Stuck outside of the emergency room, Praetor sits and waits for her. All the while, he is shocked at the turn of events... and how a TinMan went so far as to sacrifice for him and Aabi's sake.

Soon... he drifts into slumber...... the hours pass with him lingering in the land of dreams...

...

..... half-awake, he finds himself unable to lift his head.

Suddenly, there was a scuffle.

The door to the ER opens. He lifts his eyes slightly...

Ani had left the bed. Approached him. And on her eyes... ran her tears like a river.

"Praetor-san...... I'm going home."

Gently, the TinMan lifts the knob that covers his face - and kisses his forehead.

"I don't want you to remember.... I want you to forget. I want to forget. And........ I hope that you and Aabi -san.. will stay true to each other."

"I always thought that you were the prince that would free me from my spell...... but... I'm not meant to love at all....... so.... please be the Praetor I met. The impassable boulder. The knight in shining armor."

"I still do........care for you."

The TinMan plods away, disconnecting IVs still attached to her arms.

"You know? We do have something in common."

Ani now sees it. His eyes slowly opened.

"We never listen."

Ani bursts out of the window and is gone......................................

...leaving a drop of oil on Praetor's cheek.
