[This gray, snowy day finds Ryuhou sitting out on his porch step, a note held in his hands. His eyes scan over the words several times as though he can't believe them.

Finally, he stands, crumpling the paper in his fist, stalking toward the edge of town. He doesn't seem to notice the cold as the wind whips his thin uniform jacket around him.]

I want to... hit something. That's more Kazuma's style, but now I understand why. I'm going to explode if I don't.

[A grim smile forms on Ryuhou's face as the two clash, the familiar feeling of their fight centering him back into reality. Zetsuei takes a hard hit, but he lashes out again, recovering quickly and sending his Alter spiraling back toward Kazuma, fighting as hard as he can before time runs out.

Before too long, though, the power limits of Luceti take hold, and Zetsuei begins to flicker and shatter.]

Not yet, not yet!

[He tries desperately to hold it together, but the Alter dissolves in a shower of sparks. Drained, he staggers to the side, barely keeping from falling as he leans against a lucky tree that wasn't destroyed in their fight.]

[Truth be told, Kazuma's having a little trouble keeping his Alter together as well; he can feel the familiar power overload building up within him. It's just a matter of time before he blows his ass across the forest.

Fortunately, before that happens, he sees that Ryuhou's lost his Alter, and with a great sense of relief--well masked, of course--he allows his own to dissipate as well.]

Is that it, then?
