Ralf: Well, and with this, i'm leaving.

Nepgear: Eh? You're going somewhere?

Ralf: I'm still not ready to face my friends right now...If it wasn't by that girl, i probably wouldn't met Magio today.

Nepgear: But...

Nepgear: (His sword...)

Ralf: When i'm ready...i'll come back...with a big smile for everyone.

Nepgear: I understand...You have to go right? Good-bye.

   Although, he didn't return the good-bye, instead he just turned away from the three and walked away until he dissapeared between the buildings of the town.

Nepgear: (Be sure to come back...We still have a lot to go through together.)

Ralf: ...
???: Are you sure?

  He saw Akina flying upside down. She landed on the ground, facing him.

Akina: You're doing this alone...

Ralf: Because it is something i really need to do alone...

Akina: I see...

  She looks at the scar over his right eye. Even though he could open it during fights, he still couldn't see through it. Not only that, but she finally got to see how his DM Aura felt like.

Akina: You are stronger now to fight without my protection.

Ralf: Akina...

Akina: Besides...what kind of bodyguard lets that happen to the person she is protecting huh?
[img]http://i.imgur.com/Oy6ayxG.png[/img]
Ralf: But...There's no way you would know that this would ha-

Akina: But the fact that i abandoned you is right there. *points at his scar.*

Ralf: ...

Akina: I have no right to protect you anymore...Me and my team will be watching for afar...as Dimensional Travelers, we can't let this city be destroyed...so i guess you can say we'll be the final shield.

   She starts to fly away. She wouldn't get too close to him as she usually did.

Akina: See you around...
[img]http://i.imgur.com/MSRgkuV.png[/img]
Ralf: Yeah...

   She flies to what Ralf assumed to be the direction of the trio. He hugged himself while gritting his teeth.

Ralf: Akina...I'm not as strong as you think...
