Pharos was an incomplete puzzle. A piece of death that reside within her soul. An entity that slowly became completed as the full moon shadows were defeated one by one. As the last piece of the puzzle finally came, Pharos left.
And Ryoji Mochizuki, Nyx's avatar, was born.
OoOoOo
Ryoji wanted to say that he understands human. For a few precious weeks, he thought he was one of them. Smiled like them, talked like them. He was just Ryoji Mochizuki, the transfer student; and he was happy.
When he looked back, it felt kinda stupid to forget who he was. As he proceeded with his everyday life. School, S.E.E.S, her. Seeing the world and humanity as a whole. As Ryoji Mochizuki, the human.
OoOoOo
It never felt right to treat her like any other girls. Yes, she was kind and beautiful. But she's special. Even when he didn't know why at the time.Being with her was strangely familiar. As if she was one with him.
She used to be one with him.
OoOoOo
Pharos was awaken when she arrived in Iwatodai. Sensing the shadows and Tartarus.
Ryoji was awaken on the Moonlight Bridge, the place where all of this started.
He explained to her who he really was. The Fall that will come.
She screamed his name. Over and over and over again.
"Mochizuki Ryoji."
OoOoOo
They only knew him for a month. She only knew him for half a year. He'd knew her for ten years.
Why is she so kind? His only purpose was to end her and everyone she held dear. "Kill me." He said. Not wanting them to suffer.
"No." She said. "We will fight." She said again.
Inside he was screaming. Why wouldn't she understand? He only wanted all of them to live peacefully. Not wanting them to fear death. Not wanting them to know their lifes were numbered.
But her's eyes said it all. Her bottomless strength. Everyone resolutions. All of them will fight.
So he gave her a ring. Told her to keep it safe. A desperate attempt so she remembered him. Even if he disappeared. Even if she'd to see a part of him when she fought Nyx.
Ryoji told them how to find Nyx and S.E.E.S tried to stop the inevitable.
OoOoOo
"You know, sometimes I think... I would still like you, no matter if you were a guy or a girl." He said to her on day.
She blinked at him and laughed. "What do you mean?"
It was an odd thing to say and he told her that. Couldn't help smiling at her in the process. No matter how right it felt when the words leaved his mouth. Talking to her has always been easy. He could talk to her about anything. From his deja Vu to his existential crisis.
The brunette would be there for him and the thought comfort him more than it should be.
OoOoOo
The Fall didn't happen and he knew she performed a miracle.
A part of him was glad. His friends is still breathing and smiling. Finally able to enjoy life without the threat of Tartarus looming behind their backs.
A part of him regret the sacrifice that happened for it to come true.
