Nii-chan, it's me...
Please listen to me. I know you can do it.
There is a final thing I can do for you.
The day when we have been born, you have saved my life. Do you remember it? I was dead, that day, before I began to cry. The doctors around us couldn't tell what had happened to me, so there couldn't be a rational explanation. If there was, they would have found it then, am I right? But so, the only one I could give to myself was your presence. My soul was leaving my little dead body, but you had dragged it back.
I have never been sure whether it has been good or not. There have been lots of cold days when I desired to have never come into light, there have been lots of dark nights when I desired to die... But... You were there, with our relatives, and with my boyfriend Alberto. Without you, my existence would have been a living hell.
I really can't understand how all of you were able to do it. Was it because of what we have been told when we were very little... About our Sympathiae Sanguis? I've never believed in it, honestly. But in the end you wanted me to be happy, just like I wanted you to be. I was desiring it so much that I started to clutch at every single grain of hope.
And so, when I fought against that man... I hoped not to be an ordinary girl. I wished to have some special power, I wanted to save everyone. It was enough to stop him until the others arrived, and I made it... But when I reached my purpose my will had like vanished, and this had been my end.
I know I am a little strange, but I was not that sad, while I was passing away. It can sound absurd, but the day of my death has been the happiest in my whole life. I had proven not to be junk.
But did this imply that I was really a person with mighty powers? Was I a super-woman? I fear not. If I had been such a person, I would have been like an invincible Goddess. And instead I lost. Nobody can't be such a being. I can't, you can't, our friends can't.
But this means that neither our enemies can.
That's why I can't allow you to follow me.
I was a normal girl. I was nothing special, on the contrary... I had been weak, during all these years... But I have been able to be strong, at least today. And if I could do it, you can, too.
I want you to stay down there, with the others. We will meet each other when you come back in front of God, but not now.
It will be our personal miracle. The others have told us lots of times that a miracle happens, if you desire it with all your inner might and main. It's so highly improbable, like winning a million times at heads or tails, though it's not impossible... But at the same time I know that you wished not to live, before falling fainted, prey of your sorrow... I'm aware of what you have done that day, to Mii-chan... And I understand your feelings, your regrets.
Though, I am sure you want to live, deep-down. That you want to live, and be happy.
I know it. I know you. I was your sister.
That's why I'm going to desire it with all myself. My only will... It will be enough for the both of us.
Because I want it... It's going to be my greatest wish. My last one, the one which will make me truly happy.
Because in all these years you took on my sins and my sorrow... Now I will take on your hopes.
My will will take yours by the hand, it will make it strong and powerful, and it will guide you.
I will bring you back.
And once I do it, we will be forced to part and go through different paths.
You on this earth, I elsewhere.
And so, please, wake up. Show to everyone what you can really do.
Wake up.
Please, wake up.
Wake up, and good luck, Nii-chan.
