nightime.
ryuko and varakiel were in the surface of the desolated osaka.
Ryuko: this is osaka? it's horrible
Varakiel: i suppose it is. how can people live in here?
Ryuko: no, i am talking before it was destroyed…..
Varakiel: i know hahaha...this is all the result of the power of life fibers. as well as yours and mine.
ryuko sits on the ground.
Ryuko: yeah.
Varakiel: aikuro was right to keep it in the dark, i didn't knew combat life fiber were outer space species.
Ryuko: heh, this, coming from you? i though you knew everything aniki.
Varakiel: i just know what i know.
Ryuko:...aniki...i'm scared.
Varakiel: as it should be ryuko-chan, war is scary.
Ryuko: it's like, something that was just a brawl turned into some grand battle full of crazy crap i don't understand like the fate of humanity and the extinction of the species or whatever. "i don't give a crap about that!" that's what i really wanted to say. but i put the blame on you for me getting mad.
Varakiel: no, you did get angry on my behalf, ryuko-chan.
*pat* *pat*
a tentacle pats ryuko's head.
Ryuko:.....*smile*
Varakiel: you're a kind, but at the same time strong person. that's who you are ryuko matoi.
*rat-tat-tat-tat*
Ryuko hears shoots from afar.
and she sees tsumugu training his shooting.
Ryuko: what's his deal?
Aikuro walks behind ryuko.
Aikuro: tsumugu kinagase's older sister died in a life fiber experiment. after dr. matoi founded nudist beach, his top assistant was tsumugu's sister, kinue kinagase. only life fibers can fight life fibers. to create life fibers that would obey a human's will. that's what dr.matoi and knue's research was directed towards. and during one experiment….
Ryuko: so she's the "foolish woman" he mentioned, huh?...but i remember varakiel saying he meet her, if she was death how it was....
Varakiel: it was when i was still a human, i didn't specify when, did i?
Ryuko: oh right, then how come mikisugi and mohawk men don't?
Varakiel: *sigh* the experiement that your father was conducting on me wasn't a matter of months ryuko-chan, i endured pain for several years while i was in that basement, kinue would some times confort me but then she stopped coming...so that's what happened to her.
Ryuko: ah....sorry i made you remember something like that.
Varakiel: it's okay ryuko-chan, everything paid off, i am here with you, that's what matters now.
Ryuko: *nod*
Varakiel: (lily you can change it now?)
Lily: (yeah with this part of the history i can change the past so your lie becomes true, but please refrain from lying to your loved ones this much)
Varakiel: (i know, but it was necessary, for my loved ones i would do anything to protect them, even if it means becoming the villain of the history)
Lily: (really? then after this world is over we really want to see you act as a villain!)
Varakiel: ( I have a world in mind, take your pick, evangelion, date a live, fate, choose one.
Lily: (okay! we will give you our choice after reviewing them all!)
Ryuko: earlier, he said that i'd share her fate.
Aikuro: oh, right. "please continue the experiments." those were kinue's dying words. dr. matoi made furthers improvements and completed varakiel. varakiel life fibers have been spliced with your central nervous system's DNA.
Ryuko: what!?
Aikuro: that's why he can only speak with you and be worn by you. he's a combat uniform that dr. matoi made especially for you.
Ryuko:....so dad did something like that….why?
Aikuro: he said he did it to protect you.
Ryuko:...*nod* ( dad, varakiel, i swear i will stop this madness.)
...…
Soroi: your tea.
Satsuki: thank you.*slurp* i've drunk a lot of your tea, haven't i, soroi?
Soroi: yes, i have been making it for you since you were five.
Satsuki: ah, yes. ever since that day. the day father showed me junketsu for the first time.
*flashback*
Satsuki: that day, father said to me…."this will be your wedding dress."
Soroi: yes, i have heard.
Satsuki: i suppose it was on that day that all this really began. it seems like only yesterday. even this tea that i once found so bitter is now delicious.
Soroi then stood in front of satsuki.
Satsuki: What is it?
Soroi: you….found it bitter?
Satsuki: i never mentioned that?
Soroi: from the very first cup, you smiled, saying that it was delicious. to think you were merely humoring me and enduring the bitterness. i beg your forgiveness.
Satsuki:...*exhale* it's fine already….i suppose i was a kindhearted girl back then.
Soroi: no, you're still that same girl even now satsuki-sama.
satsuki: how so?
Soroi: you are trying to build your relationship with your sister ryuko matoi-sama. these are the words of varakiel-sama "even the more ruthless tyrant had something to protect before becoming who they were, don't allow yourself to lose that."
Satsuki: something to protect….maybe….yeah, i suppose he's right, she and Junketsu are everything i have left from my father.
satsuki looks at the moon with a smile.
Satsuki:....Soroi-san, please give me another cup of tea.
Soroi:.......*inhale* heheh, very well, satsuki-chan.
soroi says with a shining smile on his face.
