"I think that would be logical. Make it grow as we continue research... neh." The girl chuckled. "I will keep my studies in psychology. Perhaps go deeper into it. I think it would be quite the journey for both of us."

Tsugiharu nodded.

"It shall indeed, Atena-san. It shall indeed." he agreed. He couldn't quite find the words to say it...but Tsugiharu was actually quite happy that things had actually worked out as they had.

"Is there anything I should know before I go to The Hive?"

"Lots of things, I'm sure Atena-san. I'll be sure to tell you all about it on the trip over." he said, looking forward to the trip.

The girl nodded and looked around. The place may be a mess but it was a place with many memories. "I wonder... did you find what you were looking for at this place?" She remembered calling him blind several times. Perhaps it was her whimsical way asking for his attention and showing him she cared.

Tsugiharu nodded.

"I believe so. A gifted, beautiful, charming woman who despite having more setbacks than most people do, keeps moving forward towards her goals."

He grinned a bit.

"Although, as a scientist, I don't like to make snap judgements. Ask me again in ten years, and I'll have more data." he teased.

Looking over to her he asked, "And what about you Atena-san? Did you find the answers you were looking for?"

She looked up. "I don't know... I clearly found something." She teased. "I found friendships. I found understanding by an unlikely man. I found a path to walk when I felt lost." She smiled.
