"Promise me this won't be the last time," she whispered, and he felt her hold faintly tightening.
It made him think about it.
Could there be anything that would ever stop him from coming to X Guard Academy after this?
There was nothing he could think of, so he decided:
"I promise," he said, holding her hands, and she smiled.
They remained quietly for about thirty seconds, though to Rosa, those had to be the shortest thirty seconds of her life.
They parted, and when he turned to her, her face had regained that pink blush.
"You sure are acting a little too happy today," he teased, watching her quickly wear her helmet with unnatural speed.
"Shut up!" she said from within, and he rolled his eyes.
At that moment, a golden illumination half-illuminated them, and they both turned, finding the sunlight breaking through the clouds.
It was the first ray of dawn, and how beautiful it was.
"I guess you'll be leaving soon," Rosa said from the side, and he turned to her.
