[ Aki leans into the embrace, nuzzling lightly against his shoulder. It hurts to say what she's going to say, but... at least she'd been allowed to say goodbye to her most important one. ]

I paid off my debt. [ Aki lifts her head to look him in the eyes. She's sure she doesn't have to explain what that means. ]

[notsogrimreaper]

You paid off...

[It hits him hard. He can look back in his memories, and instead of just replacing her name with the work one, he can remember it now. He can remember every syllable. He squeezes her tightly, whispering her name to her as he stares deep into her eyes.]

Minako...

[accountables]

Yeah.

[ It hurts her, too. He'd just gotten her back, all those months ago, and now she's leaving. Ugh. The witch really does have horrible timing... but Minako squeezes him just as tightly, leaning up just slightly to bump her forehead against his. ]

I wish I could stay, cuz we didn't get enough time together, huh?

[notsogrimreaper]

[He's laughing, and he's not even sure why. It's a hurt, bitter sound, but a relieved one as well.]

I knew I was going to be separated from you eventually. I guess I shouldn't be surprised it felt like it was too soon.
