Epilogue

  It was a typical sunny day. There were no clouds, the birds were singing and the sun bearing on Robin felt warm and comfortable. It was peaceful where she was. The City Cemetery had a nice, quiet, respectful environment. She stood in front of Asriel Lucindus's grave. Her former team-mate, monster, and lover. She was dressed as she was, in her black coat and dress, and in her arms was a bouquet of snow-white lilies she had bought from a flower shop nearby. Robin gazed upon Asriel's name inscribed on the tombstone. A single tear crept out of a corner of her eye but she brushed it away. She had cried enough already. She knelt down and placed the flowers on the plot. Then, she prayed.

  "Mind if I join in?" a male voice interrupted. Robin turned around and saw her leader standing behind. In his hand was a single lily.

  "Amon."

  Amon knelt down and placed his lily next to Robin's bouquet. "Shall we pray?" he asked. Robin nodded and they both closed their eyes in prayer.

  Five minutes later, the two were standing over Asriel's grave again, enjoying the relative peace of the place. Nobody uttered a word for some time.

  Finally, Amon spoke. "The girl refused you know."

  "Eh?"

  "That witch girl of yours. Kasumi. She refused our aid in hospital bills. Something about bringing it onto herself and becoming stronger. Stupid girl." Amon clarified. Robin smiled. She understood now. Kasumi was rushed to hospital where she received treatment for her wounds. The doctors managed to save her life and patch up the less severe areas, but her arm would forever be gone. When Kasumi heard the news, she was devastated. She even refused to eat.

  "Please Kasumi-san! Take a bite!" Robin had begged. Kasumi said nothing. Suddenly, she turned to look Robin eye to eye.

  "When you destroyed the demon Robin," she asked, "how did that make you feel?"

  Robin didn't know how to answer, knowing how much she wanted Asriel dead. She decided to go with the truth though. "I felt sad," she replied, "So sad that I cried and wanted to die along with him."

  Kasumi continued to glare at Robin after hearing the answer. Then she let out a sigh and relaxed. "That's why you're just a stupid Hunter," she snorted. She started eating and took physiotherapy regularly.

  "The doctors said that she was making remarkable progress. She'll do fine, Kasumi-san," Robin laughed. Amon said nothing. There was another pause.

  "You're never alone you know," he finally said, staring into the distance.

  "Amon?" Robin was confused.

  The lead Hunter continued gazing at the trees. "You'll never be alone. At least…at least I'll always be there for you. To save you." Suddenly, a huge gust of wind blew around them. Before she knew it, Amon had her in his arms, shielding her from the cold.

  "A…Amon?" Robin blushed as her body pressed up next to his. Then, the wind died down. Amon let her go and turned away. He started walking towards the exit.

  "Let's go," he said without looking back, "We still have work to do back in the office."

  "Ha...Hai!" Robin exclaimed, "I'll be right there!" She knelt to place something on the grave again and hurriedly ran after her partner. "Wait up!"

  A black glove lay next to the flowers on a bright sunny day.
