I am your concert hall right now.
You belong to me now.
Ries… Was it correct for me to do that? Was it ok for me to keep you from disappearing?
I didn't want to lose you again, my knight. My beautiful and cute knight. You sacrificed yourself in order for me to survive. Yet in this twisted course of actions, you arose again in front of me.
Even with all my knowledge, I could never find the right words to express how I felt when I saw you in front of me. Words are a very limited medium of communication, but that is not the problem. The hope and joy that filled my whole being were simply too great… even if I knew I had to fight you.
Since you are using two portions of my Memory Partition, I'll need to give you some suitable work to make up for it.
You know Ries… I only said that so you wouldn't feel bad about taking some of my ability. I do not mind allowing you some of my Memory Partition if it means I get to be with you. Two portions doesn't mean much compared to the entirety of my heart that I'm giving to you.
Are you really ok with that kind of existence? Would you have preferred to be left to disappear? Are you saying it's fine because you feel it's your duty to protect me? On that night against TATARI, were still only following your duties?
Ries… What do I mean to you? I do not want to read your mind for the answer. Someday, I'll gather the courage and ask you to say it. Until then, please stay by my side.
If I still get to protect someone, then I couldn't be happier.
If I still get to protect you, then I couldn't be happier is what I really wanted to say. Sion, I already gave myself away for you and I would do it again if necessary.
Duty or not duty, it does not matter. I want to be with you and protect you of my own will. Because I love you.
I sacrificed myself for you because a world where you are not is not one I could exist in.
Sion, why are you keeping me by your side? Why are you giving up so much for me? Could it be for the same reason I would give everything for you?
Someday, I'll ask you.
Thinking about the future doesn't really suit me. All is well as long as I have 'now'
So for now Sion, I will stay by your side for as long as I am allowed to.
Tell me Sion…
What do you want me to do?
