You know, counting Naegi vanishing as a kick in the balls from last year, I was hoping this year would be calm. And it almost was! We almost had a whole year where nobody got shot, or stabbed, or threatened directly! Almost!

Absolutely no one.
Especially not with what I want to give you.

*Mikan cuddles in even closer*

The job in question will be to work as bodyguards for the head of Specucorp, a new corporation which recently snatched up the last remains of what was once Monaca Towa’s company, and are currently in negotiations with Byakuya Togami to buy what remains of his company. It’s head, Irija Dun, is a very private man, making almost no public appearances ever. I already have his secretary sending me as much information as she can glean, however, that’s not much. Having more than one person on the inside would be incredibly valuable.

You’re tellin’ us we get to be spies? Hell yeah, we’re in!

She didn’t tell us anything, ever! She actively worked against us getting home!

And why? Probably so she could continue watching my dad from afar, because in twenty years, she never got over a stupid schoolgirl crush!

And in the end, it’s all for nothing, because my dad is fucking dead and I shouldn’t exist anymore.

*Takumi immediately flops down on their bed when they get there.*
No, no, not like that. It’s kinda like…when you rub your socks on the carpet and you get shocked when you touch a doorknob? Something like that.
I’ve been feeling it a lot lately, and I don’t know why. People have told me Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity isn’t real, but I can feel something. -Mitsuru

I’m awful with science terms, but that sounds interesting…

I only speak the truth.
And you and me, after everything we’ve been through, we’ve more than earned this. The right to be together, to have a family, and to be happy.

Damn right.

Nobody is going to be able to take this from us.

… thanks.
*Cate quickly finishes, seeming to reach an agreement with the person on the other end of the line, before approaching Cassia.*
Cate: How’d it go?
“….” Kamiko scoffs at Nine’s words, walking off. Curse him and his words, curse Shirogane for her mockery of her, and curse Maverick Storm for the situation she was in. “I’m going out, we may be in hiding, but today showed we need to keep our skills sharp.”

Go.
