[Well Al Azif just turned into hundreds of pages in front of Kurou. Thankfully the pages eventually reformed into the shape of a regular book but...that was it. It was just a regular book.. No matter how what he did it remained that way. Not responding, not snapping back at him, not telling him he was an idiot. Nothing.

The former Master of Necronomicon slammed his fist into the floor before picking up the pistols that were left behind and limping towards the elevator.]

I'll fucking destroy them all.

[Someone might want to talk some sense into him]

[Sometime later Kurou could be found in the Hadou Library holding what remained of Al. It seems like he was trying to look for something, some way of restoring her. Anything.]

[That earns you a good slap, Kurou. Nanoha is having none of that 'I'm worthless' crap.]

...I'm not saying that you shouldn't fight, Kurou-san.

She was your trusted partner, wasn't she...? If she believed in you enough to do that, then surely, there's something you can still do.

But it's not that time yet. First, your injuries need to be treated. You should take that time to cool off a little too.

[Well, that stops him in his tracks.]

...you're right.

[Thank god Nanoha, you've slapped some sense into him. Literally. Conveniently a Hadou Medic comes up to direct him to an infirmary. He gives Nanoha a small nod of thanks before following the medic down a hallway.]

[And she'll watch quietly as you depart, Kurou, but not before returning that nod.

Now she knows one thing for sure: if that's the case, this isn't over yet- not by a long shot.]
