Minosashi : We are planing to leave.

  "What? Now!?" Fojima shockingly asked.

  "Yes. It is necessary for us. I will go back to Japan, visiting my master. Sewn mouth will also return to his village. We both need to do a lot before the war begins." Minosashi's face was calm, but his voice trembled slightly.

  Sewn mouth nodded from behind, packing the foods and wrapping them in cloth.

  Sewn mouth : fear not Fojima. We will return.

  Fojima : Well, I wish you both the best. You came to the library by your choice and you are also leaving it on your own.

  He tried to hid his sorrow but his ears kept moving back and forth as a sign of his emotions, betraying his very act of calmness.

  His eyes snapped at Fojima's ears, a simple smile was all he showed him.

  Minosashi : thank you, always appreciate your politeness Foji. Take care of...

  His words were cut short at the distant scream of his name.

  "Minoashi!!" Sarah shouted his name, her tears falling from her cheeks, wind, whipping her face as she ran toward him.

  Minosashi maintained his smile, though a single tear fell from his eye.

  "Sarah..." he whispered.

  Sarah wiped away her tears, a fresh wave of it washing over her.

  "Why are you... leaving suddenly!? This... This is not fair!"

  Minosashi : it is a Forced act Sarah... I can't face Liniah like this... I'm sorry for...

  "If you don’t come back! I’ll never forgive you!" She shouted, her voice echoing in the hills of Jivana. Even the wind seemed to know it had to slow down.

  "I will". It's all he manages to say. The wind, moving his tied-up samurai hair in the air.

  Sarah looked at his hair, a broken smile, finally showing up on her face.

  Sarah : you did it wrong again...

  Fojima stepped forward, his hand clutching Sarah's shoulder. Sarah put her hand on his, her fingers lacing with him.

  "May your journey be safe." he remained steady; a small pillar in Sarah's storm of emotions.

  Sewn mouth looked at Sarah, his gaze holding years of memory.

  "I'm sorry little sarah... This won't take long. We will soon return, I..."

  Before sewn mouth could finish his words, Sarah put Fojima's hand aside, running toward sewn mouth, her arms wrapping around him in a desperate hug.

  "Thanks... For all those trainings you've done with me... For... For..." she couldn't finish her words, her tears began to fall again.

  Sewn mouth felt a sudden tremor running through his body, he hugged Sarah back while trying his best to hide his emotions. His lips slowly cracked open, bleeding as the hug took place in him.

  Sarah felt the warm blood, moving few steps back, she lowered her head in shame.

  Sarah : I'm... I'm sorry.

  "don't be... It was the curse. Not you." he said.

  Sarah moved toward Fojima, hiding herself in his arms. The only solid and strong anchor at that moment.

  Minosashi and sewn mouth entered the portal, before fully stepping inside the portal, Minosashi and sewn mouth waved their hands for them, a final gesture of goodbye.

  The rain slowly started in the hills, the very first drop, falling in her hands. Her sobs quietly taking place in her body while being wrapped in Fojima's arm.

  While they both walked toward library, Minosashi and sewn mouth's destination, Japan, was awaiting them...
