Nuriko... Nuriko... open your eyes. Stop fooling around already. I admit defeat, OK? You win this time. Now get up! Please, Nuriko, I beg you. Stop scaring me. This is not the time to play. It's not funny anymore. Come on, get up!!! Please.......... Nuriko, please.... I'm crying already... and that's something you can tease me about. Now wake up!! You're getting colder and colder. If you don't stand up soon, you be frozen! ......please, Nuri-chan!!!

Nuriko, do you want me to beat you up until you open your eyes? I know you're stubborn... everyone knows. So you can stop trying to prove it to us and start breathing again...

No... Nuriko is not dead. NO!!! stop fooling me! I will not believe it. You all must be lying. GO AWAY! I don't need liars. She's not dead. I refuse to fall for your lousy trick. She was still alive and beating drunkards up yesterday! SHE'S NOT DEAD!! Don't say that word! Nuriko................................................................................................

You've been a friend, a brother and a sister to me. All the while in the palace, you were the only one who knew that I felt a little scared and lonely, and intimidated by the splendour of the palace. I've never seen anything so rich and grand in my whole life. Both of us plotted and schemed together, joked and laughed together. We did so many things together.... Shared meals, plot pranks, think of ways to cheer Miaka up. You were almost a part of me. Don't die, Nuriko. Please. I don't want to be lonely again. I know there's still Miaka and the rest, but they each have their own pair... Miaka and Tamahome, Chiriko and Mitsukake, Hotohori and Chichiri... I don't have one SPECIAL friend, other than you. Nuriko.... Why did you fight that Ashtare by yourself? Even though you do have superhuman strength, he's also one of the Seiryuu Star warriors......... splitting up was definitely a bad idea.... If not, you could still be alive and chatting with me now. If I had known this would happen, I'd never agree to split into different groups!!

Nuriko... ............I'll always mourn for you. A part of me died with you. I'll remember you...... forever. I'll wait for the day I can meet up with you again.Till then, I wish you true happiness with your sister. I love you.

Ending note: Oh gawd, mushy!!!
