Makoto and Ifurita were reunited as the sun rose over his school.

"Oh, Ifurita!" Makoto whispered, as he embraced his soul-mate. "Are you alright?"

Ifurita looked away from him with tearful eyes.

"I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed," she said.

"Was the waiting so terrible?" he asked.

"The first thousand years were the worst," Ifurita said, "and the second thousand years... They were the worst too. The third thousand years, I didn't enjoy at all. After that, I went into a bit of decline..."

She lifted her big blue anime-girl eyes up towards him. "I'm not getting you down at all, am I?" she asked pathetically.

"No, no, Ifurita," Makoto lilted, "that's just fine, really..."

"I wouldn't like to think that I was getting you down."

"No, don't worry about that," the lilt continued, "you just act as comes naturally, and everything will be just fine."

"You're sure you don't mind?" Ifurita probed.

"No, no, Ifurita," Makoto lilted, "that's just fine, really... just part of life."

She flashed him a mournful look.

"Life?..." Ifurita moaned. "Don't talk to me about life..."

Hmm, Makoto thought. Maybe it's not too late to talk to Nanami about our relationship...
