"Mireille?" asked Kirika. "Tonight's job is unusually dangerous, isn't it?"

"Yes," Mireille said, "but the pay is excellent."

"We might not survive," Kirika thought out loud.

"That's always possible," Mireille said, "Are you backing out?"

"No," Kirika said quickly. "But we should enjoy this day, since it might be our last."

Mireille smiled. "Alright. Why not. What would you like to— oh!?"

Kirika suddenly embraced Mireille. "Uhm... do you want to do something together?" Mireille asked.

"Yes," Kirika whispered. "Can we?"

"Of course," a touched Mireille said. "What is it?"

Kirika looked deeply into Mireille's eyes.

"Uh oh," said Mireille.
