Goodbyes, a lost desire, and a new journey

[powertotearer]

[Eiji's nowhere to be found on the ship, but he's left behind a video message. In it, he appears sad and regretful.]

I'm sorry, everyone. I've been working hard on trying to control this combo, but I can't put everyone in danger like that. I'm leaving to find Dr. Maki...and Ankh...on my own. Maybe I'll find out why he left.

There's a lot I need to think about. Mr. Gatsby thinks that the key to keeping control is finding my desire. So I guess I'll do that.

[He forces himself to smile.]

I'll be okay, though. See? [He holds up a pair of purple tie-dye boxers.] I've got a brand new pair of underwear, and that will get me through anything. Also, I left behind the Birth Buster and some Candroids, so hopefully they can help in my place.

[A serious look crosses his face.]

I won't become the destroyer that Dr. Maki wants me to be, though. So don't worry about me.

Goodbye.
