The structure and content may be confusing.

Aubrey Air Force Base, Cape Aubrey, Federal Republic of Aurelia, Planet Strangereal

It was a fierce battle, unprecedented throughout history. Although Darklord Sauron and her faction of evil had been vanquished, but freedom didn't come for free, Lieutenant Colonel Ryuji Hasuma was the only one who back to the base while the rest of Flaco Squadron didn't, the damage level of his YR-99 super-fighter was at 99%, it was a miracle that it didn't fall apart while he was touching down on runway. The pilot himself was bleeding awfully when picked up from cockpit by the shocked medic staff, but at least he was lucky for still being alive. Yet for Ryuji himself, lucky or not doesn't even matter anymore, since her name is on the list of missing personnel of Flaco Squadron of Aurelian Air Force.

Infirmary Sector, Basement Level 3, Aubrey Air Force Base

Ryuji is immediately put under medical treatment and observation after extracted from his near-wrecked fighter. He is lying on sickbed, with many instruments linked to his body. No expressions can be found on him, although he's conscious, but only stares at wall and ceiling absent-minded, silently.

Although the relationship between each other is not friendly even kinda adverse, but his colleague in air force, leader of Gryphus Squadron, Lieutenant Colonel Makoto Ito, frequently visits Ryuji and brings him his specialized homemade patient meals. For reason unknown, Ryuji cannot quickly regenerate to full-health as usual, each time his condition turns a little better, then worsens again. Makoto sometimes even think what he is looking at is some kind of illusion, the boy in front of him, his entire body and soul are soaked with suffocating pain and sorrow, his bright, beautiful blue iris are lusterless, extremely similar to that one, when Makoto betrayed her.

"What are you writing, Lieutenant Colonel?" One week later, when Makoto visits Ryuji again with his daily special delivery, he finds him is sitting on bed, and is writing something on a notebook.

"I'm trying to write a story about Koto-chan's life without me."

"…" Makoto doesn't know what to say, during these days, he never mentions that name before Ryuji, the angel they both love.

Ryuji: "But every time I pick up the pen, I find nothing to be put down. Maybe…I can't image her life without me, just like I can't image my life without her."

Makoto: "Don't think this way, Hasuma, she will come back to you safe and sound…" He tries to make Ryuji feels a little better, but immediately regrets what he say, Ryuji isn't that type for romantic expectations. Makoto feels something shatters inside himself.

"You go on, it's getting late." Ryuji changes his posture to a more comfortable one, however even such a tiny movement now is so painful.

"Try not to think too much, you gotta regenerate to full-health as fast as possible." Makoto assists him to lie properly and leaves, at he reaches the door, Ryuji's voice comes from back: "Thank you for taking care of Tatsu and Kohana these days."

Makoto: "I consider them as my important nephew and niece all the time. Don't worry, I know what to do." He switches off lights and closes the door lightly.

Makoto freezes outside the door for a while, every time he leaves this infirmary, he will stand still for minutes to overhear the movements inside, only walks away after everything is confirmed normal. In past days Ryuji is in such a state, absent-minded, thinks and acts strangely. He doesn't belong to this world, Makoto speaks in mind, he only belongs to her. Thinks in this way, Makoto walks down the corridor.

Ryuji lies in darkness, sleep had become a difficult issue, unfathomable sorrow and mortal pain form an unbreakable dome to confine him inside, just like the darkness surrounds him now.

"Take me to there!" Ryuji gets up from bed, but still cannot stand stable.

"You are not in that condition." Makoto grabs his arm to keep him from tumble and from walking.

Ryuji had drained all strength to stand up, his voice is exhausted but eager: "I must…see what is left of my wife!" A few hours ago, a salvage team brought back a remain of a YR-99, with the symbol of Flaco Squadron on its hull-a big azure rotundity with a fit-to-scale Aurelia's signature white hexagram inside, and a falcon is in front of the star, the rotundity has a yellow edge, outside the edge is a layer of black hoop, with ribbons up and down, signed "Federal Republic of Aurelia" and "Flaco Squadron", on the hull there are two capital letters "K" and "R" painted together in flower font-it's her plane.

Makoto doesn't let Ryuji to see the remain, because he's afraid, afraid that Ryuji will be crushed upon see it, although it is confirmed no pilot and pilot's seat in the cockpit of the remain, he's still afraid Ryuji will collapse when sees his angel's broken wings.

"You must live." One day, Makoto tells Ryuji, but his tone has no persuasion.

"I will." Ryuji's sight is not concentrated.

Makoto wants to say something more but eventually doesn't do so. He feels the boy will suddenly disappear in front of him, however, he won't be stunned if Ryuji really disappears, because he doesn't belong to this world from the beginning, and that person is the entire world to him.

Makoto begins to visit him more frequently, and brings him flowers and nice meals every time, he has determined to keep him here, alive, in this world. Ryuji had assured he'll live, but Makoto still can't be sure.

It's night, Makoto had cooked dinner for Tatsu and Kohana, arranges them to sleep properly after told bedtime stories of the day to the children. Suddenly he decides to go to infirmary, although he had been there a few hours ago.

Opens the door, switches on the light: "Hasuma, why do you get up…" His eyes widen as he sees the large crimson patches on the boy's patientclothes.

"Hasuma!" Makoto rushes to Ryuji and grabs him: "What happened to…doctor! Nurse! ANYONE! SCRAMBLE HERE!"

Makoto doesn't have the time to identify the position of bleeding, he only sees the blood-soaked sectors are rapidly expanding: "Why…Hasuma…WHY!"

"Ito…I will live, with her." Ryuji is smiling, just like when he is sitting in cockpit, gets ready to dance with his angel in the azure sky.

My angel, even I had become like this, you can still recognize me, right?

Exclusive Hangar of Flaco Squadron, Aubrey Air Force Base

It was once a squadron of super-fighters parking inside the structure, but now only one YR-99 is left. Besides the lonely flying vehicle, there are two boys standing together.

"Why you write the ending in this way?" Makoto finishes his reading on tablet computer, asks with frown.

Ryuji's expression is plain: "You are worrying."

"Even an abnormal person will be freaked out when reading these. You…"

"I will live." Ryuji interrupts Makoto: "I will bravely live with happiness and health every single day, take care myself and my children, for her."

Makoto: "You said similar in the story, but still…"

Ryuji looks out from the gate, into azure sky: "It is merely a possibility, possible but unlikely. I'll live, I live, she lives, always. This is a promise between us."

Makoto returns the computer to Ryuji and pats on his shoulder: "That's the Hasuma everyone wants. If there's anything I can help, just tell me." Ryuji had indeed clearly declared that he'll never forgive Makoto for his betrayal to Kotonoha years ago, but as time ticks, although the two are still adverse, there was an understanding began to emerge between them.

"She's alive and active." Ryuji puts his unoccupied hand to the position of his heart, tightly holds that beautiful and delicate snowflake pendant: "Right here, forever."

Ryuji Hasuma's Office, Aubrey Air Force Base

"Dad? Dad!" Radio operator Tatsu puts a pile of printed papers on Ryuji's desk, draws his attention from his ongoing ACE Combat video game.

Tatsu: "What is this? What had you written, dad?"

Ryuji's tone is peaceful: "I'm surprised you didn't delete it even print it out, son." He puts the joypad aside.

Tatsu: "So which one is your true thought, dad? The infirmary or the hangar?"

Ryuji: "I don't know either, son." His expression is innocent.

Tatsu: "C'mon, the prolonged peace had rendered everyone so idle, right?"

Ryuji: "I rarely show some romantic contents, even though it can't be admitted?"

A few minutes of silence, Tatsu leaves: "Well, if you need me, I'll be in the first control tower. And tell mom and Kohana, I'm not going back to our suite for dinner this evening, I'll enjoy some trigger-happy games in an arcade center in the town with bro."

After Tatsu walks away, Ryuji puts the pile of papers into file pulverizer.

------------------------

Griswall, Capital of Federal Republic of Aurelia

Ryuji saves the document, turns off the computer, stands up, takes a deep breath.

It's time to go to the grand opera hall in Gaiuss Tower and rendezvous with Koto-chan. This evening all members of Flaco Squadron and Gryphus Squadron are attending a concert of Mozart's piano concertos which is held in Gaiuss Tower. Tatsu and Kohana are attending too since they're addicted to classical music, now they are with their mom at the destination.

Ryuji moves to the wardrobe to change his clothes to fit the upcoming occasion before goes to garage to get his automobile, the beautiful and delicate snowflake pendant is shining on the position of his heart.
