Epilogue: The Aftermath
"Solomon's extended their gratitude," Zaizen explained to the gathered members of the STN-J. "Nasat was too big a threat for even their best operatives to handle. They're still not giving us new information, but we're on better terms with them at last."
Amon nodded. "So things return to normal?"
Michael nodded. "Pretty much. All that we have left to deal with is hushing up a few nosey civilians who saw Nasat use his powers."
"Great," Doujima muttered. "And who's in charge of that cleanup?"
"Well, you are," Zaizen replied. "FACTORY personnel is occuppied getting rid of other evidence."
"Ugh, you mean we have to go back out there?" Karasuma asked.
"No," Amon replied. "Not tonight. For now we're all going to get some rest. And tomorrow we finish our job."
Haruto laughed. "As if our job is ever finished..."
The STN-J members began to head out. As Robin turned to leave, Amon clasped one hand onto her shoulder.
"Robin," he told her. "Can I have a word?"
Robin nodded as the two headed into one corner of the office. "Yes, Amon?"
"I just wanted to say- good work." Amon told her, clearly being sincere (which was quite a rarity for him).
Robin looked surprised. "Really?"
Amon nodded and headed away, saying nothing more.
Robin smiled. "Amon..." But then her thoughts drifted from her partner to something entirely different.
You are a witch, came Kamiya's voice.
You are called the Devil's Child, came Nasat's.
Robin glanced around the office. Michael was at his computer as usual, Doujima, Haruto, Karasuma and Amon were all in the elevator, heading towards the parking lot. Zaizen was going over something with Kosaka, who was yelling at Hattori for bringing him the wrong kind of tea.
Robin turned to the window, looking out at the night sky.
"Am I a witch?"
She quickly dismissed her own question and headed to the elevator, leaving a few traces of blood and ash on the carpet behind her.
