"Usagi!"

She turned, startled by the familiar voice. Astonished blue eyes met intense indigo ones. Was it possible?

"Seiya?"

Seiya hesitated, searching for words. "I need closure" sounded foolish, sentimental. But she had to let her know.

She grabbed Usagi by the shoulders. "Listen, I can't stay long, but there's something I need to tell you. I love you."

Surprise, then an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry—"

"No. I know. I just needed to tell you."

"Fighter!" an angry Healer shouted through the communicator. "Where are you? Kakyuu's worried sick."

Seiya smiled. "Sorry. Tell her I'm on my way home."
