"You're missing him, aren't you?" said a familiar voice quietly.
"Huh? Setsuna?"
The Senshi of Time smiled from where she sat draped in the blanket that Ranma had given her. "Yes, it's me?"
"But how..?"
"I think that you know how."
"Well... I..."
"Don't worry. You're weren't yourself. None of us were."
"I'm sorry. It was just that I..."
"There's nothing to apologise for. Of course, I'm sure that you enjoyed yourself..."
Blushing slightly, Haruka looked away. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Sure you do. You jus don't want to admit it at the moment."
"I just don't get it though. How did all this happen. I mean, the day before yesterday Michiru and I... But I came back from my race and all I could think of was... doing it with him."

"I've never experienced it for myself before, but as far as I can tell, the virus somehow bonded us to him."
"So that... feeling that I sense is..."
"His mind and emotions touching yours."
"Dear God..."
