Epilogue~The Beach

Nagisa sighed as he watched the ship sail away. He leaned against the railing as the wind blew in his hair.

"Hey, we got food," Karma interrupted, making Nagisa turn his attention away from the sea.

Keiji dramatically dropped down, slurping on his noddles as he leaned against the railing, waiting for the others to join him.

"You okay, Nagi?"

Nagisa blinked, smiling softly as he took the food from Karma. "Yeah. I think so. I didn't think I would miss them, but it's going to be lonely without them."

Keiji hummed, leaning against Nagisa's shoulder. "You think they'll write."

"Will you even be able to understand them if they do?"

Keiji huffed, pouting as he turned his head to glare at Nagisa. "Rude. Not my fault I'm missing half a brain."

That caused Karma to perk up. While he had received the same explanation as everyone else, he did not connect the dots. "Wait, you're missing part of your brain?"

Keiji blinked. "Well, yeah. Otherwise, I would be insane."

"That explains so much."

"Hey. Only I get to say that." Keiji crossed his arms as Nagisa laughed.

"Stop complaining. You're too sweet for that." Nagisa leaned in, kissing Keiji before he could complain.

Keiji turned an impressive shade of red as he buried himself in Nagisa's shoulder. "I don't like how bold you've gotten."

Nagisa smirked as he took Keiji's hand. He could feel Karma staring, and instead of being a positive influence, he smirked more. "If you just stare, you won't get anything."

Karma gently shuffled forward. "You sure?"

Nagisa chuckled, pulling Karma in for a kiss. "I'm your boyfriend. Of course, I want to kiss you."

"Where on Earth did you get this confidence boost from?" Karma chuckled as Nagisa hummed.

"Guess that's what happens when you take out an Eldrigde horror and confront your past."

Keiji hummed. "I predict it'll be gone by the end of the week."

"Only the end?" Karma tilted his head. "I thought we were due a Nagisa Life Crisis in a few days."

"I am not that unstable," Nagisa huffed as his boys shared a look.

"Sure thing." This time, they both placed a kiss on Nagisa's cheek, making him squeak in surprise before huffing.

"Just eat your food."

The boys laughed as they leaned against Nagisa's side. When Nagisa finished eating, he began tracing patterns on their arm, slowly luring them into a sense of calm against the beach.

Nagisa yelped as he spotted Kanko waiting for him and Keiji's return. "Can we help you?"

Kanko snorted. "Did you already forget? I know the weeks have been a bit hectic for you, but we are here for a reason."

"A reason?" Keiji tilted his head as Kanko raised his eyebrow.

"Yeah. You wanted the locations of the other survivors, right?"

"Others? Others survived?" Nagisa's eyes lit up as Kanko nodded.

"According to The American Idiot Leader, two were your friends."

"Ouji and Tomi?" Nagisa and Keiji shared a look as Kanko brought out the file, handing it to them.

"The testing they were doing before the mouse killed them had a purpose. They were sending us to war. One person from each experiment. Your friends represented T and F. The K-Kid is from my clan, and we want him back. You don't want anyone else to get hurt. Then help us save them."

Nagisa gulped as he stared at the paper. "Where do we start?"
