[PHOENIX]

[when you open your eyes, you find yourself in a pleasant greenhouse. the sweet scent of flowers surrounds you, and the sun shining through the glass ceiling invigorates you from within. there are stone benches on which you can sit, and if you're hungry, there's a garden table with some refreshing tea and scones available to you]

[the voice– the good voice– echoes in your head again]

YOUR DESIRES. . . CREATED THIS REALM. IT IS YOURS. . . IT IS NOT TYPHON'S! I CAN USE THOSE DESIRES TO GIVE YOU A SAFE PLACE. . . FROM WHICH TO FIGHT.

BUT I CANNOT DEFEAT HIM. . . ONLY YOU CAN. ONLY YOU– WITH YOUR OWN DESIRES!! YOU CAN. . . RESHAPE THIS WORLD. . . HOWEVER YOU'D LIKE!

Mm. [Yes, that is something the two of them will have to figure out on their own. Still, he has faith that they will find a solution that will present the most amount of happiness for both.] Well, Mr Naruhodo can make very compelling arguments, and I am certain he does not think of her as getting in the way. It will be interesting to see which option they decide upon.

[As for the two of them, ah. Something pangs in his heart, bittersweet.]

Oh, Juzo. It is you who will not be rid of me. I am the Great Herlock Sholmes, after all, and I do not let go of those I love so easily. Even if the great divide between universes keep us apart, I assure you it will never be for long. It cannot be, or my heart will break in two.

[ Bittersweet seems to be the feeling of the moment, because Juzo feels it too. Twisting in his chest.

He ducks his head, bumping his barrel lightly against Sholmes' temple. ]

Give me some credit. This is the first thing I've ever wanted for myself. I'll be damned if I let it go.

But no matter what happens, you're always gonna be the one who made me laugh. You have a place in my rusted old heart forever for that alone.

[Those words are warming and tinged with melancholy all the same, as though they only draw closer the reality that they may be parted soon. This is one of the rare moments in which his own words fully escape him, like Juzo's wrenched them free from his throat, and-

Well. Screw just hand-holding. Sholmes frees his hand just so he can wrap his long arms around Juzo, practically burying his face against his chest.

When he does finally speak, it's muffled, and while certainly not drained fully of his usual energy, Sholmes sounds a little more somber.]

This detective always speaks so assuredly, and have no doubt that I meant everything I said... but when it comes time to say goodbye, it will be one of my greatest challenges yet.
