The ice cold Ruin Grader clicked and whirred softly, sitting still and staring at the blue mint plant in front of it. It longed for its partner, so far away. It slowly got up to its feet, its core melting some of the snow from its metal body. It could sense its partner in Inazuma, across the ocean… and mimicked what it had seen a person doing before… it delicately picked up a glass bottle and shook the note out from within, whirring and clicking for a moment before it picked up the mint near it, barely managing to get it inside with its giant, clunky hands. It corked the bottle once more… and tossed it into the water…In Inazuma, the Ruin Grader stood from its usual place against a tree, longing for its other half. Its partner. It looked over at the sakura blooms, metal body creaking as it reached out for them… it gripped the petals in its large hands, sad whirring coming from the Ruin Grader before it looked out at the ocean… it could feel its partner… and knew its partner felt the same. It made its way down to the beach… and done what it had seen many humans do… it grabbed a boat that wouldn’t sink, and put the petals on the floor within, before pushing it out into the waters… sitting on the beach instead of returning to the tree it often leaned against…They were an ocean away, with only mint and sakura blooms to keep them company…
