Chapter Final
Aftermath
Alex is sitting in a corner, still devastated by the fact that he blew up a human being. Keine is trying to comfort him, but as a protector of humans, she isn't taking her kill very well either. Rumia's inhibitor has been placed back on her head, and she is pouting because 'flashy lady took away my fun'. Chen is sitting at a kotatsu, eating a fish, and Ran is still recovering on a nearby futon. Yukari and Alexis are discussing something in the corner opposite Alex and Keine. Reimu enters the room, carrying a platter with eight cups of tea on it.
She sets it on the kotatsu, then plops on the floor and says "Well, that sucked."
"Don't all incidents suck, Reimu?" Yukari says as she and Alexis sit at the kotatsu.
"Yeah, but this one particularly sucked. I know you don't care one way or the other, but I don't like killing people. I also don't really like cleaning up after kids who lost their lunch because they killed somebody." Reimu says.
"Well, excuse me for having a natural reaction to seeing seven dead bodies, and knowing that the only reason it wasn't eight is because I blew one of them to smithereens." Alex says, plopping himself down at the kotatsu. Keine sits beside him.
"You seem to have gotten over it rather quickly, though." Yukari says.
"That's the worst thing though, isn't it. Because one of the things I felt when that woman's gun blew up, among 'Oh god she's dead!' and 'Oh god half her face is gone that's disgusting!' was 'I'm hungry.' I know that youkai eat people, but I didn't realize that would extend to me!" Alex says.(1)
"If I had known you were hungry, I would have shared some with you." Rumia says.
"No thanks! Yukari, is eating people something I'm going to have to just deal with now, or can I still eat other things?" Alex says.
"Most youkai can eat other things. I know of a few that can't but they're rare, and since you were human to begin with, I doubt you're one of them." Yukari says.
"Well, that's good at least. Now I just need to deal with the whole 'I'm going to live until something kills me' bit." Alex says.
"Alexis out. Goodbye, base." Alexis says, turning off the earpiece before fading out of existence. I guess this means it worked, then.
Epilogue
597 Billion A.D.
Three people, one man and two women, are sitting at a bar. The man has a purple trilby and brown hair. The first woman has silver hair and a hat that still has yet to be named. The second woman has a cybernetic eye and blond hair. "Hey, Alexis, something I've been meaning to ask for a while now; can cyborgs actually get drunk?" the man says.
"Yeah, a little. It takes a lot more alcohol to do it, though. My turn: Why did you guys decide to pop back into the world now?" Alexis says.
Alex and Keine look at each other, smiling. Keine says "Just repaying an old favor."
"A favor? To who?" Alexis says.
"You wouldn't believe us if we told you, I don't think." Alex says.
"Eh, whatever. Not really any business of mine anyways." Alexis says, causing the two Gensokyoans to laugh. "What?" Alexis says indignantly.
"Oh, nothing. We'll tell you later." Keine says, still smiling.
(1) I couldn't actually find any information on whether tsukumogami eat people or not, so I'm assuming that, since they are youkai, they can.
