"I don't know whether I can be as generous as the others, but I can give you two things before I leave. First, the Scarampella."

Just then, Honami called from the Blade's airlock. "Yayoi! We have to go! Now!"
Yayoi waved at Honami without looking. "I'm sorry I have to leave so quickly, Shinji. Tell Jet that you can keep the piano. And, please, call me if you find some music you think I might like." Then she gave him a quick hug, whispered "Until we meet again," and turned and left Frigga.
