Yuki comes running towards Ryujiro.
"Are you okay, Ryuku-kun!?"
Ryujiro: "Y-.. Yeah.. I'm fine. Pick up grandpa."
Yuki makes Katsuro sit on the chair.
Ryujiro slowly stands up.
"You okay, old man?"
- "I'm good. Thank you.. Ryujiro. For liberating the whole world.
You're the saviour. And what's your name, girl?"
- "Yu.. Yuki Takahashi, sir."
- "Thank you.. both. For everything.
I thought the world was doomed.
But the demon named Yaztahruis..
is dead now."
Ryujiro supports Katsuro in walking who leads them to the time machine.
"Let's destroy this thing."
They break every possible thing in the time machine and then Ryujiro puts some dynamites on it.
"Yuki. Take grandpa far away."
Yuki takes Katsuro away and Ryujiro lights up the dynamites.
Causing the thing which cheats with a natural thing like time.. to destroy.
They slowly go down and reach the ground.
Seeing Vasilisa sitting there.
"Vasilisa!? What happened?"
She turns her face at him.. And cries out
"Ryujiro.. I don't wanna live without Dusty..
And with this broken body.
It's a mental torture.. death is a lot better than this."
Ryujiro gasps: "D-.. Dusty?"
He realises that Dusty is no more.. and spots the dead body in front.
Trying to hold back his tears, he speaks up.
"Vasilisa. I can.. never be forgiven for this."
- "It's not your fault.. It was our fate.
Please, Ryujiro.. kill me if you don't wanna see me suffer for the rest of my life."
Yuki: "Ryuku-kun.. Do as she says. I can.. understand her."
Vasilisa: "I've lived my life as much as I needed to. Please... Kill me."
Ryujiro looks down and closes his eyes. And the whole journey flashes through his mind.
