-(Y/n)'s POV-
*humming*
(You) : Shio...
Shio: Oh... What is this, I wonder? I don't... *wipe her tears* like this one...
Soma: Because it's a song of parting, that's why.
Shio: A song of parting...
Soma: I'll never see my loved one again...
(You) : *heart tighten*
Soma: That's what the words say.
Shio: I see... But... we did meet again.
Soma: Jeez, that's because I came looking for you! *smile*
(You) : *clutch your chest*
Soma: Let's go home, Shio.
Shio: Okay. *glowing again* Aughhhhhh!
Soma: Shio! Is it happening again?
Shio: I've got to go...
Soma: Hey! come back here! *shout* Shio!
Shio: *fainted*
Soma: Hey, what's wrong? Hey!
(You) : This doesn't look good, gotta go back now!
Soma: Damn! I don't get what's going on, but we're heading back to the Den!
(You) : That's what I've just said!
Soma: Sorry, but this is no time to argue. Let's go!
(You) : I...
Soma: *pick up Shio* Hurry up!
Lenka: Let's head back first, alright?
(You) : *nod*
-Sakuya's POV- -inside the Aegis-
Sakuya: Ugh... Security's pretty tight. I should be at the center soon. I can't see ahead... *gasp* But this is...?
*alarm triggered* *bullet coming toward Sakuya*
Alisa: *run to the front of Sakuya and defend her, then shoot the weapon* Oh! That was close, wasn't it?
Sakuya: Alisa?
Alisa: Well, I thought it just wouldn't do for you to die after leaving me behind! Now do would it?
Sakuya: You...
Johannes: Welcome to Aegis! I knew you two would come... So tell me, are you crushed that it's nothing like the utopia you imagined it would be?
Sakuya: Director... So it was you... What's the meaning of all this?
Johannes: So, he was able to arrange a way to infiltrate this place as well, Sakuya? Such a shame, really... Truly, his loss will be deeply felt.
Sakuya: You lied! It was you... You were behind it all, weren't you?
Johannes: Yes, that's quite right. Apparently, he had another master. So I made a move before I could get bitten. He acted... too soon. We have yet to discover the key to launching the Devouring Apocalypse - The Singularity. As such, we couldn't allow word of the Ark Project to get out. The Devouring Apocalypse set off by the Aragami will lead to... this planet's total destruction and regeneration. It will be a complete regeneration. All species will be exterminated... and the history of life will be rewritten. Passage to the New World... An Ark for conveying the human species and its legacy... That is the Ark Project. But unfortunately, this Ark bound for the New World has limited capacity. A limited of berths linked to the next generation. Only the truly superior have a right to take them, no?
