**Himeno Akatsuki** (暁 姫乃, *Akatsuki Himeno*)

## Description

A girl with the power of pyrokinesis. Contrary to her ability, she has a very cool and collected attitude, and is rarely unsettled by any kind of situation. Although she is a member of SEALED, she claims that she has no interest in saving the world. The reason why she joined the fight against The End is because he "gets on her nerves."

## Evaluation

1/2

xx/xx/2014 Research Building A, Laboratory Room Sigma

08:12 Replica of Picasso's "Guernica"

Combustion confirmed. No thermal variance detected on surface resin.

Thermal energy seems to originate from within the frame.

xx/xx/2014 Research Building A, Laboratory Room Sigma

10:32 Page 6 of Leo Lionni's "Swimmy"

Combustion confirmed. Material: paper. No source of ignition present.

Combustion confirmed in both cases near test subjects "H001", "M003" and "N004."

Further testing scheduled.

2/2

xx/xx/2014 Research Building A, Laboratory Room Sigma

09:30 "H001" and "N004" moved into room. Test commenced.

Doll is given to only "N004." Beginning observation of both subjects.

09:44 Confirmed combustion of the doll in subject "N004's" jacket pocket.

Chance of doll spontaneously combusting is less than 0.01%.

Aggregating personnel data on who was present in comparison to the combustion times.

Only one test subject corresponded.

All targets of combustion were in "H001's" line of sight, and were noted items of interest for the subject.

Evidence seems to indicate that the combustion occurs as a result of the subject's thoughts.

Conclusion: Test subject "H001's" mental activity manifests as thermal manipulation.

Confirmed ability: Pyrokinesis

## Erasure Dialogue (Spoilers)

### Traitor:

> Himeno: “\*sigh\* I’m astonished... To think you’d actually get the right votes. You all are correct… Because I am your enemy. A shame. Losing in this manner… really is a pity. I suppose all I can do now… is pass the baton to someone else to accomplish my goal. \*chuckle\* Don't mind me. I'm just being a sore loser. This is where we part. Go on and survive… for the sake of the world.”

> Himeno: “Congratulations. Your decisions were correct. After all, I am your enemy.”

> Sho: “That’s a lie... right, Himeno?”
>
>

> Himeno: “I’m sorry, Sho. All this time I was next to you, I’ve been walking an entirely different path. I’ve been fighting to destroy the things you wanted to protect after all.”
>
>

> Sho: “What do you mean...?”
>

> Himeno: “However, there’s one thing I want you to believe. All the time we’ve spent together, the feelings we’ve exchanged... Those aren’t lies, Sho. I really do consider you someone very precious to me. If it were possible, I would’ve saved everything precious to me. But... It can’t be done. And that’s why... I’m OK with this. If you’re the one judging me, I can gladly give up. Say, Sho. Even though it ended up this way, I... I actually like the Judgement room. You remember the talk about my past, yes? Since then, I started to fear looking at the things I liked, even after my abilities were under control. I was so scared that the same incident would occur. However, I never had to worry about that in this room. Because no matter how hard we try, none of our abilities activate here. And that’s why... my time in this room is the only moment I can look upon the things I love–the ones I love–face to face. Being in this room is the only time I can look at you directly. That’s a... a very delightful thing. That’s why... I’m OK with this. I wanted to protect what was precious to me... but you’re as equally important. So I’m fine with this decision.”

### Non-Traitor:

> Himeno: “... I see. So this is how it ends. A shame. It doesn’t seem like anything I say will change the situation at this point, so I have no intention of leaving any last words. …Except for this, however. As long as you’re alive, you must save the world. Or else I’ll fry you myself when you’re down in Hell. I leave the rest to you.”

> Sho: “Himeno…”

> Himeno: “I’m sorry, Sho. I couldn’t keep our promise to stay together until the end.”
>
>

> Sho: “Why are you apologizing?”
>
>

> Himeno: “Because this result was due to my own weakness. It’d be unbearable if I thought otherwise, you know?”
>

> Sho: “…”

> Himeno: “Hey… Sho? I’m disappointed that I have to be erased here… And I’m sad that I won’t make it to the end… but I kind of liked the Judgement room. You remember the talk about my past, right? Since then, I started to fear looking at the things I liked, even after my abilities were under control. I was so scared that the same incident would occur. However, I never had to worry about that in this room. Because no matter how hard we try, none of our abilities activate here.

> Himeno: “Thank you, Sho… and goodbye. The world that I love… Make sure you save it, OK?”
