You've become stronger now.

I'm happy for you.

Rin has become stronger now, too.

I'm happy for both of you.

Our plan worked out in the end. We were able to help the two of you become stronger, strong enough to face reality. This was all we wanted. We didn't want the two of you to wake up in a world of despair. Back then, it would have surely been impossible for both of you to cope with the new reality that was in store for you.

We were afraid. This was our one wish; To watch over you and make sure you became strong enough. To make sure she became strong enough. You've made me proud, Riki. You became strong, very strong, you've even surpassed me. I'm proud of you. I know you'll take care of Rin, and I know together the two of you will be able to make it in the real world, now.

It's time for us to part.

I knew this moment was going to come. I always knew.

Yet, why—

Why can't I stop crying?

I turn around, revealing my own weakness to you for one of the first times in a long time. I wanted to stay with you, forever. That was something I really wanted. To be with you forever, I liked you, I liked you and her way more than the two of you liked me.

I loved you.

"This isn't fair!" I yelled, cursing the world, cursing this reality that forced the two of us to be kept apart. Why? Why did it all have to end now? I wanted to stay with you, to stay with all of you. I wanted the Little Busters to be forever.

Being the leader of Little Busters wasn't always an easy task. No, this was one of the moments where that fact was out in the open. I didn't want to say goodbye. I wanted to say much more, to say all of the things I've been hiding from you, to speak of my feelings.

I couldn't do it.

There was no time to lose. Holding up this world by myself was tough, and it would all be over before we knew it. There wasn't any time, absolutely no time to think about what could have been and what should have been.

The tears wouldn't come to an end. I took a breath, and yelled one more thing. I yelled as loud as I possibly could in order to get your attention and let you know how urgent of an order this was.

I told you to leave.

I told you to run, to get out of here, to return to the real world with Rin. You hesitated, but you knew what you had to do. You learned what you had to do, and now, now you had the strength to do just that.

As you left I could feel my heart ache.

It was all over, now. The world the three of us had created in order to help the two of you was about to come to an end. Everything was about to come to an end.

Good luck, Riki. I'm sure you'll take good care of Rin for me.

Remember, don't cry.

Never cry.

Never look back, always look forward and be there to make sure Rin does the same.
