When Soushi started talking about existence and nothingness... I couldn't understand him at first. Then, as he told me he did not have much of his body left, I grew cold. I panicked. I refused to accept it. Him telling me he will go on the Festum's side for once made me lose my hope for a while. To my ears, what he was actually saying, was that he'd leave me, not to stand by my side anymore. As he disappeared I felt scared and the aching feeling of being lonley started to overwhelm me. I started calling out for him...

Then I could feel him with me one last time. He was me. We was one. Somehow, we'd finally become one, if only for a moment. He told me he was still there, telling me we'd meet again. That until then, won't I wait? Nothing can compare to what I felt as I could feel the last of Soushi's existence litterally slipping out of my hands.

I was back. It felt... odd. Unbelievable. A black mist threathened to smother my brain, my heart, my entire being. Loneliness. Relief, to be back, home... Disappointment, realizing it was empty. As I set my feet on the ground, I knew this was not my paradise. Not with him gone. I felt broken. I bit my lip, trying desperately not to cry. I could only think of him right then. I hoped and prayed that Soushi could hear me. I told him, told him I was there. That I would wait for him, for sure. When only silence answered my prayers, I couldn't stop the tear from falling. I only cried that once. That one tear. For Soushi.

Hearing more than feeling someone approaching. Knowing Toomi is standing only meters behind me. I'm silently watching her, still not able to remove the sad look that most definitely will be gracing my face right now... But I couldn't help it. How can I not be sad? He is gone... Closing my eyes, I force myself to believe in Soushi. Just then, as the wind blew above me, I could've sworn I heard him. Soushi, saying he understood now. That, even if it lead to pain, he'd choose to exist... in order to meet me again. Telling me that as long as I believe, he'll surely return someday. To where I am. That's when I opened my eyes again, a small smile gracing my lips. I will wait for him, always. And somehow, I know he heard me, because the black mist clouding my heart suddenly goes away, and I feel a familiar presence embrace me with the wind, before slowly disappearing, this time with a promise never to truly leave my side.
