Chapter 131.2

Alongside Peace (2) (へいわとともに②, Heiwa to Tomoni) is the second part of the 131st chapter of the To Your Eternity manga.

Summary
Fushi wonders how much Yuki knows for him to have him on his side. Yuki spouts out that he knows an "evil organization" stole Mimori's and Izumi's bodies and that they're gotta save them. Fushi is unsure about this and tells Yuki that he wants to save them but the Beholder (as a young boy) told him there was no way to fight them. Yuki speculates on who the boy really is and suggests to Fushi that the boy was just trying to say that Fushi's old methods aren't going to work. Yuki exclaims that they have words; even if force doesn't work, words can change hearts. Fushi is pessimistic about the idea but relents after Yuki's encouragement. Fushi asks Yuki to promise him that he won't tell anyone at home about this. As Fushi only brought them to the modern world to experience a peaceful life without ever being exposed to danger.

Once at home, as usual, Yuki bursts into the room about to spill his latest discoveries but Fushi stops him.

As Fushi feeds his horse he wonders why the Beholder became human. He wonders if the Beholder always wanted to become human. He then shakes the thought as he can't really consider the Beholder a "human" since he still has powers. Fushi wonders out loud what exactly a "human" is anyways and if he could figure out he could spot the Nokker-infested humans from regular humans. Just then, Yuki appears and says the difference between the two is "love."

Fushi questions what he means and Yuki explains that he's sure Nokkers don't experience love. Fushi asks what it even means to love and Yuki says it's like being nice to people. Fushi points out Mizuha's imposter mother is very nice to Mizuha and Yuki backtracks. Aiko appears and says love is a feeling of brotherhood, altruism, and affection. She then says loves isn't about actions (being nice); love comes from the heart. Aiko points out that Fushi's horse still doesn't have a name and speculates that when Fushi is able to truly love the horse, he'll be able to give it a name.

Fushi realizes he has no love. He heads to a beach and stares out into the ocean. Fushi realizes what he's doing for the others isn't love but rather it's only to satisfy himself. Fushi wonders if he's just not able to acquire "love" no matter what form he's in.

Fushi transforms into a sea turtle and swims out to sea. Fushi swims around as he ponders about his ability to love. Suddenly, he feels a strange heat from his stomach and rushes to the shore, where he digs a hole and lays eggs. Completely exhausted after the ordeal with tears streaming down his face, he wonders if this is "love".
