When Mikage died, I thought my heart died as well.
"Whenever you're happy, I can't help but to smile as well!"
All the things I need to apologize for cannot be forgiven.
"Come on, chin up, man!"
Something inside of me is changing, I can feel it.
"Forget about him. He's not worth it. Let's go, Teito."
I don't even have the right to stand next to you...
"You have to forget him..."
And I can't express my feelings enough.
"Thanks for all you have done, but you're still young."
What if I don't want to forget? What if those memories we made together were precious?
"Forget about him, and lead a fulfilling life—for his sake as well."
If I could forget, would I be able to lead a happy life?
"The dead never come back."
Forgive me. Forgive me for making a parent say such harsh things about her own child.
Why is this feeling so empty?
Once enough time has passed, will this crushing misery disappear?
This agony...
Will I find my own happiness?
Life isn't the same without you.
I loved you so much, and I was blessed with your love, too...
I've been counting the days...
And yet, now that you're gone, if I were to forget you...
And it's been so long.
Would that not be betrayal?
"Sorry Teito."
I was always a selfish person.
"You have to live."
I've always hid behind my iron mask and never showed my true feelings.
"We'll always be the best of friends."
So please listen to my last selfish request.
"I love you, goodbye."
...
...
...
...I love you too.
