This  silence. It was like...time had stopped. Satomi Rentarou certainly wished
that  time had stopped. He wished, that it would reverse! He didn't want the 
inevitable to happen. He wanted to change it! Now he was sitting here, crying. 
But even his falling hears didn't crush the silence. He couldn't even whisper a 
single word. No sound came out of his mouth.
 
"Well  we knew it would happen someday, right? But I didn't think it would be so
 soon..."
 
The voice  of Enju Aihara cut the silence that was around them. Satomi Rentarou
was  sitting in front of his Initiator who was lying down on the field, with the
 dead bodies of a horde of Gastrea around them. Her erosion rate had just passed
 the 50% mark.
 
"No!  Enju! We...there has to be something that we can do..."
 
"There  isn't...don't...make it hard for me, Rentarou..."
 
Her small  hand raised up, she layed it onto his cheek. The hand was engulfed in
darkred  blood.
 
"It IS  hard for you Enju! I can see that!"
 
His tears  came down again.
 
"Rentarou...do  you...want to be...my husband?"
 
"Yes!  Yes I'll do anything for you! But don't leave me...please!"
 
His voice  was filled with despair.
 
"That...I  thank you for that...but you don't want to make your future wife
sad...right?  So please...stop crying."
 
Rentarou  struggled. He didn't know it was so hard. He had seen it once
but...this girl back  then hadn't been her Initiator.
 
"Rentarou...you  know you have to do it..."
 
He nodded,  wiping away his tears. He pointed the gun at her head and struggled.
 
"Do it...you...don't  want me to change into one of them. I'm happy,
Rentarou...about the time we had...it..."
 
She started  smiling.
 
"I'll  be the first one to go, then...See you...on the other side..."
 
"Yes...Enju..."
 
"It  has been one hell of a ride, hasn't it?"
 
Rentarou  looked into her smiling face. And...with tears in his eyes, he smiled,
too.
 
"Yes...Enju" and...he pulled the trigger.
