A dark past to a bright future

Final chapter

Iris (wraps her arm around Souji's hip while smiling): We should get going. We can't stay here forever. (after Souji pinchs her cheeks to stretch them) Ow.

Souji: You make my heart too soft when I'm around you.

Iris (while Souji picks Iris's bag up): I feel the same around you too dummy.

Souji (hold his hand out): The taxi should be here about now.

Iris (while taking Souji's hand): Let's go home.

(flat Ruby room)

Ruby (hugs Iris wearing her comfy outfit): You're here. (at the same time backing away) Cold.

Iris (and Souji put their sword bag down): We just came from outside.

Ruby (while walking away): I'll make us a hot drink.

Iris (at the same time taking her coat off): I feel bad that Ruby's room is like a hang-out room.

Souji (takes Iris's coat after taking his coat off): Ruby likes our company.

Ruby (walking over with two hot drinks while Souji hangs their coats up): Here you go, guys. 

Iris (after taking their cups): Thank you, Ruby.

Ruby: How does it feel finally having your girlfriend out of the hospital?

Souji (Iris blushed while taking a sip of her drink): It feels nice but please stop saying girlfriend. Iris is still getting used to the changes.

Ruby: My bad. I'm just happy for you too. (while walking away) By the way, I'm thinking of making a hot pot for dinner today to celebrate.

Souji: Having a hot pot sounds nice.

Iris (looks at Souji while he sips his drink): What's hot pot?

Souji: It's almost like a soup feast. We put things we like in the soup and eat it with friends or family.

Iris (smiling): Sounds tasty.

Ruby (wearing her street outfit but holding a hip-length cloak coat): Let's go.

Iris (confused): Go where?

Ruby (take their empty cups): To the shops. (while putting the two cups in the kitchen sink) We need the ingredients for the hot pot.

Souji (look at a message after his phone vibrates): That will have to wait.

Ruby (walking over): Your dad has a job for us?

Souji (while putting his phone away): Yeah. Seems like they found another hideout that belongs to the Blood Blossom gang. (look at Iris) Would you like to assist us?

Ruby: Hold up Souji. Iris was just released from the hospital...

Iris (interrupting): And I still want to come. (look at Ruby) Your father was kind enough to train me to get my strength back.

Ruby: Can't believe he did that behind my back. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Souji's dad asked my dad to do that.

Souji (passes Iris's coat before getting his own coat): Iris will be fine. She'll be with us so there's no point in worrying.

Ruby (puts her hip bag on while Iris puts her coat cloak on): You should be more worried about her safety than me.

Souji (putting his coat on): That's because I believe in her.

Ruby (putting her cloak coat on): You better stick with her.

Souji: I know what I'm doing Ruby. (picks his katana up putting it on his shoulder) So please stop telling me what to do. (looks at his phone after it vibrates): Dad outside. (opening the door) Let's head out team.

Ruby (putting her daggers on top of her hip bag after grabbing them): Back into the cold we go.

Iris (in her mind following behind carrying her sword bag): Finally I can help out to give my family name a new start. (smiling) I couldn't do this without my friend's support.
