"Of course... you don't have to thank me. You saved my life as well, when you helped stop that madman, you know" he said with a fatherly smile. "This is the least I can do. Just let me know beforehand if you intend to work with any given organization in particular, otherwise just take it easy and let me know when you're ready to leave. I'll reserve a flight as soon as possible as soon as you let me know."

Of course just give us a few days to decide and set our affairs in order."

"Understood... just take it easy until then. We'll miss you, but we'll manage", he said with a smile. "You two were my best officers, despite your... occasional antics", he joked. "It's been a pleasure working with you both."
"Likewise, chief", Natsumi said, saluting.

Natsumi accompanied her, only for the duo to surprise Aoi and Yoriko who were very obviously listening at the door.
"...H-Heh... um, hey", Aoi let out nervously.
"Awww... I'm gonna miss you both a lot, too!" YOriko let out, hugging them both at once.

"We'll miss both of you too." Miyuki said tears flowing down freely as she hugged both of them.

"Don't worry, we'll make sure this place doesn't crumble into rubble while you're away", Aoi joked, hugging her back.
"Right. Don't forget to protect this kid while I'm gone too", Natsumi said playfully, pointing at Yoriko while she hugged her.
"I'm not a kid", Yoriko grumbled, but hugged her even more anyway.
Aoi smiled. "And you take care of our Miyuki."
"Trust me, I will", Natsumi promised.

Miyuki just blushed, said her goodbyes and left.

"Well, that went emotional fast", Natsumi said, smiling, as she wiped off tears from her own eyes. "Heheheh. Didn't expect me to pull that one on you, did you?" she added as she sat in the car.

Natsumi raised an eyebrow, initially avoiding her gaze, but nodded and looked back at her.
"...Back then... on that rooftop. When you hit that guy with the mask, I quickly got up when I heard the last gunshot. I made sure all of the Yakuza were K.O, and then I checked on you to make sure you were alive. And... then I heard Ken-san's voice."
She sighed, biting her lower lip.
"...He didn't die instantly, he was still conscious for a moment. And, well... his last words were... 'Take care of Miyuki'. I... I promised that I would. And then he... then it was over."

"I see." She said downbeat a little, but not crying this time. "Wheel, can you just drive us around for a bit, and shapeshift the frontseats so that I can lay down?" She asked the car.

"At your. Service", the car/Stand said via its radio, doing just that.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier", Natsumi said aplogetically. "I was planning to let you know as soon as you felt better, so I thought now was as good a moment as any."

Making sure her seatbelt would still protect her from a sudden stop she slipped off her shoes and lay down across the seat her tiny feet resting in Natsumi's lap.

"Um... Is there some unspoken language here I do not understand?" Natsumi asked, blushing a bit.
