Hamuko is smiling to herself, when she thinks of all those wonderful people that she had met.

Complete their social links to gain ultimate power was never the plan. More like, these people needed someone they could relate to; someone who could help carry their burdens and problems. She thought, why not be that person?

She giggles to herself.

All those people are ready to grasp life by the horns, ready to fight their own battles, ready to fight for their beliefs. What more could she possibly want? In return, those people have given her more than she could have possibly asked for in a year. The most fun, experiences, joy and sorrow she had experienced in years since her mother and father had died.

This year was the best.

This year, she had met a lot of wonderful people.

Hopefully they won't be too sad when she leaves.

After all, she'll be watching over them, making sure they don't.
