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.

Yeah, well. Doing things always feels better when it's something you wanna do and not something you have to do.

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.

[pseudoregelia]

Not to brag, but I think I'm quite good at my job.

[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.]

[divertimento]

No kidding.

...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.

[pseudoregelia]

You'll be returning to help rebuild, right?

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.]

[divertimento]

Haha... well, something like that.

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.]

[She's going to use her pendant to run into him when he least expects it, looking nothing like she does now.]

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.]

[divertimento]

[Okay, that earns a little laugh.]

Of course. [And while he is kidding with the next bit, he's not being completely facetious.] You deserve no less.

[pseudoregelia]

[...]

Well, if you really want to show your appreciation, the more expensive the better!

[This is apparently his reward for being nice.]

[divertimento]

Aha... ha... ha. [That last laugh sounds more like the sigh of someone that has given up.]

I'm not made of mira, y'know... but I'll do what I can.

[pseudoregelia]

[Hiyono (...sorta)'s gonna Hiyono.

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! ♥

[divertimento]

[wEH...]

We'll... we'll see.

[pseudoregelia]

You didn't survive all this time just to chicken out on a confession, did you?

[divertimento]

[He gives her a deadpan stare.]

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?

[pseudoregelia]

Oh? Did you really believe in those cards? That's just a parlor trick, you know.

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!
