2. To Make Right
Shouma was an ordinary boy.
Somehow, that made this worse. They were ordinary kids thrown into a monster world and all they were there to do was stop an ordinary boy controlled by his own greed and guilt and some monstrous human who had thrown aside his morals and his livelihood for something.
He had begged for help at the end too. He had begged to be saved like any other person.
But Himari could not save him. Not the spirit. He had caused something that killed her friend, their friend. She was not as forgiving as Takuto.
She'd happily smack that kid Shouma too if she could. If it would bring Shiki back. If it would make this a happy ending instead of a broken one. But for now she could only sit and watch as the world was repaired and hope. Maybe Shiki's data was in there somewhere. Maybe.
Because they didn't know why Mirei was there, did they? No one knew, they just had to trust her because she knew what had to be done. Somehow.
Maybe she would know what to do about Shiki, about this. It was going to come out after all that she had disappeared. And then what?
But for now, it was time to go back. Because she had to go home and feed her sisters. Because she needed a shower desperately. Because what could they do now? Nothing, that was what. Because in the end, she and Kouta were just extra bits with no story and a whole lot of uselessness.
So she went home and Rikka chirped in her V-Pet. And Himari did cry like a foolish little kid for a lot of reasons.
Her sisters didn't understand and Mom wasn't home so it was okay. She was home now.
