The Invading Army Part 2, 6-7

Only that...

...all this time, we were just alone.

Nozomi... Were we mistaken? Misguided by our beliefs?

I don't know.

I see.

............

Heh...

Nozomi! Are you all right?!

Hey, you're...!

Kon, this is as it should be.

What is that supposed to mean? It sounds like you're leaving us!

Before he disappeared, I made a promise to him that this time, I will be his friend.

I learned from you what it really meant to have friends. So I'm going because it's my turn to teach him.

You're not going! You're talking like you're going to disappear forever! Well, I won't let you go!

............

Uh, I guess...in the end, I couldn't protect you.

Nuh-uh. That's not true.

You did protect me. We were alone, but now we'll both be at peace.

It's because all of you, because Ichigo and you were there for me, Kon.

Yeah, I'm here for you! I'll always be here for you! So then...

All this time, I couldn't hear it, but now I can hear it. The voice of my soul deep inside me.

Can you hear it, Kon?

No, I can't hear what's deep inside of you. But I, well, if you let me put my ears at your breast, I could try to hear it.

You really are a pervert, you know that?

Well, pardon me for liking you!

Please, don't forget us.

I won't forget.

After all, we'll always be...

Real friends...

...always and forever.
