It's hard to imagine that two years ago Heartland had been in ruins. The city was vibrant again, though there were the few that still kept a wary eye out.
Among those were the Kurosaki siblings and Yuuto. After all, one had been taken against her will and the other….even Yuuto couldn't explain it.
"I felt weightless…almost like a dream," he had said.
And Shun agreed. When Sakaki Yuuya told him that Yuuto was…for lack of a better expression, inside of him, his first reaction was shock, and the disbelief. Who would ever believe such a strange story?
"Nii-san, are you all right? Are you thinking about the friends you made in Standard?" Ruri's voice stopped his train of thought and he looked at her. She was holding a crepe out to him. He could see Yuuto behind her, quietly eating his.
"A little." Taking the crepe out of her hand, he bit into it, savoring the taste of chocolate and strawberry. "Thanks."
"Yuzu-chan was really nice." Shun grunted at this. He still remembered his first encounter with her and how easily he had mistaken her for Ruri. "You think we could go back and visit them sometime?"
Yuuto perked up at this. "Is it possible?" When had he gotten so tall? "I mean…with the bracelets…it kind of interferes with me ever meeting up with the others."
The two kept chattering, with Shun following behind them. Right now nothing mattered to him. Dimension hopping? Sure. Saving the world? Whatever. As long as they were together forever, Shun didn't care at all.
