Sophie was happy for Mitsuki. She may not have the one she wanted but Takuro was perfect. "I wish he was mine. But he made his choice. Besides, I'm only half dead. They both are alive and well." I wanted to cry. I walked away from the concert they did together. "We have an announcement. Or really I have a question." I heard Takuto say. I looked back and see him on one knee holding a ring. "Takuto! Yes!" Now I really was crying. I was happy for them but still. I ran to the beach and to my surprise. "Takuto?" I see the ghost part of him. I thought that part vanished when he came back. How? He was singing. I recognized the song, so I decided to sing along.
Always in tears...I continue to search, like a lost child
But...A thing like eternity... doesn't really exist
It's okay to not trust anyone... you mumbled...
Was it the same for the both of us
oh,
Even though I decided to protect you back then...
Why can't I seal you away in my memories...
You're too far away... too close to me... for me to reach...
The more I try to forget...
The more you are in my thoughts...
What was I going to do? He was still here. Would I get my happy ending? Or just be forgotten like Mitsuki's friend? "Please stay," I whisper. He shakes his head. "Why?" I knew the reason but... "I don't want to lose you!" I shouted. Crying as he vanished. "NO!" pain and hurt and loss were flowing through me. Was this what he was singing about? I may try to forget the feelings I have. But they will never go away. In my memories, he will stay. "Takuto." tears fall. Is there a way for me to be with him at all? "It never was the same. I couldn't keep you safe. But you protected her." Eternity is real. But only in the life of the dead. "A part of you will be with me. And soon I will be with you too." Love. That is what will keep me going.
