You know who isn't fine with that? Jay, the guy who spent the third movie trying to bring him back from the dead because he couldn't even comprehend a reality where Kay isn't alongside him (and to avoid an invasion, yes). So Jay starts looking out for Kay even more than ever before, even more than he looks out for himself. He isn't dumb, he knows his partner is old, he knows it's probably only a matter of time before something happens to Kay, but Jay is determined to keep him alive as long as he can, even if that kills him.

Kay notices. He obviously does, Jay is constantly two steps away from death because he keeps getting between Kay and danger. And then Jay actually almost dies. And it's different. It's not their usual "wow that was so close" situation, it's an "actually got a serious injury that will have repercussions on his health form now on" situation. And Kay realizes things need to change. Jay will always try to protect him, he won't let him die. So Kay takes him to that bench form the first movie (the "imagine what you'll know tomorrow" one) hands him his neutralizer and tells Jay he's retiring, because he can't keep being a men in black knowing it puts him in danger.

Jay protests. A neuralized Kay is better than a dead Kay, logically, but in the end it's all the same. He wants Kay by his side, he wants his partner. He doesn't want to have to look up at the sky, wondering if the only person out there who ever understood him is doing the same. He's about to start a fight when a thought comes his way. He's not exactly young anymore (57 or 61, depending on the continuity you're running with) and he doesn't want to spend one more day in mib trying to fill the Kay shaped hole that will inevitably be there.

It's simple really, if you think about it. They both retire. As far as I understand it, neuralization is a pretty loose concept. You can erase everything about a topic, but you can also erase only certain things. They erase everything about mib, except for one another. They could leave messages for themselves filling in some blanks as how you would do it if you neuralized some else. "You just saw x, it's actually y, you will do z."

They do it. They go back to civilian life. I have no idea what a normal life would look like for them, to be honest. Kevin seems pretty happy to work a normal job, provided he's surrounded by aliens and he gets to help people, even if it is with mundane things. The last job James ever had was filled with adrenaline and emotion, but that was way back then, when he was a young man looking for purpose and a place to belong. He knows where he belongs now: next to his partner, in their backyard after a long day, sitting side by side in two busted lawn chairs, holding hands and looking at the sky. Only they don't wonder if there's anyone out there that understands what it feels to be alone, because they're not.

The Space Saga of Pluto Planitia! #43

In a station tavern one night before heading to the Salacarra system, Pluto and Pixel are warned of the danger of the Rapscallion Rose, a space pirate that's been prowling the sector lately. This is extra-troubling for Pluto, for she'd been given a hot tip that a treasure fleet will be leaving that system soon. When she arrives there though, an unexpected pair of faces turn up, those of the duplicitous dual-headed Doubline Dealer!
