Chapter Text
They stood together by the window, Gudako’s hand timidly grasping the edge of Mash’s. They spoke not a word, only staring at the still dark sky. It was early, but they were dressed. Both Master and Servant had woken up with a feeling. They had met each other halfway between their two rooms, and with a hug being their only communication decided to come here.
Da Vinci stood next to them, hands clasped in front of her; she had no one’s hand to hold. She had on a slight smile. If she had known she was making the expression she was famous for she would have laughed. But now she tried her best not to cry.
Fou sat on Mash’s shoulder, as usual. Though even he seemed to be looking out the window.
At last behind the snow they could see a peak of light. As the glow reached her eyes Gudako let her tears fall. She went to wipe them with her free hand but decided not to. She wanted to feel the drips down her face.
The sun grew higher and the light grew warmer. The silence was still unbroken. This was a new day. A new beautiful day on planet Earth with all its creatures and people. A day which, one year ago, was cold and empty.
On this day, one year ago, they saved the future.
On this day, one year ago, they lost someone more important.
