Rating: T


Day 30 of my non-existence… Philip thought miserably, trying to at least keep himself together and apart from all the other data strands within the Earth's memories.

Being data was hard, and not to mention boring and tiring. If Philip had just let himself go, he would have nothing to do, and in the process just dissolve.

Most of his data was memories of his 'life', while a small part of it was the data for the configuration of his body. Philip didn't even know why he was trying so hard, or if he could go on for eternity holding himself together. After all, he was spending a long time here.

He recounted his strands, making sure none got lost.

There's that one with Akiko and the Sweets…

And that time Mick was cured.

Ahh…Terui Ryu's first appearance…

Kamen Singers, heh, that was fun.

This went on for a while.

When I first met Shoutarou.

And when Shoutarou nearly died…

And when I died…

And again…

If Philip had a body now, he would be crying.

Alas, he didn't.

I can't even do research here—keeping everything together takes too much of my attention…Philip mentally sighed again. Sometimes he wanted to find out how he even kept his conscience or consciousness within this mess altogether.

Raito… Philip thought. Wait, that was not his thought.

Wakana-nee-san! The recognition surprised Philip so much he almost forgot about his task. Quickly recovering, he grabbed the ends of his data again, reigning them back in.

Wakana-nee-san! He called out again.

Raito… Data strands began to congregate around him; he could feel it—and Wakana appeared before him, like an apparition from the mist, except she came from data.

This is the Gaia Impact I've decided on… Wakana sent to her brother, then frowned at the state of him, and decided to help him out, lending him her power and re-assembling his data.

"Nee-san!" Philip struggled to remember how to move his.

"Raito… I'm giving you my body," Wakana stated as though it was the most normal thing in the universe.

"Eh?"

Wakana stood up and crossed her arms, smiling amusingly, "I couldn't stand watching your partner's miserable face."

It still didn't feel quite right to Philip. His sister should not have to sacrifice for his revival.

"It's the Sonozaki family's mission to change the Earth for the sake of humanity. But I'm not the one most suited for it; it is you, Raito, who is kinder than anyone else."

Philip smiled a little at the praise (and just a little at the prospect of seeing his partner and friends again). "Nee-san… But how will I do it?"

"You'll find the answer someday," A new voice answered. "For now, continue being the wind that protects the city."

When Philip looked up at Wakana, he found his whole family standing before him. His father, his sister (and idol), his older sister, and his mother.

That day, Philip's family disappeared into the Earth's memories forever.


I also realized one thing: readers of KR tend to not review, so I will not force, but it would really be lovely if you could ^^
