He promised... he almost promised that he would dissipate after Sawa became alive, just to see her... one more time. And Sawa is alive now. Time passed—years, exactly thirty years from the start of that path. Sawa is alive now. The day they would meet is here, now.
And they met. Xiao saw her face, her body, her. He didn't believe he had made it... And finally, Sawa saw his beautiful face after all those years. Sawa ran and hugged him tightly, but he didn't even have the strength to hug her back. It was as if he wasn't even in this world... But he was. He didn't dissipate, right? So he's there, with us.
Then he spoke:
"So, now I can dissipate with a light heart, knowing my best friend is here, alive... Yeah?"
Sawa: "No, you can't! Also, you didn't say anything to Shinko!"
And then he saw Shinko, who was right behind her, looking at the scene quietly, without any expression on his face—but he was truly happy that his most important creature was happy now.
But then, although Shinko was initially a faker, Xiao appreciated his help, as a person and a close friend. As something more? Hmm... maybe? We will see, but now is too soon.
Then he thanked Shinko, to which Shinko just smiled. Xiao tried to imitate a smile, but it was hard due to lack of experience, so Shinko helped him with his fingers. Look at that, guys—well, that was friendly. Shinko would never flirt just to get attention or become closer, meh. At least Xiao smiled cutely.
Then, everything turned normal. Oh, yeah—Xiao didn't dissipate anymore. Life—or well, existence—was too good for him to dissipate, but he still thought about it always.
After some long, medium, or short days, he met with Shinko. They talked, and then the conversation turned to that freaking confession... Xiao tried to avoid it, but unsuccessfully. Then Shinko spoke:
"Too embarrassed to talk about the confession? Ugh, child."
Xiao: "I'm not a child! I just haven't had any experience—"
Shinko: "By the way, me neither! But at least I can smile!"
Xiao was about to say something when Shinko hugged him, blocking his face so he couldn't talk, and then said:
"We're arguing. Better not to say anything."
Xiao, speaking with difficulty: "Sure..."
Then they both just calmed down and continued.
Shinko: "So? Will you be mine?"
Xiao: "You said it like I'm a toy."
Shinko: "Uhh... So how should I say it?"
Xiao: "Are you asking me? Really?"
Shinko: "Oh, right... So... Will you be my... uhh... bf?"
Xiao: "What's bf?"
Shinko: "Boyfriend."
Xiao: "Oh, yeah, okay."
Shinko: "Okay for boyfriend, or the meaning?"
Xiao: "Both."
Shinko: "Um, okay."
This was the most random confession and acceptance. Another day, they met again. Like always, they talked.
Xiao: "So... now I can dissipate. I have all that I wanted..."
Shinko: "Really? And you'll leave me alone? Right after some days of a relationship? Rude."
Xiao: "Ooh, really. So I can't..."
Shinko: "Right, you can't."
So, Xiao forgot about dissipating and never did it.
