Oh Haruka. It was so easy, once I'd found you, to become content with just watching you.
But I knew the moment had to come. There was no choice but for you to take it, I know that. But I didn't want you to. I wanted for you to be happy. All those years in solitude... I knew the memories would draw you to me.. but at what expense?
When I think about it, all of them were in love with the Princess. They had it so easy, being in her court, teaching her.. watching her grow, falling in love with her in their own ways.
The whole time we stood our solitary vigils, forgetting what it was like to speak, to see a smile, to feel really warm. It was empty, that waiting....
How I longed to break the rules, to reach out to you and touch you. I remember that.. do you remember that now, too?
Ultimately, we failed, if only because the menance came from within our boundries, and we were to protect her from the outside world.
The Queen wanted her to be so shelted. So stupidly shelted. She was beautiful, I heard. Seeing her now, I know she had to have been beautiful, then. But... was she as sweet? Did she even know of our existance? She couldn't have been as sweet, then, because our Princess would have tried to fix it.
But I found you this time before we could be shoved apart, Haruka. And I shattered your happiness. You were running and you could have run away... maybe. I didn't get a choice... so I tried to give you one.
And it was so easy afterword, my 'ruka. So easy, because naturally we spent more time together.
I always loved you quietly... do you know what a joy it was to be loved quietly back? When Setsuna come, I knew we were a family.. and then Hotaru... that poor girl, to be Saturn as well as our daughter...I'll forever call her that, you know. We raised her to who she is now.
She loves the new Princess, and so does Setsuna. I feel sorry for all of them, because while Small Lady may have a more level head on her shoulders than her mother once did... they can't help but choose who they do. And did. The Inners must hate him.
I would hate him.. and be thankful for him, as well. Endymion simply won. That doesn't change a thing, though. They love her, quietly.
How terrible it would be not to be loved quietly back.
I love you so dearly, my Haruka. I stopped caring the moment I saw you.. and knew. I wanted to paint a portrait of the wind.. but I realized it was not complete without the sea.
I am the sea... and quietly we move together.
