"How much longer until you get off those crutches?" Jaku asks as he checks up on Kuroko. The student council has just finished their last few patrols to make sure everyone was doing their job of cleaning up the school, and Megami watches over them proudly.

"Give or take a few months." Kuroko replies. "I really hate these things."

"I've never seen so much blood come out of your arm..." Aoi says.

"At least you can hide your scar better." Jaku replies. "I've got to keep this sleeve rolled up so if this accidentally bleeds I won't stain the uniform. How about you Akane? Feeling any better over there?"

"No, not really." Akane says, looking down at the big brace wrapped around her chest and waist.

"I don't think I'm doing any better either." Shiromi says, looking at her sling. "I think we all took quite the beating from Ayano, but at least she's gone."

"I think we're all relieved." Megami says, looking at Jaku's bandaging. "I think for once we can all relax."

"At least." Jaku says as a certain flower girl enters the council room.

"Who's ready for the weekends?" Shiromi asks out loud.

"I know I'm ready." Jaku replies as he stands by Uekiya and shares a kiss.

"I totally called it." Aoi chuckles. "Make sure you don't go making him bleed!"

"I won't, don't worry." Uekiya giggles as she walks off with Jaku.

"Have fun you two!" Megami calls out. It had been quite the rollercoaster for Jaku, from simply being a nobody, to befriending Uekiya, to befriending and joining the student council, and taking down Ayano. It's safe to say he'll have many memories of Akademi High, some he will carry with him for the rest of his life as he looks into Uekiya's eyes dreamily.
