Lucy? Can you hear me?
I passed through my gate again. Don't worry, I'm using my own magical power so as not to drain yours. I just wanted to see you.
Listen, Lucy. I love you.
I don't know when it happened, whether it was when I first met you, or when we first made a Contract, I don't know.
I just know that I've completely fallen for you. ... I also know that you don't feel the same about me.
It's okay. I understand. You love Natsu, don't you? I don't mind, really. In fact, all I want for you is to be happy. If he's the one who can bring you happiness, then I'm happy, too.
I just need to let you know just how important you are to me.
After Karen's death, my life was like a black hole. My world was plunged into darkness and I felt like I had fallen into a deep hole with the entrance nowhere to be found. I tried to fill the void in my heart and move on by surrounding myself with plenty of girls and joining another guild, giving myself the name "Loke." I chose Fairy Tail because at the time there were no Celestial wizards who might blow my cover. After joining, I feigned happiness, not daring to get attatched to anyone despite my constant meaningless dates. Even though I was gaining popularity in the wizarding world, nobody had figured out that I was the spirit of Leo, nor had they found out about my unforgivable crime. I started to grow accustomed to the Human world, knowing my days were numbered. Until one day, about three years after Karen's death.
The day I met you, Lucy.
Do you remember? In the midst of the normal Fairy Tail chaos I talked to you, not knowing that someday you would make so much of an impact on my dreary, dissipating life. That you would become the light of hope in my world consumed in darkness. That you would eventually go through so much lengths just to keep me in this world.
When you saved me from disappearing, I didn't know how to thank you then nor will I ever.
If I had died back there, I would have never been able to experience having someone so filled with light, so kind, so radiant as you to have a contract with.
I still feel so much sadness, so much despair over what I did to Karen, and I will always feel that way, however you have helped me so much more than you will ever know.
Thank you, Lucy. I'm so glad to have met you.
Love,
Loke.

Leo set down the note and flowers on the gravestone next to the others from those who had been there before him. "Will you be okay, Leo?" Aries' soft voice called out to him, and he stared at his previous master's gravestone for a while, forcing the tears to go back into his eyes.
"Y-yeah," he turned around and took his friend's hand. "She's in a better place now. We must be going." They departed for the Spirit world, their contracts with Lucy Heartfilia officially nullified permanently.
