Yuzuru checked his phone yet again, a familiar gesture by this point.
Madara put his hand on Yuzuru's shoulder before smiling brightly up at the monitor.
"Boy, what a nice ending for you two! All wrapped up with a little bow! Just let us out and get back to your lives!
What about our memories of dying here, huh? What about our missing years?"
"Yep, that face! You're disgusted with me, huh? Because of the emptiness inside me, you hate me, right?
That's why, Yuzuru! I didn't wanna shatter your image of me!"
"Nothing to say, Yuzuru? It's not like I didn't wanna wake you up, but that ship sailed a long time ago, you know?
Anyway, it's not like you were ever really in any trouble. I read through the logs of other games- any time the game put you in danger, I stepped in."
(Who's desperate enough to throw away their humanity for a chance at Eichi-san living again?
...That's not all. Yuzuru-san is protecting someone. And there's only one person a butler will do anything to protect.)
(What are my clues? First, the garden- the theme of 'love beyond death'.
Next, Yuzuru-san mentioned the AI and SHIFTing projects were all to bring someone back.
Judging by Saiai-san's appearance and what Wataru-san said, that dead person is Eichi-san.)
Yuzuru's eyes stayed locked on Madara's.
"I wonder...was that the right choice for you to make?"
"...Ahaha.
Figuring you out, Yuzuru-san...
It's something that might take my whole life."
Yuzuru smiled coolly.
"Whether I have or not, 'Partner'...
everything will come to an end soon."
As Yuzuru hesitantly extended his hand, Madara suddenly pulled him in, making Yuzuru stumble.
Madara caught him, their faces inches from each other, and spoke in a tone low enough that no one else would hear.
"You've figured it out, right?"
"Then, Arashi-san, Yuzuru-san, over here~"
Madara held out his hands.
