When Hazel boards their ship, she is left in awe. Emi is chittering but she's staring, awestruck. The sight that meets her eyes when they land though is even more beautiful. Goddamn, she thinks she might be a bit breathless. And Ken is beyond amused by her reaction. She looks at him, a look that plainly says 'can you blame me?' He shakes his head. She smiles at him.

She watches the sun as it's slowly sinking below the horizon, becoming one with the Earth, and the water glistens. And she's just left speechless. She turns to look around at Emi, who chitters. And she grins at the kaiju.

Later, she's given a tour around the house, and Ken looks like he's not seen it in a while, which Hazel learns that, he hasn't. And when she notices a board in one of the rooms, and she notices pictures, of Emiko Sato, she doesn't enter. But Mr. Sato and Ken do. She leaves them there.

She sits outside, watches Emi chase Mina, and the conversation she hears makes her heart clench. And she can't really tell if that's a good thing or not.

She doesn't even realise when Ken's walked out, and it's a bit closer to the sun completely setting. But he sits down next to her. She spares him one glance, a small smile. He places a hand on her thigh, how he does when they drive back home from games. Her heart flutters. And she smiles. Apparently he knows exactly how to make her smile.
