The End

After a long trial and a tearful rebirth, it was time to move on to the next journey. But where would they all go? And how would they be able to say 'goodbye' after seven weeks of bonding?

Those answers would not come easily. However, the Pieces did not need to make those decisions alone...🗈

Rest is needed, but it isn't quite time for that yet. No, there are places to go and people to see.

Given that most of the Pieces did want to return to the Foundation, the Witch of Dimensions opted to stop there first and drop them all off. The stragglers can be handled later, when he has rested and regained more of his energy.

But where did he decide to put them? After all, the Foundation knows they have gone missing. To return them right to where he took them from would only put them in danger. So instead, he opts to take them to the people best qualified to offer help with multi-dimensional dealings.

[He nods, and he really does understand.]

When your business here is done, then, I will reunite you with those other two.

...they probably need a honeymoon away anyway.

Can you tell them just to wait a little while longer for me? All three of them. Kurogane-san, Fai-san and Sakura.

I can pass on that message, yes.

But in exchange, you need to keep yourself safe here. No dying, got it?

I promise.

Thank you.

[ And then Kimihiro is immediately getting a hug, arms wrapped around him tightly. ]

[Awww, Tsubasa.

After a moment, Watanuki is going to return that hug.]

...live. Live, and grow. I want to see you as an adult again someday.

I will.

I've... learned a lot these couple of weeks. From you, and everyone else here. It was really nice being with you for so long, Kimihiro. Like this. And I want you to take care of yourself too, alright? No more Games like this one.

Oh, I'm in agreement there. Apparently Witches play games all the time to stave off boredom, but no more living pieces. We can just play actual chess or something.
