Forgive me.
Please forgive me.
I can't excuse the way I treated you then, I can't make you forget. I can't make you forget how I punished you for something you could not foresee. Even though it was your destiny to become a Cardcaptor...no, the Cardcaptor, you had no idea until the day the Clow flew from the book at your command.
The blood of Clow Reed that flows through me, it wasn't enough. It could never show me the unwitting angel I was to rival.
I never had a chance against such a pure, beautiful, innocent angel, yet I tried, I was bitter and resentful of your destiny, it was the destiny I should have inherited. An inherited destiny? Now I know there can be no such thing. There are others in this world who would take the blood that runs through my veins and prove that destiny does not mean success or perfection, it was simply chance that I of all beings was born into this family and given this task.
But you. You showed me that destiny has it's way of finding perfection. The guardian of the Clow Book named you the Cardcaptor, knowing that your powers, your innocence and purity would seal the cards for the eternity that was to follow. How else could your voice alone have scattered the cards with a single word, spoken not from memory or learning but from curiosity.
Somehow, the day you found your destiny was the day mine became so clear. My belief in destiny misled me, and the life that my blood had set out for me was misinterpreted through habit and ritual.
Please forgive me for my bitterness. You twisted my path in life and lead it in a whole new, unexplored direction. Little did I know that it would take me to paradise.
Because of course,
it was my destiny,
to fall in love with you.
