-- THE FINAL DAY. --

…

[ Tobio gained 4 HP ]

—

Tobio spends a long, solid while with a hand against the Memorial pole. It always seemed oddly quiet in this area, so it was a great place to get away and just… think. It was the final day, the final hour, and Tobio knew a fight was coming for him.

Even though he knew a fight was coming, it didn’t stop him from being unsure. If anything… it was the battle and whom it would be against that had him truly, truly wavering.  “I don’t know… what I’m thinking anymore. But if my gut feeling is true…” He stares at the floor, his hands clenching into fists – one against the pole, and the other into his shirt.  “I wanted to make it out with everyone. I wanted to make sure everyone got out safely…” His eyes began to water.  “That meant you, too…” Even if he didn’t deserve it, even if none of them did… was it still too bad to want it to come true?  All he knew is that no matter what… he said he’d follow through… until the end.  A few moments later, all that was left of the boy was the residual flutter of bright yellow jacket and the stars underneath, guiding his way home.

[Tobio D6] He doesn't need to pray today. Not when he's in front of the Memorial, walking his way back to Towa Records with Takuto by his side. After all, his prayer is here, beside him, all the way until the end.

[ Tobio D6 ] He's back. He's back and god, he wants 15 more slices of cake. (Five of each Funfetti, Strawberry and Chocolate, no interaction b/c I am dying right now.)

It’s okay. No interaction is needed. Kazuki respects you more than any other human being.

[Tobio D5] The way he feels as he passes by the memorial is different. It isn't like yesterday. There's something in the pit of his stomach, and it churns. He stares at the pole, and is conflicted. Even if he's worth nothing -- even if everyone is worth nothing -- does he still have the right to want? To laugh? He screws his eyes shut and takes a deep breath, unsure as his thoughts float toward the gods...

[Tobio D5] As Tobio stares Tatsuya in the eye when leaving out the door, Takuto's hand still in his, he doesn't forget his change. But he does certainly forget half of his life force.

He has seen nothing.

All he saw were two wonderful Players leaving his shop while it was run by the Popguins.

Nothing wrong at all~

[ Tobio D5 @ Kazuki | White Cake Slice x 4 | -2000 ] As he is putting down the money for the order, he stops, and adds more. "You know what? Just give me four more slices of the white one. At this point, who even cares."

Kazuki grins. “Now THAT’S the spirit.” He says, and hands over the additional slices. “Enjoy your cake! You’ve done what we’ve all dreamed to do!”

[Tobio D5 | Insta-noodles x 5 | -750 ] Looks at the nearby popguin as he is leaving the store with Takuto. His eyes says it all. You know what he wants. Because he certainly doesn't have the words for it right now.

Don’t worry, Magellan’s got you. See? He’s even not fighting with the others as he hands over your order. Doesn’t that show just how mature and amazing he is? How he truly is the most qualified and experienced Popguin agent of them all? How he’s so much higher above the rest that he should be the leader and not that silly Tawaki? How he should maybe even be above that silly seal they call a master-

And that’s when Tatsuya walks back in. “Ah... Have a good night you two... Don’t forget your change Tobio~”

Tobio Bought Insta-noodles x 5

[Tobio D5] Tobio wanders back into the store -- looking a bit irate! He goes over to the counter (anyone). "Strawberry Cake. Chocolate Cake. Five slices each of both. And... I guess I wanna try that white cake too. One slice. Anything to get this taste out of my mouth." He slams the money on the table. What's his deal...?

Ho-lee shit. This is that kid from yesterday! The cake burglar! And he’s back at it again! Round two! New and improved!

He slams his hands on the counter. “Coming right up!” He declares! And he dispenses not one - Not two - Not three - But eleven pieces of cake! “Enjoy your wholeass cake, will you? You’re living your best life out there.” He pauses. “Er - Unlife. But it’s nice to satisfy your sweet tooth anyways. That’ll be...” He pauses and actually has to take out a calculator to do the math. “5,500 Yen.”
