Now that the monster was defeated, everyone returned to the Dino-house, taking Olmesu with them. Before they allowed him to leave at all, everyone told him his full name, which still didn't mean anything to him. But Ryunnosuke knew just the right thing to say.

"You told us before that you've retired." he said, "And were looking for a real challenge. Well, finding out about yourself may be the challenge you were looking for."

"If that's what I was looking for, then yes, I must have found it." Olmesu replied.

"Glad to hear you agree." Ryunnosuke added, after which he slipped him a few yen.

"Oh please, old man, I can't take that." Olmesu refused, "I mean..."

"No, you must, 'old man'." Ryunnosuke insisted, "It's only right."

Olmesu looked at the money he was given, then back at the curry-shop owner, then decided there was no way around it by putting the money in his pocket.

"Well, I hope I'll see you people again. You've been a great help." he said as he left.

Everyone bid him farewell, but still there was no real reason for anyone to be happy.

"It's sad that Doyle's plan failed." Yukito said, "Maybe he should have asked me to hire the F.B.I. again."

"I can guess how he'd react if you did that." Ryouga responded, "Remember when we thought we had found his parents again?"

"It's a sad thing." Ryunnosuke agreed, "But we can still hope that even if he won't know anything, he'd still have a happy life."

"That's something we can take care of." Ryouga was convinced.

"I'm sure we will!" Mai sounded cheerful.

"You're all quite the optimistic bunch." Nakadai remarked.

"I'm still worried though." Ranru didn't sound so happy, "I mean, it meant everything to Akakuro-kun that he'd find out about his past, and now the man who was to investigate him has lost his memory..."

"Yes." Asuka agreed, "And although his rage helped to fix the shield, it still worried me to see that there was so much of it."

"I don't think Doyle-sama would turn bad or anything." Mai was convinced.

"And why do you keep calling him Doyle-sama?" Ryouga wondered.

"At least in this life of his, he has one person that admires him." Yukito said, flatly, "Maybe a little too much."

"I'm sure she's fond of him, but not that much." Ranru told him.

"I wasn't talking about Mai." he replied, looking at her curiously.

Ranru didn't know what to say to what he just implied.

"Speaking of Doyle anyway." Asuka wondered, "Anyone saw where he was going?"

Neither one of them noticed, again, that he sneaked away from the group. This time, he was on top of a small mountain, looking down upon the city.

"What is it that has Hammond so obsessed about trying to hide my history? I can't understand it." Doyle complained.

"If he wants to try and persuade us to go back to him, he's going in the wrong way, isn't he?" Roxton reasoned.

Doyle allowed his head to rest on his knees: "He must be getting desperate. Still, he acts as though he doesn't want me to know anything. Wonder why."

"So he can tell you more lies?" Roxton thought out loud, "More things you must believe?"

"Why doesn't he try to tell me that some guy that lives at the Earth's poles would come to give me presents?" Doyle sarcastically remarks.

"At least two good things came out of it." Roxton said, "Since he was attacked at Mai's school, that must mean that your past is somewhere to be found in that school."

Doyle hadn't thought of it that way, still he wanted to know: "And the other thing?"

"Seeing as how everyone reacted to Olmesu's inquiry, it means that they would do anything to help you. That the Abarangers do care about you."

Doyle sighed: "I suppose it does. Still..."

"What? What's wrong?"

"All we know is that I might have been at Mai's school when I was younger, nothing more." Doyle replied, "I don't know my name or my exact age, so I don't know where I should look. I don't even know if any picture of me still exists. I have no way of knowing for sure if..."

A tear started to run down Doyle's face: "... if I'd find out anything."

"If not even a pep-talk from me helps anymore..." Roxton whined, "Now you're making me depressed."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." Doyle replied.

"So now what do you wanna do?" Roxton asked.

Doyle looked out to the setting sun, after which he replied: "I don't know. I really need some company."

"You have me." Roxton reminded him.

"Someone less depressed than either one of us, I mean." Doyle replied, "Someone who may have a better understanding of what goes through me, as a person."

"I understand." Roxton replied, "But I gather you don't want the company of all of THEM at once, so right now is not the time to come back."

"No, you're right about that." Doyle replied.

Once night has fallen, Doyle returned to the Dino-house. Under normal circumstances he'd return to his own room. But he feels a little too down for that. Instead, he entered the room of the one person he always felt comfortable with, Ranru. He hoped she'd still be awake, but she wasn't. Seeing her lying in her bed as peacefully as she did, Doyle couldn't bear to even think of waking her up, just to talk to him. Instead, he decided to lay down next to her and wrap his arm around her. It wouldn't be the first time he spent an entire night in a room with her, but it is the first time he spent it with her like this. It gave him a warm feeling, which he desperately needed.

THE END
