A/N: As I go to post this, Tweak says, “This is our final December.”

 

 

 

“Well, this is it.” Tenpou set his sword against the wall and took out his cigarettes.

 

“Ah, hell,” Kenren growled as he wiped blood from his eyes. “Never thought it would go down like this, Ten. I – I’m sorry.”

 

“What are you sorry about?” Tenpou asked around a mouthful of smoke. “You didn’t bring him to Heaven. I don’t think anyone expected this to happen.”

 

The small building trembled, knocking dust from its ceiling. The fine specks drifted down like sunbeams.

 

“Do you think they’ll banish us?” Kenren asked, readying his weapon.

 

Tenpou smiled. “Kenren, soulmate, I’m counting on it.”

He checks it one more time, closes his eyes, and hits the switch.

 

Success is measured in silence: nothing blew up, for which he’s highly grateful.

 

Now that his work is done, it’s time to play. He finds a random journal and clicks on the link.

 

Reads a little.

 

Hits the punchline, and thanks the Merciful Goddess he had the foresight to cover everything with plastic.
