Bara no Scarlet
Epilogue
It was difficult to say what exactly had been more difficult for Anshii and Utena to work through. But it had been several weeks since Akio had been defeated, and though they had been friendly that night with Dios and everyone else, neither girl had spoken to the other since.
The uneasy silence and tension was killing Anshii, and finally, Anshii walked into the room where Utena sat staring out into space. After a moment, Anshi began to speak. "I did some unspeakable things... and I wanted you to know that I'm sorry. I never wanted to hurt you..." She took a breath and sighed. "If you don't want me to interact with you, I'll understand. I can move into Kanae's floor..."
Utena had risen to her feet. Anshii lowered her head and closed her eyes. She decided that she'd call the building overseer and have Kanae's floor reopened today. And then, maybe she'd run out and check on her shops. The numbers had been rising steadily, and maybe the second shop was gaining a foothold in the community she'd built it in...
A hand was on her shoulder. Anshii opened her eyes and looked up to see Utena smiling at her. "I'll forgive you if you forgive me. There's been so much that's happened. And someday, together..."
"Someday together?" Anshii echoed, her heart skipping a beat.
Utena shook her head. "No... now, together."
Shine with me.
