[The ending to a very long day has come, and it couldn't have ended... softer, which isn't the first word Pyrrha would use, as everything about what had happened stung hard. Of all the things Choromatsu could have done, he did what he did out of worry for his friends and family, and instantly regretted it when his plans actually came to fruition.

[True to her word, Pyrrha's in the VIP lounge. Things have been set up so there's a good amount of food on the tables and bar.

Let's party like we're running out of time.]
