Kasumi did not respond to what Reika said, nor did she seem to react to Suichiro's reply afterwards. She merely drank her tea and upon finishing it, stood up and marked to the waiter to bring the check "I hope you understand that I cannot remain here any longer, Reika. I still have a crew to manage and things to take care of, so this is where I will departing from you two. I will ask the waiter to give you a couple more moments here so you could finish up, and then spend the day together. If you happen to have any questions, you can tell them to Suichiro and he will relay my answers to you. Good day." She said before going to the waiter who was forced to stop mid way. She quickly paid him and whispered something to him before leaving. 

After a bit longer, Kasumi had vanished into an alley and if anyone tried to look for her, she would be gone out of sight. She had went and sat down in her chain on board the Franixus, and kept a close eye on the monitors showing Reika and Suichiro's status. She knew that if he needed, then he knows they are there for him, but she hoped he could show Reaper the most important lesson of all.

That being with someone is better than being alone.

Chou was slightly surprised at Kenji's statement. The next one in the series will be made in her honor? That was quite the honor. And Kyoko got to keep the one she tested, which was a very generous gift. Before she could try saying anything, Kenji left and vanished from their sight. Unsure of what to do now, she turned to look at the AST commander, who kept looking at the door from which Kenji left.

"Alright girls, you are all dismissed for the day. Be sure to keep regular training schedules and the next group meeting will be in four days. You can go." She said in her usual tone before walking out of the room as well, leaving all of the girls there. Slowly girls begun to walk out, but a few went and surrounded Kyoko and Chou. Most merely looked at the two with admiration, but one, who appeared to be focusing more on Kyoko, approached the two a bit closer.

"I just have to ask, Kyoko, how did it feel to use the new CR-Unit? It must've been such an honor to be chosen to test it out."
