"... Very well then. I will tell you everything I know, but know that even I do not know everything. When would you like to hear about it?"

"When you get back from Hakugyokurou is fine." Youmu nodded.
"Oi! Yuyuko! Let's go jet skiing!" Yuuka shouted as the rest exited the hotel.
"Okay, what are we going to do about the ceiling?" Murasa asked as she entered the car: she has just finished a radio talk show, and was now heading to a photo shoot for her new album."
"I'll have the company pay for a new one." Steven answered. "Until then, we'll have to use this like a convertible."
"Ooh, how undignified it is." Murasa mocked Steven, who said nothing but just drove.

John fought against it as hard as he could, trying as hard as he could not to break.
(It was not my fault! She died, so that I could live!)
("Don't make a girl a promise ... if you know you can't keep it."), Cortana's voice echoed in his head.
("Could you sacrifice me to complete your mission? Could you watch me die?")
("You have been called upon to serve.")
("You will be the protectors of Earth and all her colonies.")
("There will be a great deal of hardship on the road ahead.")
("You will become the best we can make you.")
("It asked, and I answered. For a moment of safety, I loosed damnation on the stars.")
("A collection of lies; that's all I am! Stolen thoughts and memories!")
("It was the coin's fault! I wanted to make you strong, keep you safe. I'm sorry, I can't...")
("I'm just my Mother's shadow... don't look at me, don't listen! I'm not who I used to be...")
("I have walked the edge of the abyss. I have seen your future. And I have learned!")
("This is UNSC A.I. Serial Number CTN0452-9. I am a monument to all your sins.")
("This place will become your home.")
("This place will become your tomb.")
John fell to his knees and held himself up with his arms.
It felt as if his mind was literally being ripped and frayed.
(I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I broke my promise and I'm sorry that I couldn't save you...)
(Have I failed? Am I insane? I'm sorry Cortana, I'm so sorry.)
(I am Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan John-117. I no longer have the UNSC, therefore, I no longer have a purpose. I no longer have a purpose, therefore, I have no reason to live.)
Just when all seemed lost, John grabbed at his one, final reason for living.
(I met some amazing people on my journey. I... I don't want to lose them. I don't want them to die.... I- I can't lose them. I can't give in now! If I die now, then who will protect them? Who will be watching their backs? You need to survive, you need to press on! You have sworn to protect them, NEVER let go of that!)
John slowly stood back up, still hurting from the physical pain, but renewing his resolve.

"He broke." Rumia announced as the dark cloud evaporated, bellowing wind that blew Rumia's dark gown around.
"What's the time?" Yukari asked.
"3 minutes and 12 seconds." Rumia reported. Yukari made a "Not bad" face. "I'm honestly surprised in this guy's resolve."
"Who got the highest time again?" Yukari asked in curiosity.
"Reisen..." Rumia muttered, as if she was ashamed. "She lasted 15 hours befor I gave up."

After a short pause John finally spoke.
"What's the next step?", John asked.
Despite the fact that John was still in pain, he still kept pressing on, not quitting for even an instant.

"Have you ever heard of something called Play-doh?" Rumia asked John.
"No.", John said, confused as to what Rumia was talking about.

"Coming! And must I say, you look stunning, Yuuka!"
I ran over to get changed. I stopped midway.
"Thank you, Youmu."
I turned around with a smile.
"But don't get used to ordering me around. I am the superiority, after all!"
I continued down the hall to get changed. I met Komachi there as well.
"Ah, Komachi! Are you getting prepared to jet-ski?"
"Well, you can say that..."
"Oh, that's right, you have yet to learn to-"
"Yeeeeaap, that's right!"
"Well who's going to help you?"
"Dante. He's a pretty good guy. Fun to mess with."
"Is that so? Well, I'm glad you found someone who-"
"WHO SAID I LIKED THE GUY!? I only met him yesterday."
"Well, I guess that is true."
I finished changing out.
"But ya know, Komachi... I never said you liked him!"

As the jackal calmed down, the duo went back to the group "So you prepared his mind, I wonder what is the next step of preparation" the fox said looking at the scene
