"I still remember that day, you know? You were the god I would have worshiped only if I'd had the chance to do so. But you see how things have turned out to be. Now I'm walking in the Land of the Dead; and you're the new pope hidden behind a mask, which is not even yours.
I've seen the true you only once…it's so clear here in my mind—it's one of the memories that keep me wandering here in Sanctuary.
Only once…
Can you believe that, Saga? Can you still see me in your head as I see you in mine? Oh Athena, forgive my weakness, for that's what you are Saga. I'm weak because of you.
I can still feel you. Your lips over mine…and your hands…That moment brought only happiness to me. I felt I could endure it all; you were by my side, weren't you?
I can't help sighing now that I see you again. You're sleeping and I see you're not tranquil. You're struggling with yourself. It's your bright side, the one I knew, fighting against that part of you I always feared.
It is too late now, I know. Between us, everything happened only once. Only once.
I lay in your bed, next to you, yet you don't see me. You can't. You don't even notice me; but I'm here. My ghostly fingers touch your temples and you shiver slightly. Dream, God of mine. I'll save you from yourself at least tonight.
At least, just once."
