Why… why did it turn out this way?

I laid her head down gently on the ground.

'When you really love someone, you think about them before you think about yourself.'

After Ichigo chose that other guy… I thought I'd never love again.

I close her eyes and remove the sword from her hand.

But then you came along and loved me for me.

I took the sword and plunged it into my chest.

I told you I'd protect you,

I said that I'd keep you safe,

I promised to take you away with me…

I fell the ground beside her, taking her hand in mine.

And now, I'll make sure that we'll always be together.

I felt myself falling asleep and could hear her sister's crying begin to fade.

Because no matter what happens… I will always love you.
