Ah, Yuri.

What's all this commotion?!

Ah, top of the morning to you, gentlemen!

Yuri Lowell!

You are no doubt behind all of this!
Yet again, I saaay!

Hmmm...maybe I am, indeed.

What? Yuri, you mean...

Urgggh!
How insolent!

You're under arrest!

Hey, Karol, old man.
Let's get outta here.
You too, Patty.

Huh?

Uh?

What?

Got everything taken care of?

Yes, thanks to you.

Rita, what's in that bag?

Is it a treat for me for being
such a good girl?

No! It's nothing!

You can tell them. We're all
accomplices to core theft now.

What! What do you mean theft?

Wait, you knew...?

Ahh, I see. That's a
blastia core, then!

How the heck did I become a thief
without even realizing it?

I'm sorry, Karol...

Oh, there you are.
I couldn't find you guys.

We thought it'd be a shame to interrupt
when you just started catching up.

All right, let's get going.

Flynn, um...

Is something the matter?

Uh, no...

Let's go, then.

Yes.

Hah hah! Let's get
out of here before
Leblanc comes back!

Judith.

That is, uh, thank you.
For not destroying that blastia.

Oh. A surprising bit of humility, coming from you.

But why didn't you?
You didn't have any trouble
destroying blastia before now.

I just wanted you to like me!

N-no way!
You're joking, right?!

Yes.

You...

When I was by myself, the only way I could stop them was by
destroying them. But now I know that there are different ways
of taking care of the the blastia, when I'm with friends.

I can count on you, right?

S-sure.
