[Five years, six months and eighteen days. A long time, and yet to actually believe it was over was difficult. Rise was trying hard not to think too much on it. She was ashamed to admit that she had been dreading this day for a long time, despite how she continued to work towards it--she had simply met too many people she had grown close to for it to be considered a happy occasion for her.

Life was life, it continued, and now it was time for all of them to return home. She should at least try to content herself with the fact that she had met them all--that she had met Matt.

Even if she would never see him again.

Rise closed her eyes as the countdown began, unsure of what to expect. When it reached one she felt a strange, uncomfortable sensation in her stomach that went as soon as it had come. Her eyes shot open and she nearly tumbled to the ground but caught herself before she did. She was now in what looked like a very cozy room. Definitely not the Kishin Chamber, but definitely no place she knew.

Stranger yet was Matt was by her side. She blinked a bit--what was going on?]

Matty?

[Smiles at Rise and Yosuke, before looking to Matt and tipping his chin up a bit. He's obviously straightened a bit in the process, too, because he does know what he is. And though it's pretty much insane, he does have some pride in it.

He nods.]

Considering that I can feel and hear all of you clearly, and not just a specific area, like Ontario for Rise or Kantō for Yosuke...

[Yosuke rolls his eyes a bit, because you're a dork Souji. But he's smiling still, because he's happy to see his friends, and even more than that--he's happy that Rise and Matt are happy. After over five years together, he'd worried what would happen to them; he was glad they got to stay together.]

He's a little too proud, if you ask me. [he stage whispers to Matt, elbowing Souji in the ribs.]

[she giggles at that, but takes in what Souji says. Everything--and really, she isn't surprised. Was he perhaps the World now? It was a slightly overwhelming thought--perhaps something else akin to that?]

[Matt laughs a bit at Yosuke but returns a rather zen look to Souji, nodding.]

It's ...a great deal of responsibility but I guess if someone had to do the job, it would have to be you. It seemed like back in Death City you were already well at work.

[A another smaller laugh and then he says with some humor] Welcome to the chaos, United Nations.

[Elbows back at Yosuke, though it's halfhearted and light. The look Souji sends his way isn't much different, but there's that silent promise that he will tease him in front of their friends. Even if it's simply jest.] Quiet, you.

[Back to Matt, and he laughs a little before smiling quietly and bowing his head forward. S-sigh what has he gotten himself into.]

I guess I was preparing myself for said chaos. But I won't let any of you down, Canada.

[Yosuke grinned, but ducked his head, scuffing a shoe on the pavement. Matt was right: if anyone could handle that sort of responsibility, it was Souji, and Yosuke couldn't help but be a little proud of Souji himself.]
