Dragons... it's just like Ren-san to choose a place like that. [it's not like he can be surprised by dragons, considering the chaos in the stasis chamber involved far more than just humans... and, well. previous first-hand experience.] Of course I'll visit, as often as I can.

[that's a dangerous open invitation when you know nothing about anything really, aichi. ah, well. snow and cyberpunk doesn't sound too bad for a transition period, he supposes.

the gossamer-delicate positive mood dissipates as aichi blinks and his vision clears. out of the corner of his eye, he sees another star go dark. he thinks of cray, of king alfred and blaster blade - lord ahmes, he supposes, should they ever meet face-to-face. the rest of the paladins. chronojet, who had tried so hard and fought such an uphill battle. chrono himself, the new generation - his friends - kai. everything they'd fought for, swept away like so much sand in the wake of a tide.

he turns just so on one heel and holds his hand out to ren again.]

Could we... leave here? I don't think I can look at this much longer.
