Chiyoko nodded. "He died while I was away..." she said.

"I'm sorry for your loss, Chiyoko-san." Ryu said softly...unsure of what else he could say.

"It's fine..." she said. "I guess... I should tell you everything..."

"Only if you're comfortable with doing so." Ryu specified, as his only condition.

Chiyoko nodded, explaining everything that happened to her in the past twenty-something-years.

Ryu listened intently. So she was forty something odd years....yet he couldn't have told the difference. What he saw before him...and the character he saw in her...was far more valuable than material treasure... She was herself...and he'd grown to ... appreciate her for how she was. He was silent for a moment, pondering.

"Do you... Do you want to leave?" she asked.

Ryu looked at her....and took a deep breath. "No." he paused, letting that sink in. "You inspire no desire to leave, in me. For to me...Chiyoko-san is Chiyoko-san...regardless of what has happened...regardless of other powers making your chronological age and physical body's age different. And for me, who had lost everything...to come here and be given a second chance by you without hesitation....who am I to deny you the same?"

Chiyoko looked at him again before her eyes filled with tears once more.

He walked towards her, slowly. "I have the power now...to overcome myself....to overcome my limitations...to once again bear a will that would defy even death...so that I can live." Then, he whispered the last words. "...here with you" before hugging her again, not saying anything else.

Ryu hugged her tightly, not saying a word....living in one moment....this moment.
