Why have you shut yourself in your room? What happened while you were

Ah, sequel. Also has the indent after starting quote (") problem.
The Nadesicos' situation was stable. Yurika had sent the main hull of
the battleship, containing the alien boson-jump computer brain, off into
the unknown. She had wanted to keep it out of the hands of all the waring
factions, Nergal, Earth and Jovians.
Nadesico's
<goes off and reviews the very end of ep 26 again> Oh! So they did.
That, however, raises the question of how they had the four Aestis on board
in "Loneliness", as well as how they (the Aestis) were being powered.
waring -> warring
"You'd hurt us both, Akito, to what end? Just so you don't have to feel
guilty? Be a man Tenkawa. Make a decision. I'd like you to go now."
"Be a man, Tenkawa." Suggest: "Now get out."
Damn what was I trying to do, thought Ryoko. Force him into Yurika's arms
and make him feel bad about it at the same time? I don't know what I'll
do if he chooses Yurika. I shouldn't have been so aggressive. He didn't go
straight to Yurika, he does care about me. I've messed it all up.
Damn, what was I...
Now the fighting is over, I could try and get posted back to a colony
space station, one of the surviving Earth/Moon Lagrangian stations, maybe
L3. Akito could run a restaurant there. I could still fly and Akito could
cook. We could work something out. Why didn't I say something? IDIOT!
Now that the fighting...
"Yurika it's Akito, can I come in?"
"Yurika, it's..." You get the idea.
"Why did you come back if you were happy there with Ryoko?"
I'm still trying to figure that one out too. :-)
"I'm going to marry Ryoko. We are having an engagement party at 13:00
today, I hope you will come."
Preferably without weapons.
Hikaru and Izumi came over and bailed up Ryoko.
Bailed up? I don't get it.
He gasped as he watched Ryoko arrive. He had never seen her in a dress
before.
Those little short skirted uniform dresses don't count? :-)
"What do think, Ryoko, pilots on a Battleship again. We won't be
running away, we'll be taking the fight to them. You don't have any
problems with young Captain Hoshino here do you?"
"What do you think, ..."
"I'm glad to have Omoikane back, I missed him."
As I recall, Ruri referred to Omoikane as she.
"I have a message for you both from Inez, it seems a bit cryptic but she
said you would know what it meant."
"Reality is what you remember."
"'Reality is what you remember.'" She's quoting, so you need quotes inside
the quotes. :-)
"Captain, we have found an airlock, the power source is immediately below
us. It's too small for the Aestivalis to use. Do want us to go in."
"Do you want us to go in?"
Ryoko stared upwards at the evening sky. The wind was blowing her hair
about showing her dark roots. She'd given up on dyeing it. The stars were
just starting to come out. She desperately needed to find a new star to
follow.
I'd have expected Ruri to come comfort her.
The ending seemed rather abrupt, but I expect that's because there's a
sequel; in my comments on Loneliness I didn't realize that Rings & Despair
were sequels.
