Agent 8 was so caught in the moment, her vigor renewed by the song, that she momentarily forgot how tired she was. She was focused on hearing Agent 3's melodies voice. Even the disorienting undulation from the void river became like a beacon of possibility, lighting their way to Three's safe departure.
It was only when the waters rose up to her knees that she realized how close it was. They... they were going to have to say goodbye, didn't they? This moment would soon be at an end.
And then Agent 3 had to say what she did. Of course. Of course she would have to keep going. Her mission continued, and it wasn't going to be over until Agent 3 was safetly home. But it would continue without her, alone. And yet... and yet.
Before she knew what she was doing, Agent 8 wrapped her arms around Agent 3's shoulders. Her eyes stung and her heart was racing. There was so much more that she wanted to say. But there was only one thing that came deep from within her soul. "I would love that. When next we meet, I will share with you a new song. I will tell you all about other worlds with other people and other things the likes of which you never could imagine. I will tell you about my friends. I will tell you about the villains. And... and I will try to be the hero you inspire me to be."
She pulls herself a way, a soft smile across her face. "My name is Mimi K. Octoling. And I am proud to be Agent 8 of the Squidbeak Splatoon."
