Finale

It's reached critical... I don't think it will last much longer...

The book has reached critical.

[Hayate turns her head, looking sickly and pale. Her breathing is ragged and shallow and her family is there, trying not to show more emotion.]

I'm sorry I don't think I can hold on everyone... It'll be all right. The device needs magic but if we make sure it won't absorb magic then...

But if we get the book as far away as possible... [She coughed, collapsing onto her back.] I suppose I should send these gifts out.

It's the 23rd. Sorry everyone.

The clock is counting down the minutes to the eve of the 24th. Further and further it's going. Hayate is pale, her breathing shallow as the book hovers there, glowing and sucking as much of her power away. It's time... for massive derailment.

I'm on my way.

[She already was. Think, think. What would Nozomi say at a time like this?]

You're going to be fine. I don't know how yet, but it'll work out somehow. I won't accept any other outcome.

[That was... perhaps a bit too Nozomi-like, actually.]

[And witness the rare Karen tacklehugcling.]
oceanicbutterfly: ([k] Are you sure about this?)

[All the more reason to hold on tight.]

Hayate-chan. It's always so good to see you.

Shhh. It's all right.

[It's not all right at all, but Karen doesn't want to cry. She's supposed to be the one everyone else can rely on, right?]
