Back to Tokyo

[Mei Station - Special Platform] [20:00]
Makoto, Daichi, Io and Joe are gathered at the special JP's platform...

Daichi: We can finally go back... I don't know why, but I'm incredibly tired.

> You've been through a lot.

Daichi: True. Um... Thanks for saving me, by the way. Seriously.

> Shall we stay the night?

Daichi: Wh...!? C'mon, why do you have to turn it into a joke?

Io: I'm just relieved Daichi's still alive... and we managed to defeat Phecda.

Makoto: Indeed. The Nagoya office has already recovered most of its functions as well.
Daichi: It's all thanks to you. We truly owe you a debt.

> Don't worry about it.

Joe: Hey, look at Hiro acting all cool around Makoto.

> Then pay up!

Joe: Hahaha, what he said! If this was normal life, I'd be demanding a heft bonus.

Makoto: Haha... Well, it's about time. Let's head back to Tokyo.

[The party start walking to the waiting train.]

Airi's Voice: W-Wait! ...Wait! I said, "Wait," you moron!

[Air and Jungo run down onto the platform.]

Joe: ...Oh no, Ban, Jumbo. What's the matter?

Jungo: ...I'm seeing Hiro off, because they're going home.

Airi: Hey, what the heck!? I'm the one who said we should see them off!

Makoto: Ban, calm down. Did you both come here to say goodbye?

Airi: Well... Uh, yeah, but...
Airi: See!? I'm all embarrassed now!

[Airi whacks Jungo on the back of the head. It sounds... painful.]

Daichi: Whaaaat...

Io: ...... Ouch. That hurt...

Airi: Uhh... Well, and then... Ummm...

Airi holds something out...

> Thanks.

Airi: Oh... S-Sure. You're welcome.

> Looks gross.

Airi: It's not gross! It's yummy! God, you're such an idiot!

Jungo: Hiro. I made this.

> Thank you.

Jungo: Mhm... I'm going to keep on making them, so relax and eat it.

> Again...?

Jungo: Mhm... I'll make it as many times as you want. It's my signature dish.

Io: Why chawanmushi...?

Airi: Oh, see...! It's time! Get on the train!

Joe: Phew. Well, let's go.

[The party board the train. Before Hiro can get on...]

Jungo: Thanks, guys. Come back to Nagoya sometime.

Airi: If you don't, we'll come to Tokyo! B-Be safe...!

[Hiro boards the train. Jungo waves goodbye as the train leaves. After the train is gone, Jungo turns and wipes the tears off Airi's face, who responds with another hard whack to the back of his head. Back in Tokyo...]

Jungo: Phew, we're here...

Makoto: Good work, all of you.
Makoto: I still have work to do, but you're free to do as you wish.

[Everyone except Daichi leaves. Makoto follows but stops, realising Daichi isn't leaving with them.]

Makoto: ...Shijima?

Daichi: Uh... Huh?

[Everyone comes back.]

Makoto: What's the matter? Do you feel ill?

Daichi: Oh... no. It's nothing like that...

Makoto: ...You can tell me anything. Don't hold back.

Daichi: Uh... Well... Am I allowed to go back to JP's? Like, to my room and stuff...?

Makoto: ...? Of course. What are you talking about?

Daichi: Oh... Well... I... I failed pretty epically back there. You aren't kicking me out?
Daichi: I mean, I'm only here because things worked out. I'm not part of JP's... I was worried.

Makoto: Don't be ridiculous. All of you are our precious comrades.
Makoto: Forget what happened. JP's will still welcome you.

Io: Makoto... Thank you.

> Good for you!

Io: Uh... Hiro... What are you getting at?

Joe: Yeah. You're in the same position as Daichi and Io, you know.

Daichi: You too...

> That's because we're useful.

Io: Um... Hiro... I don't think that's a very nice thing to say...

Joe: Hm...? Yeah. I don't think that's very nice.

Daichi: Even you...

> Thank you.

Joe: Hm...? Yeah. You should never forget grattitude.

Daichi: Look who's talking...

Makoto: Heh heh... You're an interesting bunch. Crying one moment, laughing the next.
Makoto: But... perhaps that liveliness is the source of your strength...

[Makoto leaves.]

Joe: ...Well, then. Can we go home? Man, I'm hungry...

Daichi: Oh, come on! Way to ruin the mood there!
