Mother,
I have to confess to you that Hiei and I will attempt a rite that may be fatal.
It may come as a shock to you that I write this so bluntly,
but any attempt to hide it would be unfair.
Understand that we both accept this risk willingly.
The ritual will join us forever in a bond that cannot be severed
and is vital to us, as much as air or water, despite the risks.
Please know that no matter the outcome, I will always love you.
Evermore I am your son, Shuuichi
