Farewell

[over_under_being]

[1]
Everyone... I remember everything. It's over. We've won.

[Post-mission, Pilhua is destroyed. But so is the Over Being Father. And now there is a blue-ish aura around Texotic. Like a flame, tiny and barely visible at first but growing in time.]

There is something you need to know.
During their "games", Over Being met resistance. Rarely did their play go as smoothly as they hoped for. Their supposed prey fought - fought hard, tooth and nail. As we did just now.
The universe is full of humanity's brethren. Of heroes.

The threat of Over Being is over. What Teootl said is true. Just as Conetzin and Pilhua are creations of Over Being and cannot exist without them, so can Over Being not exist without Teootl.

This includes me. In a few hours, I too will be... gone...

Please do not cry for me. I...

[And she almost did it. Almost said it with composure and a calm face.

But no. Tears start to well in Texotic's eyes as she cries out.]

I will miss you all so much! I... I really wanted to stay with you for longer!

[Not immediately, but finally it happens.

Texotic lies down, and closes her eyes - peacefully. Her body is not reacting to anything, and for all counts and purposes is... dead. Good bye.

The blue flame leaves her body and takes into the sky. Halfway through its flight it joins with a yellow one that seems to appear out of nowhere. The two swirl around each other, and disappear. Together.]

It's because I am a hero I can't help but cry when there's someone I can't save. Especially when I've traveled with them like this.

[despite that he's sucking it up for her.]

It's not fair...even if it's for the best you deserve to live.

[over_under_being]

You... don't know what I have done before mine and Coztic's change of heart. What happens to me is what I deserve. Even if I don't want it - I will accept it.

[Brave words for someone who is sobbing without dignity.]

[Yusuke puts his hands on her shoulder and looks her dead in the eye]

Everyone, absolutely everyone deserves a second chance. I don't care what you did before because you show regret and you've tried to make up for it.

You deserve to stay.

But...

[he drops his hands and smiles, he can't really help tearing up now]

If you're at peace I guess I got no right to say anything, huh?

[over_under_being]

[That flame makes Texotic warm to the touch. But it does not hurt nor cause discomfort.]

I already received a second chance.

[She smiles, sadly.]

My stay on White Chalice was it. And I think... I made the best of it.

Then...

[He holds a thumbs up for her]

You did good.
If this is goodbye then you should go with no fear, and no pain.

[over_under_being]

I...

Don't feel any of these two. No fear, no pain.

I will remember you, and everyone on White Chalice. Kamen Rider Kuuga.

[2000_skills]

As a favor, remember me as Yusuke Godai too. The world sure won't once I'm gone as well.

I'll remember you too, Texotic.
I don't think anyone will ever forget you here on White Chalice.

[over_under_being]

[Nod.]

I want to ask for a favor, too.

Don't remember me as an Over Being. But as a person.

[2000_skills]

Haha!
That's what I'd been doing from the start.
