"That is how the story goes. The hero will defeat the villain, and cleanse-"

The electromaster's eyes nearly glow in the dimness of the room, stepping closer despite Accelerator's raised brow.

"He- punched the villain-"

"Is that the story you wish to tell?"

"It is- the only story after all." His story.

"Do you believe that, No.1? Really?"

Her eyes gleam, a bit of electromagnetic pulse grazing vector, and Mikoto- No, Accelerator should-

"We could give this story… a kinder ending." She inhales, gleaming eyes gone soft. "Couldn't we?"

A soft touch.

Mikoto rises to her toes as her plain white shirt drops, and Accelerator knows this kiss is nothing like an ending he wished for.
