-Oh, you look so cute here! - Parfinora chattered in a way that was completely uncharacteristic for her, like a little girl - can I keep this photo?

— Of course, — the guy agreed without hesitation, but then he lowered his head, — you know, maybe Ikigai really isn't for me... Thank you for helping me understand that, and I'm sorry for snapping at you.

Miya was silent for a long time and looked down.
-- I don't really want there to be a war. Are there any good moments in war? - she finally said thoughtfully.

— Life is war, and if you don't believe that, nothing but pain awaits you.
Having said this with her usual smile on her face, Eli, like Reila before her, walked away, leaving Xenomia standing alone.
