Kokuyoku awoke at midnight to a strange feeling. He felt as though parts of his body he had never noticed before were coming alive.

He looked down at himself. He could not fathom where the feeling was coming from.

His hands? No. His feet? Not right either.

Kokuyoku then heard a sound outside. He rushed out to see what it was, half hoping he could protect Kiana for once, instead of her saving him all the time.

It was Towa!

"Hello Kokuyoku." She bowed to him. "All the Hikari artworks are coming to life completely because of you."

"What?" Kokuyoku said. "You mean all of them? Even the Second Hand of Time?"

"Yes." Towa said. "Freedert and Elliot can finally live their lives together as a couple. Grow old together. They—all of us—are mortal now."

"So who's that?" Kokuyoku pointed to the figure hiding behind her. "Argentine?"

"Yes it is me." Argentine said. "I came to thank you. I'm finally whole and Towa and I are going to move out into the country and build a life together."

"But I wanted to warn you." Towa said. "Everything isn't completely over. Kei will still come after you. Satoshi has been trying to protect you with Daisuke's help, but—"

She stopped, and Kokuyoku noticed how still the night was.

Towa grasped his hands. "Be safe, Kokuyoku. Thank you for saving us."
