"It sounds like you've lived quite the life." Chiryu comments.

"It's far from over." I begin and quietly say,

"I wish it'd all end."

"Why didn't Chiryu give you a normal life?" Kenji asks.

"I sent her off on her own. I sent her to Phoenix Claw for a reason." Chiryu tells him.

"So, you're saying that you're the start of her problems? It's always the damn parents." Sashida remarks.

"We don't know that much about you, Senshi." Kenji comments.


"Aren't we all keeping secrets? We're all hiding something. It's the same for all of us." I counter.

"You've never tried to talk about your problems." Kokoro declares.

"I don't need to. My problems are and will always be my own." I counter, getting slightly annoyed with the constant prying from them.

"Don't be so quick to draw a line like that." Kenji suggests.

"Let's not try to pry things." Chiryu suggests.

"I still think Chiryu is the cause of all of this. The cause of Senshi's problems." Sashida adds, seemingly suspicious. 

"Even if she was, what does it matter? It's in the past. It doesn't matter anymore." I counter.

"You guys should get some rest, tomorrow will be a long day." Chiryu suggests.

They all went to bed, I stayed awake.

"Why won't you sleep, Senshi? Is it that you're on edge?" Chiryu asks.

"I don't need to sleep." I tell her.

"Rest, it's going to be a long day. You need the energy." Chiryu tells me.

I was tired of her bugging me about it, so I just did as she asked.

We all ate breakfast and got ready to leave.

"Are you all ready?" Chiryu asks.

"Yeah!" They all scream.

"Let's kick some ass!" Sashida yells.

"I'm hyped up!" Kokoro yells.

"Let's go!" I demand.
