Nyx had finally fallen.

The members of the SEES looked amongst themselves, anxiety and horror written on their faces.

Where was the leader?

"M-MINATO-KUN?!" Screamed a girl clad in pink, her eyes getting watery. "Th-this isn't funny!" A sob and then finally, her tears ran down her face.

Someone placed a hand on her shoulder. "Yuka-tan…" Came the pained voice of her friend, Junpei Iori. He couldn't look her in the eye. He couldn't look at anyone at the moment. His best friend...Is he really...?

The group was silent aside from the sobs that came from Yukari and the whimpering heard from Koro-chan.

"This…can't be happening…" Whispered Aigis, a robot designed to exterminate shadows. Despite the fact of being a robot, tears flowed down her face. She said…She said she would protect him… How useless she thought bitterly about herself before a sob erupted from her lips.

The Tower before them was slowly transforming into their school but there was still no sign of their leader.

"Yamagishi-san…" Said the groups red head and future head of the Kirijo group, Mitsuru Kirijo. "Where is he…?" She asked in a quiet manner.

Fuuka Yamagishi gripped onto her evoker. She was scared. Did she really want to know if their leader was...Gone? She bit her lower lip then let out a sigh. Pulling the evoker up to her head, she pulled the trigger. "Juno…"

The night's air was momentarily filled with the sound of a gunshot and the shattering of glass.

After a few minutes of waiting, of hoping, Juno was finally dismissed and the group awaited Fukka's analysis. She hesitated and looked down. "He…." she frowned, her eyes filled with tears. "He's not here…" She sobbed, falling on her knees and started wiping her tears with the back of her hand, "He's not---"

Yukari sniffled and walked over to Fuuka and placed both hands on her shoulders and knelt down. "You--You're wrong! YOU'RE LYING!!!" She yelled, shaking her friend viciously.

This is a day they'll never forget. The day they won the battle against Nyx. The day they saved mankind.

…The day they lost Minato Arisato.
