Kenji, Tate, and Uriko were in front of Uriko's house. "Well," Kenji said, "I guess this is where we say good night." "Yeah," Uriko replied in a little bit of regret. Then the two started kissing and Tate looked away. After some time Kenji had slipped some tongue in, and a little later they broke the kiss. "Wow, Kenji," Uriko announced, "you are getting a bit bolder!" Kenji blushed a little and looked down. "Uh..." he mumbled, "I'm sorry..."

"No," Uriko corrected, "that was great! Do it more often!" Kenji smiled and Tate sighed, when a familiar voice caught Tate's ear. "Sulia," he asked himself. Sulia came out to see them and bowed. "Sorry Tate," she said, "I heard you were looking for me...but I was busy with some last minute things while the lab was burning down..." "That's ok," Tate replied. Sulia was holding some papers in one hand and looked at them, and then at Tate. "What did you wish to speak to me about," she asked him.

"Well," the clone started out, "I wanted to convince you to give the world a chance... If Busuzima can't take you having a life, then to blazes with him!" Sulia began to say something but Tate held up a hand, signaling her to wait. "You shouldn't go through that just because you aren't a natural born human," he continued, "you should live on like anyone else..." "But I'm not-," she said, being shooshed by Tate. "What's it matter if we are or aren't human," he asked, "We aren't the only ones that aren't."

Kenji and Uriko nodded. "He's right," Uriko said, "don't let yourself be slave to the idea that you are a thing...it's not true..." Sulia nodded slowly, looking at the papers again. "Sulia I..." Tate hesitated, "I've felt some strange...peaceful connection to you...ever since I first saw you...I don't know what it is, but...I can't stand by and let you suffer." Uriko caught a glance of the papers that Sulia held, and noticed that they were Sulia and Tate's experimentation files. She'd been so busy in the burning lab getting TATE's files!

Uriko's face lit up and she gave Kenji a huge hug around his neck. "I think I know what it is," she said, "it sounds like you two are in love, or pretty close to it!" Tate turned red at the mention of the word, while Sulia just seemed confused by it's meaning. "Love," she asked, "what is love? Is that what I have been feeling for so long?"

~Months later~

Tate had changed his hairstyle, to the relief of Kenji and himself. Though they still dressed alike, the difference in hair made it simple to tell them apart. Tate now had his hair hanging normally and cut at a downward angle. We all know Kenji and Uriko were happy of course...but did Tate and Sulia work out? That's something to find out in the stories to come.
