"Well? How is it?"

"Duo's dead."

"He is? Excellent."

"Yes. His body was lying on the kitchen floor when Heero came home. He had the most intriguing mental breakdown. We sent him upstairs to bed."

"Wonderful. I want the braid."

"What? You want...why?"

"Because I know that seeing Duo's braid would tell Wufei in the most painful way possible that Duo is dead."

"Ooh, you are a vicious bastard my love."

"Aren't I just?"

"That's why I love you so much."

"Mm, and I you."
