[ She's a soldier, she's probably more shit than he has, but in the end... she's just a kid. ]

You won't have to. Look, just—stay inside. You always gotta have someone with you, someone who can protect you. And... [ Man, this isn't really his job. He's a little lost and he doesn't know what to do, but he knows someone has to do it. ] Don't worry. I'll find out who did this.

Protect...?

[ Mumbling the word a few more times, Stella can feel herself relaxing. ] Shinn can protect. He promised me and back home he made sure I was safe... that I was protected when caught...

Yata, will you be okay though? Shouldn't you be careful... maybe Shinn can protect you too.

[ Shinn hates him, though. Not that he can tell her... ]

Hey, hey, you're talking to the Yatagarasu, aight? I can look out for myself.

[ He doesn't want Shinn to get hurt, either. It'll be bad for Stella. ]

Worried... I'm still worried about you though.

[ She's holding herself back from crying. ] I don't want anything bad to happen to Yata, nothing at all.

[ Why is dealing with this so difficult each time... ]

Look, I ain't gonna promise ya I'll be fine. That's stupid. Shit happens and you just gotta take it. But I can tell you I'll still be alive when this is all over.

There anything you wanna do after this? You know, like go to the zoo... or eat some crepes, or... somethin'...

I'll be happy as long as you're alive... I don't want you to...

[ she pauses, her chest growing tight and heart racing just at the thought of saying that word. it wasn't just her she was worried about now when it came to dying.

it was everyone she cared about. stella hopes he can understand what she's hinting at. ]

Crepes...? Are those nice?

[ He doesn't want to die, either. Hell, he doesn't want anyone else to die if he can help it. Besides, he promised he'd protect Stella. ]

Yeah! It's pretty sweet, like you put ice cream and fruits and other sh—stuff in it... I'll get you some after this is over. Promise.

[ Now that's two promises to keep track of. ]

[ Hearing this really does help lift her spirits and get her to remain calm.

Let's hope he can handle these promises. ]

Okay. I'll like that, really like it. I hope this is over soon.

Me too.

[ He'll stay true to his word. At the rate, HOMRA was leaving Holly Heights, he hopes he doesn't disappear too soon. ]

Hey, I'll talk to you later. Don't tell Shinn I called.

[ Because he's banned from Stella, apparently. ]

M'hm!

Ah... [ that baffled her a little. ] Why not? Do you not like Shinn?

What? Nah, Shinn's okay.

[ But Shinn has a problem with him. ]

We just don't get along.

Oh... [ there's disappointment in her voice because, well, they are both important to her.

she sighs. ]

Uh. Did—did he say anything about me?

[ Because he's kind of hoping Stella doesn't think he's weird because of something Shinn said! ]

No, he only asked if you were a 'gangsta' and that was it.

[ Although, Stella was the one to comment on how Yata was weird. ]

[ He does act pretty weird, huh. It's okay, Stella. We know. ]

Oh... [ He is one, though. ] What'd you say?

[ Misaki "Weird" Yata. It suits him. ]

I told him I didn't know... you never told me, I think.

Oh. I didn't? Huh. Well, I ain't. [ His opinion. ] So if he asks again, you tell 'im that.

I gotta go. You stay safe.

Okay, I'll be sure to do that.

... You too.
