Magically cured

[Alva Ren]

Hi Susumu

I don't think I'll be needing the potion anymore

Thank you for all your help. I'm sorry for all the trouble I put you through.

Shimizu Susumu

[Shimizu Susumu]

It was no trouble. I'm the one who caused you the trouble, I'm afraid.

Has the potion cured you completely?

[Alva Ren]

...
Yes

*looks at the vivid dark mark still on his arm*

Everything's fine now. :)

[Shimizu Susumu]

*pleased that he actually found a cure*

Well now I know to keep some on hand in case anything goes awry again.

Have you been well otherwise? It's been nasty out the past few days.

[Alva Ren]

I've been *long pause* fine
I might be going away soon though

I mean
Moving away from Hazleton

[Shimizu Susumu]

Moving away? Why? I'm not sure I understand.

[Alva Ren]

I'm just
Moving

There's nothing wrong with that, is there?

[Shimizu Susumu]

No. It's just such a shame. We were only getting to know each other.

[Alva Ren]

Ah...

I'm sorry
I wish things could have turned out differently between us

But I don't
Can't stay anymore

You'll find someone soon, I'm sure. :)

[Shimizu Susumu]

Find someone for what?

[Alva Ren]

To help you remember and keep your human side alive

[Shimizu Susumu]

Do you think I'm losing it?

[Alva Ren]

No, I don't think that

But I think what you do has taken its toll on you and I
I think you deserve something better

Heroes are supposed to have happy endings, right?

[Shimizu Susumu]

What will I do without you?

[Alva Ren]

I don't think I can be that person for you

...
I don't think I can be that person for anybody anymore
