...Well, first of all, what happens now? Do I get another partner for the role, or is it just me from now on?

[cyclists]

It's just you from now on. [Which is daunting.]

[foodbin]

...Honestly, that's probably better.

[cyclists]

You think? [He sounds indifferent about it.] You might be right.

...so what are you going to do now?

[foodbin]

...I'm not sure. I need to talk to Shess and Lea about that.

[cyclists]

Good idea. [He's getting up from his place then.] They can probably help you more than I can right now.

[...] Do me a favor and take care of him, okay?

[foodbin]

[She nods.]

I'm not going to let anything happen to him. I promise. But... [She pauses.] Is something wrong?

[cyclists]

With Hisoka dead, he's partnerless, isn't he? This is the second time this has happened. I don't want to see anything happen to him just because of that.

[foodbin]

...I'm not going to let anything happen to him. We'll catch the corrupted and Shess will purify whoever it is. Then it'll just be him and Saix who don't have partners. And we'll... figure out what to do about Shirasu.

[cyclists]

If the numbers add up...you really think it's going to work out, Emma? Truthfully?

[Please...say yes...]

[foodbin]

[After a moment, she nods.]

...He's always trying to get me to do the whole glass half full kind of thing. So - yes. I do.

[cyclists]

Then...I'll have to believe it. [He shakes his head.]

Good luck tomorrow.
