This is a very underrated story! Read it and find some tropes while you're at it!

These stories provide examples of:

Zero: "...Baby...?"

Iris: "Back then, you fought with all your spirit! You were absolutely fearless, and you always had the world's best interests at heart! And now, you want to lock yourself away because of a slim-to-none chance?"

Zero: "But Iris... You don't understand..."

Iris: "I understand that you're afraid... You're afraid of what might happen... I was afraid too when I started on this adventure, not knowing where I was going or if I'd ever find you... I fought numerous battles against a sadistic businessman who's still after me for some reason... I learned to kill... I watched friends get hurt and die right in front of me... I even had to fight a sicko using my brother's body... Now I HAVE found you, and all you say is 'put me back!'"

Zero: ...Iris...

Iris: "The Zero I know wouldn't whimper like this... The Zero I know would acknowledge the risk, but keep fighting for what he believed in... The Zero I know wouldn't let something like this stop him from living life to the fullest, and doing the best that he could do, and being the best that he could be!... ...That's the Zero I fell in love with...""
