To Tongari-san:
Epilogue:
Twenty years later......
".....With love, your Tongari-san."
Mandy dropped the stack of papers back on the table. Paxx leaned back on the old bed and sighed. Nick shook his head in disbelief.
"I just don't get it.... All this time..... I never knew."
"Otou-san kept his word. Besides, I'm sure it was for the best."
Nick sighed. "I suppose you're right, Paxx."
Their attention returned to that thin stack of notes.
"So, what should we do with it?"
Mandy smiled. "I think I have an idea...."
"Ready?"
"Almost..... There! Done!"
Paxx and Nick got the fire started.
Slowly, one by one, they burned the notes and watched the smoke rise up into the air and disappear.
"Think they'll reach them up there?"
"They will."
The last of the notes vanished into the flames.
"Nicky?"
"Yeah, Mandy?"
"Shall we name our son Niles?"
Nick smiled lovingly at his wife and nodded.
The two suns finally vanished below the horizon, and the three childhood friends went in.
"Say, remember how one of the moons got that huge hole?"
"PAXX!"
Ok. That was pretty upsetting to my pride.
But this is the result of watching the entire set Trigun DVDs on caffeine high while suffering from both depression and insomnia.
Don't try this at home.
