanted to support you as well, "Hiyono" followed suit.
[She does pat him on the back a few times, however.]
Still, I'm glad for it - you did wonderfully, Elliot-kun. Be sure to keep that strength with you when you return home, okay?
no subject
You do the same, okay? Wherever life takes you.
no subject
I sort of have to, you know.
[Given her job and all.]
no subject
But if I know anything about you, I'm pretty sure you want to. So I guess I don't have anything to worry about.
no subject
[She sure fooled all of you this whole time, after all.]
And it definitely has its perks. Even if it can be dangerous... Well, I met you, Ayumu, and Naomi-chan thanks to it, didn't I?
[We're looking on the bright side of murdergame hell now.]
no subject
...Yeah, that's a perk, all right. I'm not about to lie and say I have no regrets going home from here, but meeting you guys? That's never, ever gonna be one of them.
no subject
Make sure it looks great, just in case. Who knows? Maybe I'll find a way to drop by after all.
[She doesn't really mean it, because she doesn't yet realize they'll be able to visit each other, but. The sentiment is still there.]
no subject
Finishing school, first. After that... I want to see what peace I can bring with my music. I think that's the best way for me to contribute.
But I'll do my best. Just in case you do find a way!
[And then it turns out they get magic sparklies that allow them to. Oops.]
no subject
Then it's a promise. Be ready to show me the best shops to eat, okay?
[She's also totally going to hold him to this even if it's like two years later because she is a menace in all forms.]
no subject
Of course. [And while he is kidding with the next bit, he's not being completely facetious.] You deserve no less.
no subject
Well, if you really want to show your appreciation, the more expensive the better!
[This is apparently his reward for being nice.]
no subject
I'm not made of mira, y'know... but I'll do what I can.
no subject
Anyway, since he's being a big pushover in all things, might as well keep going with:]
And be sure to tell that Rean-kun how you feel while you're at it! ♥
no subject
We'll... we'll see.
no subject
no subject
Says the person who said it wasn't gonna work out! But... I dunno. I'll at least think about it, which is more than I was planning on before. Is that enough?
no subject
Your fate is in your own hands, Elliot-kun. If you want a certain outcome, it's up to you to work towards it.
[There's your sage advice for the road.]
Thinking about it is a good first step, but it's pointless unless you take decisive action!
