[Ah, nope, sorry - you're just getting a view of Tsubomi's room... oh, wait, there's her hand, waving.]

Ohhh, so tired... after everything that's gone on - the show, not sleeping, those monsters showing up... I think I'm ready for a vacation.

Too bad school's back on. I wouldn't mind going back to the beach...

O-Oh! Sorry, everyone...

[And Tsubomi slowly slips out of bed and trudges to her computer, typing in a few things...]

[Fail!Locked to Hayate]

Hayate, are you okay? I didn't expect everything to happen so fast. Or to have to rescue you so quickly. Though... I'm curious. I saw some other people out there besides me, you and Aqua. Were those your family?

And if we do it'll kill everyone on the world! Even Hayate-chan!

If we don't do something, she dies. And if we do, she dies. A-and you're okay with this?!

[Not locked at all]

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

OF COURSE I'M NOT!

But we can't just let the Book be completely and hope that it doesn't kill everyone this time!

Re: [Not locked at all]

[bag_has_snapped]

Then, what can we do?! Hayate looks up to me like a sister and I don't want to let her down!

If I have to let them do what they need to do, maybe... Maybe I will!

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

... I can't let you do that. If you try, I'm going to have to stop you myself.

Re: [Not locked at all]

[bag_has_snapped]

...y-you would, wouldn't you? You... You look no older than Hayate...

I don't want to fight, but... I don't want her to suffer.

[Not locked at all]

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

That's because I'm NOT older than Hayate-chan.

But I couldn't let my world be destroyed, even if it would save Hayate-chan. I'm not going to do anything to let it get close to that when it's still going to kill her anyway!

Re: [Not locked at all]

[bag_has_snapped]

But, what are you going to do to save her? We both want to! We can both see it! But, I don't have any other way! What can you do?

Re: [Not locked at all]

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

I don't know! If we knew that, I wouldn't be wasting time telling you not to be an idiot, I'd just go ahead and do it and make it so we don't need to worry!

[Well, this is an extremely uncomfortable situation. Let's make it even more so, shall we?]

...Tsubomi. Stop.

[bag_has_snapped]

Y-Yuri?! But...!

[fightbymoonlight]

I understand your feelings, but you are being foolish. Think about this rationally.

[bag_has_snapped]

I... I...

[she sniffles a bit, trying not to cry.]

I don't want Hayate to die...

[fightbymoonlight]

Of course you don't. I don't want that either. No one here does.

But what you're doing right now isn't helping.

[bag_has_snapped]

...I don't know what to do... I can save the world, but I can't save my friend...? I...

[fightbymoonlight]

As a Precure, your first and most important responsibility will always be towards the world. You became one to protect it, after all.

...

You don't have to like it and, honestly, neither do I, but the fact of the matter is that you cannot put Hayate's life before the fate of an entire world.

[bag_has_snapped]

[Tsubomi just wibbles a bit before bursting out into tears.]

...it's not fair...! She deserves better!

[fightbymoonlight]

...I know. She really does.

[What else can she even say? This whole thing just sucks.]
