The Path to Truth

At their apartment, when they both walk inside, Hino sighs and yawns, stretching his arms after moving all of Shizuru's stuff. For him, it was his time to celebrate because Shizuru was now leaving and he could once again own the house without her presence since their mission was done. Hino couldn't wait to get rid of Shizuru, now that their business was finished and he didn't need her anymore.

Shizuru and Hino had already completed their mission to solve Shizuru's office break-in and restore their spark. Shizuru asked, "Can I still stay here even though it's done?"

Hino was taken aback by her request. He wondered if she was still trying to bring back their spark. Hino replied. "Listen, I can't seem to light the spark again even if I try,"

Shizuru explained. "I didn't ask you to try. I'm just asking if I can stay for a bit longer,"

Hinowas surprised to hear Shizuru's request because he had forgotten that she had mentioned staying longer before.

As Hino and Shizuru head over to dinner, Hino sets the Nikujaga he prepared on the table. The scent of the Nikujaga fills the room and Shizuru can't help but salivate. She hadn't had Nikujaga in a while and she was looking forward to trying Hino's cooking. The two of them take a seat at the dinner table and start to eat as Hino looks at Shizuru and asks her about her thoughts on the Nikujaga and how it tastes.

Hino asks Shizuru, "Since you resigned, where are you going now?" Shizuru is unsure at this moment and she replies to Hino, " I might be working at a radio station, I do have some background on it". As a result, she still hasn't decided on her next job. But it looks like she is leaning towards working at a radio station due to her past experience.

This scene also suggests that Shizuru is still unsure about her future and that she might be exploring different possibilities before making an official decision.

As the two finished eating and Shizuru changed to casual clothes, Hino decides to head to bed and snuggle with Shizuru as they cuddle together. Shizuru rests her head on Hino's chest and holds his hands as they drift off to sleep together.

The warmth of their embrace and the bond they share is comforting as they prepare for a good night's rest.

As the sun rises and the day begins, Shizuru and Hino wake up together, still curled up in bed and holding onto each other.

The warmth of their connection and how the two of them fit together is comforting, even as they wake up to the new day together.

They share a moment together, enjoying the comfort of each other's presence in bed, before finally untangling themselves and opening their eyes to the new morning.

Hino gently spoke to Shizuru as they embraced each other in bed, "I love your soul, Shizuru."

The two were close, both physically and emotionally, and Hino's voice was filled with admiration and love for Shizuru, who was also feeling the same way.

They knew that their connection was deeper than just skin deep, but rather it touched their very souls, and that they were truly meant for one another.

As Hino spoke to Shizuru and told her he loved her soul, Shizuru replied with a witty and playful response.

She said, "It's not soul, it's fighting spirit."

It shows that even though Shizuru appreciated Hino's words, she was also not one to shy away from a bit of banter.

She wanted to show him that she appreciated his romantic gesture, but that she could still have a playful side to her. It was a sweet and memorable moment between the two, as they both showed their love in different but equally meaningful ways.

As the morning progressed, Shizuru and Hino began discussing their future plans over breakfast. Shizuru expressed her desire to return to the radio industry and Hino was supportive of her decision. The two had a lively discussion and shared their thoughts on what they wanted out of their lives. It was a cozy and intimate moment between them, as they both felt that their connection run deeper than what they had initially thought.

They knew they were meant for each other and they wanted to make the most out of their lives together.

Shizuru looks at Hino with surprised and says, "I just realized that our whole relationship is in danger and our wedding ring is the reason. You said you will tell me the meaning of the ring if I came back, right?"

Hino smiles and replies, "I said that to manipulate you, it was just a tease! I had no idea ether why did they want it at all."

As Shizuru and Hino discuss their wedding ring, they slowly realize that something is off and that their relationship is in danger.

Could it be that this wedding ring has more meaning and importance than they initially thought?

Shizuru nods in agreement as Hino says in a fierce and stern tone "We need to find the whole meaning behind the wedding ring."

Hino is now motivated to find the meaning behind the wedding ring and to protect their relationship, realizing that this situation could be more serious than he initially thought.

Shizuru is confused by Hino's response and asks him "What do we do?"

Hino quickly replies: "That's it! I knew the reason why I wanted to get rid of you but we still have to be together! It's because of that damn wedding ring being taken by Society!"

It seems that Hino is now aware of a greater purpose behind their relationship and the significance of the wedding ring. He knew that he had to find the whole meaning behind the wedding ring or else their relationship would be in danger.

Shizuru nods with determination as Hino says to her, "We need to protect our wedding ring at all costs!"

Hino and Shizuru know that they must protect their wedding ring at all costs, as it holds a greater significance than they initially realized. They are determined to do whatever it takes to protect their love and save their relationship.
