Seventy-Second Launch
[Action; Goldenrod City]
[Another day, another repetition of the routine that Athrun has let himself fall into. He's been focusing on his job and his training, while waiting for the Elite Four to declare that they are accepting challengers.
However, as Athrun walks, dressed in the clothes he got for Christmas, something red catches his eye in a nearby window display. He looks over at it.
Hearts.]
Valentine's Day...
[That's right, he had forgotten. In the pursuit of more funds and more strength, he'd lost track of the date.
But unlike some people, Athrun felt a wave of melancholy wash over him as he realized that Valentine's Day was only two weeks away. It wasn't because of his lack of a girlfriend; though he wanted one, he wasn't letting that get him down. No, Valentine's Day held an important significance to not only Athrun, but everyone from his world. It was the anniversary of the third-most deadly attack against civilians in the history of his world, and one that affected him personally.
Athrun continued to walk, but he was unable to escape the Valentine's Day decorations and merchandise that was now popping up in stores all over the two regions. He just tried to focus on what he wanted to get done today and move on.]

Sorry, but out of mild curiosity...what sorts of plans do people have for Valentine's Day so far? Or, what would you like to do for the holiday?

action; 1/2
It doesn't seem real, does it? It is almost that time again ...
[ Day of Hearts without Kira. ]
action; 2/2
Athrun ... how?
[ She meant, "how did that came to his possession?" ]
action;
[It took Athrun a second to realize what Lacus meant. But he eventually noticed that her gaze was on his clothing.]
Christmas. This was the gift from home I received.
Re: action;
[ His uniform reminded her of home. But she decided not to talk about home. It would be much to sad a topic. ]
... are you alright? You seem to be distracted by the hearts.
action;
It's been six years for me.
action;
Lacus touched his arm lightly. ]
I am sorry ...
... it must be difficult knowing that you can't even visit her at her grave.

action;
And yet I received a better reception than Dearka when I finally did come back. Go figure.
action;
[ Looking at the hearts herself and suddenly remembering Meer Campbell. The woman she met and saw die on the same day. The girl who shared her face. ]
Just like how they seemed to have needed me in their plans.
action;
action;
... as we all had learned.
[ Suddenly, a small green bird flew towards them and perched on Lacus's shoulder. Familiar Athrun? ]
... it looks like my gift returned.
action;
Birdy?!
action;
Lacus was smiling --- but she was missing the owner. ]
Surprised?
action;
action;
I would have loved to see Mister Pink again. [ The mechanical Mister Pink. ] Or Mister Blue ... or Mister Green.
Still, I am happy to see Birdy again too. I think he gets along with my Jigglypuff.
action;
[He's joking. Mostly.]
action;
Athrun, I am going to need a crew for that ...
action;
action;
[ ... short pause and: ]
There are a lot of people here who care about you, Athrun. Please don't be afraid to open up.
action;
I only wish some of them could have stuck around.
action;
I wish Johto ... could at least provide a way for us to say goodbye.
