Carrying the ashes of Xiao Sanmao, Chen Yu left UDI today and, unusually, did not take Hiromi Jounouchi home.
It wasn't that he didn't want to take his girlfriend home, but holding a box of ashes just didn't seem right; he needed to take the ashes home first.
As for taking ashes home, of course it wasn't because Chen Yu's professional habits were kicking in and he was planning to do something with someone's ashes. It was simply that his current residence was right next to a cemetery, and what better way to give this innocent girl a proper burial than by finding a plot of land right beside his own house?
Hiromi Jounouchi could very well understand such an action by Chen Yu. After all, it would be quite awkward for the remains if Chen Yu were to carry a box of ashes around with him while he escorted her shopping or took her home, even if Chen Yu himself didn't mind and she didn't care either.
With his girlfriend's permission, Chen Yu then went home with the ashes of Xiao Sanmao.
